(Part 9qt of 11)
Why?
Because your language does not make you a different group of people.
Genesis 11: The whole earth used the same language, the same words.... Then they said, “Come, let’s build ourselves a city with a tower that has its top reaching up into heaven....Adonai said, “Look, the people are united, they all have a single language....At this rate, nothing they set out to accomplish will be impossible....let’s go down and confuse their language, so that they won’t understand each other’s speech.” For this reason it is called Bavel/Babel [confusion] — because there Adonai confused the language of the whole earth, and from there Adonai scattered them all over the earth.
Now, what else do you have that makes you think you are a different group of people?
Your skin color has been disqualified in several different ways.
Your geographic location also disqualified.
Your genetics disqualified.
What's left is your logic.
Logic equals pride.
If any logic is inaccurate, in relation to the whole, then so also is your pride, in relation to things great and small.
Think about it another way. If your language is what makes you a different group of humans, a different race, a different ethnic group, a different culture, a different country, then by virtue of someone else learning that language, that person should become the same as you.
Your own logic makes this conclusion, if your logic tells you that your language is one of the things that makes you a different group of people.
In other words, your own language is confusing you and confusing to you.
Although the origin of languages, as stated in the Jewish-Christian bible, is incorrect, the Genesis story above is still useful to help prove the points made in this message to those whose worldview context is tied to the Jewish-Christian context.
So, I'll say again what has already been shown in multiple other messages: Asia is not the birthplace of human languages. Humans used different languages in Africa before there were ever any humans in Asia. Those humans knew Adonai.
