Oh yeah, so then where did Bathsheba live?

If your God were Hebrew ( and , I have every reason to believe she/he was and the Mother Goddess is the Virgin Mary, do you suppose your God took communion and became Catholic? This could account for the reason he/she has been missing for 1000's of years and forsook the Jews in the Nazi era.

Step away from the suicide-bomb vest.

Not long ago a historian said that in another 2000 years people will be saying the same about Washington, Jefferson and Lincoln.

If we can recreate our world in such a way that FDR, LBJ, Carter and Klintoon didn't exist, it would be a hell of a start!

to the Hebrews who asked my God of his identity he replied "I am". I Am was in existence long before there were Hebrews. The Virgin Mary became a natural mother after the birth of Christ. We are never instructed by scripture to worship her and there is no record of the early church doing so. God abandoned the Jews when Titus invaded Jerusalem. Those who died in the Holocaust(and this in no way is a defense for the murder of more than 6 million people) were not Jews. The Diaspora sent many jews to a area beneath the black sea where their national identity was lost thru intermarriage. The migration to Poland came about as a result of the invasions of the Rus into these areas.

I love your tag line. Just had a "birds and bees" refresher talk with my 18 year old daughter. She got it.

Let's not forget the Askinazi and Kazar tribes who converted to Judaism and bore the brunt of Nazi agression.

The Nazis also killed all the Shephardic jews they could find.

[Blogger]

WOW! Outstanding!

[kublia khan]

My point exactly the vast majority of those killed as Jews in the Holocaust were in fact Kazars. The ruler of the kazars after a thorough examination of Christianity, Islam and Judaism embraced the latter in a political maneuver and forced the conversion of his nation to same.

Kenyon wrote that this capital, along with other cut stones she found there, were “typical of the best period of Israelite building, during which the use of Phoenician craftsman was responsible for an exotic flowering of Palestinian architecture.

Say what?

What is the reason for Kenyon using the Roman designation of Phoenician/Philistine in this context?

Mistake?

[wagglebee]

I didn't even catch that part. The article may be written by a liberal pro-PLO Israeli.

Thanks Waggs.

"If she is right, this would mean a reconsideration of the archeological record with regard to the early First Temple period. It would also deal a deathblow to the revisionist camp, whose entire theory is predicated on the absence of evidence in Jerusalem from this period."

The revisionist camp followers were born brain dead.

I think we've got something in GGG about this, but will add to the keywords, then go find out if it needs to be pinged.

Excuse me, but there's another religious point of view on this, plus you are dead wrong on the history of the Jews.

First of all, the Torah is VERY explicit that G-d will NEVER abandon the Jews. However, just as a child is punished by a loving parent for misbehaving (this is known as tough love), so can the children of G-d be punished for the same reason. G-d, through Moses in the Book of Deuteronomy, was very explicit about this, and also about NEVER abandoning the covenant that He made with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob regarding their descendants. Before the 2nd Temple fell, as was the case with the 1st, many Jews ceased to obey G-d's Law (or began to worship other "gods"), and as a result He removed His protection from the Jews and allowed them to be subject to the normal forces of history. Being a small nation, and a fractured one at that, in both cases the nation fell to more numerous/powerful opponents. However, G-d was very explicit in promising to never let the Jews be completely destroyed, and in promising that eventually, when the Jewish people repented and began to once again observe His laws as put forth in the Torah, that they would be redeemed and rewarded.

As to the nonsense about the victims of the Nazis not being Jews, it is just that - NONSENSE! Many, many Jews fled the destruction of the 2nd Temple to Egypt, to Italy and to Spain. Many also went to the then large Jewish communities in and around what is now Iraq (i.e. the place where the Jews were exiled to after the destruction of the 1st Temple, and from which many of their descendants never left). Many of these refugees, who indeed DID retain their religious character, later moved to France, then to Germany, then to Poland and to Russia. Most of these moves were less than voluntary - they were a matter of simple survival, as crusaders and debtors of the Jews found it far more convenient to either murder or exile the Jews than to have them stay around.

Undoubtedly, SOME Jews fled to the Black Sea region, and undoubtedly some of them intermarried and lost their heritage (as has been the case with all to many Jews in almost every land in almost every era), but a remnant remains - and always will, since G-d promises such in Deuteronomy.

Kublia Khan, you are SERIOUSLY misinformed, both about religion and about history. Go read a few books, including a Jewish version of the Bible. Maybe you'll learn something.

[Bellflower]

Amen.
