“A MARTIAN VISITS THE EARTH”
He said “Th thr ts-dy w
sld pst th wrng spc mtr
nt rth pls ssst s”
Everyone scratched their
heads and looked puzzled.
Someone said “We are
earthlings, we would like to
help you. What did you say?”
The little creature again
mouthed off “W lft Mrs
wtht th rgth gr nd w nd y t fx t”
Someone else then said more
loudly and slowly “We
obviously don’t speak your language, does anyone on your space craft
speak
English?”
At this, the indignant
little critter swiftly turned
on its heel, climbed back on board his capsule and promptly flew off
into outer
space.
God was speaking to Abraham
one day and said “nd
wll gv nt th nd t thy sd ftr th th lnd.”
Abraham replied “Excuse me
LORD, but I haven’t got a
clue what you are talking about. I don’t want to be disrespectful or
anything
LORD, but could you please speak a little more clearly so I can
understand
you?”
God was also talking to
Moses and said “Dw nt ngh
hthr … fr th plce … s hly grnd… hv srly sn th fflctn f my ppl whch r n
gypt …
fr knw thr srrws”
In a similar reply, Moses
said “Say that again
almighty God, I am confused … I honestly have not understood a word
you’ve
said, God?”
Correct, the little
Martian, and indeed God, were
speaking words without using any of the vowels … you know a,e,i,o,u. I
remember
laughing at the predicament of the Martian and thinking “Well if he
can’t speak
the earthling language, how will anyone be able to understand him?”
Those watching the TV
programme knew that it was all
a bit of nonsense designed to get a few laughs.
Now we all know that God
didn’t say to Abraham “nd
wll gv nt th, nd t thy sd ftr th, th lnd.” He actually said “And I
will
give unto thee, and to thy seed after thee, the land…” (Genesis 17:8)
The ‘intellectual critics’
and Bible correctors who
would say that God’s name is not Jehovah but Yahweh, would have us
believe that
God spoke to the Jews in words without any vowel sounds.
They would have you believe
that Moses, Abraham,
Isaac, Jacob and all the prophets, were spoken to by God with
vowel-less words.
They would have you believe
that God’s words
consisted only of consonants eg God said “Dw nt ngh…” upon which Moses
pondered
awhile and then said to himself “Aha! God said “Draw not nigh…” (Exodus
3:5).
Correct!!! When God spoke
to Adam right back in the
beginning, Adam would have been absolutely clear about what God said
and the words
that were used. Adam would have been in no doubt and written them down
as he
heard them. Similarly, for God to have spoken words consisting only of
consonants, that couldn’t be understood by the chosen leaders and
prophets of
his people, would place God in the category of the Little Martian. How
could
God then hold anyone accountable? He couldn’t.
