Can ChatGPT interpret speaking in tongues?

The experience of the Orthodox is that it does, at least in the context of our churches, and I think also within Roman Catholicism and other liturgical churches.

In those churches which deny the doctrine of the Real Presence, I would not be comfortable speculating about what happens with their Eucharist, but I do know I would not partake of their Eucharist. I am only comfortable with the Eucharist of the traditional liturgical churches.

So, as my original post that started this discussion with you, Covid 19 happened to many Christians of all churches, despite many of them having this belief that they could rely on that psalm as a form of protection from it.

Some Christians will use psalms 91 for that. So the question is whether that promise applies to the body of Christ today.

God is eternal, He does not Change, the Son, eternally begotten, as is the Holy Spirit who hovered over the waters at creation; they do not change, why would the promise have changed?

Missed the point again; this is not a talisman that imparts a magical shield, regardless of what happens to us, Covid or not, by faith we are under His care. God promises that there will be suffering, our Lord prepared His followers to suffer bodily in this world. Scripture does assure us that through faith, we will reap the spiritual grace that He promises, and that the means of grace will not harm the faithful. He does also warn that receiving in an unworthy manner, all bets are off regarding both spiritual and physical well being.

Are you saying you can claim any promise God made to anyone in scripture?

Simple example, is Matthew 19:28 a promise for YOU to claim?

That means your good friend The Liturgist missed your point as well

No, it doesn’t, my point is the same as Mark’s, albeit expressed using Orthodox terminology rather than Lutheran terminology, but this is mainly a difference in terminology (the only actual difference between Orthodoxy and Confessional Lutheranism appears to concern monergism, but even this issue requires more study, and unfortunately the Orthodox aren’t engaging in ecumenical dialogue with the LCMS but instead are talking to the WLF people - we just persuaded them to drop the filioque, which is good, I guess, except we can never enter into communion with the ELCA or the liberal European churches as long as they perform homosexual marriages and ordain people in such relations, and also among the Orthodox saints there were several like St. Maximos the Confessor who were not greatly troubled by the Filioque.

Reductio ad absurdum and strawman argument, both logical fallaciss.

Another Scriptural truism is that those who have ears will hear.
