[QUOTE]Originally posted by Mike111: [QB] [b]Kalonji Quote: "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?" I see you are at least trying to be objective, but your method is wanting.[/b] A better "Rule of Thumb" is to "consider the source." From that you can make a determination of the value of the evidence presented. For example: many people "selectively" quote the Christian Bible (the New Testament). But this is a book written almost 2,000 years after the fact! The New Testament was published in 1961 A.D. The book that this "New Testament" is supposedly LOOSELY based upon, was the Greek Bible called the "Septuagint". The original version of this book was "Supposedly" written with the help of Hebrews - but that version was quickly rewritten. The first of the many versions of this book was written in 282 B.C. Problem is, all VERSIONS of this book have been lost for a long time. Which of course Begs the question: HOW COULD SUCH A SUPPOSEDLY IMPORTANT DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN LOST! The Protestant Bible in English - the King James Bible was first published in 1611 A.D. The ONLY religious documents VERIFIABILITY written by Hebrews, are the "Dead Sea Scrolls". [b]The Dead Sea were found to contain tens of thousands of scroll fragments dating from app. 300 B.C. to 68 A.D. and representing an estimated eight hundred separate works. The Dead Sea Scrolls comprise a vast collection of Hebrew documents written in Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek, and encompassing many subjects and literary styles. They include manuscripts or fragments of every book in the Hebrew Bible except the Book of Esther, all of them created nearly one thousand years earlier than any previously known biblical manuscripts. The scrolls also contain the earliest existing biblical commentary on the Book of Habakkuk, and many other writings, among them religious works pertaining to Hebrew sects of the time. The Dead Sea Scrolls offer unprecedented information about Hebrew religious and political life in Judea during the turbulent late Second Temple Period (200 B.C. to A.D. 70), a time of great corruption and conflict under Roman rule in Judea. Scholars estimate that the Dead Sea Scrolls were hidden in A.D. 68, when Roman legions reached the Dead Sea during the emperor Vespasian's campaign to Jericho. The discovery of the scrolls established that Hebrew culture was far richer and more diverse at this time, than scholars had previously believed. Three main groups of Hebrews were prominent during the late Second Temple Period: the Pharisees, the Sadducees, and the Essenes. Many other sects and political parties also flourished. This pluralism ended in 70 A.D, when six years after the start of the First Hebrew Rebellion, the Romans sieged Jerusalem, killing or enslaving half the Hebrew population and destroying Herod's Temple. The capitol fell to the Romans, and only the Judaism of the dominant Pharisees survived. The scrolls also shed light on the time when Jesus and John the Baptist lived and early Christians began to organize. Specifically, they offer evidence that early Christian beliefs and practices had precedents in the Hebrew sects of the time. Sectarian scrolls tell of people who, like the early Christians, did not believe in the Temple worship of the Pharisees, people who had their own literature, their own rituals—including baptism—and their own beliefs, most significantly beliefs in a messiah, a divine judgment, and an apocalypse. Three different scrolls depict a sacred meal of bread and wine. These similarities as well as parallels between the literary style of certain scrolls and that of the New Testament have led some scholars to claim that Jesus and John the Baptist were either part of, or strongly influenced by a sect at the Dead Sea. But no direct link has been established, and it is likely that similarities can be attributed to each being derived from a like strain of Judaism. Still, this debate has furthered speculation about the historical Jesus, such as the claim that he was a Zealot rather than a pacifist, a theory that does not fit with New Testament tradition but does fit with the history of this period (note: Jesus is NOT mentioned in the scrolls). And one of the most important discoveries in the scrolls has been the use of the name “Son of God” to refer to someone other than Jesus, implying a cultural use of the term that was not itself synonymous with God.[/b] To summarize; What little that we know of the Dead Sea Scrolls, seems to conflict with traditional "White" interpretations of the Hebrew religions. For this reason, the White Catholics and Jews/Khazars who have control of these documents, will NEVER allow us to read them. BTW - The Assyrian depictions of Hebrews posted above, can be assumed to be accurate, simply because the Assyrians - unlike Whites - had no reason to do anything other than present an accurate depiction. [b]This wall painting, depicting the Healing of the Paralytic, is the earliest known representation of Jesus, dating from about 235 AD. The painting was found in 1921 on the left-hand wall of the baptismal chamber of the house-church at Dura-Europos on the Euphrates River in modern Syria. It is now part of the Dura Europos collection at the Yale University Gallery of Fine Arts.
