First of all, up until the Tower of Babel, they had to speak some language.

What language was that?

What's the best candidate?

In Revelation we see ...

Revelation 20:12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.

What are these books that are mentioned?

I believe they are the 66 books of the KJB.

Thus we have all peoples, nations, languages and tongues, standing before the Judgement Seat, being read to from the KJB.

Thus if they speak Jacobean English in Heaven, I assume they spoke it on earth at first.

Just a speculation.

So, not only did they speak Jacobean English, but absolutely everyone managed to forget it for the next few thousand years - for there is not a single document in Early Modern English before about 1470 - until it evolved out of a mix of Low German and Scandinavian dialects with a bit of French and Latin thrown in.

Hmm... Let's have a look at that quote "out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works," i.e. they were judged by what they had done according to what was written in the books. So the books contained information about what the dead had done. Unless you appear in the Bible, AV1611VET, I doubt very much that "the books" are the books of the KJB. If you're going to be so firm on the KJV, perhaps you'd better learn to read Early Modern English a bit better.

"I believe they are the 66 books of the KJB."

There are 80 books in the King James Bible, Authorised Version of 1611, AV1611. If your KJB has 66 books in it, it's probably the 1769 Oxford Press re-edited text.

@Glandu: "Out of curiosity, I did check : he's right, KJB has 66 books."

It does now (most versions), but the original 1611 version of the KJB also included the 14 books of the apocrypha, for a total of 80.

AV's got such a hard-on for the "authentic word-o'-God" 1611 version that he thinks that the language it is written in is the one God speaks; and yet the jerk-off is apparently unaware that he's not even reading the original 1611 text, but a much later reworking of it. It's fucking hilarious.

And for added hilarity, here is the actual verse AV quoted from an actual 1611 edition of the bible he thinks he is quoting it from.

Interestingly, verses 6-7 of Rev 20 read as follows, "Blessed & holy is he that hath part in ye first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be Priests of God, and of Christ, and shall reigne with him a thousand yeeres. And when the thousand yeeres are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison, And shall goe out to deceiue the nations which are in the foure quarters of the earth, Gog & Magog, to gather them together to battell: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea."

You know, I'm guessing AV's KJB doesn't quite read the same.

Just a speculation.
