What Language Does God Speak, or All?

If god has messiahs, and many of them are from different areas around the world. So they must speak different languages.

Now does god know all these languages, or is god's word understandable by all?

Maybe this is why we have so much confusion? We can not comprehend what god is actually telling us, because we do not understand it's language.

If God is omniscient and omnipotent, then it should be expected that he be capable of speaking all languages.

There is absolutely no excuse for all the confusion over translations. God has the power to transmit his message void of confusion.

But I know god cannot be omnipotent, so how does he know all the languages?

"Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?"

Oh Panini... the Prophet of God's Tongue... :D It certainly sounds better than Latin or Syriac, Greek, or Old Church Slavonic, or even Reformed Egyptian.

Or Pali and Sanskrit (Buddhism), Avestan (Zoroastrianism), Old Punjabi (Sikhism), Arabic (Islam)...

I love that GOD can express Himself in different cultures, and in different ways!

:D

A being not able to speak every natural and invented language on Earth doesn't deserve the title "God."

Obviously, God speaks Elizabethan English. Like this, see:

Joshua 5:
At that time the LORD said unto Joshua, Make thee sharp knives, and circumcise again the children of Israel the second time. 3And Joshua made him sharp knives, and circumcised the children of Israel at the hill of the foreskins.

Yes in a fantasy they are very good. however they are not real, as in exist. False gods made from mens wild fantasies to explain the unknown. Man has an ego and that is where god comes from....

Fail. This argument does not try to demonstrate that God is not omnipotent. This is an Argument from Evil that tries to disprove God's existence by showing that the existence of evil is incompatible with God's omnipotence. If facts about the world contradict the definition of God, then it concludes he doesn't exist.

Seriously, analyze these sentences and you will see that it in no way says God can't be omnipotent.

"Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent."

The above is a conditional statement. It's saying IF God is not able, then this contradicts his omnipotence attribute, but IF God IS able, then God is omnipotent, but also malevolent.

God speaks the universal language of love, of course.

Not Latin that’s for sure, which is what I pictured it to be as a young Catholic boy, but if you believe in such an entity is would be in universal language of scientific truth or nature and not man's crude interpretation written in some holy book millennia ago.

Mathematics, maybe?

Or the natural laws?
