INTRODUCTION

Appearing as a posthumous work of that dean of Bible teachers, Dr. W. H. Griffith Thomas, this volume should have a special appeal to all who knew and loved the author, or who are familiar With his earlier works. W. Graham Scroggie has said that "the reading of Dr. Thomas' books creates in one a deeper love of and desire for GOD as revealed in his Word," and this is strikingly true of this clear and satisfying marshaling of evidence as to what the Bible is.

These studies have appeared serially in the Friends' Witness under the title, "The Book of Books."

In order that the book may be more readily available for class or individual study, a series of questions, prepared by Robert M. Webster, of the Philadelphia School of the Bible, and the Pennsylvania Bible Institute, Philadelphia, have been added at the end of each chapter.

The old men out yonder acting as shaman (no matter the society) created the crap YOU take as a gospel.

The Bible was no even written until after Babylon captured the Jew goatherders in 500BC ... after that brief period WHERE THE JEWISH IDIOTS LEARNED TO READ/WRITE, the Bible was created. And it is updated by all the charlatans YOU believe in each year. That is WHY there are thousands of OFFICIAL BIBLES.

The Hebrews were writing long before 500 BC. They have found clay tablets in the ruins of UR that have writing. Abraham was from UR.

Further, Moses was raised up as the son of the daughter of the Pharaoh of Egypt; and they were well versed in writing. Moses is the author of the first 5 books and was alive long before the Babylonian captivity phase.

Of course, it wasn't in English.

Yeah .. interpretative gibberish akin to stoneage cretins painting on cave walls. If there are really any that are preserved in the period you are referring to, it was because the Egyptians attempted to direct their efforts. But the goatherders were fairely obtuse ... to learn anything.

That is why the GREAT nations of the world omit anything from a pile of goatherders.

You believe? What EXACTLY do YOU believe in? That you are going to die? Yes, you are; it happens to be a condition of all life that we know. Are you afraid to die? YES YOU are. It is the the unknown because you you choose to believe in something that is far removed from your simple mortality.

You cling to an "idea" based on no fact. As an example: you believe Abraham&Sarah wrangled in bed at the tender young age of about 100 years old ... as it is written. Oh and created a little baby that begot, begat, and begot, begat and whatever.

You are a laff a minute. Your beliefs defy human experience, logic and scientific considerations. It is outside human experience.

Rather than make uninformed or ill-informed comments like: "Yeah .. interpretative gibberish akin to stoneage cretins painting on cave walls", why don't you take a look at some of the archaeological findings. As I recall, there were business records, household records, even city planning records.

They really had no need for computer languages, space engineering, etc., if that is what you consider to be great literary stuff.

And why try to denigrate AKA Stone's faith or religious beliefs? Hell, Buckeroo, you, no doubt, believe scientists who say there are black holes--oh, they don't see them, or can't find them, but 'trust' them, they are there.

I personally believe we are finding more and more through archaeology that proves out Biblical stories.

For long times, its been said that the name David, as in King David, was never found and so his story couldn't be true......and yet the name has now been uncovered

Uh, yeah. But...but...THEY display important degrees and...peer into telescopes and write theses, and...and...rely on carbon dating (a notoriously undependable method for determining age or rock and whatever), and...well, Science IS is own "Religion," isn't it?

Bottom Line - Bucky ridicules Stone for the same reason others do: Because despite his high intellect, he and others still can't fathom or comprehend the Gospel, nor can they connect the dots of Scripture and Prophecies...nor wrap their head around the existence of the Spiritual Realm.

Yep. Archeology only further reinforce and validate the truths of biblical history.

Liberator: But heed the word of bow-tied secular humanist academics and sceontists (sic: scientists) whose microscopes and telescopes explain the human conscience and spirit? Really? How so?

The Jews borrowed their ideas from about 500 BCE; this was when Babylonia conquered their goatherder clans. Babylonia rejected them some 50 years and the rejected/dejected Jews went back to their homeland AND even their brethren (still remaining in the homeland) rejected the NEW infusion of a pile of Babylonian Jewish goatherder dumb fucks that never wrote a thing before but whore around with their cousins.

But a GREAT event happened for the Jews while carried away from their desert while in Babylonia: through those 50 years, they were treated to reading/writing (something quite novel for a pile of misfits/bastards/goatherders) as they never thought about communication before writing anything down for posterity; the captured complaining goatherders ALWAYS thought their invented tales of GOD about their personal heritage would survive through goatherder dialectic yiddish: from goatherder father to goatherder son to goatherder grandson. WOW! They saw the light from Babylonia! The Jews were a pile of self-proclaimed narcissists begging for incest.

And since that time the Jews have used Babylonia as an excuse for the EXILE. Yet, that is how they made up their tales you regard as the Old Testament.

The Old Testament is only 500 years old. It is composed of old wives tales and goatherders and incest and mumbo-jumbo specific to a culture of goatherders that often fucked their own children/cousins/brothers and sisters UNTIL Babylonia and (actually Egypt) stepped into their culture.

Hey...... even goat herders can designate themselves as "the chosen ones". Too bad some unseen force has been spanking them ever since.

FYI: From the International Standard Bible Enclyclopedia, under the heading Child, children: "

snip..."Early education was cared for in the home, the children growing up more or less with the mother (Pro_6:20; Pro_31:1; 2Ti_1:5; 2Ti_3:14, 2Ti_3:15), and the girl continuing with her mother until her marriage. In wealthier families tutors were employed (1Ch_27:32).

Schools for children are first mentioned by Josephus (Ant., XV, x, 5). According to the Talmud the first school for children was established about 100 bc, but in the time of Jesus such schools were common.

Children were taught to read and to write even in families of moderate means, these arts being widely diffused as early as 600 bc, if not earlier (Isa_8:1; Isa_10:19). Great stress was laid on the Torah, i.e. the law of Moses.

Boys were trained also in farming, the tending of cattle, and in the trades. The religious training of the boy began in his fourth year, as soon as he could speak distinctly. The religious life of the girl also began early. In later times at least children took part in the Sabbath and Passover festivals and boys attended synagogue and school regularly....
