BTK59

It appears that he is struggling to accept the reality that Borsippa is approximately 15 miles away from Babylon, and depending on who you ask for directions, it is about 617 miles from Jerusalem. Therefore, if VAT 4956 mentions the death of an individual by the order of a king, in Borsippa and disease then we can reasonably assume it was Nebuchadnezzar based on the 37th year language in that secular evidence rather than the Bible, it suggests that the conflicts in the region were more extensive. This clearly demonstrates that no single conflict can be definitively determined or pinpointed solely by relying on that tablet designated to the year 568, regardless of how convincing it may appear. Making an absolute claim would be dishonest if the information contradicts itself. The same can be said if someone uses the date designation of 587/586 or 588/587. Only people who are desperate would argue that.

In God's eyes, it is truly admirable when flawed individuals strive to do their best. Hence, your opinion holds no weight. Your argument is illogical from a psychological standpoint because you are distorting the original intent. How did Jesus rectify the mistakes of sinners? Did he make them perfect? Did he, perhaps, reveal a path that could lead them to salvation despite their imperfections? So, what you reap just like Pudgy, he has sowed. Whose fault is it in his case, yours, mine, or his? Neither did Jesus nor the apostles. Construct your arguments in a more coherent manner. In our current condition, repentance does not free us from sin. The impact of Jesus' sacrifice was on the original sin, not on perfection. The concept of redemption is unconventional when the intention behind it is misinterpreted, as you have done. Why bother with good deeds if you merely conceal your evil intentions behind the facade of personal choice? Jesus did not intend for his followers to be hypocrites. He anticipated their honesty with themselves, as it was their decision to embrace His sacrifice for salvation. So, if someone does something wrong, they should be haunted by their conscience. This indicates that they are human and not an unfeeling dog. Remorse is the name it bears. When someone fails to feel remorse after committing a heinous crime, how can they possibly believe that God will not pass judgment upon them for their lack of remorse and repentance? If someone still criticizes God's arrangement, despite claiming to believe in it, they are contradicting themselves by their own actions. That indicates a significant issue with the individual's mental state.

I'm having trouble locating the other post regarding discrepancies. I'm going to share this discrepancy here. Perhaps I didn't search thoroughly enough. Did you mean to say that there is no clear indication of how a celestial observer or scribe could be defined according to Francesca Rochberg as an astrologer? I'm curious if they did require assistance from mathematicians then. What would happen if a scribe was illiterate and not an astrologer, but a record needed to be made because no astrologer was available to record an urgent event? "The title “t.upˇsar En¯uma Anu Enlil,” although easily yet only literally translated as “scribe of En¯uma Anu Enlil,” is difficult to define. The common translation, “astrologer,” by focusing on only one aspect of the En¯uma Anu Enlil scribe’s activities, conveys an inadequate and one-sided picture. No one-word English translation of t.upˇsar En¯uma Anu Enlil adequately defines the field of expertise of the En¯uma Anu Enlil scribe without implying an anachronistically sharp distinction between astrologer and astronomer, and an implied distinction between pseudoscientist and scientist." This observation was not limited to Mesopotamian scribal scholarship in general, but also extended to a similar concern for Babylonian culture. "Textual sources from which one can piece together the range of responsibilities and expertise of a scribe of En¯uma Anu Enlil are fortunately not limited to those on which the title appears, as these are surprisingly rare. In the Neo-Assyrian period, the available texts include one letter mentioning the “reports of the t.upˇsar En¯uma Anu Enlils,”37 one Babylonian report in which the writer ˇSum¯aia is the “scribe of En¯uma Anu Enlil from the new team,”38 and one administrative document listing the employees of the court in which seven t.upˇsar En¯uma Anu Enlils head the list, two of whom are well known from the court correspondence and the astrological reports, that is, Iˇstar-ˇsuma-¯ereˇs and Balasˆı." How do modern scholars make adjustments if they have no way of knowing the mental state of the ancient scribes? They must grapple with the uncertainty of the formulas used or not used. It seems that a great deal of interpretation is based on conjecture, leading to disagreements among scholars. This uncertainty certainly impacts certain areas of scholarly interpretation. It seems that they took their records seriously, but can we truly rely on them if we consider that the scribe may not have been a scholar?

