As a Christian, we sometimes wonder about certain passages in the bible.

So many questions to ponder on. The reason for this thread is to get explanations from bible 'scholars'. The floor is open.

The question is that they want to build a massive house to house all humans living then.
That's why Nimrod said that they may live together and not spread over the earth.

The wrong they did is not the height of the building, but the fact they intend to flout God's command to "fill the earth"

bkool7:
God became angry with the inhabitants of Babel
for the following reasons:

1. They were being disobedient by settling,
when God clearly commanded to “Be fruitful
and multiply, and fill the earth” (Genesis 9:7)
. God does not tolerate disobedience, and
this is exactly what the inhabitants of Babel
were doing.

2. They were being prideful, which is a wicked
sin. The text clearly reveals the state of mind
of these people “Let us make a name for
ourselves.” They were bent on pride, and so
consumed by it that they wanted to create a
monumental skyscraper to “show off” just
how good they were.

3. Idolatry. While this passage does not go into
great detail concerning the idolatrous
practices of the Babylonians, the fact that
they wanted to ignore God and make a name
for themselves reveals that they were already
committing idolatry by worshipping “self."

Some commentators have suggested that
they would have worshipped pagan gods of
the stars and moon as well.
God does not get upset because He suspects the
people of Babel will actually build a tower in to
the heavens (the abode of God). In fact, this is
only an expression they uttered meaning
that the building would be a very tall building.
The word “heavens” in the Bible can refer to the
sky, outer space, or the abode of God.
What made God upset is that they are not filling
the Earth, were being prideful, and they were
committing idolatry.
God knew that they could do much evil working
collectively. This is why He utters, “Behold, they
are one people, and have one language, and this
is only the beginning of what they will do. And
nothing they propose to do will now be
impossible for them” (Genesis 11:6).
After this, God confounds their languages, which
is why we now have so many today. What’s
interesting to note is this: When people all had
one language, they achieved incredible things
very quickly–even the potential to create a
building that “reached into the heavens,” all
without today’s technology or machinery. But
after God changed their language, it greatly
diminished their productivity and abilities.
What about today’s time? We live in an age where
we now have translators and software that can
allow for rapid communication with people of
other languages. Language is not as much of a
barrier as it used to be, and we are witnessing
incredible feats in human history. We have
decoded the human genome, made huge
discoveries in science, engineering, technology,
and more.
What God knew was happening in the time of
Babel is once again happening today. As the
speech barrier is broken down, man is rising up.
God’s words of “And nothing that they propose to
do will be impossible for them” is starting to
once again come true, as in the time of Babel.
That is why wickedness is increasing at such a
fast pace. Not only are we accomplishing more,
but we too are trying to “make a name for
ourselves.” We are trying to worship man instead
of God.
Are you ready for the return of Christ? If you died
today, are you 100% sure that you’d be saved
from God’s judgment? If not, please accept Christ
as your savior today. Pray a prayer to God asking
for the forgiveness of yours sins, and put your
trust and faith in the risen Christ.

thank you for dis wonderful explanation. I hope d op will decipher d true meaning of DAT passage from dis

mykel25:


When Jesus said IT IS FINISHED He was referring to your sense....... Aw does been destabilized initially affect them from been stabilized after days n continue their sins again.... Ur logic is wack I repeat

My problem with you is that you don't read instruction or you lack understanding, read the Bible portion well.
You talk as if they will just stabilize like that, remember such has never happened before and how easy will it be for you to get people that understand your language and have the requisite skill to continue the project.

FOLKS really, you guys should get a chill. Remember the popular saying "if you can't beat them, you join them" I think that should apply here.

Op,from my own understanding the tower of babel may not be a building, it may be a machine of sort.that passage shows the power in unity ,it shows people who are united are powerful (even stupid people).they found blueprint of helicopter and other machines designed in ancient Egypt so their must have been technology back then.so the machine could be a teleportation machine and they wey close to being successful but when they could not understand each others language again the project was abandoned. Jokes apart who will allow a group of surgeon that speaks different languages operate on him?

Lmao...mumu plenty for naija bruv. na to be pastor sure pass....gullible one will pay tithe na

sonofluc1fer:

And when you wonder, you should ask the Holy Spirit for direction and wisdom, that thy faith not be tossed into the sea.

Now, based on what the Holy Spirit told me this morning, technology back then was much more advanced than we know today. Men were much strong -- Samson killed a lion with bare hands, and over 1500 Philistines all alone. The other nigga David was so bad-ass, all the mkpeke for Israel were singing his name "Saul has killed a 1000, David 10000". Remember the Prophet that ran and overtook a horse. What about Moses that divided the Red Sea? In those days, the Holy Spirt spread knowledge and power for men to do exploits.

So that's how they built a rock tower that almost reached heaven.

God had every right to be scared. Over-familiarity brings contempt.


