I'm having a hard time understanding what prophecy & tounges means in I Corinthians 14 (Leviticus, Sodom)

Spirits are really shy, they don't want you to know they are there but if you truly did know they were there and they knew you knew and there was nothing they could do to convince you otherwise, well then you can have a conversation with them after that, ya see lol. Guess everyone knows that.

You go into a very still place with no wind, you light some incense or maybe a cigar or even a cigarette, and you give it a sec to see if it will be cute, if not, you ask a question and he either knows you know him or not. If you do not, then he will not answer you. If he knows for sure that you know, then he is already terrified and he is like a snake in your hand that must answer everything told to him. He could be a living and breathing 3 d animal smiling at you, and maybe one day you will fall into somebody yourself, and as a dolphin jumps from the water, you can jump from a cloud of smoke with a big smile.
That prophet that went and brought up Samuel, it was the smoke ya see, the smoke is the Meridian between God and man and no man may get to God other than that smoke which is lifted up as prayers and if the priest should ask a question, the answer would be in the smoke because he knew somebody was there.
You seem to believe you can discern people's relationship's with God. Umm...no. FYI: I KNOW God is good. I don't need to "taste of the Lord". Been there. Done that. Have the souvenir t-shirt.
I have no trouble sharing my beliefs with people. I've lost track of how many times people say something like, "The world would be a better place if there were more Christians like you." (Which usually embarrasses me, for a variety of reasons, but it is what it is.) They say that not because of what I believe but because of how I conduct my life. Which is to follow Jesus....not a book or a cult or a guru or a decoded Bible. Feed people. Help the poor. Visit the sick. Hold a door for a little old lady. Don't honk at people when their driving annoys you. Buy a cup of coffee for the homeless guy who sleeps on the bus bench.
What I don't do is tell people, "You simply must try my beliefs. They are the bestest ever and superior to whatever it is you believe." And I don't tell them "believe what I believe or the devil will have you." That's nothing but religious blackmail and fear mongering.

Now see, I opened my heart to you and what did you do? Slam me all the more. So much for your agape love. His love would have recognized a pure motive. And you seem to be able to discern who does good works and who does not. What makes you think I haven't done all of those things you listed? Peace
I have plenty of abilities but Rbbi1 only thinks they can expose me, it's like saying a person is an alien but the alien looks like a human and so nobody sees it, nor could they unless of course the alien wanted to play.
Wrong. The way to expose him is to discriminate for him and only do things out of the Spirit of agape love for everyone involved. The Serpent has NO ability to discriminate between good and evil responses to our drives and urges. We must do it for him.
Wrong. Man has no idea apart from the Spirit of G-d, how to do anything of lasting spiritual value. And the lawless one, hates the law, not people professing agape love apart from His Spirit manifesting it. Peace

She didn't say you hadn't.
However, whether she was speaking of you in this part:

Uh, oh. I've apparently flunked the "Has God's Love" test. Oh, well. I also flunked the math portion of my SAT's in a rather spectacular fashion yet managed to graduate from college with more than one degree and membership in a rather snooty academic fraternity.
That's today's parable. You're welcome!