I believe that Christ's message was one of calling upon sinners to repent and obey their heavenly father. So, why would Jesus call upon those who had already repented and become part of Christianity through that repentance? How can a sensible person reconcile the conflict between their heart and mind to interpret a different meaning? One organ accepts one thing, but the other does not. Luke 5:32. This conflict is thought-provoking, and some people might call that a twisted mentality. Therefore, the admonition of the apostle James was truly refreshing. In James 5:19-20 he imparts invaluable wisdom. What new insights do you possess? What unique revelations does the Bible impart to you? What is your interpretation of scripture that you find to be in error, besides everything?

I can't believe it! You actually sent me a staggering six reference books and an impressive dozen articles. I'm not a fast reader, haha!

An intelligent person would understand it to mean both. However, it seems that this is where you fall short. Therefore, when Jesus invited sinners to repent, it would mean a transformation not only of their hearts but also of their minds. The great thing is that you're not a psychologist; otherwise, you would be providing incompetent and detrimental advice. If you choose to remove yourself from salvation, it is an acknowledgment of failure as an inherited sinner. Orthodox, Catholic, Protestant, and other religious denominations that are considered to be false by God. However, within the EU, Orthodox and Catholicism are the most favored, and this sentiment is echoed in other countries such as Norway, Canada, Australia, Russia, and the UK. These places are known for their severe persecution of the Watchtower due to their practice of listening to apostates. Who is being used by Satan as a tool to persecute God's people, in any part of the world?

True intelligence lies in recognizing the importance of not giving heed to apostates. The recent meeting only serves to confirm how easily Satan can manipulate a susceptible mind to distort and misrepresent facts when discussing sensitive issues, such as child abuse. Once exposed as frauds, they resort to baseless rants, much like the one you have just made. What relevance does the word "definition" have in relation to your particular regional Orthodox religion? It appears that you are defending that false religion that defends the heinous crimes of Russia's Putin. How much child abuse has that abusive person caused to Jehovah's Witnesses in Russia? Pause and consider the numerous forms of child abuse. Why aren't you addressing this issue here? That's right, you just want to act foolishly and selectively. Are you implying that your community is free from child abusers? Do you believe that your region is somehow flawless? If so, I have doubts regarding your discernment. Your attempts to deflect do not hold any weight. None of your deflections are effective on me. I seriously question whether the approval of "GAY" relationships by the Catholic Church will truly please God. It is nonsensical to believe that you are a professional psychologist capable of providing advice on child abuse when you are unaware of the role that government and institutions play in perpetuating the issue. Your deception does not align with the reality of the situation. Therefore, your religious beliefs or lack thereof are irrelevant. I reject your blasphemy against God's Holy Spirit. Your failure is your choice, not God's.

I believe you are an intelligent person, although at times that might be a stretch. However, if the society were to maintain a list of things that you are contesting, things they toke seriously, what could they be concealing based on your perception? You mentioned 60 years in contrast to other religions that have annual occurrences, even in your Orthodox religion within your region and among your people in your community. The guidance provided by the Watchtower is intended for sensible individuals to contemplate upon. Once again, you are commending the commendable nature of Jesus, as well as acknowledging that if one believes in the efficacy of God's guidance in scripture, it's ineffective. You are calling God a failure, yet you don't comprehend that you are the failure as his creation. What kind of commission do you believe existed prior to the ARC that the Watchtower Society should have collaborated with, despite already fully cooperating with the ARC? Could you provide evidence to support your unfounded assertion that they didn't cooperate with the ARC, considering the fact that they provided the information being requested? It would be advisable for you to carefully consider your remarks before making such claims. People might think, you actually don't think. How is the discussion of beards relevant to the ARC issue? Cease distorting your baseless accusations to obfuscate the matter at hand. Your response seems obtuse and nonsensical, filled with irrelevant rants. Do you have the expertise of a psychologist to make such distinctions? Who is now dictating people's actions? Stop from sharing if you don't have something meaningful to contribute, your sounding like Pudgy.

