Dear Paul,

>Yes, the Hebrews were from Akkadian and Sumerian stock just like us. Their own histories tell us this. They say Oraham came from Beth-Nahrin - why should I doubt them? Otherwise, where did the similiarities come from as far as language, looks, etc?

....Of coure they're going to claim descent from the rockerfellers of their day just as our Christians claim descent from the ancient Assyrians. It added lustre to their name then and our name today.
What did you expect them to say that Abraham was kicked out of Ur because he begot with his sister? They can't very well tell the world that the father of their religion was a pervert can they?

>I wouldn't cop-out Khizma, but for your information the books of Revelations has never been part of the Peshitta. The Peshitta includes only 22 books (ex. Rev., 2 & 3rd John, 2Peter and Jude).

....Paul if the Muslims statedd that the Haddith isn't a part of the Koran and that the virgins awaiting in heaven are therefore not a part of Islam you'd claim that was a cop-out. So please uderstand that I see you dropping the OT and now the Book of Revelation as very convenient. It's up there with claiming that the Pope wasn't a real Christian when he allowed the Jews to be cooked and the gold fillings extracted from their dead corpses in WW2.

>>2 Do not add to what I command you and do not subtract from it, but keep the commands of the LORD your God that I give you. (Deuteronomy 4:2 The Holy Bible, New International Version)

>Yes, but this is direct revelation from him in Deuteronomy and not speaking of the pre-Hebrew stories contained in Genesis.
>
>>5 "Every word of God is flawless; he is a shield to those who take refuge in him. 6 Do not add to his words, or he will rebuke you and prove you a liar. (Proverbs 30:5-6 The Holy Bible, New International Version)

......Paul the Bible is the word of God. These quotes specifically state that his word is flawless. I am simply hanging Christianity with its own rope. Think about it? How can the word of God which makes up the WHOLE Bible claim to be flawless when it's not even ORIGINAL?
And please don't start cutting out more chapters of the Bible to justify your position and belief in the validity of what clearly is a plagarised and anti-Assyrian book.

>Khouna, the story of Noah in the Bible which the Hebrews who were originally from Beth-Nahrin preserved, is not words from God's mouth. This is a faithful version of that legend preserved by Noah. In no way does it say in Genesis that "God said: Here is the story of Noah, etc."
>

.....I could say the same thing about Mohhammad and the 72 virgins awaiting a warrior in heaven.


>The OT is very clear on what is being spoken of by God and on the other hand what is narrative and story being written by the author.
>

......So is the Koran and the Haddith but to the average Christian he can't distinguish between the word of the prophet Mohammad and the word of the Jewish God Yawheh.

>The story of Utnapishtim has nothing to do with God's covenant with the Hebrew Mesopotamian lineage. It predates the covenant, in fact.
>

...Proverbs 30:5-6 states that the word of the Jewish God is flawless. How can you believe in that very same word when evidence proves that their holy book is plagarised? And don't tell me they were of the same ancestry line and spoke the same language etc.
>"If anyone adds to them" is pointing back to the first clause in the sentence...."the words of the prophecy of *this* book" - surely you realize that Revelation was written outside of the book of Genesis, don't you?
>

.....OK I'll let you off the hook on the Book of Revelation provided you also show the same respect to Islam's 72 virgins waiting in heaven line.

>
>Anyway, I fail to see your point here. Why is it a problem that the descendants of the Mesopotamians Oraham and Sara preserved a beautiful story from their Mesopotamian culture?

......They spoke our language and went to our universities and libraries where plagarised our book......granted.......that's why we have so much in common with them, BUT they added a strange twist to them.
1. They claimed them to be the word of their God Yawheh.
2. They took an anti-Assyrian stance towards their so-called ancestors.
How can these two FACTS be reconciled with the Christian religion?
