marcuz1977 SG

Is praying in tongue normal or a gift or it shouldn’t exist in the 21st century?

Word for word. I agree with you.
Gift of Tongues was ceased.

stupidissmart SG

my dog have it too.

The best way to see if it is a real "tongue" is a person who can recognise it. If everyone just speaks haywire and no one understand, then it just meant it is crap. Everyone can speak gibberish. Lets just be rational and think for a moment. If tongue speaking is prevalent in hindu (example) and not in christianity, wat do u think u will say about speaking in tongue ?

Icemoon SG

If praying in tongue is just the gibberish commonly heard in church, then it is not verifiable. No use speculating.

If someone can suddenly speak some ulu African language, then it is worth a second look. There are testimonies of such phenomena happening.

SIS, I don't think this is very polite .... especially when someone's parent is involved.

I am not targeting on particularly anyone but anyone who think they speak in tongue. So just because someone says they knew someone who speaks in tongue meant tat no one can ever speak bad things about speaking in tongue ? R u insulting my dog ? Why do u think tat only men can speak in tongue while animals can't ? R u claiming tat my dog can't speak in tongue when u doesn't even know it ? No one can verfiy its authencity anyway, u can't prove tat my dog can't speak in tongue either.

Speaking in tongue is gift which not everyone can get.

Even the pope and mother teresa don't have it. U think u r more holy than them to gain the gift of tongue ? Wat is the point of speaking in tongue when no one understands it ?

Hmmm… tis reminded me of something tt I had wanted to ask anyone long ago.. When u go to a church n everyone ard u started to pray in tongues, r they really praying or speaking garbbish?? From wat I know, tongue is a gift language.. But does it mean that everyone who goes to church will noe it?? tot it belongs to onli selective few?? If not everyone noes it, then it means that they r faking it..

There is nothing wrong with speaking in tongues. Even we Catholics have it. If it brings you closer to God, then good. But if you fake it, better be careful…

human psychology is weaker than u think. U can convince people to do crazy things or think he had the ability to do crazy things if u had done enough convincing. U can see many examples of cult making members commit sucide or killing their babies with just one word from the religious leader. With enough convincing, u can tell people tat they can communicate with a being tat doesn’t exists and worse still, think they can speak ina tongue where no one understand.

Let's ignore those cases that simply cannot be verified, ie. unintelligible tongues. How about focusing on tongues that are actually foreign languages? Discussion will be more constructive this way.

Rolling Eyes topic starter asked a qns, seems like he's not going to be answered...in fact learn whether tongues got how many foreign language.

Its a gimmick, and testament to the proposition that religion is the bane of logical thinking.

It reminds me of the many quacks in martial arts circles who make use of suggestible students. Eg. a number of people claim they can do pressure point knockouts, and by this they mean one-touch (not one-punch) knockouts. Now, the problem is that they appear only to be able to do this to their students. This will suggest that the students are unconsciously faking it. I tink this tongue nonsense is a variation of that.

Silly christian fundies. Very Happy

My view may very well change if it can be shown that the Gibberish spouted by some is actually a proper Foreign Language that the utterer has had no experience with. And and i dun mean one or two foreign words either - i mean proper conherent senteces.

Now, if uttering nonsense if a sign that one has received a baptism from god, then I, a non believer has received baptism from god because if i can utter Gibberish. So do all babies. And someone mentioned dogs too.
