Why Many Languages? Qur'an Vs Bible by AntiChristian: 12:21am On Dec 28, 2019
Why many Languages?

Bible says in Genesis 11:1-7
1 Now the whole world had one language and a common speech. 2 As men moved eastward, [a] they found a plain in Shinar [b] and settled there.
3 They said to each other, "Come, let's make bricks and bake them thoroughly." They used brick instead of stone, and tar for mortar. 4 Then they said, "Come, let us build ourselves a city, with a tower that reaches to the heavens, so that we may make a name for ourselves and not be scattered over the face of the whole earth."
5 But the LORD came down to see the city and the tower that the men were building. 6 The LORD said, "If as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them. 7 Come, let us go down and confuse their language so they will not understand each other."

Allah says in Surah 30:22
And of His signs is the creation of the heavens and the earth, and the difference of your languages and colours. Lo! herein indeed are portents for men of knowledge.

According to the Bible, the difference in languages was a plot from God who felt jealous and afraid when He saw men speaking the same language.

Allah says in the Quran that the difference in languages is a miracle, and not a curse. Allah does not plot jealously against humans. All humans cannot do anything against the will of Allah and can neither harm nor benefit the Almighty Allah whether they speak one language or not.

Our God is a jealous God and can never share his glory with man who is just flesh and blood eating and drinking sin this punishment was just by YAHWEH and cannot be understood by you Sir .

Is that why he revealed the Quran only in Arabic? And translating it to any other language it loses its essence?
Just as your prophet says u must pray the salah in Arabic. I think Allah was small minded to reveal in a language only 4% of the world understands.

Hmmmmmmmmm, what an intelligent question! smiley

The Bible was written with a complete documentation of reasons for whatever question we might ask! This your question is a good one but it's exclusively things of the SPIRIT!

Satan tricked Eve to get Adam and that's how he drew them away from God (whose eyes can't keep seeing evil). Satan knew he can't be using the same trick on Adam's descendants so he needed someone as an agent through whom he will be ruling mankind.

It was because Nimrod (a mighty hunter feared by one and all) initiated building a city with tick and huge walls to camp them in one spot, he intende to rule them as their king. So Satan began ruling the earth with Nimrod as his chief agent. But God's will is for humans to fill the earth surface and it is not yet time to start his own program of setting standard, to help Adam's descendants knows the secret behind their woes. He spoke with his angels and they miraculously changed the people's language. This brought a great confusion so the city under construction was abandoned and those who are able to understand one another moved together each heading to different places to dwell as they're able to speak the same language.

Satan never gave up in his bid to rule humans till today, down through history he kept empowering humans as his agent to camp people under his domain so that God won't be able to communicate with them to liberate them from under Satan's domination. That's why he uses human agents as kings to hold people as one under dominance like
©Pharaoh of Egypt
©Sennacherib of Assyria (Southern Iran)
©Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon (Iraq)
©Xaxes of ModePersia (Northern Iran/Orientals)
©Alexander of Greece
©Roman Emperors
©England Dynasty
©America

God picked a nation, liberated them with rules to understand that others are under the influence of an evil force and began protecting them from Satan's agents.

When Israelites demanded for a King like other nations, Samuel a servant of God told them "it's against God's will that those other nations are having Kings rule over them". The Israelites thought since they had the backing of the most powerful spirit (God) it's an advantage to conquer all other nations of the earth and DOMINATE them.

God assured them that that's his plan but the King he will appoint to do that will come through David's lineage, he will rule as a righteous King, he will not judge based on what he hears alone but read the hearts of those making reports to him, he will destroy all Satan's agents ruling the earth as kings, and he will reign forever! Isaiah 9:6-7

Israelites were in eager expectation of this promised king, so when they noticed that almost all the prophesies regarding that promised king were fulfilled in Jesus they were eager to install him as their King! John 6:15

Kind Herod the great grew angry when astrologers from Babylon came to tell him they saw the glory of a great King born as a new born baby under Herod's domain, he quickly sensed that that must be the child so he planned to kill Jesus since such glory didn't come from his own house. Those astrologers were Satan's agents as well, arranged to get the child killed but God intervened!

So it wasn't just jealousy that made God to change our languages, it happened for a reason. And God has promised that we will later speak the same language once again, but first we must learn to understand one another under a wise counselor, Jesus served as that wonderful counselor and he is uniting people from all the nations under one umbrella now to form one big happy family of peace loving worshippers. John 17:20-23

That's why you're seeing JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES today, so peaceful and united as if we are all SPEAKING one language {Isaiah 1:1-4} that's the work of the Wonderful Counselor, the Prince of Peace! Isaiah 9:6

God bless you!

You know i hate presenting THEORIES without the PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS of it and i won't leave you without presenting the BENEFITS!

Everything has been compiled in the other post.

The THEORY~ document regarding multiple language since the book says we're all from one single couple Adam and Eve!

The PRACTICAL APPLICATION ~ why God split people's language!

The BENEFITS ~ how he is uniting them again but this time ONLY obedient humans!

All these are in the above post!

Don't think i'm responding to please you, i'm doing perhaps there may be an
Atheist
Misinformed Churchgoer
Muslim or any other observer may like to know why all these were documented in the Bible.
That's why i keep presenting to them the source of my advanced learning JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES

You quoted the Qur'an saying
"God (who created just one couple in the beginning) miraculously split people's language" so that we can no more speak the same language, this has led to so many racial conflicts, wars and genocide!

Please what's the reason why Allah performed this miracle that led to so much havoc?

Do you think there is anyway you can convince any right thinking person to worshiping Allah if there is no sound reason why he Allah performed such a disastrous miracle changing people's language? undecided

Trust me, Nairalanders are used to avoiding all those posting credulous ideals in religion!

I've done justice to your question for any observer to understand what led to disorganizing the human society by the sudden change in their language, and how God is gathering OBEDIENT humans again in this end time as one big family!

So as grandpas that we are, i'll suggest we let the sleeping dog lie! smiley
