KJVO and belief in a Flat Earth

[Hentenza]

They were not universal languages.

When did Greek and Latin fall as the universal languages of the Mediterranean countries? Secondly, when did English become the universal language of the world?

 

[David Waffen]

Are you denying any of that or are you just wanting to play with red herrings with year games?

 

[standingtall]

The word went into English since it was to be the universal

Did you get any cookies with your koolaid?

 

[pgp_protector]

I think English is the third most common language, behind Mandarin and Spanish.

 

[Hentenza]

You should leave judgement of people up to God. You aren't God, are you?

I am called to discern. I am discerning. Do you think that KJVO defending a belief in the flat Earth ( a fully incorrect belief) using the KJV is consistent with the purpose of the word of God?

Did you fail geography in school?

No, English is the most spoken language and it is spoken universally.

 

[Hentenza]

I think English is the third most common language, behind Mandarin and Spanish.

Actually English is number 2.

So not only are you to judge people, but you also determine the purposes of the word?

If you think geography has anything at all to do with your ridiculous statements, maybe you should take a refresher course.

 

[Hentenza]

No, English is the most spoken language and it is spoken universally.

Mandarin is the most spoken language with over 1 billion speakers. English is second with half but that is only half a billion people compared to a world population of over 7 billion.

ETA: How about the other 6.5 billion people? Will they not have the chance to read the word of God?

 

[David Waffen]

Actually English is number 2.

Actually your guess is wrong.

 

[Hentenza]

So not only are you to judge people, but you also determine the purposes of the word?

Should the word of God be used to argue for complete falsehoods?

 

[Hentenza]

Actually your guess is wrong.

Citation please.

English is a universal language

 

[David Waffen]

Mandarin is the most spoken language with over 1 billion speakers. English is second with half but that is only half a billion people compared to a world population of over 7 billion.

Over 2 billion people speak English.

 

[Hentenza]

Over 2 billion people speak English.

Citation please.

ETA: Even if your number is right, it is not, how about the remaining 5 billion people? Do they get the chance to read the word of God?

 

[standingtall]

English is a universal language

We'll, if 6.5 billion people don't speak or understand English, it can't be universal can it?

Or, to use your figures, that would leave 5 billion that don't speak English. Still a long way from being universal.

lol Wikipedia? Lets explore the numbers provided by wikipedia. L1 speakers are native speakers while L2 speakers learned English as a second language. The L2 number is not based on fluency but on education numbers. How many L2 English learners retained the language and how effective are they in communicating (reading and writing) fluently in English?
