Great Teaching!
I've been thinking--”Danger, Will Robinson, danger!”--man does not like his God-given name because it defines him as a being that is tied to the earth. This name reminds him that he is not the Elohim or even a god. So, he is always (like at the tower of Babel) trying to change his name, that which defines him, to a name that means he is more than man, to a name that's great. But there is only One Who has the right to change our name, the One Who has the Name that is above all names: the Lord Jesus Christ, the One that named man.
Umm...your “instant language day” comment/joke made it seem like God was caught off guard and had to tweak His plan, and I know from your other messages that you don't, in even a teeny-weeny way, believe that.
Thank you, Dr. Sanders, for making me think about things that I'd accepted without giving any thought about it and hadn't realized that I had.
