yes....lol....the first link basically states that the Jews well preserved their text called the Masoretic Text and that the Samaritians had style differences. Of course they did, they didnt even worship in the Jerusalem Temple!?!
The other link of Sumeria.....what they have a flood account? They also have an account of the Annunaki etc etc. There ARE differences....
In order to redefine, you must understand what the definition first was. None of us had done that yet.

Daniel chapter 9 contains a detailed account of when Messiah would go into Jerusalem after the second temple was built. So after the second temple begins to go up....100,000 days later Messiah will go into Jerusalem. Jesus fulfilled this to the day which was outside his power since the prophecy was written at least 600 years before Jesus was born.
Isaac Newton knew this and wrote a commentary on Daniel where he shows the math work he did and how Jesus did fuflill the prophecy. According to Daniel, the Messiah had to come before 70ad. If its not Jesus, then who is it??

all ancient civilizations have similar accounts. The Chinese character language system has depictions of the blood adam and eve serpents etc. This is similar to how many ancinet civilzations had similar worship systems or pyramids/ziggorots........serpant worship is found all over the world. It just shows the world back then was not a bunch of dumb cave men etc.
But the Sumerians did not have a monotheistic God as Creator. They had alien/overlords who created man as a slave race. They left on Nibiru/planet X and will be back in a few months apparently...

Jesus was God in the flesh but he did not depend on his deity while on earth. The gospels and the epistles teach this. So Jesus did not know everything while here on earth. Yes Jesus read Daniel but my point is that Jesus ministry lead up to his entrance on the exact day the scripture was to be fulfilled. Now maybe his ministry was ineffective or things could have come together where he did not enter Jerusalem that day being hailed as Messiah and Son of David but thats what happened and so he fulfilled the prophecy. Whether he counted it and figured it out makes no difference. If not him who else slipped in that day to fulfill the prophecy? Thats why I ask you, if not Jesus of Nazareth, then who else?
Fact is your post is correct. Not only do we have excellent historical backing to and for the New Testament....

the story of Jesus was first begun with mark...the oldest account of the gospel...in that account there was no virgin birth...that was added later...in other gospels...the epistles of Paul may or may not all be from him...more likely the doctrine of the trinity was added as a way to solve to problem of where to place Christ...and then later was canonized by the council of Nicaea...
im not disputing the existence of Jesus, or his fulfillment of prophecy, but there is very weak evidence to call him the creator in flesh...the flesh cannot contain the creator...only the life/spirit the creator gives...i believe that the titles he was given unlock who he was if we take them all together...the son of god, the son of man, and Emmanuel...or god with us...
the son of god= one whose spirit was put in them directly from the hand of the creator...the son of man = the DNA that was inserted into to egg as coming directly from Adam... and Emmanuel= the creator with us, meaning that Jesus showed us that the creator is with us, not in some ethereal place far far away...but with us in spirit and in truth...
flesh cannot contain the creator...it is not in the same dimension, and even if it was, it could not contain all of the life force that is the creator...it is a physical impossibility...we can only contain a fraction, a splinter, a grain of sand of the life force that comes from the creator...we cannot even stand in the presence of the creator as we are...but if we are changed to fit that dimension, we can stand in the presence...which has yet to occur...
i really must rest...this is very interesting to talk about which is why i am here, but i must rest...work begins early...edit on 23-7-2012 by studythem1 because: (no reason given)

you must try and keep me awake???
ok, if you or i had immense power, we would probably do something just because we could...it is in our nature...
but the creator does not do that...
the creator does not need to exert power...only those who do not have power need to...
thats all... im going to bed...dont think cause you post something else after i went to bed you won the argument...

