Charles: Because men build the tower for their own glory rather than God’s glory–God gets jealous and splits up everyone’s language so no one could understand each other.

God scattered the folks at Babel. He scattered Cain away from his family. He scattered Adam and Eve from the garden. He made the Hebrews wander the desert for 40 years. He scattered the 10 northern kingdoms into the Assyrian Empire, he scattered the Jews to the four winds. All because the people broke this or that rule. How do we know the God who gathers people together in the Christian Church is the same one who spent thousands of years scattering people?
