I don’t want to make it sound like I’m some kind of debate guru. I’ve gotten out of my depth before. For example, if someone is super fluent in the original languages I will usually concede that I’m more interested in reading their debate with someone on their level rather than ...
the Golden Calf and the Evil Spies delayed the crossing of the Hebrews, an identity that means those who have crossed over. It weeded out those of impure sexual habits, including idolatry, and those whose tongues had not been purified in the journey. What the Hebrews did retain after they ...
Krapf has given the name of Nigro-Hamitic Languages. These may perhaps have affinities with some of the other African tongues, but not with any of the great well-defined families of languages. For further information upon this subject, as well as upon the classification of the different Negro...

I understand better the things. There is nothing Pentecostal in terms of “speaking in the tongues”, or a disorder at services. On the contrary, there is peace and order. Perhaps there is some intensity of emotions in the air, with which a Westerner might not be comfortable with. But, ...
