The name of Jesus

[pfw]

Forgot one point I meant to make- re Sumerian, Hebrew, Egyptian language;
Sumerian came first, then Hebrew. Then, later, from Sumerian came Egyptian (or atleast heavily influenced by). So couldn't Egyptian have picked up similar 'sounding/spelt words-with or without similar meanings to Hebrew words as they have the same source? That would mean possibly that Amen-Ra was derived seperatly from the Hebrew Amen?

Thanks Wil

Some very interesting stuff (which I've bookmarked for further reading)but that was Noahide not noahidic and manily about the Laws etc- nothing about a language, or am I missing something?

I still wonder, why isn't there more focus on those Virtues which Christ taught, the set of spiritual Values which are shared between the followers of varying world religions, and those qualities of character which we ALL seem to agree are necessary for the spiritual life?

Are these not important, or is it just more interesting to pick nits over how to pronounce something, or how to spell it?

I wonder also...

Perhaps it's easier to pick nits as no sacrifice is required.

Or, maybe, without the 'nit pickin' and expanding of knowledge, assuming that's the motive behind it-is for me- we don't learn anything. If we don't learn we don't grow-as people, Christians or in faith. (If I hadn't 'nit-picked' at the Trinity I never would have understood it and that was one big stumbeling block to my faith.)

Nit-picking aint a bad thing, so long as it's not the only thing.

Speaking for myself (and I suspect a lot of others), time spent infront of a pc and on this forum is not my main activity in life. It's a bit of (informative) fun.

This is a link to a thread here that a few of us used to explore this very subject. I hope it may prove to be of some service to you.

Hi all...Actually there was a civilization that pre-dated the Sumerians in that region, the Ubadians. They built smallish cities and had temples for worship so they presumably could communicate.

But, alas, they left no written materials so we don't know anything about their language per se. Aside from pottery items about the only artifacts that have been found by archaeologists are serpentine-appearing humanoid figurines, dressed in tunics.

wiki defines us....Liberal Christians generally consider Jesus to have been an ordinary mortal only. They therefore teach that miraculous and prophetic events in Jesus' life were ahistorical, though often finding a metaphorical meaning in what they consider fictitious accounts or his life. Jesus' relationship with God is described in widely diverse views within this group.

I'm not of the ordinary mortal only crowd (I get to fit into the widely diverse views). I'm of the extrodinary mortal crowd, ie a belief that Jesus is G-d and realized it and his Christ nature during his lifetime...something ordinary mortals don't...realize that is.

hehehe
thank you, and Salaamulikum
