    The funny thing is he he gave first century christians the power to speak in different languages yet neglected to use that opportunity to have them perfectly translate the Hebrew and Greek scriptures into all the the languages present and future.

    @Smiddy: if Moses wrote the first five books of the Bible, what writing system did he use? Egyptian hieroglyphics? Sumerian cunieform? From what I've read the Hebrew alphabet didn't come into existence until around 1000 BCE and was borrowed from their neighbors. According to the table in back of oldNWT, Moses 'wrote' Genesis in the year 1513(B.C.E). I wonder what system Yahweh used when he 'wrote' the commandments on the stone tablets....
