"There are such social values today in Europe, America & Australia only because during those 1,000 years, Christians of Europe possessed the warlike power to do what the Christians of Asia & Africa failed to do, that is, to beat back the Moslem invader" -Theodore Roosevelt-1916
"The CIVILIZATION of Europe, America and Australia exists today at all only because of the victories of civilized man over the enemies of CIVILIZATION, because of victories stretching through the centuries from Charles Martel in the 8th century and those of John Sobieski in the 17th century. During the thousand years that included the careers of the Frankish soldier and the Polish king, the Christians of Asia and Africa proved unable to wage successful war with the Moslem conquerors; and in consequence Christianity practically vanished from the two continents; and today nobody can find in them any 'social values' whatever, in the sense in which we use the words, so far as the sphere of Mohammedan influences are concerned ..." President Theodore Roosevelt - 1916
Not bad, now if only Teddy had of had a thorough understanding of the U.S. Constitution we would be better off today. Unfortunately when you elect a Progressive for president you can't expect them to adhere to the Law of the Land.
I somewhat agree with this.
I think that someone should get a good education based on it as early in life as they can. Then just go to school to learn the thing they want to learn.

So do you read Greek and Hebrew? This is a rabbit hole that I have been trying to go down for a while.
Thank you. Excellent write up.
The new moon is how they determined the beginning of a new month. It was originally done by observation, but is now done by calculation.
"Moon" and "month" are from the same root word, thus not really different.
Not so. The Israelites used the calendar of wherever they were at the time. They used the Egyptian calendar, then the Canaanite calendar, then the Babylonian calendar, all lunar. This goes back almost 4,000 years. See the various works by Gérard Gertoux on chronology of ancient people. Info about him is here: https://univ-lyon2.academia.edu/GerardGERTOUX/CurriculumVitae and the same site has some of his works available for download.
BTW, I've been studying chronology and calendars for 50 years. How about you?
You are mixing unlike things. The real Jews are descendants of Israelites, but not all of the descendants. Based on many things, including DNA, the Israelites spread through parts of Europe. For example, my male line goes back to Germany in the 1500s, but my Y-DNA goes back to central Asia and is semitic.
What is this "God's calendar"? The religious calendar was lunar, and the civil calendar was solar. There's not much evidence of anything before the flood other than the first few chapters of Genesis. And it wasn't that long after the flood, historically speaking, when Abraham and his people went to Egypt. There was back and forth with Egypt until the exodus.
I haven't read that in particular, but I do know that most "Jews" in Israel, based on random DNA testing, are not Semitic. They are mostly German.
I have German ancestry, but my Y-DNA goes back eventually to central Asia and is Semitic.
I think Turkistan is meant rather than Turkey, as the Khazars were supposed to come from Kazakhstan in central Asia.
Thse days, almost anything is better than a college "education."
What would this pedo know about the bible?
This rings more and more true the more I read the Bible and apply it to my life. What a blessing it is to have access to God's word and to be reborn in Christ. Anyone who is curious should purchase a Bible, believe Jesus died and rose to redeem them, and see what happens. God is mighty to save, and He works in us things that we could never even imagine.
