What did they make up? The creation of the earth, the dawn of mankind, the thrashing of an enemy, the loss of a holy city, the healing of sick, the shouts of biblical prophets against the dim of citizens of the day? What if they were told how the Universe was created but their comprehension level was not able to pass the story on in verbal tradition for thousands of years? We take for granted our level of technology but back then it was not quite as easy. The bible, new and old testaments, is a history book that has been influenced by it's leaders over time, much like history books in say Russia have been influenced by it's leaders as well. What we are left with has been manipulated by man. Nobody disputes this. When you dive into the prophets you get your character development with respect to a time frame when they were alive. We treat Greek Tragedies much the same way. So it was all made up? No I have to disagree with that. Did the Holy Spirit come to the prophets and get them to foretell what Jesus was going to be? I think so. Brilliant people get visions and make great works or art, create chemical compounds that fight cancers, or envision a new look for a building/structure, etc..... -- Stephen Russell Sr. Production Systems Programmer First Horizon Bank Memphis TN 901.246-0159 _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
