Do you have the "holy ghost" or "speak in tongues"?

[MostReal]

I don't have the cognitive dissonance required to take solace in the existence of an imaginary being. Not to mention I'd rather God be helping starving children rather than my stresses.

You can't trust your subjective experiences. How about you look up information and scientific studies regarding speaking in tongues?

shyt is purely a social phenomenon. The fact that it isn't real shouldn't effect your belief in God at all, again, religion is the culprit here, not merely a belief in a higher being. Schizophrenics also sometimes speak in tongues. It wouldn't surprise me if Christianity was created by a schizophrenic who thought he was hearing the voice of God.

I've actually contemplated that before... from my dealings in the healthcare field it does make one ponder.
But after examining the ins and outs...my faith was restored and unshaken.

throughout his history...man has shown that he could & should never fully be trusted...so why would I put all of my faith into man?

The limitations of science is another issue to deal with. To parlay off of my health field experience and study of science there are still things that we cannot explain. For instance, recently a guy was pronounced dead by an MD/coroner. He was placed in a body bag and was in that capacity for over more than an hr. Once placed on the funeral home table...he started kicking to try to get out. This happened no less than a month ago.

now from my experience, once your heart stops & the nurses see that you are dead, they call the MD & corner both have to come from wherever they are and then pronounce the guy. Time lapses should be at least 30mins. The body is then prepared for the Funeral Home by the nurses...maybe about 5-10mins. By this time, someone should have easily noticed this guy's chest moving from breathing if he was alive after all that. During this time the nurse will discuss with the family the funeral home they want to use. That's about 15min for the Funeral home to drive there and back to embalm him depending on proximity. Plus he was placed in a body back that is plastic which should make a guy like him that has oxygen/resp problems even worse & harder for him to breath...suffocation should easily occur with a guy like him.

They rationalize it with a pacemaker kicking back in once he entered the funeral home. The problem with this is all of the time that has past with his brain and heart not having any oxygen he should have been dead any way. I don't know how to explain it? Do you?

Catching the Holy Ghost is simply your chakras or whatever they are called being activated. Same thing happens with the monks. I think it's called waking your dragon...it feels like your body has been electrocuted.

Concerning speaking in tongues...my question is: Why everyone who does it are saying the same thing. To me that reaks of imitation.

A man who was improperly pronounced as dead doesn't have anything to do with speaking in tongues or catching the holy ghost. It's clear that speaking in tongues is a social phenomenon perpetuated by religion and various social expectations. I'm not trying to patronize you but damn does it get old conversing with religious folks and having them completely move the goal post and then ask "Can you explain this?" just to try to show that you don't know everything. You say man can't be trusted yet you believe in a religion created by men who can't be trusted, let alone the fact that it was created thousands of years ago by people who had very little to no scientific knowledge. The scientific method is the only way we KNOW things today, so to single out "limitations" is a little ridiculous and disingenuous. Again, I have no problem w/people who believe in a higher power, but religion is absolutely ridiculous. Let alone this whole speaking in tongues bullshyt

Used to see people doing this in church growing up.

Even as a kid I was pretty much lik "What a bunch of attention whores ".

Suffice it to say my opinion hasn't really changed. Why would god manifest his power by having people roll around on the floor and babble like idiots? Seems like feeding some starving kids or curing some diseases would be preferable.

Just saying.

 

[ReturnOfJudah]

I exposed the lies about speaking in tongues

 

[Archangel]

It is very real and a supernatural experience from God Himself.

 

[:-)]

No but my girl can. I've seen it when she was doing some healing work on me and she went to pray she started spazzing out and speaking in tongues. It doesn't bother me at all

 

[TRUEST]

Speaking in tongues is very real. However, mankind has made a mockery out of it for the purposes of vanity.

The bible does give you the answers.

A speech in tongues is meaningless if it is not interpreted to the public. When someone speaks in tongues and is under the influence of genuine holiness, that person is no longer in control of himself. A spirit speaks through him. This spirit causes the person who is inhabited to begin to spew an automatic, fast recitation of speeches that are foreign to the ears of the congregation. These speeches are languages spoken in ancient times which no man in current times can understand.

Upon completion of the divinely inspired recitations, the spirit causes the inhabited individual to repeat what he just recited a second time, but this time, it is done in a language the congregation can understand. And in this interpretation that the spirit reveals secrets of the future to specific individuals in the congregation.

Example:

inhabited person: maria, daugter of Helen, do not proceed on the endeavor you have planned for the path you have chosen is laced with sorrow.​

Beware of those that 'speak in tongues' with no interpretations to follow.

I've seen in happen as a kid , they'd litteraly start running around the building too

Very crazy exp

 

[ReturnOfJudah]

Bunch of weirdos ITT. That shyt is real demonic. That's the only thing "real" about that shyt.

 

[Afrodroid]

I have witnessed this phenomenon several times since i was a kid, it's kind of scary because you can't understand what is said and why

 

[GodinDaFlesh]

"8 Love never ends. But as for prophecies, they will come to an end; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will come to an end. 9 For we know only in part, and we prophesy only in part; 10 but when the complete comes, the partial will come to an end. " -1 Corinthians 13


All gifts of tongues and prophecies came to an end with the completion of the New Testament. Anyone who says they can speak in tongues receive prophecies from God are full of shyt.
