What a pretentious bit of pedantic fluff that was. What do you know of early Jewish writing?

Who cares? There wasn't a significant thought in history until Socrates came about and only him and those that followed and developed his ideas need to be respected philosophically. Everybody else was just a joke.

Those initial articles are a bloated waste of time.

Judaism, like Christianity or any other religion is complete crap. I'm not going to respect anyone until they stop perpetuating these religious isms by creating excuses to believe in things that probably don't exist. A whole bunch of blah blah blah. Drop your stupid rabbis and priests and whatever other cornhole bankyard philosophers you respect for no reason and just be logical and scientific.

Given such pathetic arrogance and ignorance, it's rather doubtful that your 'respect' should be given much weight.

Well said. Lots of substance in your last two posts.

Archeology provides many tangible clues which suggest that Judaism, the church's version of christianity & the original purpose of Islam were all just a ploy by some to control others.

In King Solomon's day, Israel was a divided nation. The southern kingdom belonged to Judah and the northern kingdom belonged to ten various tribes of Israel. According to 1 Kings 12, the northern kingdom of Israel wasn't too enamored with Judaism as a religion. They revolted during the reign of King Rehoboam (King Solomon's son) because they had had enough of high taxes and religious duty.

There is some evidence that seems to indicate that many of the northern Israelites migrated into Europe following the revolt. At the time of the Assyrian invasion in 721BC, many had already left. Certain archeologists claim that the Assyrians left records of the numbers of those who they had captured inscribed in stone. Contrary to popular belief, these records show that the Assyrians only captured a few thousand of the people who would become known as the 10 lost tribes of Israel.

At the beginning of the Common Era, Romans were well aware of an area situated in the Carpathian mountains in eastern Europe known as the "Naphtali Hills". Naphtali, of course, was the name of one of the
northern tribes of Israel. Could the people who inhabited this area (at the time) really be from that Israelite kingdom who became disenchanted with Judaism?

The Roman writer Tacitus documented the identity of many tribes within the realm of the Roman Empire during this time in history. Perhaps he left many more clues than meets the eye at first glance.

Then you should have no problem presenting and defending the "tangible clues", but I doubt it. My recommendation would be that you resist parading such childish drivel as if it were fact.

What a pathetic fraud ...

Speaking of the Naphtali Hills ...

Jayhawker soule:

I said archeology provided tangible clues. I didn't say that the supposed theory was fact. I was more or less trying to convey the fact, that in old testament times, northern Israelites were disenchanted with the religion of Judaism imposed on them by the southern kingdom of Judah. Even 1 King 12 admits that. By the way, the "Naphtali Hills" that I mentioned were in the Carpathian mountains in eastern Europe, not Lebanon.
