By scientific definition, mustard is in the cabbage family. See any cabbage trees around lately?

Jesus used this as a proverbial statement to show how something so small can become so large in comparison of size.So you are claiming that Jesus the Jew new only as much as his fellow Jews. Fine by me.

Earliest known use was the Indus in about 3,000 BC giving rise to the Sumerian civilisation which proves that the Epic of Gilgamesh is more accurate that your holey babble.

The Jewish people prided themselves in being completely accurate in the retelling of stories so the meaning wouldn't be lost to the next generation. No communication doesn't work that way, spicing up a story to make it more interesting and less believable does though, you know like the stories the atheist here tell about the Word of God.Really? Then why do you not convert to Judaism? According to you, they must have the most accurate account. This, of course, means that Jesus the Jew was not the messiah or anything like it.
In other news, bible Adam and Eve never existed so that is a lie. Bible god came up with three different versions of the ten commandments and Jesus the Jew only cited 5 of those and everyone ignores the other 600 odd commandments except for Jesus who explicitly endorsed those very 600 commandments. Lies aplenty right there.
What about Gen 1? Why does it conflict with Gen 2? Why do both conflict with science?
How did Moses write a book describing his own funeral?
Then we have the problem of the three omnis...
Omnipotent - God is all powerful, sovereign.
Omniscience - God is all knowing all the time.
Omnipresent - God is everywhere at once.
The holey babble explicitly denies all three.
Omnipotent - Except if the enemy has iron chariots. An M1A1 Abrams could mess god up.
Omniscience - Useless god couldn't find Adam in the Garden of Eden.
Omnipresent - Would not have needed to search for Adam if true.
The bottom line here is that the bible is full of obvious lies and falsehoods.
