I won't address every errancy you made in your diatribe of Jesus and elsewhere. I will say however, it is a well known fact of scholars the written ancient (paleo-Hebrew) is lost in antiquity though. This is why the Old Testament was transliterated into Kione Greek in 285 BC. Since paleo-Hebrew lacked vowels and was dependent on oral interpretation that was rigorously learned through a life time of training from the many learned priests, it was carefully passed down from generation to generation of new priests. Since the Levant was at the hub of trade existing between 3 continents during the time of Greek influence, it became the 'world language' throughout the region. Since trade was at the very center of life in the Levant everyone spoke Greek. As a result, Israelites, who were already a great minority throughout the region, the written paleo-Hebrew was under threat of being completely lost. According to tradition,Ptolemy Philadelphus, who purchased the freedom of Israelites in his territories, arranged for 6 scholars from each of the 12 tribes to translate the first five books of the Old Testament from the ancient Hebrew into Greek around 285 BC. By this time, a practical knowledge of the Hebrew language was all but lost among the Hellenized Israelite citizens.
So Ptolemy gathered 72 scholars in Alexandria, Egypt and they completed the Pentateuch (first five Books of the OT). The Latin name 'Septuagint', meaning 70, was later, applied to the translation. Both 'The Letter of Aristeas', who was an assistant of Ptolemy and the historian Flavius Josephus record in detail the history of the making of the Septuagint. It is unclear when the rest of the OT was finished in the Septuagint, but it was certainly finished by 150 BC. The original Hebrew OT are now lost in antiquity.
Much later in the 10th Century AD, Phariseeic scholars called the ’Masoretes’ used the Greek Septuagint to reverse engineer it from a family of languages that are Semitic. With the original Hebrew OT being lost, the Masoretes depended on the existing Afro-asiatic language family (Arabic) and Aramaic to successfully 'revive' a dead language that is commonly referred to as 'Neo-Hebtrew'. Like Arabic, Neo-Hebrew uses vowel points.
Even Wikipedia admits to modern Hebrew as being a revived dead language.
And the Masoretes did this using the Greek Septuagint as their guide. So, anyone like Mauro Biglino is knowledgeable of Neo-Hebrew and not ancient Hebrew that was lost in antiquity.
The word Jew is an English word originally referring to those Eastern European people who spoke Yiddish. Even the Yiddish people did not view themselves as Israelites. The word 'Jew' certainly did not exist during the Roman times. Rome referred to the region as 'Judea' and those people of the region as 'Judeans'. It is no coincidence that the ancient Greeks prior to the Romans called the region 'Idumea' meaning land of the Edomites. King Herod himself was an Edomite. One doesn't rise to power of a king unless there is an ethnic kinship representing those people. Then we have this from the Jewish Encyclopedia, 1925 edition, Vol. 5, Page 41, which states -- "Edom is in modern Jewry". This word has been intermingled with the words 'Israelite', 'Judahite', 'Judean', 'pharisee', and 'Edomite' for over 400 years. It's use in the Bible is ambiguous and needs to be deciphered for every verse that it is used. Some times it refers to the Roman province of Judea, other times it refers more accurately to Edomites. Other times it references 'Israelites". Another example to the gross misappellation is the name -- 'Welsh'. This is an English word deriving from High German 'wallische' meaning 'strangers'. How utterly absurd for the alien German Angles to call the aborigine Brit population 'strangers'. The 'Welsh' call themselves among each other 'Khumri'. The Jews do not refer to themselves as Israelites. In the 1980 Jewish Almanac, 1st chapter "Identity Crisis" and also found in the Jewish Encyclopedia IV, 1902, p 335), it states -- "Strictly speaking, it is incorrect to call an ancient Israelite a 'Jew' or to call a contemporary Jew an 'Israelite' or a 'Hebrew'".
I can watch "Ancient Aliens" on television to get the "alien" thing. Most of their-- "Was it extraterrestrials?" is plain crap. It's obvious it's an agenda attempting to lead people astray. Your polemic is straight out of the Talmud. Nothing is new. What I gave you is historical fact backed up by the tests of historiography. It's incontrovertible and the majority opinion. What you provided is not. I'm moving on to more fertile topics. This one is a wrap for me.
I don't watch ancient aliens and no you won't research he points I mentioned cos you are too wrapped up in your self important I know everything attitude.
It doesn't matter to me..this is coming out whether you or the church like it or not
