Q:
I DIDN’T KNOW THE STARS COULD SPEAK ACTUAL WORDS?”

A: “THEY DON’T …
BUT BULLINGER SAYS THEY DO!”

And where does he get this from?

“But I say, Have they not heard? Yes verily, their sound went into all the earth, and their words unto the ends of the world.(Romans 10:18)

“Yes Dear Reader, the heavens, the stars and the planets can actually speak words … didn’t you know this?” says Bullinger … pretending to be wise (Romans 1:22)

Bullinger wrongfully refers to the Old Testament verses as follows …  

1 The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.

2 Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge.

3 There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard.

4 Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun, (Psalm 19:1-6)

Now, as of November 2024, there are 7164 languages and 160 dialects in the world … from Afrikaans to Zulu.

Does this mean that a particular star for example … speaks all these languages and dialects all at once?

Does this mean a Zulu looks into the sky and hears the stars speaking Zulu while at the very same moment an Afrikaan man hears it speak Afrikaan?  

And would that be possible for the Lord? Is there anything too hard for the LORD (Genesis 18:14)? Of course not!

Why we have the ass talking to Balaam (Numbers 22:28) and the stones able to cry out (Luke 19:40) … not that they did!

Furthermore, but in a slightly different context, we have the LORD making the men at Babel to speak in different languages … all at the same time (Genesis 11:9).

But is there another possibility for the words, languages and voice rather than the literal meaning of these words?

The reason we say that Bullinger misunderstands the scriptures, is to be found in the Romans verse …

Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly SEEN, being understood by the things that are made (that’s us) , even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: (Romans 1:19-20).

Now the explanation of the word “line” is as follows.

We have the phrase of their line to put it into context.

19 Because that which may be known of God is MANIFEST IN THEM; for God hath shewed it unto them.

20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are CLEARLY SEEN, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are WITHOUT EXCUSE:

21 Because that, when THEY KNEW GOD, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. (Romans 1:19-21)

Looking at creation, everyone one knows there is a God … because where there is organized information there must be a creator.

This means that no-one needs the stars actually speaking actual words to prove this.
