Imagine this: A young man, untaught in things of decoration, becomes apprentice to a master decorator. One day the Master tells him to get a tin of red paint and to paint a wall in a house. Later, the Master enters the room to find it painted blue! “What on earth have you done? Your mistake will cost me money and time!” The apprentice looks hurt and says “But, I looked at all the tins of red and saw this one saying ‘blue’. I preferred it and thought I could just rename it ‘red’.” Do you think his excuse made sense? Of course not! He saw the word ‘red’ on the tins, but deliberately chose a totally different colour and applied the wrong name to it. And this is exactly what happened with the word ‘tongues’! I will not pull back on saying that those who think ‘tongues’ can mean an ‘angelic’ or ‘heavenly’ language known only to God, must be not just untaught but rather superficial. Surely this is very arrogant of me? Surely it is very harsh? Well, you tell me... ‘Tongues’ ...
