My dad's running on the treadmill outside of my room right now and he's just yelling in tongues and it's annoying and creepy.

      Lmao. It's just really weird seeing people in their 50s and 60s speaking gibberish and claiming it's a divine language that only God and angels can understand. It's literally just gibberish, it doesn't make up a coherent language structure.

        Every time I hear it I just think it's a racist imitation of whatever language they think of when they hear the word "Asian".

          They are jealous of jewish people because they know hebrew which is the language of the OG scriptures (¿right?). So instead of learning it, they made up this shit which is totally childish

            I mean if you wanted to read the OG jesus books you'd need to learn some form of old Greek. Hebrew is only for Old Testament I think

                  I thought a key part of jewish "rituals" was learning to read the scriptures.

                      No, but Jesus was Jewish which meant he would’ve been literate in at least Hebrew, but also Aramaic and most likely passable Latin. I think the poster above you meant that Jesus was literate in Hebrew due to Jewish rituals, not that Jesus is part of Jewish rituals now.

                    Sure, they were prob literate but they didn't write any christian scripture themselves is what i mean

                      Or maybe they did, but those gospels "didn't survive" the official redaction of the NewTestament™ in 450 BC.

          That's a good take, lol. I think the biblical origin of tongues had the apostles break out into speaking in existing languages they didn't previously know. But when modern speaking in tongues started around 1900, it was just converted to babbling the language of angels or something.
