Thanks for your reply,

How many different languages? Many I presume, but I would have to google that. I suppose the best language is the one which is understood by the reader. The one which 'speaks' to the reader. Does the bible speak to all of its reader? Perhaps it does (in one way or another). I cannot speak for another.

We know words are powerful, but words are not always needed to convey thoughts and feelings and emotions. I can look at my wife and know what she is thinking because we have an intimate relationship. And she also with me.

And when we do speak (words), it is often a confirmation or elaboration of what we are seeing and feeling within towards each other.

So there is a relationship (my wife and I) and a familiarity and an understanding, and words confirm it and aid it and elaborate upon it.

I also see scripture as such. A confirmation of what is within and what is observed. Not as something strange or unfamiliar, but something which is familiar and affirming.

Now I think God desires such a relationship with his children. An intimate one. One where there is trust and comfort and peace and hope and love. These are feelings deep within and words cannot fully articulate such feelings. No man can share words with another which communicate such feelings fully.

Can one man share such things with another in words? Doubtful. But I trust God can share such things with a man. Seeing as He created man. He can speak to the mind and the soul and the spirit of a man. And he does this through any and all means to accomplish his plan. Including The Bible.

IMHO.
