God doesn't want your global government and new world order. God doesn't want one nation, one currency, one language.
Oh, so you know what God wants?
hubris - exaggerated pride or self-confidence often resulting in retribution. (Webster's)
Craig, you're full of it.
There are some variations in interpretations of the story of the Tower of Babel, but I don't think any reasoned interpretation would suggest God was punishing man for cooperating with one another, for speaking one language. Most would interpret it as retribution for man's hubris, his arrogance in thinking he could build a tower to reach the heavens, that he could be like God or that he would make God in his own image.
Others have argued that the builders were punished for disobedience of a supposed command of God to scatter, that Babel represented efforts at urbanization (which it did) in defiance of God (which it didn't). Perhaps this is the basis for your interpretation (assuming you have really thought about it at all), but it is built upon a flawed premise - that God wanted man scattered. Rather than a command to disperse, to separate from one another, wasn't God's word really a blessing that man should multiply and fill the Earth?
In any case, whether your purpose in imposing Biblical verse into the debate of globalization was an attempt to actually make a point against globalization or simply an attempt to appear credible (righteous), you failed. |
