1 Corinthians 14:21 ¶In the law it is written, With * * other tongues and other lips will I speak unto this people; and yet for all that will they not hear me, saith the Lord.
That is what Paul is speaking about throughout the whole chapter. The asterisks are where there were words added by the translator which were not at all in the Greek text Paul's letter is translated from.
And the most frequent added word by the translator throughout that entire chapter is the word, "unknown", showing this heresy occurred way back then at the time those translations were produced.
unknown just means a language that the person didn't know of.
it's referring to
people of strange lips and with a foreign tongue.
that's all. there's nothing wrong with the translation.
the problem is what happened last CENTURY with the ecstatic "movement".
foreign languages/captivity under gentile people with foreign languages was
a SIGN, Judgment on Israel.
even in His anger, even in His sending them into captivity under people of strange lips and with a foreign tongue where the LORD will speak to
this people - JEWS (trying to teach them obedience and faith through separation and suffering) HE STILL sent them the prophets to tell the FAITHFUL that HE WOULD be true to HIS PROMISE -
A Cornerstone in Zion!
Here He is talking about them going into captivity - to BABYLON where through a people of strange lips and with a foreign tongue the LORD will speak to this people...HOW? as PUNISHMENT...
He would still sends prophets to them in captivity! under people of strange lips and with a foreign tongue - not burbling in unintelligible sounds!
gentile LANGUAGES (in this case the gentile Babylonians - who spoke a real, known language - unknown to the Hebrews, but KNOWN to God...like COME ON!)
just read this!:
Isaiah 28
Judgment on Ephraim and Jerusalem
1 Ah, the proud crown of the drunkards of Ephraim,
and the fading flower of its glorious beauty,
which is on the head of the rich valley of those overcome with wine!
2 Behold, the Lord has one who is mighty and strong;
like a storm of hail, a destroying tempest,
like a storm of mighty, overflowing waters,
he casts down to the earth with his hand.
3 The proud crown of the drunkards of Ephraim
will be trodden underfoot;
4 and the fading flower of its glorious beauty,
which is on the head of the rich valley,
will be like a first-ripe fig before the summer:
when someone sees it, he swallows it
as soon as it is in his hand.
5 In that day the LORD of hosts will be a crown of glory,a
and a diadem of beauty, to the remnant of his people,
6 and a spirit of justice to him who sits in judgment,
and strength to those who turn back the battle at the gate.
7 These also reel with wine
and stagger with strong drink;
the priest and the prophet reel with strong drink,
they are swallowed byb wine,
they stagger with strong drink,
they reel in vision,
they stumble in giving judgment.
8 For all tables are full of filthy vomit,
with no space left.
9 “To whom will he teach knowledge,
and to whom will he explain the message?
Those who are weaned from the milk,
those taken from the breast?
10 For it is precept upon precept, precept upon precept,
line upon line, line upon line,
here a little, there a little.”
11
For by people of strange lips
and with a foreign tongue
the LORD will speak to this people,
12
to whom he has said,
“This is rest;
give rest to the weary;
and this is repose”;
yet they would not hear.
13 And the word of the LORD will be to them
precept upon precept, precept upon precept,
line upon line, line upon line,
here a little, there a little,
that they may go, and fall backward,
and be broken, and snared, and taken.
A Cornerstone in Zion
14 Therefore hear the word of the LORD,
you scoffers,
who rule this people in Jerusalem!
15 Because you have said, “We have made a covenant with death,
and with Sheol we have an agreement,
when the overwhelming whip passes through
it will not come to us,
for we have made lies our refuge,
and in falsehood we have taken shelter”;
16 therefore thus says the Lord GOD,
“Behold, I am the one who has laidc as a foundation in Zion,
a stone, a tested stone,
a precious cornerstone, of a sure foundation:
‘Whoever believes will not be in haste.’
17 And I will make justice the line,
and righteousness the plumb line;
and hail will sweep away the refuge of lies,
and waters will overwhelm the shelter.”
18 Then your covenant with death will be annulled,
and your agreement with Sheol will not stand;
when the overwhelming scourge passes through,
you will be beaten down by it.
19 As often as it passes through it will take you;
for morning by morning it will pass through,
by day and by night;
and it will be sheer terror to understand the message.
20 For the bed is too short to stretch oneself on,
and the covering too narrow to wrap oneself in.
21 For the LORD will rise up as on Mount Perazim;
as in the Valley of Gibeon he will be roused;
to do his deed—strange is his deed!
and to work his work—alien is his work!
22 Now therefore do not scoff,
lest your bonds be made strong;
for I have heard a decree of destruction
from the Lord GOD of hosts against the whole land.
23 Give ear, and hear my voice;
give attention, and hear my speech.
24 Does he who plows for sowing plow continually?
Does he continually open and harrow his ground?
