    it's written in tradition.
    Well forgive me, I am curious. I don't recall Rachel or her family praying to idols, and would like confirmation.

    anyways, i think you should concentrate on defending your own stories on Jesus, and leaving the Torah alone.
    I am not attacking the Torah. I am relying on it as well.

      I was just wondering what your opinions or others were of this take on astrological periods being a form of historical periodization used by Moses, Jesus and other Biblical figures.
      It's an anachronism. Even Christ is older than the zodiac which is a roman invention by Ptolemy, let alone the patriarchs.

      Of course it does date back to the Babylonians, but the system as we know it now is from Ptolemy.

        Just out of curoiiosity, can you give proof that they didn't
        With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

          I posed a question to you earlier, as to why you thought I believed that the only correct biblical translation was in English?

          I've never said such a thing.

            BC, I'm trying to keep out of this, but asking for proof that someone didn't say something is kind of ludicrous.

              But how can you then say that the words of an english bible is the correct vrsion ?

                Njah, when it comes to what someone did or didn't some 2000 years ago, both kind of proof is nessecary.

                  I would say it's a faithful translation of the original Greek, Aramaic and Hebrew. It is correct, but it is not the only correct version.

                    I simply said I am unaware of any evidence showing that Rachel and her family prayed to idols, and would appreciate seeing the attested evidence.

                      That is pure BS. Either it's correct or it isn't.

                      • No, it's not. It's stupid today and it's stupid 2000 years ago. What are you going to do, see if anyone ever spoke of it ever? Good luck. With the way things are today, like studies to show that an elephant stepping on you may lead to trauma, I'm sure you can get around 17 mil grant for the next 3 years.

                          So if there are no recorded evidence that they did so, they didn't ?

                            Yeah, "I haven't beaten my wife the last ten days" certainly prooves that I didn't do it regularily the previous 20 years

                            • I haven't seen anything saying KH doesn't jack off bulls. Does that mean he does? Not that it would be a big surprise, but you see my point. Why deny something that hasn't been accused?

                              As far as wife beating, look at your context. Did the worship ever happen, or did he beat his wife over the last 2 years, when clearly it should ask if he ever beat his wife. You're making no progress.
