[QUOTE]Originally posted by homeylu: [QB] Originally posted by neo*geo [b] All the history of the Hebrews was passed orally until they decided to write it down.[/b] Since you bring up the subject, know that the Lemba tribe were not in posession of a single Hebrew text, as their rituals were carried out primarily based on "oral history". They have maintained their Jewish ancestry through "oral" tradition as well. Much of this was dismissed by earlier observers who accused them of "memorizing missionary teaching", mind you these missionaries were Christian not Jewish. This oral tradition was validated with DNA evidence. And if you don't mind I'd like to point out that I believe a lot of the Hebrew traditions were possibly borrowed from the Egyptians but there are entirely too many events that took place in the Bible that have been shown to actually have taken place: 1. Geological evidence of a flood 2. Exodus from Egypt after the Hyskos reign 3. Tomb of Joseph found in Shechem Joshua 24:32 "A few years ago the tomb was opened. It was found to contain a body mummified according to the Egyptian custom, and in the tomb, among other things, was a sword of the kind worn by Egyptian officials." 4. Moses was more likely an Egyptian General (not difficult to fathom) 5.Excavations unearthed at Tell ed-Dab'a showing artifacts that didnt conform to Egyptian typology, but did conform to Palestinian typology-evidence they were in Egypt 6.The garden of Eden where men are reported to be created is almost in the exact location where Archaeologist found the oldest form of human life. 7. Discovery of 10,000 clay tablets at a site in Turkey that proved the Ancient Hitite empire existed. 8.Israeli archaeologists discovered an inscription that referred to the royal dynasty David 9. The Dead Sea scrolls discovered 10. 2 gray cylinders discovered in Jeruselem carbon dated 6th century B.C. at a time the Hebrews supposedly couldnt write, which contained Hebraic Characters with Bibblical verses. I could honestly go on and on, but you like many others have taken the position to "dismiss the Bible, until proven true" rather than the position of the "faithful" who choose to accept it as true, until is has been "proven false". And last but not least who are we to dismiss Biblical claims, when over half of what is considered "scientific evidence" is nothing more than "theories" that only last until the next "theory" disproves it. Yet scientist like Darwin has been proven wrong, while the most recent discoveries of oldest Human remains were found in none other than Ethiopia/Cush-where the Bible places the Garden of Eve. Did these anthropologist that decided to dig in the area know something we didnt know? Something that make me say, hmmmmm. Its all in the interpretation and the translations. I dont want to get into a religious debate because they are much more inconclusive than racial debates, so I'll leave it with: you believe as you wish, and others will believe as they wish. Whose to say whose wrong or right, I mean really, is the glass half full, or half empty? [/QB][/QUOTE]
