After talking about speaking in tongues in class I became curious on what it was. I typed in to Google “speaking in tongues” I clicked on the first video I saw and was very surprised. It is very odd to see either one person speaking in a unknown language to a group or an entire church all doing so at the same time. People who were involved explained that it is a gift not all people have. And those who do not have it can not understand the power of it or even become close to the holy spirit. As I watched and examined how they spoke in tongues I began to realize what they all say is different. Also when they are deeply expressing there emotions though tongues each one is circling around similar phrases or sentences. They are saying and repeating themselves as if they cant think of anything else random to start saying next. The people involved say they sound different from one another because it is personal between them and god. I don’t know how I feel about speaking in tongues initially I found it extremely odd but I still do not understand what exactly it is or the goal and purpose.
Thought I should share some feeling about our discussion in class thanks for reading - Adam

Speaking in tongues/ Homosexuality and religion

As I mentioned in class about how my teacher in 8th grade prayed and started speaking in a weird language is exactly what happened in the video shared by Professor Estevez so I really did witness some one speaking in tongues before and in person it can be a very unnerving thing to see. Also as for the other video I Just never understand why certain religions and people take their book (the bible or the Qur'an etc...) so literal and use to excuse certain acts or say certain acts are bad (evil) and that those committing those acts should be punished. which brings me to my point of why I don't understand why some people in the LGBT community who are Christian continue to follow in their religious views even though supposedly those spiritual books say being gay is a sin and hated by they own churches....just something I was thinking about while watching the videos
