I'm not sure who you are from your handle. Feel free to PM me. Btw, what is your concern on the tongues page.

when speaking in tongues can the person speaking also interpret the togue also or does it have to be someone other than the person.

[SaudaraLink]

Thanks for the question. I Cor. 14:28 says 'let one interpret.' It does not say whether the one who interprets has to be a different person. Since verse 13 says to let him who speaks in tongues pray that he may interpret, I believe the speaker in tongues can also serve as the interpreter. Personally, I'd rather see another person interpret if another person also gets the interpretation. Sometimes more than one person gets the interpretation.

Don't apologize for the KJV. I love it and the Greek and Hebrew it came from. I appreciate this teaching. I have written things like this.

HI LInk!! Long time so hear from you and today I was looking for something else and found this. Wow, I am not really sure what I think. I would certainly loose the cartoon!! While you teaching is good, I have to wonder how much you put into practice. The whole teaching of tongues is was off base and WHY do all house churches base almost all teaching on 1 Co. 14?

[SaudaraLink]

This is not clear from the text. Paul may be mentioning the fact that he speaks in tongues to show that he is not opposed to the practice.

It's obvious by his teaching that "tongues" were being used int he Corinthian church as a measure of one's spiritual maturity (sound familiar?), which is why he mentions his own ability to speak in languages. The point being that tongues was being used inappropriately, therefore he needed to preach to the Corinthians regarding the deeper truths, namely love.

Like a clanging cymbal? Can any of us sound like a clanging cymbal?

[custardflan]

That's an example of hyperbole. Paul is not saying that it is possible for us to speak such a language. Is there another passage in the entire Bible that suggests such a thing?
