Biblically speaking

References sexuality.

Originally employed to describe words or phrases that morphed (from their common use as symbols representing sex acts) to become more diversely applicable.

The original common use of the terms can be found in older translations of the Bible; hence, the slang.
"know" employed sexually in the Bible: (Gen 4:1; Matt. 1:25)

Speaking in tongues

The spiritual equivalent of mathematical problem solving. How to pray when you don’t know what to pray.
