Agreed! Imagination isn’t the problem. The Word says that God is able to do above and beyond all the we could hope or imagine. As Christians, if our hearts and minds are set on God’s Word, then our imagination can act as a mighty tool for the kingdom of God.

Comment on What about “forgiving yourself?” by William Brannan

The whole problem is one of fixing our eyes on ourselves rather than upon Christ. Then we choose to believe our own perceptions rather than believing what Jesus has done for us on the cross.

It is interesting to contrast Gen 11:4 with Heb. 11:10. It was not just a tower the people were building but a city with a tower. They would not build with stone (what God had directly made) but with human designed brick and slime instead (Gen 11:3). They also wished to make themselves a name (Gen 11:4) whereas believers are identified with God’s name (ie. Rev 3:8). The whole system was parallel to what Gods people have always been seeking, but on human terms. Therein is the evil of it.

I thought it sounds a lot like socialism. Now, the imagination of the heart is evil only always continually and if everyone agrees together that the imagination of the heart is for the greater good than the word of God, then the imagination of the heart leads to the acceptance of killing the innocent, accepting perverted abominations as love, stealing from your neighbor by proxy (as your congressman steals on your behalf via taxes)…

I think these are the imaginations of the heart that were the problem — not the use of science to build a building — the fact that they stopped scattering is probably a very accurate assessment of the problem. You know, the church was in its infancy, when they first stopped “going into all the world” and then God allowed persecution to come and all of a sudden they were willing to “go into all the world” and preach the gospel. It is a lot easier to settle down and get comfortable than it is to go into all the world and preach the gospel.

Thank you, Brandon, for Verse Click, I manage several websites, & am glad the Lord led me to a KJV alternative to Logos reftagger, which recently changed their KJV selection to KJV1900 (Cambridge Paragraph Edition) which has spelling variations from the KJV 1769.

Yes Brandon, that is very true. Each day I pick up my Bible, scriptures I have read so many times before seem to have a deeper meaning.

The Word of God is so beautiful, “With each new step, new things are illuminated. They were always there. Some people can see further down the path than others, but always, most of it is not visible without stepping forward in faith with the little lighted path you have.”

@ Terrie. I have to agree with Brandon, because from a biblical perspective, there are only two forces in this universe, the forces of good (Led by GOD) and the forces of evil (Led by Satan). If God clearly instructed the descendants of Noah to dispearse across the world and replenish it, and mankind (Led by Nimrod, who wanted to reinforce his power over his subjects) choose to force the people to stay concentrated in fenced cities and build a tower into the heavens, then they were in fact sinning against God by disobeying His direct command.
Also, God the creator of this universe had no reason to be afraid of man. However, he was aware of Satan’s plan to keep mankind concentrated in one place under the control of a wicked government so that he could corrupt all of mankind, with his idolatrous form of worship (“Thou shalt have no other God’s before me” Exodus 20:3), in an effort to wipe out the worship of the True and Living God in heaven. If Satan and his human subjects could have had their way, there would have been no faithful Abraham to be the father of the nation of Israel and subsequently, no Jesus.
Exceptional job Brandon!
