David Bauscher Peshitta Translation

[distazo]

We'll "the gift of angels" is something that I have never found stated as such in The Scriptures. "Tongues/Languages of Angels" are though. Perhaps that is what you meant. People interpret these things in various ways as you know, and it tends to divide the room pretty quick. In any respect, it is all talking about "spiritually gifted languages" not the ability to learn them with the mind...Bauscher even goes so far in his translation/interpretation, calling "interpretation of tongues", "translation of languages."

He's not here to discuss, but I agree. Also in Russian and other languages, tongue and language is the same word. By translating it to tongues, we get the phenomenon of some churches that have speaking in tongues as a proof. Nobody could understand or translate it!
But since it is about 'translatable tongues' it should be understood as languages, and this breaks centuries of traditions where it was translated as 'tongues' and Dave is not afraid of that <!-- s --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/smile.gif" alt="" title="Smile" /><!-- s -->
