I read your request, but I feel I must reply on the thread because I think you accidentally misstated something I wrote... I don't believe I said Three blessings, I believe I said Three part blessing...

"Not count things (And not offer a proper explanation)." ... if you are implying that I didn't offer a proper explanation, then I disagree.
I have explained it clearly to you here and by PM why you can't debate on this thread. I said if you diagree how this study is done, you either to PM me or you start another thread. This is your last warning, my friend. If you continue to disobey the thread rules and or if send send a post that disrupts this thread, I will contact the moderator.

1. Please, no counting things (Like mentioning how God made a three part blessing).
2. No debating about this issue here.

This is your last warning, my friend.

In other words, when you say you disagree and you reply here within this thread, you are starting a debate and you are disrupting this Study Thread. You don't have to understand it or agree with it. But you do have to respect the thread rules.

Also, sending me "likes" on my New Thread Rule and then debating about it later doesn't make any sense. If you reply to these posts and or if you continue to count things (Where a number is not mentioned in the text), I will contact the moderator and let him know that if you continue to disrupt this thread or if you continue to count things (Where numbers are not shown in the Bible) after disobeying this post, I will ask the Moderator to ban you (if you post here again after another infraction). In other words, you would need to disobey two more times. Once, for me to contact the moderator. Two, you post within this thread after me warning the moderator for your disruptive behavior.

Anyways, I say this in love and with the hope you respect how I am doing this Study Thread. You don't have to understand it. You just have to obey how I am doing this Study.

To put it to you another way.

The 1st infraction will not ban you but will only prevent you from posting within this thread.

The 2nd infraction is posting within the thread for any reason (Which I will then ask the moderator to ban you) for continually disrupting a Study Thread.

Dear Dan:

Also, please do not reply to the above posts (So as to debate) or talk about how you disagree how this Study Thread should be done (When I created it with certain rules to follow). That would be grounds for me to ask the Moderator to prevent you from posting within this thread. We are here to comment on the text. Not count things and not to debate things.

I said earlier within this thread if a person disagrees with a comment I have, they can post 1 or 2 sentences why they disagree and then provide a link to another thread. They can do that or they can even PM me. This is not a debate thread, but a Study Thread. Please do not continue to disrupt this thread, my friend.

"they have all one language; ... Go to, let us go down, and confound their language."

Like there was one language, God chose one nation (Israel). However, Israel rejected their Messiah (Jesus), like those who had rejected God at the Tower of Babel. So God opened the door to the Gentiles (i.e. who were a people of many different tongues or languages).
The Gentiles would have been offered the Gospel regardless of Israel's decision to either accept or reject Christ. The original plan, which is on-going, involves all nations accepting Christ. The Jews were naturally the first to be offered the choice, but their actions didn't affect God's intention to reveal his divine truths to all peoples.

I agree, but that is not how Biblical History played out, though. God knew they would reject Christ as their Messiah when He came. So seeing God knew this (Because God knows all things at all points in time), He obviously wrote things within His Word that would hint at and or predict how His people would reject Him, whereby then the gospel would be sent out to those who were not circumcised (i.e. the Gentiles). Anyways, if you disagree, please provide 1 or 2 sentences why you disagree and then provide a link to another thread and or PM me about it. I am striving to keep this as a Study Thread and not a debate thread, my friend.

Anyways, peace be unto you.
And may God bless you greatly today.
And thank you for your comment.

Noah's Story Chapter 1 (The Flood):
(While we discussed how I do not completely agree with the lyrics of this song within this thread; I still find it to be a nice sounding song, even though it is not Biblically accurate):

NOAH - Aaron Spiro | The Story

I tried to read the rules but my ADD and OCD plus being a Blond has me confused on all the rules. I like the Bible Stories though and believe that Blonds were created on the 6th day but then you said something about not talking about numbers and that confused me more.

I know that in the beginning was the word and the word was with God and the word was God. So sorry if I have caused confusion but all your rules confused me. I will leave now as I really don't want to cause any problems but just to let you know that all the rules confused me.

I like the Tower of Babel story as it is interesting to me how they all spoke the same language and because they thought they could build a tower up into heaven to get away from another flood that God came down and confused their language and they had to separate into groups of people they understood and then left the building...... That would have been an interesting thing to witness first hand. But I would have wanted to be on God's side and not one thrown into confusion.

Yes, I just recently read about how Josephus's comment on how the Tower was built so as to avoid another flood. While this may be true, I have no way of confirming or denying this as fact. I can only rely upon what God's Word says is true. So I believe that while such a thing is possible, I believe God's Word that says that they built the Tower to reach the tops of the Heavens so as to make a name for themsleves.

As for your other point: I find it interesting. Thank you for bringing it up. Were there men that were in favor with God at this time? If so, then why didn't they spread accross the globe? Why were they building at the Tower (Against God's will)? While there might have been a Daniel admist the corruption, we just do not know for sure. But I know how you feel, though. I would want to be on God's side during this time, too.

Anyways, this brings up another point. I believe the one world language no longer existed anymore and that the one language was confounded (confused) into many different languages. Perhaps this one world language will be spoken again.

Perhaps this one language was English at the time the language was confused. It seems to me that as a whole the world was against God and was advancing rapidly in knowledge, and with advanced knowledge would find the means to kill each other rapidly and thus upsetting the time table of God. In the bible it is clear that in the end times knowledge will be greatly increased and people will be traveling to and fro. The world is at this stage now just as before and the time is now.

Not sure if you are being sarcastic or serious, but I really don't see that as a possibility. We would have found some evidence of English in ancient Biblical times. Plus, it seems highly unlikely. It wasn't so much the language that God had a problem with, it was man's attitude and lack of concern for the things of God.

Anyways, if you disagree, please provide 1 or 2 sentences why you disagree and a link to a thread to debate such a topic.

Sorry, for the double post. Internet reception here is strange.
