Hillel did not put man above God----Mel Gibson did.Hillel, like all of Jewry, followed the Oral Torah that puts man above God, so I like that.
Today, he would be seen as a Gnostic Christian. Most of the intelligentsia is.

Yes. Apocalyptic from it's conception.eaten of the same
true---but very INSPIRINGYes. Apocalyptic from it's conception.
The curse of supernatural thinking.
Best to stay in reality. The other is only good for inquisitions and jihads.
His own words belie what you think, but that aside, that is the intelligent view, and Oral Torah tradition, is it not?Hillel did not put man above God----Mel Gibson did.
Why people don't give up the familiar"This".
Which comment?
Was, before supernatural belief ruined it.true---but very INSPIRING
there is a lot of Akkadian cuneiform in arabia because AKKADIANS
who spoke and wrote AKKADIAN made incursions there. Akkadian is
not arabic and Akkadians were not arabs. Arabs were people originating
in arabia and who spoke arabic.
SO? Herodotus was wrong-----His theory that everyone in Mesopotamia
is FROM ARABIA ---is ludicrous but could be consistent with some sort of
perverted Baathist ideology. Mesopotamia is not Arabia. Somehow---
the completely illiterate people of arabia migrated to Mesopotamia and
suddenly developed a written language that has a very tenuous connection
with the language they spoke when they got there----to wit "arabic" and
developed an agrarian society dependent on the two rivers but had
been nomadic shepherds. I wonder what word Herodotus used for "arab".
In pre-islam times ----arabs were called ISHMAELITES in the bible and
the talmud. As to various tribes in the PALESTINE OF HERODOTUS---the
Palestine of Herodotus covered a lot more area than the JUDEA of the
Roman occupation----it included even parts of Syria, probably Gaza and
definitely the lands that had once harbored the PHILISTINES who were
Aegeans. The Assyrians were Assyrians----not arabs. The Philistines were
Phonecians, the Edomites and Samaritans were breakoffs from the
descendants of ISAAC---via his twin kids JACOB AND ESAU (so they say)
Only a simpleton would claim THE JEWS WERE NEVER IN EGYPT---it's not much of a walk OVER LAND. Even the Greeks were in Troy and it was harder to get there. There is also a linguistic and cultural connection
Oh.Why people don't give up the familiar
All sorts of people MIGRATED---the species "HOMO SAPIEN" is a migrating animal. Just ten thousand years ago? arabs got started that recently?---Gee--they remained static for a very long time---dependent on a few docileArabs migrated ten thousand years ago.. long before Islam or Judaism.
Arabia was once a savannaAll sorts of people MIGRATED---the species "HOMO SAPIEN" is a migrating animal. Just ten thousand years ago? arabs got started that recently?---Gee--they remained static for a very long time---dependent on a few docile
animals that ate up their lush tract of land
yes it was----SO?Arabia was once a savanna
yes it was----SO?
not interested in "arab power"---it was demonstrated on October 7 toArabs migrated 14,000 to 10,000 years ago. The most powerful Arab tribe migrated from Yemen to Northern Arabia.. I'll look up their name for you.
not interested in "arab power"---it was demonstrated on October 7 to
the extreme delight of your 'cultural leaders'---WHO DESCRBIED IT AS GLORIOUS.
You have meaningless, trivial information----I prefer the migration
patterns of the Monarch butterfly
what words of Hillel's say he put man "above" God?His own words belie what you think, but that aside, that is the intelligent view, and Oral Torah tradition, is it not?
this is from the Talmud, tractate Shabbat, 31a. In it, an insincere convert (the text has a series of stories of insincere non-Jews attempting to annoy Hillel and Shammai by asking things they know aren't reasonable) asks about converting if he can be taught the entirety of the Torah while "standing on one foot". Hillel sums everything up in a pithy statement and then says that to understand it, one must now study the entire corpus of the Jewish texts.Rabbi Hillel, the older contemporary of Jesus, said that when asked to sum up the whole of Jewish teaching, while he stood on one leg, said, "The Golden Rule. That which is hateful to you, do not do to your neighbor. That is the Torah. And everything else is only commentary. Now, go and study it."
for those not familiar with the vile stench of islamo nazi propaganda--Hamas is Muslim Brotherhood. Israel funded them as part of the strategy to prevent any 2 state solution ever.
The Arab tribe was called Thalmud.

here is the key: Whther someone says "I am a believer" or "I am not a believer" --- don't accept either one, go by what they SAYOh.
No. I am seldom surprised.
I have not had the pleasure of losing a decent argument in some time.
