Admin	1st Corinthians 13:1 Posted : 29 Jul, 2011 12:01 PM Hello everyone: What might this particular Scripture say. Is the tongues of ANGELS actually ANGELS, Or could this be the tongue(s)of a MESSENGER. 1Co 13:1 If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but I do not have love, I have become as sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. If a messenger,what is the message,and is a TONGUE necessary to proclaim the message. Shalom Mouth of GOD Post Reply

And how anything done without love will be unpleasant or corrupted. See this clearly reading a;; of it and how it concludes with: "13 And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love." 1 Cor 13 NIV (biblegateway.com's default version) Post Reply

This is one of the Scriptures which certain groups use to say; See,look here in 1st Corinthians 13:1,the 'TONGUES' of men and 'ANGELS'. See this proves that the language we speak when we meet is a heanevly language. Mouth of GOD Post Reply

It is not talking freely, nor finely, nor learnedly, of the things of God, that will save ourselves, or profit others, if we are destitute of holy love. It is the charitable heart, not the voluble tongue, that is acceptable with God. The apostle specifies first this gift because hereupon the Corinthians seemed chiefly to value themselves and despise their brethren. Post Reply
