Funny how everyone virtually ignores this verse
Everyone but......no pride there./s
I would like every one of you to speak in tongues, but I would rather have you prophesy.
They don't cancel out each other nor does it say NOT to speak in tongues, if fact, it says the opposite. Nor does it say you MUST speak in tongues.
The one who prophesies is greater than the one who speaks in tongues, unless someone interprets, so that the church may be edified.
Exactly. You need an interpreter so the church can understand what was spoken in tongues and, therefore, be edified. So having someone speaking in tongues WITH an interpreter in a church setting and someone speaking prophesy to the church are the same - they both edify the church.
IMO, those with the gift of prophesy is better (as Paul states) for the church as they can do it SOLO.
INDEED.
AS I’ve always agreed.
Some folks would have blank posts if they didn’t post their relentless straw dog posts.
