My friend had no idea she’d been speaking their language at all. She was just doing her usual of praying in tongues as she had ran out of things to pray in English.

What is the point of praying in a language you don't understand? What if what you are saying is offensive to God?

What's with the unreadable fonts? Please use a font normal people can read.

Some fonts are designed to help minimize those with irrational, unBiblical & obnoxious attitudes among my readers.

In terms of your question . . . Perhaps some enlightenment

MIGHT occur on reading I Cor 12-14.

In view of the Scriptures:

I Cor 12 KJV:

10To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues:

11But all these workes that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as He will.

I COR 14:
15What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with the understanding also: I will sing with the Spirit, and I will sing with the understanding also.

39Wherefore, brethren, covet to prophesy, and forbid not to speak with tongues.

1.Romans 8:26
Likewise the Spirit also helps our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.

2.Romans 8:27

And He that searches the hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because He makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God.

.

Soooooooo how is it that Holy Spirit praying the perfect prayer about what's in the heart and mind of the person concerned would offend God The Father or The Son?

PLEASE EXPLAIN to all of us how it is that

He {Holy Spirit} that searches the hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because he makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God.

Could possibly OFFEND GOD The Father, or God The Son?

Of course, Biblical wisdom and humility might just note that the question was absurd to begin with.

I hesitate to even answer, but I do so for the sake of those who want to learn:

1. The purpose is not for the individual to understand, but for the individual and those around to be edified.
2. If speaking in tongues is a gift of the Holy Spirit, how is that the Holy Spirit would cause anyone to say anything offensive to God???
