What Language in Heaven
 
There are words and phrases in the latin-based languages that are so much more beautiful and descriptive.

I was thinking, what language are we going to use in Heaven? Will those poor hispanics be required to walk the streets of gold and gather around the throne with those little interpretation headphones in their ears?

Maybe the white pastors who insist that Spanish speaking people to wear those in their services opposed to giving them a church of their own or who disregarded them will be punished and have english (KJV-english would even be better) translated into headphones of their own in heaven throughout all eternity. :killinme

:slaphappy

Latin is so much more beautiful and descriptive than what? What about Greek?

BTW what makes you think we will need a vocalized language?

I personally think it will be the binary language of moisture vaporatores.

More beautiful than english.

We have boxes full of threads and posts digesting the meaning of words like of, it, at, about, when, in, for and so on.

Those of you who are of European discent...sheesh!

I am talking about the same concept as a missionary trying to influence the natives to wear white shirts with ties and slacks, and the women in the long dress when it is not customary to their culture to do so.

It is a badge of success for a missionary to have photos of native churches and bible schools with all the people looking like westernized Apostolics. Actually it makes me kind of sick to see all that.

Yeah really...too bad they didn't leave em all nekkid all those years ago. Those Island vacations might seem more entertaining to the single men...go figure. Well in case nobody missed the sarcasm, I find nothing wrong with some changes to culture when culture is contrary to scriptures.

What would you prefer they be wearing?

Though I am not sure how your point is relevant to what I said.

It will obviously be Elizabethian English because that is what it sounds like during Tongues and Interpretation. :D :D

Who knows....
It COULD be a language of nothing but metaphor's.
