Babylon was built on the ruins and on the philosophical foundations of Babel. As QT told you, confusion. Confusion is now the most apt description for modem Christianity. No-one wants to agree with anyone anymore... Using the minutest excuses for going it alone. Setting aside foundational truths in favor of preconceived opinions and using the flimsiest of reasons for doing so. Like you did on this thread.
The evidence for a global conspiracy led by occult secret societies and the Vatican is in your face and here you are arguing over a few hundred year difference in the establishment of babel and it's obvious connections to Babylon.
I have read that the Story of the Tower of Babel occurred around 3,800 BC, while the Flood occurred around 2,400 BC plus or minus 50 years depending on whose OT chronology you use, some 1,400 years before the flood.
Now, I have no issue with your opening sentence in your rebuttal to me: - "Babylon was built on the ruins and on the philosophical foundations of Babel." This statement has no time stamp associated with it and indeed it does not need to take our minds to the times before the flood..
Then you go off on a tangent and rant about confusion as the meaning of the Hebrew word "Babel" and that today's "modern Christianity" is best said to be very confused, because today's Christianity follows the conspiracies of the Vatican.
With this claim you revealed your hatred of the Roman Catholic Church, with the inference that your denominational beliefs are the only beliefs that should be believed.
The story of the Tower of Babel, is about God confounding the language of the people such that many languages flowed out of their single language, that they had at the time of building their city and tower to stop them from being scattered all over the face of the earth, and because of this the people moved away from the place that became know as Babel and disbursed throughout the whole earth. This movement of the people away from the area of Babel, certainly occurred during the early life of Abraham and the Bible provides evidence that Haran, one of Abraham's brothers had left the city of Ur where his father lived and travelled probably north-westwards up the River Euphrates to establish a place for himself which he named after himself. God's command Noah and his three sons to: - "Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth," which can be considered to be a reference back to Genesis 1:28. By going against God's command to fill the whole earth, by building a single city, God stepped in to cause His Command to Noah and his three sons to be fulfilled.
You then went on to make a personal attack against myself in an attempt to invalidate my beliefs.
It was you who I asked to provide the scriptural confirmation to support your claims, and unfortunately QT butted in to support his "buddy" in the "faith."
Now, if you cannot or will not provide the scriptural evidence to support your claims concerning the story of the Tower of Babel, then that is fine with me as it finishes the discussion that we were having and there is no further need to continue.
Good Day Sir.
