 When Jesus, when Paul makes that statement, he says you're just speaking mysteries in the air. Okay, let me ask you this question before I move. Why do you think that he made a valid point on that? Because if you are speaking mysteries, that means that you're giving information that cannot be understood by the person hearing it. A static speech is babbling. And that babbling, that is not a mystery. That's just babbling. But wait a second. Wait a second. Wait a second. Go ahead. Go ahead. As he's speaking, Paul is literally telling them, and they and everyone else today is going to say the same thing. They don't know what they're saying, are they? Do they? The person that's speaking in verse, I mean, type of 14, do they know what they're saying? No, they do not. Okay. So they're speaking a mystery. Does Paul not tell them that you need to have understanding? As a matter of fact, he starts the whole discussion on Numitika, on the spiritual things that I don't want you to be unaware, unknowing or ignorant. So it would be contradictory to come back and say, but go ahead and do this. Now, this is where we get this, this, by the way, speaking mysteries in the air, we know for a fact that that terminology, that that statement is not a statement of affirmation, anything positive. At that time, that's a negative statement. That is not a positive. Now, we see that because we're trying to make it fit, right? We're trying to make tongues fit. But the question I've always asked is, what is Paul rebuking? Remember, the entire letter is a letter of rebuk. Paul is never saying, you guys are doing a wonderful job. And he's covering this issue of division throughout the entire letter. And so he gets a spiritual gifts and say, you guys are dividing yourselves up on this as well, trying to desire what you think are the greater gifts and so forth. What you ought to desire, what you're supposed to desire is the building up of the body. But then he'll come back and say, well, but go ahead and build yourself up. No, he is speaking. He's being sarcastic and he's putting them down. That's why it comes back and says that very same person who doesn't know what he's saying, he says, you're just speaking to the air. And so he says, what I want you to do as we go down to verses 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, that I want you to, instead of praying in a tongue, I want you to pray not with a tongue anymore. He didn't say it now. Is he necessarily negativing that thing that you shouldn't pray in a tongue? What he does say is, I want you to pray with understanding. Well, you were praying with your tongue, but you didn't know what you were saying. So he's clearly knocking that. Now, if someone wants to say, well, he also wants you to pray in tongues with understanding, if you don't know what you're saying. And so I'll say this, if anyone is praying in a tongue or speaking in a tongue, by the way, there's never an example of anybody in the Bible ever praying in tongue. But if anyone wants to do anything in a tongue, if you want to take a shower in a tongue, I don't care. If you don't know what you're doing, Paul says, I don't want you to be ignorant. And then he comes back later on, 13, 14, 15, says that I want you to have understanding. I want you to know what you're saying, because what you're doing, your mind is unfruitful. So he could not have been saying, he could not have been saying that one, that you're identifying yourself as a, as a, that's a good thing. And he could not be saying where he says, on the screen, he says, for the one who, who speaks in a tongue singular does not speak to men, but to God, for no one understands, but in his spirit, or is either his spirit or the spirit, we're not sure, because we take this, the Greek of this can be taken either as his spirit or the spirit, but in the spirit, he speaks mysteries. We're never told that we should be doing anything kind of in a mysterious fashion. The only mystery that we know of that's a good mystery is that the Gentiles have salvation. So that's my, that's my only critique. And so remember at the founding of the church, even up until the first century, third century, fourth century, fifth century, remember, up until the 20th century church, no one took speaking mysteries was a good thing. No one took that edifying yourself was a good thing. So they're in, they're in lives of problems. So now someone comes and says, this is supposed to do now that onus is on, on that person to tell us, to prove to us, this is what you ought to do. Well, yeah, well, the only problem I have is with that. And, you know, I, you know, I went through the logos, my logo software, just like you went through yours. And, you know, commentaries, they don't say that that those mysteries were not unknown understandings. As a matter of fact, you know, Paul comes back in verse 14 and says, for if I pray in an unknown tone, my spirit pray. So it's very clear that he's saying that unknown tongues are pray for, because he says, if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit pray, but my understanding is unfruitful. So he's clearly saying that I pray, I can pray in an unknown tongue where I won't understand it. And then he goes on, he goes on and say, what is this then? I will pray with the spirit and I will pray with the understanding also. I will