@Srecko Sostar Thank you, Srecko, for sharing this article that you thought would better your false cause. I want to point out that your argument regarding child abuse and the Watchtower lacks understanding and validity. Moreover, it is evident that the Australian Royal Commission (ARC) did not conduct thorough research on the Watchtower, which now necessitates higher courts to make the final decision due to the biased and uninformed rulings of lower courts. *** g99 4/8 p. 8 Who Will Protect Our Children? *** Who Will Protect Our Children? This article, dated in the year 1999, predates the UN's interest in 2012. It serves as a strong argument for highlighting the Watchtower's unwavering commitment to addressing the issue of child abuse since the 60s, even before laws were passed and debated by governments worldwide in 2015. It seems that you have pointed out a contradiction in your actions, likening it to a hypocrite and drawing a parallel between your behavior as that of the Pharisees. This comparison is quite striking and thought-provoking. Your hypocrisy is evident as you persist in associating with an individual who has been proven guilty of the same position that you so passionately defend. Furthermore, you express gratitude for the information provided by this discredited individual, causing your credibility to diminish completely. Yes, that's right! The ultimate solution to these heinous crimes of pedophilia and child abuse lies in the establishment of a new world order guided by the principles of Christ. While we await this transformative era, we must diligently address the issue at hand, even if it means temporarily employing stopgap measures. We rely on individuals of unwavering morality. How do you control the uncontrollable in Satan's World? That's the Watchtowers expectation in ensuring that our collective effort maintains hope for a better future without such atrocities. Where in the article does it claim that the Watchtower is infallible and that the Elders have the ability to read minds? If they possessed such a power, they would have been able to prevent your friend from making a serious mistake. Remember your criticism about the GB. I understand your point about how you often bring up the imperfections of the Governing Body. However, it seems contradictory that you expect them to act in specific ways to satisfy your personal preferences. It's important to consider the broader picture and be realistic in our expectations.

LOL! That's hilarious how O. Neugebauer mentions: (B) “‘diluvium’’: actually Kaliyuga 1, Chaitra 1 = —3101 Febr. 17 = julian day 588,465 I'm still working on the hypothesis. Diluvium: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diluvium I wonder what he meant by this, since -3101 corresponds to the year 880 BC, during Asa's and Zimri's reigns. Kali Yuga, also known as Kaliyuga, refers to the concept in Hinduism that signifies the impending destruction of the Earth or humanity. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kali_Yuga According to Hindu cosmology, it is predicted that at the end of the Kali Yuga, Lord Shiva will destroy the universe and the physical body will undergo a great transformation. After the dissolution, Lord Brahma will recreate the universe, and humankind will become the Beings of Truth once again. I am curious about the time period we are discussing. I cannot recall any catastrophic events mentioned in the Bible around 880 BC, unless it was intended to illustrate the story of how Zimri annihilated the entire family of Baasha. Can he have meant 588 BC, if so, he's off since it is placed in -3393 The puzzling thing, is: Febr. 17 = julian day 588,465 If I use 588.465, The calendar date for 588,465 is 12:0:0.00 UT on July 5, -4711. If I use 880 BC as a reference point, I get 1400050.2933 It's not a match. Perhaps I too should embrace a skeptical mindset! lol!

