THE GOD & LANGUAGES


 The pantheistic and theist groups claim a godly language to speak or communicate with God.  But to our logical mind it is more convincing to accept that there is no need of a specific language to communicate with GOD. The question of godly language self-destructs because it is GOD alone who is all powerful, Almighty, omnipotent & omniscience can truly understand all language. It is irrelevant to claim that god needs a heavenly language to make him understand. so, claiming godly language from any religion simply stands nullified both the language and GOD.

Early pope considered translating the BIBLE as a blasphemy because of their pride and complacency. The scriptures were available only at pope’s kingdom and not circulated to anyone. When martin Luther read and understood the word of GOD, he started translating the bible in local vernacular which spread like a fire and made every people to read in their local language. Martin nailed 95 theses about these restrictions and salvation of GOD to everyone.

The LORD spoke to Moses face to face, as a man speaks to his friend. Exodus 33:11

Truly our GOD Is an awesome and almighty GOD who loves to hear every dialect and understands our prayer in our mother tongues.

History of Dialects:

Genesis 11-1 - Now the whole earth had one language and one speech. And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar, and they dwelt there. 3 Then they said to one another, “Come, let us make bricks and bake them thoroughly.” They had brick for stone, and they had asphalt for mortar. 4 And they said, “Come, let us build ourselves a city, and a tower whose top is in the heavens; let us make a name for ourselves, lest we be scattered abroad over the face of the whole earth.”
 
5 But the Lord came down to see the city and the tower which the sons of men had built. 6 And the Lord said, “Indeed the people are one and they all have one language, and this is what they begin to do; now nothing that they propose to do will be withheld from them. 7 Come, let Us go down and there confuse their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech.” 8 So the Lord scattered them abroad from there over the face of all the earth, and they ceased building the city. 9 Therefore its name is called [c]Babel, because there the Lord confused the language of all the earth; and from there the Lord scattered them abroad over the face of all the earth.
