What if the confusion of Babel also includes the separation of body language and spoken language?
I then re-read Genesis chapters 1-10.
In these 10 chapters, no human tells a lie. With Cain, he may have killed Abel in a place the two were visiting for the first time. We don't have his return journey, so he could well have gotten lost, especially with the adrenaline coursing through his system.
Whether Cain lied or not, murder has been with us longer than has lying.
This was an excellent read and very helpful to me! Much appreciated.
Fascinating, thanks!
Thank you for encouraging a deeper understanding of God's Word. Pray that we all live it out more fully.
This article got the old noggin joggin'.
