Do all Hebrew/Jewish guys have long tongues?

It's Gene Simmons, not Simpson.  And most Jewish guys can only wish they had a tongue like Gene Simmons'.

Yes, but you need to get into the Hebrew.\n\nhttp://www.jewfaq.org/alephbet.htm

It is the same.\n\nSpeaking in tongues was just one of the gifts of the Holy Spirit. But bare in mind that when they spoke in tongues everyone heard it in their own language since it was the day of Pentecost and you had Jews from other countries who spoke different tongues. It is not the false speaking in tongues being practiced in some Church's' today.\n\nThere are only three actual examples of speaking in tongues recorded in the Bible (Acts chapters 2, 10, and 19). If we look at these three cases, we should find a clearer picture of this controversial gift. \n\n"When the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. And there appeared unto them cloven [divided] tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance." Acts 2:1-4.  \n\n \nFire is a symbol for power. God sent this gift in the form of tongues of fire so they would know that He would empower their feeble tongues in the same way He strengthened Moses to go before Pharaoh (Exodus 4:10-12) and touched Isaiah's lips with a coal from the heavenly altar (Isaiah 6:6, 7).

Like any structure in an organism, tongues evolved over time through small changes (mutations) which placed each successive individual at a slight advantage within the species.  That individual had some advantage, probably longevity, which allowed for greater success in reproduction.  This allowed the mutation to be passed on to future generations.  The tongue as we know it today, is the result of accumulations of countless mutations over a long period of time.\n\nIn terms of what they might look like in a million years - who knows?  It is pure speculation - can you think of a new 'model' of the tongue that would place an individual at an advantage over other members of the species and allow them to be more successful in terms of reproduction/survival etc..?

I am one of those people! Sorry; it's such a habit that I'm not aware of it.\nIn Judaism, G-d's Name is so sacred & holy that it is never written out. We don't even say His Name. The terms you may hear others use such as YHVH or Jehovah are highly offensive & never used because they are inaccurate.\nWhen Jewish people pray, we use the term "Ha Shem" which literally means "The Name". We may also use the term "Adonai" which means "L-rd".\nHope this helps!\nAnd, it's wrong for me to write the word "Adonai". For me to write it like Jews do, it needs to be missing a vowel, but you'd then ask what THAT means!!!!!!!!!!! It should say "Ad-nai".

They are downright weird. The number of Jews who would actually agree with the JTF on everything could probably be counted on one hand. The JTF calls some people "race tratiors" they sound more like neo-nazis! If it were not for the fact that I know these guys are Jewish I would suspect it was someone's idea of a joke.

Hebrew and Aramaic.\nThe two share the same alphabet.\nAramaic was the spoken language, and Hebrew was the language of scholarship and learning.

Yes he does indeed have a lisp, at least when he sings. It's kind of a cute lisp, maybe it'll go away once he hits puberty.

I would say yes.  According to Genisis, he spoke to Eve in the form aof a serpent.  So maybe not a lisp exactly but more of a hhhiiiiisssssssssssp.

I hope no-one takes offence to your question. It is a valid one and you clearly state this as a generalisation and obviously understand that there is a huge variation in jewish appearance, but yes, there is some characturistics that are considered 'jewish'.\n\nI think it is as someone has already said, there is a geographical orrigination and historically jews have not married out of religion, although this is of course a generalisation in its self. So the gene pool has largely remained intact. Obviousy the genes for those characturistics have been carried through the generations and not been widely circulated among other religious backgrounds. Although again I stress those characturistics are not exclusively jewish and intermarriage has scattered them about into other cultures too.\n\nPerhaps even, many of those characturistic genes are recessive, and therefore generally appear in the more pure jewish families than the ones of more mixed race. \n\nBut I do dissagree with about the 'christian' look. I'm sure out of a line up of jews, christians, muslims, hindus, buddists and many other religions, that someone could pick out a christian. Generally speaking of course. I'm sure we could also find many traditianaly jewish or traditionally muslim looking people and actually find that thay are infact christian or buddist.

Jehovah's Witnesses understand "speaking in tongues" to refer to actual preaching in an actual literal foreign language, allowing foreigners to learn God's Word and Jesus' teachings.\n\nThe Scriptures indicate that when the bible writing was complete, such miraculous gifts would cease:\n\n(1 Corinthians 13:8-10) But whether there are gifts of prophesying, they will be done away with; whether there are tongues, they will cease... For we have partial knowledge and we prophesy partially; but when that which is complete arrives, that which is partial will be done away with.

They are under the delusion that they are "filled with the Holy Spirit" when they are merely filled with emotion, and they think they are speaking with a language of the angels.  But linguists have studied glossolalia, and find NO syntax at all.  It's just nonsensical babbling.  It represents the regression to a pre-verbal mentality.

ADDED: Oh you are talking about the Name of Gd? There are quite a few names for Gd in the TaNaCH, there is the unpronounceable y-h-v-h, there is the pronounced 'adonai' which means 'my master' or my lord, as in lords and ladies of England, there are the derivitives of El, (meaning 'power' because Gd is the Ultimate Power) like Elohim, El, Eloah, and the constructs like El Elyon, El shaddai. Shaddai, and El Shaddai are derived from the idea that other religions have to have more than one as their godhead, or as godS, but our Gd is El SHaddai, meaning 'Gd Who Is Enough.'\n\nPlease see http://www.jewfaq.org/name.htm for the best, and most accurate, explanation there is on this topic!\n----\nBy 'the Jewish word' do you mean Hebrew or do you mean Yiddish, or do you mean Ladino, or do you mean any of the other languages created by the Jewish People?? As the Jews were kicked out of one Christian country to another, the first thing they did was to learn the local language. However, they wrote it in the language they knew, which was with Hebrew letters. Yiddish is a dialect of German, Ladino is a dialect of Spanish, and on and on. So, i am not sure which language you are referring to by "Jewish" word??\n\nIf you mean Hebrew, it is go-el. i do not know Yiddish or Ladino, so if it is in one of these two languages, i am sorry i cant help.

I haven't seen any that would use the word "equate" as you have.\n\nHowever, just to expand your horizons, realize that the Hebrew language would make some of those same connections.\n\nFor example, the Ruach haQodesh ("Holy Spirit") - "Ruach" is Hebrew for "wind".  Obviously this is carried out in Japanese as well where "Kamakazee" means "divine wind".  "Ruach" is also used as "breath of life".  Of the 378 times the word Ruach occurs in Tanakh, it is translated as "spirit" 232 times.\n\nOr when G-d breathed into man's nostrils the "breath of life" - the "Noshoma Chayah" the word "Noshoma" is also used to refer to man's "spirit".\n\nSo the connection of 'air' to G-d has been there from the beginning - way before there were any Christians.
