So, now we know why ResidentAlien is in the Tongues Thread!

He rejects Christ and the Spirit of God!

And clearly the Gifts of the Holy Spirit.
You replied to my post before I had a chance to delete it. I deleted it quickly after I saw that Kavic had responded to your question about if he was a Satanist. No Satanic plot here.

I clicked on your name and it showed you blocked me. So, you go behind your block and now unblock me?

Not sure why you are Amazed!

Before anyone alerted me on this Thread concerning your Beliefs, the Holy Spirit, to which whom you are negating the Gifts of the Holy Spirit, informed me about YOU!

I even mentioned, well before being notified concerning You, that the Gift of Discernment from the Holy Spirit had already put into my spirit that YOU were not a Believer, but that You are here for YOUR OWN SELFISH PURPOSE.

And now, You admit that YOU, No, I am not "born again", no, I am not an Atheist, and no, I am not a Satanist.

Not being Born Again, means, YOU have Purposefully DENIED CHRIST!

So, by that REJECTION alone, YOU are equal to an ATHEIST/SATANIST!
Thanks for proofing my comment

Yeah I block people but sometimes unblock them. A little of you, for example, goes a long way. When I get tired of reading your nonsense I block you again; which I'm about to do right now.

I assumed that you would have an emotional reason for their use.
They do admittedly speak to my Celtic roots - though primarily Breton, and there are plenty of standing stones in Breizh, but not as cool as Callanish :)

My question would be whether you speak Breton which is still spoken in the north of the region as Gaelic is still spoken in the Hebrides? Both from the same root. I wondered about your comments to linguistics and asked myself if you were predicated from a bi lingual position. That neurological benefit is often an advantage when we first form our speech in infancy and may account for your interest in phonetic structures. At least that would be my supposition were you naturally bi lingual. I am still wondering what linguistics you are qualified in as a science of language. Can you tell us?

Ya, un tammig - but I can read it much better than I can speak it unfortunately. I'm more familiar with Gaelic and Welsh. English, Polish and French (Québécois) were the languages at home growing up.

My concentrations in Linguistics are mainly historical linguistics and phonology, but I'm also everyone's idea of a "linguist" in that I'm familiar with a number of languages both ancient and modern.

Kavik.

By chance, do you still follow the Druid ways, more specific, Celtic Myth?
And, do You believe in the Awen, the Celtic Tree of Life and Trinity?

I sensed the Polish connection in your name. My attachment to Poland stems from the city of Krakow where part of my Jewish ancestry on the maternal side came to bear down into Scotland many years ago.

I can see why you struggle with tongues and why you default to a position of trying to see a phonetic implication in a spoken gift that essentially by passes the neurological language structures of the brain. I can also see why you would be honest enough to acknowledge that you are not born again - you would essentially have to have been raised in a Roman Catholic (language) domain grounded in languages that are dated to a time when the reformation hadn't yet happened and where the expression of being born again was essentially redundant to a Christian belief culturally- even if your family were essentially agnostic in their personal beliefs.

I was in Church from being literally born as a babe and growing up. I was the type of child that Others excused my behavior because I was a [PK - Preachers Kid]. When I was old enough to leave my Parents home, I went crazy for the next 20 years. I got involved with Self-Defense and drew Power from becoming involved with the Celtic Myth, the Tree of Life, the Awen. The people I dealt with were every type of Rebellious Sinner one can imagine. My skills got me involved in collecting money from the types of people that even the police did not care if they lived or died. I met people with "Merry Meet," and honored the Mother, Green Man, and Others. I once had companions who to this very day attend the Church/Temple of Artimus.

I said all of that to say this, unless it is cultural thing, the majority of people I met during those years who referred to terms like Celtic, Gaelic, and such, were practicing Pagans.

Which is why, after reading your post with terms like Celtic/Gaelic I wondered if You were, or was, a Druid.

Ah French! I grew up in Nova Scotia where we have street names that are in Gaelic. Strong ties there to Scotland and use of the Gaelic language and the heritage. Of course French is also very strong in the area also. Though the British put them out of the province in the 1700s.

Nova Scotia has a very cool Scots Gaelic tradition! I have strong ancestral ties to 'Acadia' (as it was called before the English/Scots got there). Some of my ancestors were the among the first Governors of French Acadia. Mi'kmaq is also prevalent there, but not as much as in the past.

Yes, some very famous fiddlers from the area. Rich and very sad history with the Acadians. I grew up making trips to Grand Pre as a child. It's quite diverse from Scottish to French to Mi'kmaq. Each has a preserved history there. I live in the south now but I hope to take my husband home to visit "New Scotland", my home.

I am very familiar with Celtic beliefs and traditions. I even know a few modern Druids, but I'm not one of them. Being an amateur folk musician with a concentration on Celtic traditional music however, I can relate to the Awen as a 'bardic muse', though it's more of a Druid concept.

Thank You for that!
