[QUOTE]Originally posted by Kalonji: [QB] Lets examine all the evidence assembled so far so we can all have a look at the evidence, and allow people to make up for themselves whether they believe 1.Jesus had tropical affinities 2.The Hebrews as a nation had tropical affinities But before we do this, I think it's wise to evaluate what is hard evidence and what is not. I make a distinction between clues and clear, hard evidence like for example, skeletal evidence. To me, coins, texts and other art are all clues and not evidence because of the following reasons -Desriptions like all other artwork is subject to interpretation, not only on our end, but also on the creators end. -The coins have been made well after the death of Jesus, 400 a.d. -The coins and descriptions could also be the result of Romans reading from the same arguments Brada is using: that the scripture says that Jesus had hair like wool (without indicating what aspect of wool) and feet like brass. So you may be using it as ANOTHER piece of evidence, while it could be derrived from the same text you're reading from. I'm not saying this is the case, just saying it could be, since they, just like us had to rely on the bible for clues about the way Jesus looked -Personal believes of people like Tacticus who are talking about the origin of the Hebrews. This is something that took place way before he and his people ever knew the Hebrews. Furthermore, he doesn't say on what he is basing this belief, the types he's speaking of could just as well be remnants of the Natufians. It wouldn't be honest if I didn't say that I too, have previously used arguments that fall within the ''clue'' category. -The ''change his skin'' passage in Jeremia -The ''I am black but comely'' passage in Songs of Solomon Before we go on with counting and juxtapositioning all the evidence presented by both parties so far in one comment, do you agree with my viewpoint that personal believes and descriptions reflected in texts, art are susceptable to individual interpration and should therefore be viewed as ''clues'' instead of cold hard evidence?
