re satanic tounges in article may athos rutgers edu hudson athena cs uga edu paul hudson jr writes in article may athos rutgers edu koberg spot colorado edu allen koberg writes hmmm in the old testament story about the tower of babel we see how god punished by giving us different language can we assume then that if angels have their own language at all that they have the same one amongst other angels after all they were not punished in any manner if the languages we sepak are the result of babel then it stands to reason that angels would speak a different language from us you do have a valid point about multiple angelic languages but angelic beings maybe of different species so to speak maybe different species communicate differently i don t know either truth be known so little is known of angels to even guess all we really know is that angels always speak in the nativ tongue of the person they re talking to so perhaps they don t have any language of their own trouble is while such stories abound any and all attempts at verification and we are to test the spirit either show that the witness had no real idea of the circumstances or that outright fabrication was involved the brother puka story in a previous post seems like a friend of a friend thing and linguistically a two syllable word hardly qualifies as language inflection or no i have heard an eyewitness account myself such things are hard to prove they don t lend themselves to a laboratory thing very well i don t know if it is a very holy thing to take gifts into a laboratory anyway well we are told to test the spirits while you could do this scripturally to see if someones claims are backed by the bible i see nothing wrong with making sure that that guy lazarus really was dead and now he s alive much as many faith healers have trouble proving their victories since most ailments cured are just plain unprovable and modern day ressurrections have never been validated so is it true that no modern day xenoglossolalia has been proved by clergy or lay that s an unprovable statement how can you prove if somethings been proved there is no way to know that you ve seen all the evidence once i saw an orthodontists records complete with photographs showing how one of his patients severe underbite was cured by constant prayer it s a common fallacy you commit the non falsifiability trick how can i prove it when not all the evidence may be seen answer i can t the fallacy is in assuming that it is up to me to prove anything when i say it has never been proven i m talking about the ones making the claims not the skeptics who are doing the proving the burden of proof rest with the claimant unfortunately pontification warning our legal system seems to be headed in the dangerous realm of making people prove their innocence end pontification but truthfully corinthians was so poorly written or maybe just so poorly translated into english that much remains unknown about just what paul really intended despite claims of hard proof one way or another some will see his writings in cor as saying don t do this don t do this and using sarcasm metaphor etc while yet others take what he says literally sarcasms and metaphors notwithstanding me when i read cor about praying speaking in tongues regarding building oneself the church i see him using compare contrast saying do this because it build the church while doing this builds onself implying don t do that it s a common usage of writing that we all employ and it is easily seen how it could be interpreted this way why some do and some don t is a mystery
