Made in Alexandria: The Origin of the Yahweh Cult

[Aractus]

Whoever owns this website grants me the right to post. I assume that is not you.

Why don't you read the rules - specifically rule 3.

Are you seriously telling me you meant to say ink WAS scraped off and destroyed? Please confirm that is what you meant. And then confirm you meant ink was preserved for two centuries and then reconstituted for use on one scroll. Please confirm you are that desperate.

I'm not DESPERATE for anything.

Does your "seniority" here incite you to post more believer nonsense? Or does it just piss you off I do not respect you in any way by virtue of your first posts to be being insulting, juvenile and designed to promote your pretend superiority.

Your attempts to discredit people on the basis of their beliefs is irritable. I don't care what you believe - I've given you all the clear evidence that proves that the LXX is "a" (or rather a "collection of") translation/s of the 22 Hebrew scripture scrolls, you have wafer thin evidence for your argument that the Hebrew is translated from the LXX. It is nothing short of arrogant to assert that your position is correct in the face of all the hard available evidence.

Just a few posts back you were claiming there were only 22 books. Did you multiply by a trinity?

You know exactly what I'm saying don't play dumb.

I will see your 'totally incorrect' and raise you a 'totally correct.' Do you have a substantive response?

Here's your claim: "The bible was chained to the pulpit not so the people could not read it but because of its value in terms of cost of replacement."

WHEN do you suppose the "Bible" was "chained to the pulpit"?

As you have presented no physical evidence I can only conclude you are incapable of grasping the concept of physical evidence.

You're a liar.

Physical evidence is this:

1. Virtually identical Hebrew texts found at Qumrum compared with Masoretic Text. HAS NOT BEEN INTENTIONALLY ALTERED.
2. SEVEN mss of the book of Daniel recovered, all are completely consistent with the Hebrew/Aramaic/Hebrew structure of the books - some containing the relevant sections of text that transfer from one language to the other.
3. Samaritan Pentateuch - need I say more.
4. The NAME OF GOD - written as the Tetragrammaton - which is only in Hebrew manuscripts of the OT and NOT IN ANY GREEK VERSIONS!
5. Transliteration of Hebrew names into greek or other languages - and there are plenty of examples of this.

Is you can show me a single inscription in stone of bible verses found by real arkies in bibleland you will have my attention.

That's not the scientific method. You don't demand to see something specific - you observe - take note of what you observe - and then interperate what your observations mean. You don't claim "I didn't find what I was specifically looking for"!

But do not let me stop you from juvenile insults and supercilious posts regarding your own opinion of yourself. They are likely the only good things anyone says about you. If you want a compliment you have to do it yourself.

FUCK YOU.
