And like Alexander, they’ll probably write about Trump, as a powerful leader, in about 500 yrs from now. All accounts on Alexander were written 400-600 yrs after his reign. How accurate could it be? But people claim it as the gospel.
Oral information, for 500 yrs, and then gets written down. I see in no form or fashion that can be accurate. Literally impossible. Even that game people play, how quickly information gets changed. Now add a few centuries. The say history is written by those who’ve hanged there enemies. In this case even the enemies are dust. As far as we know, the man never existed.
It’s interesting we talked about this in church today. Even as American citizens, we cannot prove George Washington even existed. So what do we use? Written testimonies. People who were there, and touched him. Bled with him. And shared victories with him. History was made and wrote down. Not delayed for half a millennium.
I figured God’s word would come up. And the short answer is, why compare some character like Alexander, to the living God? Can you feel Alexander in your heart? Do you pray to him? Does your life change from studying and following him? Of course not. Let’s look at Jesus. His history and mission was not only written by those He saved, but by His enemies. And wasn’t saved for hundreds of years. The word was written in the same timeline as those who followed Him. The apostles. God’s plan was perfect. Still is. His word still reigns true today, and always will. Mans history isn’t even worth the paper it’s written on. It’ll all burn in the end. God is forever. And for those who follow Him. There is no comparison. Not for any man compared to God. So you’re very incorrect sir. Couldn’t be more wrong. Because you compared a man to God. Any other I could agree with more or less.
President Trump is likely the most powerful and cunning leader the world has known since Alexander the Great.

In a time when there were no books and oral tradition was the most powerful means to institutionalise knowledge? Quite

If we thought this way, Christianity would not have existed at all.
