Mark 8 24 This is not Jesus comparing men to trees. This is a blind man whom Jesus healed of blindness and after his eyes were opened and he could see he then described what he saw and made a comparison to that he knew that trees were tall and men were tall. To sum up 1 Corinthians Paul was teaching about two different aspects of tongues. Paul not only spoke with the tongues of angels but of the tongues of men. He spoke many known languages of that time. He also was filled with the Holy Ghost, 1 Corinthians 13 1. However, if you continue to read Paul still admonished them to not forbid the speaking in other tongues as the spirit of God give utterance. 1 Corinthians 14 39 Wherefore, brethren, covet to prophesy, and forbid not to speak with tongues . This prophesy is found in Isaiah 28 11 For with stammering lips and another tongue will he speak to this people . In regarding Jeremiah 10 3 thru 5, this is letting the house of Israel know not to learn the heathen ways which were superstition. The making of decorated tree was vain and of idol worship.