25 When he has leveled its surface,
does he not scatter dill, sow cumin,
and put in wheat in rows
and barley in its proper place,
and emmerd as the border?
26 For he is rightly instructed;
his God teaches him.
27 Dill is not threshed with a threshing sledge,
nor is a cart wheel rolled over cumin,
but dill is beaten out with a stick,
and cumin with a rod.
28 Does one crush grain for bread?
No, he does not thresh it forever;e
when he drives his cart wheel over it
with his horses, he does not crush it.
29 This also comes from the LORD of hosts;
he is wonderful in counsel
and excellent in wisdom.

1 Corinthians 14
20Brothers, do not be children in your thinking. Be infants in evil, but in your thinking be mature. 21
In the Law it is written, “By people of strange tongues and by the lips of foreigners will I speak to this people, and even then they will not listen to me, says the Lord.” 22
Thus tongues are a sign not for believers but for unbelievers, while prophecy is a signc not for unbelievers but for believers. 23If, therefore, the whole church comes together and all speak in tongues, and outsiders or unbelievers enter, will they not say that you are out of your minds? 24But if all prophesy, and an unbeliever or outsider enters, he is convicted by all, he is called to account by all, 25the secrets of his heart are disclosed, and so, falling on his face, he will worship God and declare that God is really among you.

Isaiah 28
A Cornerstone in Zion
14 Therefore hear the word of the LORD,
you scoffers,
who rule this people in Jerusalem!
.....
so
Daniel 9 comes to pass....they are released from CAPTIVITY (Babylon/Babel/Babble/Confusion), from captivity under people of strange tongues/foreigners...they return to JERUSALEM in time for what?
A Cornerstone in Zion - JESUS
And the Promise of the Spirit
Acts 2
The Coming of the Holy Spirit
1When the day of Pentecost arrived, they were all together in one place. 2And suddenly there came from heaven a sound like a mighty rushing wind, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting. 3And divided tongues as of fire appeared to them and resteda on each one of them. 4And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance.
5Now
there were dwelling in Jerusalem Jews, devout men from every nation under heaven. 6And at this sound the multitude came together, and they were bewildered, because each one was hearing them speak in his own language. 7And they were amazed and astonished, saying, “Are not all these who are speaking Galileans? 8And how is it that we hear, each of us in his own native language? 9Parthians and Medes and Elamites and residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, 10Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya belonging to Cyrene, and visitors from Rome, 11both Jews and proselytes, Cretans and Arabians—we hear them telling in our own tongues the mighty works of God.” 12And all were amazed and perplexed, saying to one another, “What does this mean?” 13
But others mocking said, “They are filled with new wine.”
Peter’s Sermon at Pentecost
14But Peter, standing with the eleven, lifted up his voice and addressed them: “Men of Judea and all who dwell in Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and give ear to my words. 15
For these people are not drunk, as you suppose, since it is only the third hour of the day.b 16
But this is what was uttered through the prophet Joel:
17 “‘And in the last days it shall be, God declares,
that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh,
and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,
and your young men shall see visions,
and your old men shall dream dreams;
18 even on my male servantsc and female servants
in those days I will pour out my Spirit, and they shall prophesy.
......
what did He pour out? The Spirit!
what was THE SIGN? gentile languages.
He spoke to that stiff-necked people in other tongues (gentiles languages) just like He said he would!
Acts 2
6And at this sound the multitude came together, and they were bewildered, because each one was hearing them speak in his own language. 7And they were amazed and astonished, saying, “Are not all these who are speaking Galileans? 8And how is it that
we hear, each of us in his own native language? 9Parthians and Medes and Elamites and residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, 10Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya belonging to Cyrene, and visitors from Rome, 11both Jews and proselytes, Cretans and Arabians—
we hear them telling in our own tongues the mighty works of God.”
so what happened?
some believed and some didn't.
JUST LIKE ALWAYS. some were MOCKERS - just like He said.
that's why the PARABLES.
can anyone who
speaks tongues today please tell me this is anything like the videos posted yesterday?
did God say ANYWHERE He would give some gift of NONSENSE???
some of these JEWS who heard the message FROM GOD with the SIGN of language
believed, and went BACK HOME TO THEIR GENTILE NATION LIVES:
we hear, each of us in his own native language[/COLOR][/B]? 9Parthians and Medes and Elamites and residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, 10Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya belonging to Cyrene, and visitors from Rome, 11both Jews and proselytes, Cretans and Arabians—
we hear them telling in our own tongues the mighty works of God
carrying with them the message - the mighty works of God.
the GOSPEL.
does that match what Paul was saying?
1 Corinthians 14:21 ¶In the law it is written, With * * other tongues and other lips will I speak unto this people; and yet for all that will they not hear me, saith the Lord.
