Viral TikTok Of Christian Man Speaking In Tongues While Swinging A Sword Around Is All Kinds Of Bizarre

A TikTok video of some kind of service involving a man wildly swinging a sword as he and another man speak in tongues while being accompanied by a band has Twitter completely weirded out.

Twitter users were disturbed by a TikTok video of some kind of service involving a man wildly swinging a sword as he and another man speak in tongues while being accompanied by a band.

At one point, a person walks in front of the swordsman just as they thrust forward and then pull back, seemingly aware they almost impaled someone.


The entire time, the video is overlaid with text reading “Ephesians 6:10-12," Bible verses that urge Christians to "Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes" before adding:

"For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.”

You can see the video for yourself below.

Speaking in tongues is practiced in Pentecostal and charismatic Christianity and is mentioned in the Bible on several different occasions, particularly Mark 16:17, which records the instructions of Christ to the apostles, including his description that "they will speak with new tongues" as a sign that would follow "them that believe" in him.

The practice is part of the idea that those who are faithful can channel the Holy Spirit through their bodies, which could result in them speaking in different languages, or tongues, while in a trance-like state.

Those who haven't had much experience with this brand of Christianity would no doubt be put off seeing this in action.

And many Twitter users were indeed weirded out and mocked the video profusely.




As of this writing, the video has been viewed millions of times and been widely shared.

It attracted more attention on Twitter after being shared by the account "Christian Nightmares," which often tracks odd and often bizarre behavior across the Christian fundamentalist movement.

According to The Knot wedding resource magazine and website, smashing cake into the face of a spouse after tying the knot is a tradition tied to medieval England. To celebrate the marriage, the bride would toss a piece of piece of cake over her shoulder for good luck.

This evolved into newlyweds feeding a piece of cake to one another, then taking frosting or a small bit of cake and rubbing it gently onto each other's faces—usually the cheek or tip of the nose.

U.S. Army Vet Goes Viral With Blistering Speech Ripping Trump For Deploying Troops To L.A.

Trump has activated over 4,000 National Guard members and 700 Marines, despite opposition from city and state leaders. He has painted a bleak picture of Los Angeles—claims that Mayor Karen Bass and Governor Gavin Newsom say are wildly exaggerated.

She and her older sister, Malia, now 26, spent their formative years in the presidential residence, growing up there throughout their father’s two terms, until the family departed in 2017.

Trump Dragged After Hilariously Flubbing Insult About Biden's Mental Acuity

The term malaphor means when two or more colloquial phrases or idioms get confused and combined to create something nonsensical. According to the National Institute of Health (NIH), malaphors are a common symptom of frontotemporal dementia or other cognitive impairments.

So when a person seeks to accuse someone of being unintelligent, their use of malaphors is ironic and possibly very telling—narcissists will always accuse others of their own faults and failures.
