day 22: 1 Corinthians 14 "gifts of prophecy and tongues"

that just totally answered quite a few of my questions.

first off is the question of what exactly is speaking in tongues. well I'm told here that it is talking in another language, basically something not really understandable but amazing (shows God's glory)
I love how he puts it: to prophesise is for believers, for those of the church while speaking in tongues are for unbelievers and only helps believers if the person can interpret too.

then comes the question if my faith is already one where I can simply trust in God, why do I need to go to look for the answers to hard questions? I find the main point is that now you have this faith, you must help others in theirs "edify their faith".

then comes the question of how we are supposed o be like children so we can enter the kingdom of God. here we are told o be like insane with evil but think with maturity. we cannot think like children where they completely and only think about themselves, we must think about others and how we can help them.
