@craigiem12 Dude, what an absolute waste of time to post this kind of rhetoric. Looking for clicks and looking for people who don’t have anything better to do than defend the historic orthodox Christian faith. Just stop!
@Jvnior Asatir - Medieval composition
•Linguistic analysis (Aramaic dialect, grammar, vocabulary)
•Historical allusions
•Literary dependence on late Jewish traditions
→ All point to a medieval date, usually 10th–11th century CE.
@Jvnior Haha!!! In Asatir VIII.3 (often cited as p. 262 in Gaster’s edition), the underlying word is מכה / Makah (Makkah) — not the English word “Mecca”. “Mecca” is a translator’s interpretive rendering, not the original term. This is the Biblical BACCA NOT Mecca. 😂😂😂😂
@stackerco You’re either uneducated or lying. Alan Segal, a Jewish scholar of religion and this book is a landmark academic study showing that belief in “two powers” (or two divine figures) existed within some streams of Second Temple and early rabbinic Judaism. Others: Sommer & Knohl.
