Apostle Paul wrote:
Nevertheless, in a congregation I would rather speak five words with my mind, that I might also instruct others orally, than ten thousand words in a tongue. 20 Brothers, do not become young children in powers of understanding, but be babes as to badness; yet become full-grown in powers of understanding.
1 Corinthians chapter 14
The gist of the story is that many Christians where rather filled with spirit, i.e. pleasant fuzzy feeling that used their own minds. This is exactly the same what is happening today among JWs.
I fact, I’d imagine that majority of first Christians were like that since Writer of Acts felt compelled to commend ones who didn’t follow such example.
Now the latter were more noble-minded than those in Thes•sa•lo•ni´ca, for they received the word with the greatest eagerness of mind, carefully examining the Scriptures daily as to whether these things were so. Act 17:11.
Your thoughts please.
