  question for Leolaia - when were the oral traditions that comprise the pentateuch committed to written form

  by quietlyleaving in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i'm quite interested in this subject at the moment.

  i was reading that in some cultures when the stories, myths and traditions began to be written down the stories etc underwent transformations as they were now accessible for critique and for moral judgements to be added.. i'd like to hear your thoughts leo and anyone else who has anything to share/discuss.

  ql.

  blondie: he's not the one I meant.

  The guy I meant (the JW composer, musician) is Japanese, his name is Tori Kudo. A pic here:

  guess how long will it take for the story to make the rounds of the jws community, as an evidence of god's protection on his people and the wisdom of obeying the "gathering together" command ....

  Camels werent domesticated during Abraham's time?

  by cyberjesus in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  one of the many factors that made me loose faith in the bible was the fact that camels were not domesticated during abrahams era.

  i read this on the book "the bible unearthead".

  do you know of any other evidence that shows camels were domesticated after 1000 bce.

  For an attempt of harmonization between the Bible account and archaeological data see here:
