No, and it's pretty silly to suggest considering how simplistic Hebrew is.

It's also based around the concept of God speaking a verbal language, in spirit form. So the theory is, a spirit that cannot be measured in any known way; has some kind of spiritual vocal cords, a tongue and lips, and uses sound waves to communicate. And since sound waves naturally dissipate, it means that God can only communicate certain distances. So for God to speak to you if you're a few feet further away, He has to raise his God voice.

That just strikes me as someone who hasn't thought this through at all.

What about Yahweh being the closest there is to God's name?

Didn't English evolve from other languages?

Valid point.. English is a composite language of languages that already existed.. Latin, Frenc,h Norse, Dutch, and Gaelic, and you can probably throw in a few hundred smaller tribal languages that are now extinct..

(Isaiah 28:10-11) "For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little: {11} For with stammering lips and another tongue will He speak to this people."

So you don't think the names of God in the Bible are the actual names people in Heaven speak?

I think God does not need a name. We need names because there are many people and we need to distinguish beteen them. Since God is the one and only God He needs no name.. God has acceptable titles, The one you bring forth is Yaweh olso known as Yaveh is a title. I could say God of Abraham and that is an acceptable title. I could say Almighty and that is an acceptable title. You could probably name another 10..

I do not know if there is an Angelic language seperate from any of the languages on earth.. I think people assuming that the Launguage used in heaven must be one of the Languages used on earth is based on nothing worthy as proof..

So if Heaven has a language why does it need to be a language used on earth? It does not need one of our Languages..

The Promise of One Pure Language
Do you think those who claim Hebrew is the language of Heaven are teaching bibical doctrine?
No, because I believe that there will be other ways besides language that God will communicate with us. Most likely, it will be something similar to the day of Pentecost, where each person attending heard the apostles speak in their own native language/tongue. Weren't the different languages originally created to thwart man's plan of building a tower to heaven so that they could be like God? If so, now that we'll be in God's presence, I don't see the need for many different languages to divide us.

Do you believe Adam's language is something that is a mystery?

I think it is a mystery, because it was never specified what language God used to speak to Adam and Eve, or what language the serpent used to speak to Eve. Maybe it was some kind of language that is universally known to God, humans, and angels alike. Until I get to heaven, I won't know for sure regarding the answer to that question.

All languages evolve and borrow words from other.
Exactly. I'm also fluent in Spanish, and a lot of the words used there are a mix of indigenous vocabulary, words borrowed from Arabic (back in the times when the Muslims had invaded the Iberian peninsula), Latin, and more recently, English. And if we could do an in depth detailed linguistics study, we'd find that pretty much every language on this planet is interrelated with another one.

Doesn't the verse say one pure language? It says language.

You don't think angels and God talk with words?
