Punished for Babel?

[MindForgedManacle]

I actually read it, you nitwit, and it you spent 5 minutes picking up the damn book and looking, you'd read it, too.

Genesis 10:5 "By these were the isles of the Gentiles divided in their lands; every one after his tongue, after their families, in their nations."

Genesis 10:20 "These are the sons of Ham, after their families, after their tongues, in their countries, and in their nations."

Genesis 10:31 "These are the sons of Shem, after their families, after their tongues, in their lands, after their nations."

There is literally only one verse left in Genesis 10 after 10:31. And what does the very first verse of Genesis 11 say? "And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech."



What, did they just forget the other languages at that point, just in time for God to make them speak different languages again? Don't make me fucking laugh.

I've spent hours reading the Bible this week, read both the 10th and 11th chapters last night. As I explain the 10th chapter is a genealogical chapter covering hundreds of years of genealogy and chapter 11 covers over 500 years. You should study the time lines given, you take scripture as written one day after another and that is not how it was written.

STOP. Now listen. Do you realize that Mike made no claim that the supposed process to a single language was fast? Oh wait, you just assumed that he did so as to ignore what he said. Furthermore, do you actually think that 500 years is enough time - in an era where social diffusion and technology wasn't anything like today - to BOTH erase all but one language. Really?


You're making your case even more obviously stupid and reliant on no evidence.

The greatest laugh is on you for spouting off about something you know nothing about. How did you ever get through history classes with your disregard for time.

Indeed Godschild. You didn't realize how ironic what you said was. I'm sure @BadWriterSparty is getting a kick out of it though.
