Most people haven't. Too consumed with digging trenches and defending turf.

Maybe. Maybe not. Looks like another faith based presumption. Whether there is or isn't, getting from there to here appears to be impossible, according to the Fermi Paradox.

Exactly my point. Still doesn't get one to the moon.

Religion is a map. Menus and meals. Fingers pointing, and the moon.

Touch the grass. I heard that one recently, and gotta say I agree. We all need to get out of our heads and touch the grass.

OK, so...what? When you stand before the Great White Throne Judgement and G!d asks you what you have done for His children, what will you tell Him? Since we are all, every one, G!ds children, and G!d said "It is Very Good," and you are not to judge lest you be judged in the same manner, will...

If this were the yardstick to measure by, surely the Aramaic Bible / Peshitta (and to also note @Thomas) within the social context would be the only translation without error. Not only within the words, but within the social fabric. This is why I lean to the Interlinear complimented by...

Then we have the matter of systemic education within a culture: emphasis mine, -jt3 Wiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_education_in_ancient_Israel_and_Judah ibid The title Rabbi equivocates with "teacher."

"Newtonian Physics" is so common a reference I am amazed I have to spell it out. How about Franz Mesmer, and his contributions to animal magnetism / hypnosis? Or do you not believe in hypnosis? Psychoanalysis is divided between Freudian and Jungian branches. Evolution has Linnean...

By both sides, even armchair adherents. So many "evolutionists" who do not work in the field talk out of their nether regions. It's one thing not to know or understand, it is another to grasp tightly to erroneous teachings...and that goes BOTH ways.

This matter has been argued before here, with me on your side. I am not easily swayed. Ask @RabbiO.

That's beside the point. You were taking umbrage with Evolution being called Darwinism. So what? Darwin was the first major proponent of the discipline...its his baby. No big deal in my eyes. It isn't a slur.

The Septuagint is contrary evidence, not only was the Jewish Bible available in Hebrew prior to Jesus, the Greek translation was ALSO available during the same period, which is the time you are referencing. Literacy was prevalent, certainly among the merchant class and above, and likely reached...

Sorry if I seem pedantic, but what about Newtonian Physics, do you take issue with that nomenclature? It isn't at all uncommon for a discipline to be named for one of its most ardent proponents.

But this isn't accurate. The Maccabees prayed (and cleansed the Temple, the Hannukah Holy Days are in remembrance of this) *AND* fought and threw off the yoke of their oppressor...Antiochus Epiphanes. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maccabees A couple generations later the Romans got cozy, and...

Your statement was "Christ fulfilled a pattern" Hebrews 5:6 - "As he saith also in another place, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec." This was referencing Psalms 110:4, which pointed to Genesis 14:18-20 The Maccabean Incident...your words...predate Christ by well over...

This is erroneous assumption. The Hebrew alphabet is one of the earliest, and among the oldest still extant. You may possibly be referencing the Dark Ages, when the Church took upon itself to keep the masses in ignorance.

Your religion is for you, my experience is for me.

The Good Lord giveth, and the Good Lord taketh away...Blessed be the name of the Lord.