sing with the spirit. So he's saying here that there's a way for you. And how do you get understanding? Because you have interpretations. Okay, but he's not saying that you can't pray if you don't have interpretation. Couple, couple of things. Because what we're doing is we are omitting everything that was ever said about tongues and about spiritual gifts prior to 1 Corinthians 14. So it's almost like we said, let's just take the entirety of the canon prior to Acts 14. I mean 1 Corinthians 14, forget it. I mean 1 Corinthians 14. There's only three chapters, though, brother. There's only Acts and Corinthians that really deals with tongues. Well, no, it's not. No, it's not. First of all, what did the Bible say about these spiritual gifts? And then even in 1 Corinthians 14, Paul literally references Isaiah 28. Isaiah 28 is clearly about people speaking different languages. So that part is clear also. Then when we get to John, Jesus says that when you get the spirit, you are going to testify of me. And every other time that we see the Bible speaking about spiritual gifts is for the building up of others. Paul did not say that you guys aren't spiritual and you guys aren't saved. He says that since you desire to be, since you're zealous for the spiritual things, then fine, be zealous for the things that built the body. So he's not saying that yet. Listen, I was there. I used to speak in tongues and pray in tongues and so forth and I thought I was doing something and I felt this joy. The problem is you can do things and not know what it is you're doing that make you unsaved or anything like that. But you can be saved and do things ignorantly but still with a desire to do the right thing. We do that all the time as human beings. We want to do the right things and think we're doing the right things. And then lo and behold, we find out that was the wrong thing. And so what Paul is doing is Paul is saying, listen, he says, if I pray in a tongue, singular tongue, my mind pray, my spirit prays, but my mind is unfruitful. Well, Paul has been telling us that he doesn't want you to be ignorant. So if so fine, if you can pray in a tongue and know what you're saying, have at it. Now, by the way, this is still under the guise of speaking in tongues. There's no two gifts speaking in tongues and then the gift of tongues or speaking in tongues and praying in tongues. No, it's all the same thing. I agree. And so previous to act, first Corinthians 14, also all throughout the history of mankind and even up to the 20th century, tongues have always been an actual language and Paul brings it in as he gets, as he brings in Isaiah 28. And so now all of a sudden we change the rules. Why? Because somebody in 1900 and 1906 or 1901 decide that, well, it's not a language. We found out that our speaking in tongues that Agnes is Agnes Osmond. Her language wasn't actually Chinese after all. And so how about we go ahead and say it's not that it's something new. It's an angelic language. We've never heard that before. We are now redefining. There are two different renderings. Even though you said they mean the same thing, you know, the tongues that is spoken of an act, that word is dialecto. It's different from. It's the same thing though. It's a different word. It's a word with the same meaning. But my point is. Why not use the same word then? Why not use the same word? How many times throughout the scriptures do we use different words for the same thing? I hear what you're saying. I also don't think that within the Greek structure of the same book that you would just automatically use two different words. There's the dialecto is the one word and there's glacia is the other word. And let me ask you a question. Here's how we can figure that out. Here's how we can deal with that argument. Let's go to acts two. And we're going to see two different words used to say the same thing. Okay. So if if we drop, we see chapter two. We put on the screen so everyone else can see as well. So we have the word tongues. It says La Lane heterosclosives, which is they were to speaking in other languages. Right. Then we drop down and we know they're speaking in these other languages. Right. That part, we know what's happening. And so what do they say just just two verses later, we hear them speaking. I'm sorry. We see the same word dialecto. So the same word dialecto in verse six is clearly speaking about languages, clearly speaking about what's happening as they're speaking these different languages and why would you use that word to give an understanding that it's not the same language. So in other words, this person heard it in in let's go to the languages that are mentioned. This person heard. Go ahead. Wait a minute. So let me make this clear. So you're saying that the cloven tongues and acts two verse three is the same tongue as mentioned in verse six. I disagree with that. That's not the same tongue. Says who? You gotta give a passage because it's talking about the same incident. The same incident is happening. They get these they they the these cloven tones of this fire that's on them. And then what do they do? They do it. Remember Jesus tells them what they're going to do in in John 15 and acts one. Then they go out and do it. He said, you're going to be my witnesses where first in Jerusalem, which is where they are. And then there'll be their witnesses in Samaria, which is what comes next in acts eight and then to the rest of the world acts 10 acts 19 and all throughout the scriptures because now they're going to different parts of the world and they're giving and they're giving the gospel. So here's the problem. If you're going to say that what happens in the first part of acts two is different than what's happening here. You don't have a sweepers back that up. We're hearing them saying because remember, look what it says, go from verse five to six. You're saying from verse five to six is something different. Verse four. