Explanation: Ecstatic religious experiences in some religious communities are associated with transcendental states in which members of such religions receive spiritual experience. During a trance inspired by a spirit or spirits, they can speak different languages even though they had never learned those languages before and knew nothing about them. The explanation is that during religious trans experiences, some spirit-taught members began to speak languages. There is an example of this in the Bible, when, after the ascension of Christ to heaven, or more precisely in the fiftieth day after Christ's resurrection, the Holy Spirit descended on the apostles, and they began to speak different languages in order to preach Christ's teaching to different nations.
The main purpose of the many purges and public trials that took place in the Soviet Union in the 1930's was to ELIMINATE OPPOSITION TO JOSEPH STALIN AND HIS GOVERNMENT.
The purpose of parables in Jesus Christ's teaching was to focus the listener on God and his kingdom. These stories revealed the character of God: what he is like, how he works, and what he expects from his followers. Most scholars agree that there are at least 33 parables in the Gospels.
