    can you speak in tongues out loud or in your mind, at the same time as having a conversation with someone, in the mind or outloud? personally i cannot, i can't even imagine being able to do that.

    Can ChatGPT interpret speaking in tongues?

    sure, but that's also a no true scotsman argument. Lets break down the possibilities: The woman i spoke of has a demon speaking through her, and the decon/elder was correct. Why then did he not cast it out of her? or follow up privately later to say hello... you're confused. stop letting this...

    Can ChatGPT interpret speaking in tongues?

    Paul seems to have plenty of verses that suggest both are legitamate, and i'm supprised to see how many here disagree with Paul when he plainly differentiates between those who speak in tongues for the edification of the church (but that can only happen with an interpreter) and those who pray in...

    Hey!

    It has never failed me on the internet or in local churches, (except with anyone over the age of 50) that the moment i mention satan in a particular experience, someone will speak loudly: "how do you know it was satan?" "the satan" is anything dark and scary that accuses you. -- your child saw...

    Hey!

    i did. and at age 7 i was made aware there was a generational curse on my grandparents family. when i finally prayed about it 18 years later, my dad's personality improved to the point it made living with him tolerable.

    Gaza: In the face of horror, we cannot look away.

    they say in war, the first casualty is the truth. if you have not been there, why believe anything you hear? has not 50,000:1000 been enough of an over reaction? so you say it wasn't 50,000. what if it was 10,000. surely it must have been 10,000 80% of the buildings are gone... israel? had...
