The "speak english" requirement

[naturalmwa]

All depends on the purposes. . . If we are trying to get people to speak the same language so we can again try to do something that would equate us with God then yes.

If we're just asking people to speak the local dominate language then no. Honestly the question asked "what will you speak in heaven" is a pointless, silly, and stupid question to ask. It hardly matters. And every indication seems to be that the new earth after the ressurrection will be re-united in one language.

Not to say that German congregations wouldn't necessarily ask the same questions but I will point out that the Norwegian and Swedish congregations are the liberal congregations.

Would you expect we would even use language in heaven? Is there air up there to allow the transmission of sound? I'd expect a perfect God to have a better system of communication. Is there really a theological reason for thinking we know that answer?

There is no theological reason for any answer to be known. That's why it's a pointless, silly stupid question.

There are a lot of bigger questions, even bigger questions we have no theological answer to to be asked other then "what language do we speak in heaven"

I'm pretty sure if I got to ask God a bunch of questions I don't need to know the answer to. (the answers I need to know are in the bible) then I don't think I would even think of asking about what language is spoken in heaven. Maybe I would get to it if God was constantly there answering unlimited questions that I don't need the answer to then maybe I would eventually get to that one but it would be a while.

I have no problem with people not speaking English here.

If they want to be dirt poor, then it's their right.