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with. Look what it says. La lane headerized close size. So they're speaking. Now notice these two words. La lane and glow size. I don't know if you can see that on the screen, but La lane glow size. We're going to see them saying using those same two words all throughout acts two. Now now there were Jews living in Jerusalem, devout men under every nation. And when they heard the sound occurred, the crowd came together and were bewildered because they heard them. Each was hearing them speaking in their own language. And they were saying they were astonished. Why aren't all these who are speaking got a lens and so forth. And then let me drop down and notice the words show right back up. Wait a minute, Matt. Hold on one second. I'm pushing buttons. Notice the okay. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Let me just read it through. So I don't have to go look at what I do. I erased what I put on here before. So notice what was happening. Verse five. Devout men from every nation. And when they when this sound occurred, which sound? What's the sound that was so I'll ask you put you back on the screen. What sound did they hear? Oh, oh, Robert left off. I'm sorry. I'm pulling back on. I'm sorry. Robbie dropped off. So question, Robert lost your story. I'm back in verse five. He says now there were Jews living in Jerusalem, devout men from under every nation. And when this sound occurred, what sound? The sound of them speaking in tongues. That's not the same as the cloven tongue. You just you. It's the only thing that we hear. We hear them in verse. Think about look, look what you're saying and appeared to them. Verse three tongues as a fire, distributing themselves and they rested on each one of them and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to do what? Speak with other languages or tongues as a spirit gave utterance. Now they began to speak. Speaking what? So what the sound they were hearing was what were they speaking? What were they speaking in according to verse four? What were they speaking? Tongues. What kind of tongues? What do you mean other tongues? Languages, actual languages. Right. Languages. Okay. And so in verse five, I'm sorry, verse six, and when this sound occurred, what sound? Them speaking in other tongues. Okay. So now verse six, they were speaking in other tongues and at the very end of verse six, what are they called? Those other dialects, dialects, the very same word that's used in first Corinthians. And so dialect and languages is the same thing. They're referring to the same thing as they don't use dialect or they use Glossier. They use a different word is what I'm trying to say. They don't use dialect though and in Corinthians. Okay. Even to my, even to my point, even to my point, Glossier is the exact same words that's used in Acts. So we're talking about the same thing in Acts two and first Corinthians 12 and 14. We can't then all of a sudden say, you know what? Tell them about something different. No, it's not. If they're using exact same words that were used in Acts two, even if you want to include the longer ending of Mark, the same two words that's used there. So speaking in these languages is what they're talking about in first Corinthians 12 and 14, as well as Acts two. Are we okay? So I got you. I don't, I don't fully agree, but I got you. I don't think mysteries or babblings. And I think that dialecto is used in Acts. Glossier is used in the other verses and again, and including when the clothes and tongues came down. This is what I've said to people that that, because I think you got to fight. I think a person has to fight to disagree. So I'll say this and I got to let you go. So I get to the next people. But if a person wants, if you just dead set on speaking in tongues and you feel has done the best for you, fine, you better understand what you're saying according to the scripture. If there's no understanding, no explanation, no interpretation, then what you're doing goes against scriptures. Amen. And oh, by the way, if you get in private, listen, if you guys spoke in tongues in private, wouldn't be an issue. We wouldn't even talk about it. I wouldn't know. But then you come out in the streets and you go to, how about that? Then you know what? Now, now you brought me in because you brought my ears in. Now, what is this you're saying? And if you're saying this has to do with the Lord, now that's my daddy. So I want to know, right? Because if I came in, listen. Well, you and I agree. I agree. He spoke in public, but I believe it can be spoken in private. Okay. Well, I'll leave it there. Listen, brother, that was good. I would love to keep you on, but I've got to move to the next one.