Edit: the Bible is fiction. Nothing concern black man concern Abraham and im ppl.

2nd Edit: Guys, I was being sacarstic.

3rd Edit.: Going to become a pastor. Mumu plenty for this country.. Smartphones and really dumb people.

wee u keep quiet who told you God is spirit God is more than spirit he is the creator of spirits no one has seen God so U can't describe Him. may God forgive your ignorance

John 4:24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

As a Christian, we sometimes wonder about certain passages in the bible.

So many questions to ponder on. The reason for this thread is to get explanations from bible 'scholars'. The floor is open.

The problem is not the bible, but it's believers are dumb enough to take everything literally. Some certain tales in the bible are overly exaggerated, while others are true. In fact, not everything in the bible may be true.

In those days, people were building pyramids in North Africa and Mesopotamia region (modern day Iraq area), even the Mayans in South America, and if you study history, you'll see its easy to see how early man thought he could actually build a structure as high as reaching the heavens. Obviously, the writer didn't know how high the sky, or may be he knew, but he wanted to emphasize it was really a very tall building. Again, the problem is not the writer, the problem is dumb religious people who can't make use of their mind. Its called hyperbole!!.

Regarding the destruction of capacity to build by destroying a language, that's perfectly true- LITERALLY, linguists has confirmed it. If you destroy the language of a people; how would they learn how to build? You need your own original language to learn to build, not a new language. So, the bible is perfectly right on that one. Any civilization when dispersed and they begin speaking different languages, would eventually separate into different cultures unable to work together. Even today, if you come to Yorubaland or Igboland or Zululand, or any other culture and disperse their language, making them unable to understand each other, they'll not be able to work together to achieve any common goal. If you research it further you'll discover those countries speaking their own (one) language are also more technologically advanced than others; Japan, Russia, Germany, Korea, China, Britain, France, Spain, e.t.c.

How realistic is it to build a tower to heaven?

THE BIBLE IS A SPIRITUAL BOOK, AND THE REALITY OF SPIRITUAL POWERS MUST BE ACCEPTED TO UNDERSTAND IT FULLY.

Is heaven up?

Heaven is not "UP;" THE WAY TO HEAVEN is "UP."

Could the tower be as high as the Burj Khalifa?
Could the tower go as high as space ships which shoots up far into the skies?

MAGNITUDE of height is NOT important; only SUFFICIENCY OF HEIGHT.

The Tower had to reach THE CLOUD COVER.

Anyone with the requisite SPIRITUAL ENERGY could then USE THE ASSOCIATIVE ATTRIBUTE of Clouds to TRANSLATE from Earth Realm into THE CLOUDS OF HEAVEN, achieving PORTAL.

This could be problematic on many levels.

Don't the world have a common language now?

The point of eliminating language was to prevent the building of the tower at that time.

After the Knowledge of how to Translate was lost, our Tower-Buildinb became inconsequential.

Has anyone seen heaven today with all the latest technology available?

People have seen Heaven, but not in the way you think is necessary. If a WINDOW into Heaven were opened next to you, and you looked in, you would not be able to see anything, because you do not have the necessary Spiritual Energy.

Looking into such a Window and SEEING anything, without the necessary prerequisite Discipline could KILL you. Your MIND has to be BRACED and REINFORCED to survive such exposure.

As a Christian, we sometimes wonder about certain passages in the bible.

Actually, Christians have THE Spirit of God, Who leads into All Truth.

So many questions to ponder on. The reason for this thread is to get explanations from bible 'scholars'. The floor is open.

Why not get The Holy Ghost, instead of chasing "Scholars" around.

how possible is building the pyramids today? yet they were built way older than anything in history.the level of technology of the acient civilization would foreva remain a mystery to us....

To all readers, let me advise you to go and read a book titled 'The bible, The qu'ran and the science' written by Maurice Buccaile. All answers to the authenticity and genuineness of those books were well explained

mykel25:


Do u mean God doesn't exist cuz God is Yahweh

God is zeus also

Deicide:
Yahweh has a bad temper he needs mortal to calm him down

Yaweh asked for 5 righteous people but couldn't get.

Deicide:
Yahweh has a bad temper he needs mortal to calm him down

That passage demonstrates God's mercy. It strengthens our faith that intercession can change our fate to bring about divine grace.

Thank God o. I've been looking for monitoring spirit to follow me. You're welcome.

It is simple! They can never get to heaven even rockets didn't get to heaven rather space..... God knew they have a strong WILL and they when they build to a level it ll collapse n end up killing majority if not all...so he scattered their language because he won't wanna start creation of man all again

God knew they were not going to get to heaven but he destroy the towel because of their malicious intention..

Im really happy this post made fp
I can see most people are applying logic

Yaweh asked for 5 righteous people but couldn't get.

This is about Moses and not Sodom

So a "God" can get angry because of mere humans?
