I know his odd view of history. I also know his tricks, and this one is to give cover to another fellow with an idiosyncratic form of biblical literalism.

(AV, you don't need to reply to my post. I know you think A&E were created speaking and that evolution doesn't happen. Just stay out of my conversation with other people.)

What??? :scratch:

They all spoke one language until Babel, where that one language they all spoke disappeared.

Then linguistic evolution kicked in after that.

But prior to Babel, no, there was no linguistic evolution going on.

I have infinite overwhelming evidence that the Bible is true.
You have CLAIMS but I challenge you to provide evidence to support the claims of the Bible.

And you speak of me having no evidence.
The proof is in the pudding. God watches over HIS word to perform it. (Jeremiah 1:12) People that do not know the word of God, do not know how to get results. If people have no evidence they do not know God and they do not know the word of God. As they use to say: "No ticky no washy". If you don't have a ticket, password or key, you do not get in the door. Not even your big toe.

Its like how christianity does not translate
into Chinese culture.
Archetypes are universal. That is why they have a Disney parks in Japan and Hong Kong. Most people do not know that letters have a symbolic meaning and a numeric value. At least they do in the Hebrew.

According to Jewish tradition, the Hebrew language is considered to have a divine origin. It is believed that God spoke to Adam and Eve in Hebrew and that the language was used by Abraham, Moses, and other biblical figures to communicate with God. Additionally, the Hebrew language is considered sacred in Judaism, and the study and use of Hebrew is seen as an important part of Jewish religious practice.

As best I can parse your previous posts (and it isn't easy sometimes)
Easy to solve. I easily run it through AI to correct any problems and make it more readable. Do you want it translated for a fifth-grade learning level or 8th-grade level? Or name a person and I can give the information to you from that perspective. My wife likes Celine.

What scrolls? Care to show me one of those 3200 year-old scrolls.
From a Hasidic perspective, the Torah is the central text of the Jewish tradition and is considered to be the divine source of all Jewish law and teachings. The Torah is seen as a source of spiritual guidance and inspiration, and the study of the Torah is considered a central religious obligation for Jews.

In Hasidic thought, the Torah is not just seen as a historical or legal document, but is also seen as an embodiment of the divine will and wisdom. The letters and words of the Torah are believed to contain hidden spiritual meanings and dimensions, and the study of Torah is seen as a means of connecting with God and achieving spiritual enlightenment.

Hasidic teachings place a strong emphasis on the inner, mystical dimension of the Torah and the practice of "hitbonenut," or contemplation, in the study of Torah is considered essential for spiritual growth. In this sense, the Torah is not just a text to be studied and learned, but a tool for spiritual transformation and a means of experiencing a deeper connection with God.

I'm KJB all the way.
As I told you I am a descendant of the translator that was Bloody Mary's first maryter. So in a way, the KJV is in my blood. All the others are just commentaries.

And I'm a descendent of Leif Erikson, likely the first European to ever set foot in North America, and the son of Erik the Red, the first European to set up a settlement in Greenland. What's your point? Your ancestor many centuries removed from you decides for you what translation of the Bible you ought to trust? That's odd.

God's translation sequence, as I see it, is:

1. AV330 Gothic Version
2. AV700 Anglo-Saxon Version
3. AV1389 Wycliffe
4. AV1525 Tyndale
5. AV1560 Geneva Bible
6. AV1568 Bishop's Bible
7. AV1611 King James Bible

That is interesting. Maybe there is a lot more to this common ancestor thing than people realize. In Europe, pedigrees were very important and everyone wanted to trace their family back to a well-known person. Our family goes back to 800 ad. There are no written records before that. They were destroyed.

4. AV1525 Tyndale
After Tyndale was betrayed and executed in 1536, he took over and worked on what Tyndale had done. He had 12 kids and they all rejoiced that he was counted worthy to give his life for what he believed in.

I'm honestly beginning to wonder if you're a bot.

I have boxes full of obsolete stuff if you are into the old way of doing things.
I use a chat bot sometimes because that is the new search engine. Google is old and obsolete.
This post was half cut and paste and half I wrote.

It's more the fact that you reply to the smallest tidbit that anyone talks about with a strange amount of information that is not at all relevant to what anyone has said.