Ok lets say the bible has been changed. Now how do you know it was changed for good or bad? How do you know that the evil church did not use reverse psychology (masters of manipulation amirite?) and not change the true message and instead use fear of them doing this to manipulate you into doing the opposite? Or better yet it is all lies or an inversion in which case God is the devil and the devil God.
This knowledge of course seems eerily similar to theosophy and the mindset of the elite, being a gnostic inversion of what Jesus himself tells us and people like Paul fought against it is not the truth.
All of those claims have the same amount of evidence to support them. Zilch . While the bible has mountains to support it yet you refuse to see that evidence because it does not align with your own preconceived notion.
In the end though if I understand your beliefs it is rather pointless for you to continue the discussion since the bible is all lies to keep us scared and therefore there is nothing to fear from ignorance or sin.

because Constantine used it to strike fear into his subjects and secure his power over them...he used it as a tool of oppression, that is where it changed from a spiritual movement to a religion...(bondage)

i do not ascribe to theosophy...i just do not ascribe to false doctrines that are called true by liars and then foisted on unsuspecting people who mean well but fall for the lie...

preconceived means that i did not study to find out the truth, i just had an idea regardless of what evidence i had in front of me...so now you are omniscient as well? truth is... i have studied for the last 12 years, which led me to question god, then shun god, and then... guess what brought me back to the creator of the universe? the Sumerian texts...of all things...DNA study...finding historical facts i had not even known about before, and several other things that show a much broader and taller mountain of evidence than a short 200-2000 year span of time...which is all the old testament and gospels have to back them up...so lets just ignore all of history? the whole world of history? and tons of DNA evidence? and archeological evidence? in favor of what compares to it as a small narrow minded pile of rubbish that supports only the bible? what about the rest of human history? what about the texts the bible copied from? what about DNA...the real handwriting of the creator?
In the end though if I understand your beliefs it is rather pointless for you to continue the discussion since the bible is all lies to keep us scared and therefore there is nothing to fear from ignorance or sin.
i never said it was all lies, but i did say it was full of lies...as in added to it, it is also redacted, and mistranslated in some cases...these things pose real problems, and if it is so important that the bible is accurate, dont you think Christians would make sure it was instead of purporting that it was when it was not? historically accurate is one thing, (as in having the correct peoples names in it for the time period...whoop de doo) but spiritually, it is lacking in accuracy...that is the problem...whenever evil men get a hold of something good they ruin it...they defile it...and the bible is no exception...for something so important that it is the blueprint for salvation, you would think it would be better guarded than it was...instead it was tailored by Constantine to be what he wanted it to be for his purposes...and he crushed anyone who defied his assertions about Jesus and anything else...that is what we all too often forget about the history of the modern bible...you cannot base truth off of a lie and that is what modern Christianity is still doing...

Apparently there was this new religion going around that was so powerful people were abandoning the old pagan ways which ties directly to your "the Sumerian origin idea" . So just so we have this straight they hijacked a legitimate spiritual movement to hide their pagan symbols within yet outwardly teach the way to salvation? This legitimate spiritual movement is teaching the same things the Sumerians thought according to some of you here? Why the need to hide the mystery school inside a new religion if the supplanted religion was teaching mystery school ideas?

... Also you speak of history but you do not look at history through the lens of the bible. All of your ancient history and extensive travel do is confirm the bibles account of a world empire before the flood that shared common pagan/heretical world view which was wiped out by God because man decided to no longer obey the lord and instead exalt himself above the lord through baseless conjecture and lies from serpents? Also dont forget the nephilhim and how they tie in to your DNA research which was another cause for the flood clearly stated in genesis. The bible has the answers to the questions you seek but then you would have to align your will with that of the lords which for some reason you have an aversion to.

because this is their way, they hijack everything...any movement they see gaining momentum they hijack...so they can retain the power...they do it by cunning and then by force...had they let it be the opposition, they would have lost their power...so they have to make their bondage palatable in the form of whatever movement they intend to control or derail...
they did it with every spiritual movement in history, they also did it with the reformation...they also did it with the American revolution, which is why the good ol USA is a tool of oppression today...
