The Old Testament is also part of the Christian Bible and that most
certainly does. Deuteronomy 13 and 17 call for those who worship other
gods or even incite you to do so to be stoned to death. Numbers 31 calls
for the Israelites to attack Midian and kill all the men, all the
married women and all the male children but to keep the virgin females
as the spoils of war and distribute them among the soldiers.

In the same sense that Joe Bloggs refuted 85% of the Koran, yes. Or to
put it another way that is nonsense. He arguably proposed some new
moral rules which clarified parts ot it, but any wholesale rejection is
a figment of your imagination. You are conflating Jesus with a trendy
vicar you may have heard from as a child.

Current Jewish practice is for the Torah to be read out three times a
week in the Synagogue. Over the course of a year, the entire set of
scrolls is read out. I imagine this is a long established custom, which
avoids the need for literacy among the population. However, I would
expect that the son of God would automatically know the entire Tanakh.

The same could be said of the majority of the population in
most places certainly up until the invention of printing.
They got all their religious information by word of mouth
from priests, monks etc either by way of teaching or in
sermons.

The teaching and sermons would mainly have been in terms
of simple ideas and principles and rules to follow, which
could be easily explained by word of mouth. And the same
still applies to most people's religious thinking today.

Jesus spent a lot of time in te temples and had been around the block a

Not for Jews, no. Latin, Greek, (Aramaic) and Hebrew were the written
languages of the middle east. Sanskrit is India. Also Farsi from the
Persians. (Parsees)

"During the thousand years of its composition, almost the entire Old
Testament was written in Hebrew. But a few chapters in the prophecies of
Ezra and Daniel and one verse in Jeremiah were written in a language
called Aramaic. This language became very popular in the ancient world
and actually displaced many other languages. Aramaic even became the
common language spoken in Israel in Jesus time, and it was likely the
language He spoke day by day. Some Aramaic words were even used by the
Gospel writers in the New Testament.

The New Testament, however, was written in Greek. This seems strange,
since you might think it would be either Hebrew or Aramaic. However,
Greek was the language of scholarship during the years of the
composition of the New Testament from 50 to 100 AD. The fact is that
many Jews could not even read Hebrew anymore, and this disturbed the
Jewish leaders a lot! So, around 300 BC a translation of the Old
Testament from Hebrew into Greek was undertaken, and it was completed
around 200 BC. Gradually this Greek translation of the Old Testament,
called the Septuagint, was widely accepted and was even used in many
synagogues. It also became a wonderful missionary tool for the early
Christians, for now the Greeks could read Gods Word in their own tongue."

The jews, and that's what they were, were into
quite decent education for their kids and that
involved reading from the 'scrolls'. They were
never jealously guarded by religious authorities.

What has struck me in my researches into ancient cultures and in
particular the Dark Ages (so called) is the way in which knowledge was
passed down the generations without being written down at all.

The feats of memory that e.g. the Druidic Bards were capable of, and
their ability to compose memorable works is - epic.

I can't remember the details but most of the Old Testament was in fact
'oral tradition', and was only written down somewhat later...Wiki
suggests about 350BC although a lot of the events are two hundred years
earlier.

Stonehenge, by contrast, is around 3000 BC.

Even Judaism is a relatively recent religion. Let alone Christianity.

Yep, the old testament was like that, entirely verbal
until the jews decided to write it down much later.

The feats of memory that e.g. the Druidic Bards were capable of, and their
ability to compose memorable works is - epic.


And still seen today with many muslims choosing
to memorise the Koran as their entire education tho
obviously they do have to be able to read to do that.

was the language of scholarship during the years of the composition of
the
New Testament from 50 to 100 AD. The fact is that many Jews could not

around 300 BC a translation of the Old Testament from Hebrew into Greek
was undertaken, and it was completed around 200 BC. Gradually this
Greek
translation of the Old Testament, called the Septuagint, was widely
accepted and was even used in many synagogues. It also became a
wonderful
missionary tool for the early Christians, for now the Greeks could read
Gods Word in their own tongue."

We know they started off in Bethlehem, which seems an unlikely centre

The jews had religious education everywhere they were.

Rather longer than that, well past there being any
present at the time doing the reporting. Likely lots
of faulty memory of what he actually said and did.

I think southpark got it right, but of course I have my own theory.

https://southpark.fandom.com/wiki/God


my own theory :- is that God was dyslexic like wot I am,
and it was actually a Dog, which also expalins why all those dinosaur bones are buried, he was a hungry dog.

For the audience for whom the Bible was intended old men
with grey hair and beards were supposed to be wise. Same
as in the mafia where all the decisions were often made
by grey haired old guys who turned up in Court in pyjamas
feigning senility. Although admittedly the "wise old men"
thing has taken a bit of a hammering with the advent
of UseNet.

Likely older tend to have more money and therefore power. ;-) And may be
more concerned about the afterlife, so commission such things.

Those are the ones of which only fragments have survived. The problem with
assessing all written material from antiquity is that in order to be written and
survive at all it a) needed an investment in time and materials by somebody
with sufficient resources to create such a record, b) it needed to be written on
a durable medium given the right conditions and c) unless it was written on clay
tablets or stone it needed to be preserved by someone rather than destroyed
either deliberately or accidentally during times when preserving other cultures
wasn't necessarily a priority.

As a broad generalisation all written material in antiquity was relatively expensive
to produce and so it was closely guarded by whoever commissioned it but
given the inevitable ravages of time on parchment, papyrus and wood the
amount still extant is probably a tiny percentage of what existed in
antiquity.

What has struck me in my researches into ancient cultures and in
particular the Dark Ages (so called) is the way in which knowledge
was passed down the generations without being written down at all.


Er, "The "Dark Ages" as normally understood, in England at least,
covered the period during which the various Celtic and Anglo-Saxon tribes
decided to "take back control" after the Romans left, and before the
Normans arrived. Before this the Roman governing classes who intermarried
with the Celtic ands Saxon nobility would have left written records
which were subsequently destroyed decayed or simply abandoned unlike
the Vindolanda Tablets, Roman Soldiers' letters which were fortunately
written on wood which were found near Hadrian's Wall. They're called
the "Dark Ages" because there was no one single central authority
king etc. who thought to maintain consistent written records which
would otherwise have survived aside from the various sources that
make up the Anglo-Saxon Chronicles. In fact they probably
could and did write plenty of material at the time but it was
on parchment etc. that nobody, and certainly not the Normans
thought it worthwhile to preserve.

But its different with the scrolls used in synagogues. Yes, they
arent cheap to produce, but all active synagogues have them
and so its easy to see what language is used in those.

Well w ekn ow what you've just said and what oithers have said about the accounts contained in the Bible.

Out of the 4 , Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John IIRC it was only mathew that stated that Mary was a virgin when Jesus was concived.
Now you;'d think that would be big news so if it was true how comes
Mark, Luke, and John all missed this 'minor' point.

Why didn't any of them decribe what Jesus looked like ?.

There's also no evidence that king herod ordered any babies to be killed at
or around the time Jesus was born.

And just how did Matthew know she was a virgin anyway?

Pretty standard for those who become pregnant outside of marriage (or
whatever) to claim.

Even more so given absolutely nothing was written about the birth of
Christ contemporaneously.
