    Link 1 isnt working


    The bible is recounting its authors version of events

    The Sumarian are recounting theres, not a matter of right or wrong .

    But I wouldnt use any of them to show evidence of God etc

    sorry i put a smiley at the end of one of those links

    here it is http://truthisscary.com/curriculum/the-sumerian-tablets/

    i think there is a huge link between the two.

    i think a lot of the bible was robbed from the info on those clay tablets and changed by the authors of the bible to suit the time then

    Hmm 2 options, first just that the story was taken with a bunch of mesopotamian migrants (aka abraham) to palestine and these people later became the israelis and added their own parts to the stories.

    2nd is that it was indeed robbed when the israelites were in captivity in mesopotamia at some point

    Edit: just doing some reading about it and it seems that option 1 is quite unlikely.

    All of these middle eastern myths and legends are interconnected and go back long before the bible. It's just that the bible is by far the most widely published and available version in history. As for who's telling the truth....neither are. They're just myths and legends.

    Yeah, this isn't really news. It was inevitable that people living near the euphrates and tigris were going to get flooded from time to time and that stories were told about them. It's a bit like stories about invasions, resistance, genocide etc. It happens and every culture's mythologies contain these kinds of events.

    By the way, I checked out the videos from truthisscary but they all went straight to the end-credits. Do you have links for the actual content?

    Breaking news

    lost first page of the Bible found

    It says
    Dedicated to my beloved wife Mary.

    All characters in this book are completely fictional and any resemblance to real life is purely coincidental

    Read Joseph Campbell if you want to see the similarities between various myths and religions around the world. Things like the Great Flood, Virgin Birth, the Trinity etc.. are not specific to Christianity

    Religion of old the very first form of mind control, it's objective, to take over the world, it's reason, want us all to live in the past tense and bow to their words, it's downfall, hasn't got the intelligence to understand that time has move on and so to has the Human race, it's ending, accept change for the better or modern day Armageddon.

    Sumerian Tablets v The Bible v Modern Times

    We all live in two worlds psychological and physical which most of us fully understand the difference between the two, but unfortunately their are those who don't, and when these words that are known now as religious words where written, the Human mind didn't really have the intelligent to fully understand the psychology of their own minds, to them maybe it just started of as a search for a better world compare to their own physical world that they live in a few thousand years ago, the same came be said about some countries of today that are still rule by strong religious belief.

    The sad thing about this is, it was Humans who wrote these words that still create many division within the Human race, all we have to do is look at the news from around the world to see that, which could easily change for the better if these religious run countries would change according to the times we live in, but religion of old has a fear of change, because in their religious psychological world their is no such thing as a physical form of time, and that why they're still trap in their own belief that the old religious ways know best.

    As for the Almighty, the Human mind created the Almighty in a image that the Human mind want to become, all great and powerful and created, also destructive, but the best thing about the religious words of old is that they actually predict what kind of world they want us all to live in, and there lie the problem, still trap in it's old belief that religion know best, when after all these words where written by Humans minds guided by their own imagination of a dead world.

    And finally their last chapter Armageddon, the last war to free the Human mind from the old religious chains of slavery, but just like all other wars that these words have created Humans will again have to fight it, while the old religious dictators quiver cowardly behind it's army of brainwash Humans, but thankfully the Governments of today are ready able and willing to go to war on these old religious run countries, and hopefully before and not after they gain nuclear capability.

    Wouldn't it be great if religion of old would finally wake up and see the HELL that it want us all to live in. --- Peace at Last.

    Solution. maybe its time The Third Testament was written

    Well I'm glad you wrote christians not humans, because humans only fought real wars, religion fights religious wars

    Thanks for that, been interested in that topic for agse now and Im yet to find a good book on it.

    Sumaria is a facinating subject all its own - to think that at the heigth of the Roman Empire the Sumerians were twice as ancient as the Romans are to us is mindblowing.

    For anyone that is interested in a broad history of the fertile crescent from the first Sumerian empire, with its mythical king Gilgamesh all the way to the fall of the Babylonian empire 'Babylon' by Paul Kriwaczek is very good.

    http://www.godandscience.org/apologetics/gilgamesh.html

    There is a difference of over 1000 years between the two.but there are huge similarities between the book of genesis and a few other chapters.

    see links above.

    The epic of Gilgamesh is by far more accurate than the Genesis version.The Genesis version is a crock of ****. On the second link it table graphs them both well. The Gilgamesh version is 80 percent accurate. Noahs ark was not a boat it was a ship. The flood happened almost 13,000years ago, not 6,000 years ago or around that period that most bible scholars state.

    Bear in mind that the bible most religions use is the King James version which essentially is an edited version of the bible. The Catholic Church is supposedly in possession in Vaults in the Vatican and New York of other books and gospels which have been omitted from the King James Bible more than likely to suit themselves and the Monarchs of the day.

    True, but the scriptures are still corrupt. It's been corrupted a long time ago. The last 2000 years has shown that. The Vatican, Jesuits, and Zionists are here to keep humanity as their slaves.


    But that is coming to an end. ;)
