Re: Nothing but Babel
Just FYI.
Didn't he go to great lengths to prove he was still human after his resurrection?
Strictly from a theological perspective, there is a difference between the resurrection and the ascension. Jesus as human post resurrection and as supernatural post ascension is not a conflict.
There is, of course, no connection between Jesus and the Tower of Babel fable and bringing in Jesus is simply a way to take stuff OT.

Re: Nothing but Babel
The person in question is already bringing Jesus into the Tower of Babel, and has implied that there was a physical heaven somewhere in earth's atmosphere at the time that is somehow not there now but is but isn't like it was then.
The person in question seems to post nothing but examples of Theology of Making Shit up and Science of Any Fantasy Imaginable.
But the thread still is about language and the Tower of Babel and so far none of that seems to have much to do with the point of the fable.
