Huh.
Didn't even know that it had been the subject of academic study; I'd just come to suspect it on my own.
Thanks; I'll see if my local library has it.
here is a hebrew interlinear of Ps 89:6. http://www.scripture4all.org/OnlineInterlinear/OTpdf/psa89.pdf
Many many scriptures point to more to YHWH then meets the eye. How can he 'inherit' Israel?
I guess this just makes the JW religion more on track with original beliefs. Since trinitarian Christians accuse JW's of being polytheistic for calling Jesus "a god", although JW's deny this is the case, in reality one could reason it is actually closer to Biblical teaching.
Finkelstein - This is the most awesome video - I've only viewed the one - first one that's linked. She's incredible.

I have seen the whole documentary and was actually surprised by her findings... they were enlightening and seen from the timespan it all happened it is a plausible story.
On the downside though: she is not talking about the gilgamesh epos which I thought was one of the stories borrowed and plugged into genesis. Because now she gives an explanation about the garden of eden but does not tell about the flood story which is also part of the same epos.
O well.. it was enlightening thats for sure :)
She is a cunning linguist...

This scholarly journalist certainly creates and brings out more expansive information toward how the
people of ancient Israel socially behaved in their worshiping aspirations, a lot more than what todays
religionists are willing to expose. ( no names mentioned )
.
Ironically the battle between who is directly in line with these ancient created gods and who therefore
is in a state of justifiable power because of that connection continues to this day .
.
I don't think its the leaders of the Watchtower Publishing house though.
