No, your little god did not make you.:-P ...@Bruce,<br /><br />No, your little god did not make you.:-P However God has made us and curious we are. However you infer that <i>And all writers of the OT are a mystery</i> When many of the books themselves tell you who wrote them. However i do see what your saying, well someone could have said so-and-so wrote that, how can we believe what is written? I just want to ask are you consistent in this? How much of history can you believe? It's interesting the Book that says Thou shalt no bear false witness (Exodus 20:16; Exodus 23:1; Matthew 19:18; Romans 13:9) and from your view, it's own authorship is a false witness.<br /><br /><i>But, a group identifying as Assyrian is not a nation.</i><br />True, however doing some more looking some people say that Assyrian is modern day Iraq. Also i have found several more sites about Assyria and Iraq and the number of Assyrians that live there and around the world. They may rise again. :-)<br /><br />What constitutes a nation?Edwardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16369659005071111204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4648300866401965494.post-64793353061597982302011-09-12T10:35:18.252-07:002011-09-12T10:35:18.252-07:00Oops!

...Oops! Sorry for the ambiguous reference, Bruce. <br /><br />What I meant was this: your understanding of prophecy makes complete sense - as long as we know that the prophecy was made after the events happened. If Isaiah (or, as more critical folks would say, whoever it was that put everything in the Book of Isaiah together) did "predict" things that had already happened, then there's no real reason to put much stock in what he says. <br /><br />However, not everyone agrees that it went down like that, and the date and authorship of Isaiah are hotly contested for just that reason.Christianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12130234666306775772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4648300866401965494.post-104771970410701002011-09-10T21:16:26.289-07:002011-09-10T21:16:26.289-07:00@Christian,

I was just visualizing him for humorous purposes.<br /><br />@Edward, <br />Thanks for the links. But, a group identifying as Assyrian is not a nation.<br />And all writers of the OT are a mystery. There is no way to prove true authorship.

From ...I like the Damascus prophecy in Chapter 17. From what I've gathered Damascus is the oldest continuously inhabited city in the world. So that prophecy didn't work out so well. I did a little web surfing to see what the apologist answer to this discrepancy was and apparently Damascus could fall into "a heap of ruins" any minute now. Just hasn't happened yet. <br /><br />Any minute now.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01181354327293762376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4648300866401965494.post-29627266716749269472011-09-10T19:35:16.635-07:002011-09-10T19:35:16.635-07:00@Bruce,

Also <a href="http://www.assyriannation.com/who-are-the-assyrians" rel="nofollow">assyriannation.com</a> one as well. Now this is interesting, i also found a few that said the Assyrian nation was gone. I don't think these people got the memo. :-) There was a time when Israel was not a nation... looks like some want to make that happen again. This will be enjoyable to see how it all comes about.<br /><br />@Erp, Ya the mystery writers. Those are always handy to have around. ;-) Questioning Gods word is the oldest snare in the world.

For ...Any proof that's how it happened, Bruce?<br /><br />For what it's worth, tradition says Isaiah was a royal official from an aristocratic family in the courts of several of Judah's kings. So, sort of the opposite of a Unibomber.Christianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12130234666306775772noreply@blogger.com
