Thanks for the reply, Neko. I was actually wondering if the Bible is internally consistent, or if the authors of its books contradict each othe in some significant way. Many say its pages are replete with such contradictions. I'm wondering exactly what these are so I may examine them for myself.
Please call me Kichi!.... Neko = cat in romaji Japanese.
As for the babble...research it for your self is the best way. I did and followed up on the many belief systems prevalent at that time period and before. You will find a continuity only of imaginary friends and fiends. As for the rest?? Well Min is the best exponent of history we have here on this site (not to diminish the contributions of pad and others), take note of his/ their references and follow them through.
Cheers
Kichi
