    Re: English as a Second Language???

    I have no problem with people using English as a second language.

    As long as American is the first language.
    Isaiah 45:7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.
    Amos 3:6 Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be afraid? shall there be evil in a city, and the LORD hath not done it?
    Numbers 21:6 And the LORD sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and much people of Israel died.
    Matthew 10:34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.
    Matthew 10:35 For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
    Matthew 10:36 And a man's foes shall be they of his own household.

      Thank you for bringing this to our attention! It might explain why they are always so hard to understand. Is there a way to make them speak American instead?

        . . . and then the Mexicans degraded it into a gutter dialect of Spanish called "Mexican". Only the white people of Mexico City speak proper Castillian Spanish.

          If God wanted everyone to sound like a talking burrito, He would have written the Bible that way. But He wrote it in English. Why do you think that is?

          It's obvious that everyone spoke English before the Tower of Babel. After God confounded their language, only the most righteous were able to retain this true and perfect tongue — although today it is spoken across the entire hierarchy of humanity from Juggaloes on up. Unsaved anglophones should consider themselves lucky that they can read the Bible without having to learn the language in which it was written!

            How about we just not let them in here, it would solve that and about a zillion more problems here in the good 'ol US of A!

            Or, maybe we post a sign in American at the border that says "US to the right, pit of hungry crocodiles to the left? Those that can't read it have a 50/50 chance of making it..

              English is a racist language. It was invented by Germanic brutes that raped and pillaged their way across a homeland inhabited by indigenous people (Celts). From that legacy, we have insitutionalized slavery, American imperialism, British imperialism, and other heinous acts that have been done using the English language.

              Every time we speak English, we are paying homage to genocide and greed. I think a better world language, and primary language for America would be a language of peace, like Swahili, Xhosa, or Zulu. Or perhaps an artificial language like Esperanto.

                    Ahhh yes. The languages of those advanced afrikan tribal people who still live in mud huts and throw their feces at each other while planning to steal the other guys goats. Sure, let's set back our civilization back 1,000 years to speak the language of uncultured barbarians.

                          America only declared independacy in 1776, and since Jesus was born over 2000 years ago he cannot have spoken "American". (which isn't an actual language by the way)

                          He Spoke Aramaic.

                          The Bible was written mostly in Hebrew and Aramaic and translated to hundreds of different languages.

                          the oldest known intact surviving christian bible is written in Greek, its a manuscript.

                            Jesus can do anything. Speaking American wouldn't even be a minor miracle.
                            May you be a blessing to every life you touch.

                              I dont believe the bible is true, but since I'm on your turf.. I'll assume it is for now.


                              You do have a point, but if the language didn't exist while he was alive, you would have to ask what the point of speaking it would be.

                              If no one could understand him cause he spoke English, then how could he have done the things he did...

                              So he spoke Aramaic.

                              While he technically could have made everyone able to speak English, since this is not mentioned in the Bible it can be assumed it never happened.

                                What's your problem with American English and also Jesus? Are you here to promote your multicultural/lingual agenda?
                                May you be a blessing to every life you touch.
