LIGHTNING:

I would like to think we are the Church, not Babylon. :) Surely it hasn’t gotten THAT bad in here. ;) And surely we seek to be conformed to the image of Christ for His purposes and not to become gods ourselves. If not, Houston…we have a serious problem here. :)

Sooo..I think I’m still gonna hafta take the Lord’s Word on the matter…that all things means ALL things. Especially when I know that:

1. Parents love it when their kids try to get along; and
2. God has ways of helping us understand one another even if it means He has to teach us to speak to one another in a whole new way :)

EXAMPLE:

ACTS 2:

1 When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place. 2 Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting. 3 They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them. 4 All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues[a] as the Spirit enabled them.
5 Now there were staying in Jerusalem God-fearing Jews from every nation under heaven. 6 When they heard this sound, a crowd came together in bewilderment, because each one heard their own language being spoken. 7 Utterly amazed, they asked: “Aren’t all these who are speaking Galileans? 8 Then how is it that each of us hears them in our native language? 9 Parthians, Medes and Elamites; residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia,[b] 10 Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya near Cyrene; visitors from Rome 11 (both Jews and converts to Judaism); Cretans and Arabs—we hear them declaring the wonders of God in our own tongues!”


I <3 the negatives that have been turned to positives in this thread :)

Guess I should have explained better. I wasn't comparing you to Babylon. But explaining WHY language is the way it is. God chose to make language confusing. You can pray until you're blue in the face, but if it's not God's plan to fix language yet, it won't do much good.

That said, you're welcome to go with the Lord's Word, but singling out a verse is not the way to go about it. I'm leaving this short because it's vastly off topic; if you wish to discuss further we can start a new thread or exchange PMs.
 
I really don't have anything else to say about it either :) God bless!
