1 | Is God capable of sarcasm, are people 1? | Gen 3:22 | sonofmom | 223954 | ||
This verse in Gen 11:6 seems to be sarcasm, as God is using it to ridicule those who are constructing the Tower of Babel. Can the verse be applied to people today, as in God's people being one? I do not see much evidence of this. So the verse must be interpreted in context. In the prior chapter, Noah's sons are listed and they are divided, but in the first verse of ch 11 it says they were all of one language. So then in vs 8, when the Lord scatters them and they leave to go buid the city, is this the same city which is mentioned in vs 4? Is God even capable of sarcasm? It seems so, fo in Gen 3:22, God uses it to ridicule again, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil... Sorry so many questions, but they are all related to verse 6 |

Sonofmom, Absolutely God is capable of sarcasm. For just one example I refer you to Job chapter 38:18-21 "Have you understood the expanse of the earth? Tell Me, if you now all this. Where is the way to the dwelling of light? And darkness, where is its place, that you may take it to its territory and that you may discern the paths to its home? You know, for you were born then, and the number of your days is great!" Obviously what God means by this is that he was in fact NOT born then and the number of his days are NOT great. This is ofcourse God being sarcastic to make a point. In Christ, Beja |
