Spirit in Man as Receptacle of Memory
(From Forerunner Commentary)

Genesis 11:4-9  (Go to this verse :: Verse pop-up) Verse 6 clearly indicates that God confused the language and scattered the people at Babel in order to restrain the misguided inventive genius of man! When human beings come to freely speak one another's languages, and share scientific and technological knowledge as they are doing today, then virtually anything man's mind can conceive of would be possible for him to achieve—witness his exploration of planets and the invention of weapons capable of destroying all life. By confusing the language and scattering the people at Babel, God prevented man from accomplishing long ago what he has done today. It was not yet within God's plan to allow man to advance that far that soon! Why Study the Bible in the Space Age?

Ecclesiastes 12:7  (Go to this verse :: Verse pop-up) This spirit in each individual, of necessity, does more than merely impart the power of intellect to the physical brain. It becomes a spiritual "mold" of the entire person—even to preserving memory, knowledge, and character. And so when a person dies, that spirit "recording" returns to God and is "filed" away until the time God will "replay" it to bring about the resurrection of the identical personality to life and consciousness. Just What Is Man?
