Nice? What means nice? I can't even find that word in the Bible.... Is that some sort of pagan thing?

Don't think Jesus came to make people nice. He came not to bring peace, but the sword.
BTW, Medieval Christians believed the angels spoke Latin, and what's really odd is we get the word "nice" from the Latin word "nescius" meaning ignorant. Have we come full circle yet?

Please be careful. Not all medieval CHristians believed this kind of thing.

Get rid of all bitterness, rage, anger, harsh words, and slander, as well as all types of malicious behavior. Instead, be kind to each other, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God through Christ has forgiven you.

***Ephesians 4:29 - 5:4 29 Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear. 30 And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. 31 Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice. 32 Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you. 5:1 Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children. 2 And walk in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God. 3 But sexual immorality and all impurity or covetousness must not even be named among you, as is proper among saints. 4 Let there be no filthiness nor foolish talk nor crude joking, which are out of place, but instead let there be thanksgiving.

Kathleen,
You asked if I believe in tongues and my reply is yes. But not in the sense that is wrongly preached today. Which is some type of un-understandable speech. I do believe that the gift of toungues is the gift to speak another earthly language.
You as well as others have quoted the same scripture yet each time when given support of the false gift of tongues, provided through looking at the Greek text in which the scripture was written, you guys just keep referring to the scripture without explaination.
One can refer to my first post that I titled TONGUES (not the post that started the thread):
To go one step further into why Paul may have used the two words tongue and tongues . Paul would use the word tongue to express the false ecstatic babble because the babble is just that, babble. It has no distinctions, or in other words one cannot classify one persons babble different from anothers. Thus Paul would classify this false speaking as one: tongue . On the other hand the plural word tongues would be used to express the many and variying earthly languages. This is true, for such languages such as Latin, French or Spanish may be similar, but each language has its own distinctions. Thus each one must be catagorized seperately. Therefore Paul uses tongues when speaking of the TRUE gift of tongues which is speaking in another earthly language.
Jesaiah
