Amen nebula...I understand completely ... :emot-highfive:

I thank God for the blessing of tongues...

but it does not matter so much to me whether anyone who has not had the experience believes me or not...

I cannot make anyone see it...

anymore that I can tell an unsaved person that Jesus is real and make them see it....

You have to hear from God for yourself...

I know it is real ...hundres and hundreds of other Christians I know, know it is real , and I am happy in my Christian experience.....

Mark you cannot "what if" , it is either yea or nay..

you could "what if yourself" into a coma and get absolutely nowhere.....

I believe all those scripture that talks about tongues means just that ...tongues

I understand. I wasn't asking to direct an argument. I was just interested to know if Nebula, or you Tah, would acknowledge Scripture over experience. Maybe I should have asked it plainly.

Hey, Nebula, Tah! Would you acknowledge Scripture over experience if there was a clear cut case? (of anything?)

Tah,

The discussion was about tongues. One person seemed to be saying that their experience was more valid than a Scriptural explanation. Since there is debate about the meaning of the passages I was just seeking a clarification from Nebula and you about which is more important - personal experience or Scripture - if there was a real conflict or not. I used the word "if" to be diplomatic. I should have been plain and asked right out, "If someone can show you that Scripture clearly contradicts your experience with tongues would you side with Scripture or experience?" I do not believe that the Holy Spirit would Contradict Himself and that if we looked at Scripture in a prayerful manner maybe He would resolve it for us - if we approached it as brothers and sisters in Christ.

But before that can happen, it is important to know if you value Scripture over experience in order to go to it for the answers.

What do you think?

Mark

I'mn ot against correct understanding.

I j ust question how correctly someone can understand the gift who doesn't have it.

I understand what you are saying here I think, but I am not sure I totally agree. Anyone can understand what the scripturtes tell us about any of the gifts without having the gift. Having the gift will not give us additional knowledge beyond what is contained in scripturre. However those who have it have a deeper understanding of the impact it has had on their own lives.

Not more valid than Scripture.

Read again -

Rather the understanding and interpretation of what the Scripture is actually saying.

BIG difference!

OK - then what do you understand Paul to be saying when he says:

1 Cor. 14:4 - He who speaks in a tongue edifies himself,

How do you think a person speaking in tongues "edifies himself"?

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
