A far-right Arizona state senator led a prayer circle speaking in tongues on the chamber floor Monday, a day before the state Supreme Court upheld a Civil War-era law banning nearly all abortions.

Great. So we look like a bunch of kooks.
Was he swinging a dead cat over his head?
In tongues? That ain’t right. Makes all of us look squirrely. [SMH]
I’ve always seen people supposedly with the “gift of tongues” to be somewhat silly. If it was truly a gift the babbling would equate to some language from somewhere that somebody understood. Like in the book of Acts.

babadee babadee boo isn’t tongues. Tongues is a known language and these idiots that babble riki tiki tavi around the churches and in public arenas have no idea what Christianity really is.
Yes there is speaking in tongues but it’s for someone who is nearby that can understand it in their language...
A rabbi heard it one day and asked what kind of trick they were playing. They said, “what do you mean?” The Rabbi said that the boy behind him was speaking Hebrew and it shook him.
Hebrew is a language, not boobidee rackity roo roo Kenneth Copeland boogie woogie...
They need every election to be about abortion, so the GOP flaunts divine stupidity whenever the Democrats want it, aka Lindsay Graham. They cheat here anyway, but it gives them a story line for the election comic book.
Having seen it, I always thought “speaking in tongues” was sort of silly, and possibly dangerous.
But I wrap tefillin, prayer-boxes, and I can see how that might seem silly to some.
The older I get the more I realize that we all have our ways of trying to commune with the Almighty.
Yep, just Rabbis hangin’ out in charismatic Christian services where boys magically learn Hebrew. It shakes ‘em!
That’s the point.
Undermining AZ’ GOP is the latest MO.
Otherwise this would not be here.
My understanding of the gift in tongues is that its purpose is to either communicate with an audience of a foreign language or to translate somebody who speaks a foreign tongue. When you go to your closet to speak your secret language, it’s your mother tongue which you may not normally use because nobody in your area speaks it.
No one is supposed to pray in tongues unless there is someone to interpret.
Also, the only tongues Acts showed were ever used were legitimate languages.
People speaking in babble are not following Christ.
“She stole-a my Honda...”
They were actually just imitating Kamala Harris
As we conclude, we must emphasize this fact. The Scriptures teach that the gift of tongues was to cease with the completion of the New Testament canon (1 Cor. 13:8ff).
As W. E. Vine wrote: “With the completion of Apostolic testimony and the completion of the Scriptures of truth (‘the faith once for all delivered to the saints,’ Jude 3, RV), ‘that which is perfect’ had come, and the temporary gifts were done away” (1951, 184).
Yep.if he WAS speaking in Hebrew it is not shown by the oh so calculated far away shot of the HuffPost which is wanting to make Az Republicans look like a bunch of fundamentalists.
They’re getting the ‘Falwell’ treatment. The ‘Anita Bryant’ treatment. That playbook of. There’s is well known.
LOL !
Either her, or Biden.
Biden and the Democrats are salivating about putting this guy in campaign ads nationwide.
They have no idea what praying in tongues means. it’s not gibberish.
