Dear Brother Zaphod,
Thank you for your response,
I will start where you do;
{You have once again convieniently misquoted; Ge 11:1 And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech...Not SOME as you say}
I kindly thank you for pointing out my error, I questioned myself after posting "some", instead of "all", it was and is more accurate to say "All spoke one language" until God cursed them for disobeying.
{Seems odd that God decided that we should speak different languages and then (as you believe) want us to do the opposite and speak one language again.}
It was not a "decision" brother Zaphod, it was a "curse" for their sin. God would like us to reunite and speak one language again but this is our free choice to follow the right path or remain defiant, and reject God's gift of Forgiving with the Koran, our light to the eternal bliss.
{The meaning is the same. Does God only understand Arabic? I think not.}
God, brother Zaphod, Knows and understands All, the message of Islam is Peace and what other way to have peace than to have everyone speaking one language, Is there a better way to unite almost 1.5 billion people than to have them speak one language, understanding, expressing love, and sharing, and best of all, bowing to our Creator, reciting in unison.
{In my experience as an ex-Muslim there are in fact slightly different dialects of the prayer rights, which for all intents and purposes amount to a different language or at least a variation.}
Brother Zaphod, a word of advice is that you are only decieving yourself by claiming to have been a Muslim, you have proven in your Previos posts that you were not a Muslim
: "For then will I turn to the people a pure language, that they may all call upon the name of the Lord, to serve him with one consent." {Zephaniah 3:9}
{You have taken this verse out of context to support your argument. The verse also does not say 'I will turn to the people WITH a pure language' It says 'I will turn to the people A pure language.}
This is my point brother Zaphod, we would not be "arguing" if the Bible was only accepted in "One" Language like the Koran is. The Bible is accepted in many different languages to be the word of God and that is why we have tensions.
I did not misquote as you "argue", I got my quote word for word from the K.J.V. Bible, which is accepted by Christians as the word of God. Click Here Your argument would not have taken place if the Bible is only accepted in "one" language.
Unfortuneately, because the Bible is accepted in many languages as the word of God, words get lost in the "translations". This causes confusion on which is right and the result is that Sunday at 10:am is the Most Segragated Hour of the Week.
There are over 2,000 different types of Christians, etc..
Give Peace a Chance.
Peace and Blessings,
Your Brother in Islam: Mohamed
