Bible Question: I'm sure by now every can tell that I'm a new convert. Here's my question. I know what modern history says. But biblically speaking at the tower of babel when the Lord confounded did he also change the people's appearance? Example the Swahili language where they changed to Africans and so on. Please forgive my ignorance, but I'm just curious about the Gospel. |
Bible Answer: Greetings jbw There are no ignorant questions just ignorant answers and this is one of those ignorant answers. By the way, never stop asking questions. Genesis 2:7 And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, . . . [KJV] I heard a preacher once say he couldn't understand why we fight among the races. After all we all have the same mother . . . DIRT. There are five kinds of dirt. Black dirt, yellow dirt, white dirt, brown dirt, and red dirt and five races. Seriously the bible doesn't address these kinds of wonders directly. And actually, I have pondered the same kinds of questions. For instance, did the last Adam look like the first Adam? In the scope of things what matters is our belief that what God says in His word is truth. How is our heart towards God? Do we have a pride issue? Is there anything I love more than Jesus? These are the questions that change lives. Although I still wonder why I take more bags of garbage out to the curb than bags of groceries in from the car. Does anyone know? |
