As one reads the Account in Genesis of Adam walking and talking with God, one cannot but wonder what language they spoke.

Hi kids,

It is too easy to dismiss the account as pure myth because of our unfamiliarity with trees which impart knowledge and life. We don't have experience with talking serpents. Even so, it has been believed by many that Hebrew was the original language. We might even suggest that there is evidence that the New Testament writers believed the same. The ancient memory concerning the language of Hebrew is: words derive their meaning from the combined meaning of the individual letters.

You have probably heard of the "Ten Commandments". They can be found in two places: Exodus 20 and Deuteronomy 5. These two places tell of the same Ten Commandments. There is another set of ten commandments that are hidden in Genesis 1. They are right there where you can find them, but they must be hidden, because few people can see them. Can you?

If we simply dismiss the idea that there is an Adamic, or language that God used when he spoke creation into existence, then we have decided the matter in ignorance. We simply choose to believe what we want, not caring what may be true.

Look for the words "God said". Count them. God commanded all those things, and they happened. He commanded even the dirt and the water and the stars. They all obeyed him.

They pretend that if you can say the word right you can control the things the word describes.

If there is a language of God, it is reasonable to presume that he wants us to understand it.

God is the one who has power. He used words to create things. The reason to learn the words is to understand God better in his own language. Maybe you say that you don't believe in God.

Isaac Mozenston has been researching the event at Babel where the one language was scrambled into the various languages of the nations. He uses similar consonant patterns found in many language and observes that it appears that Hebrew was scrambled to form other languages rather than each of the languages being a whole new creation. Much of his work is promising to demonstrate such scrambling, but his attempts to define the meaning of the individual letters falls flat.

Mozenston ignores the fact that the nations with new languages retained their pagan beliefs, while the ones who retained a written language continued to wrestle with God. We should not expect that working back from the 'pagan' languages would produce the pure Adamic language. We expect such efforts to be scrambled.

LOG:The Language of God

Introduction

Hi kids,

You have probably heard of the "Ten Commandments". They can be found in two places: Exodus 20 and Deuteronomy 5. These two places tell of the same Ten Commandments. There is another set of ten commandments that are hidden in Genesis 1. They are right there where you can find them, but they must be hidden, because few people can see them. Can you?

Look for the words "God said". Count them. God commanded all those things, and they happened. He commanded even the dirt and the water and the stars. They all obeyed him. He used words to command then. The words did not have power. Some of the cartoons and movies you watch pretend that words have power. They pretend that if you can say the word right you can control the things the word describes.

God is the one who has power. He used words to create things. The reason to learn the words is to understand God better in his own language. Maybe you say that you don't believe in God. This book is for you. God didn't say that you have to believe him first. He said you could know him before you believe.

Isa 43:10 Ye are my witnesses, saith [says] the LORD, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me.
The verse above is from the King James Bible. Some people say that it is difficult to read. I put [says] in square brackets to show you how easy it is to understand. You can read it in another version if you wish. There are reasons I like the King James version, but they are for another discussion.
If I quote something from the King James, it may sometimes look completely different from another Bible. This is just because the way people translate. If someone said "Hola!" in Spanish, one person may translate it as "Hi", another as "Hello" or another as "Hey". But you are smart enough to understand that.