I apologize for any confusion my previous statement may have caused. After carefully reviewing the evidence you shared with me via email, it has become clear to me that your point is valid. Then the question revolves around the proficiency of the scribes and astronomers in mathematical calculations. The Babylonians utilized a base-60 computation system, which is a stark contrast to the binary 1's and 0's we employ for coding purposes. It's important to note that the concept of zero did not exist for them. They used 1 and 10. "There was no zero employed in the system and there was no decimal point (no ‘sexagesimal point’), and therefore the context was essential." "The example above illustrates the cuneiform notation and represents the number 60 + 10 + 1 ¼ 71. The Babylonians used the base 60 system for computation, and this base is still in use today in the division of hours into minutes and the division of minutes into seconds. One possible explanation for the use of the base 60 notation is the ease of dividing 60 into parts. It is divisible by 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 12, 15, 20 and 30. They were able to represent large and small numbers and had no difficulty in working with fractions (in base 60) and in multiplying fractions. The Babylonians maintained tables of reciprocals (i.e. 1/n, n ¼ 1, . . . 59) apart from numbers like 7, 11, etc. which cannot be written as a finite sexagesimal expansion (i.e. 7, 11, etc. are not of the form 2a3b5g)" Did this mean that they had a mathematician with them wherever they went, or did observers return to the palace and inform a mathematician, saying, "This is my observation, now work your magic?" I can foresee errors occurring in either of these scenarios. Also, thanks, I'll check out Professor O. Neugebauer works.

It is truly disheartening to witness how individuals exploit tablets as a way to validate their assumptions regarding the year 587. However, the evident error within the Lachish tablets serves as a confirmation. Nevertheless, apostates relentlessly strive to manipulate the actual content of these tablets in order to portray a disheartening scenario of their own fabrication. The chronological order they employ, such as 605, 598, 587, and 568, is completely misplaced. But, as you mentioned, they do serve a valuable purpose when the information is used correctly. However, in that regard, the Babylonian Chronicles, along with the Ostraca Tablets, fall short. I also understand what you mean about the similarity of language, as historians want us to believe that these items, although separate, relate to the destruction of Jerusalem in 587. Yet, there is no indication on them to support this claim, especially the Lachish letters, which scholars have clearly misinterpreted and falsely adapted to scripture. Perhaps we could refer to 559 BC, when the books of magical arts were reportedly seized by Croesus and subsequently burned, as documented by historians of the time, but that might invoke the melancholic accounts of the Elcipse War, lol! This is precisely why we should conduct our own research and not depend on someone else's skewed perspective. Now, I truly appreciate the meticulous research that the Watchtower has conducted. However, in this case, I can also appreciate the words of Professor Richard F. Stephenson's words. "Babylonian astronomical records come from two distinct periods— a short interval covering the reign of a single king during the first half of the second millennium BC, and an incomplete span of about 600 years between 650 and 50 BC" Well I'm off to see today's Solar Eclipse, have a good day!

I understand now. I can clearly see the illustration you provided for Lachish Ostracon #2 as being manipulated. The inscription reads as you mentioned: “To my lord Joash 1: May Yahweh give you good news at this very time. Who is your servant [but] a dog 2 that my lord should remember his servant?" The_Kings_of_Israel_and_Judah "Each successive monarch of the house had, in fact, protected and encouraged the calf-worship (2 Kings x. 29–31 ; xiii . 2 , 6 , 11 ) ; it remained for the third king, Joash , openly to proclaim his adherence to it by showing that the name of its founder was that which he most delighted to honour. Jeroboam succeeded to the throne " in the fifteenth year of Amaziah " (2 Kings xiv. 23) , very shortly after his father's great victory over Judah . The military successes of his father against Benhadad (ibid . xiii. 25 ) , and against Amaziah ( ibid .xiv. 11-13 ) , naturally led him to raise his thoughts to greater enterprises than even his father had attempted ; and it appears to have been not long after his accession that he commenced that series of wars which covered his name with glory, and cause modern historians to recognize in him the predestined "deliverer " of the Israelite nation (ibid . xiii . 5) , and to speak of him as 66 the greatest of all the kings of Samaria." pp.140-141 2 Kings 13 13 Jehoash slept with his fathers, and Jeroboam [II] sat on his throne. Jehoash was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel. 14 Now Elisha [previously] had become ill of the illness of which he died. And Jehoash king of Israel came down to him and wept over him and said, O my father, my father, the chariot of Israel and the horsemen of it! [II Kings 2:12.] 2 Samuel 9:8 New International Version 8 Mephibosheth bowed down and said, “What is your servant, that you should notice a dead dog like me?” I see the similarity in language with the phrase, "your servant [but] a dog" with that in 2 Samuel "What is your servant, that you should notice a dead dog like me" Lachish Ostracon II To my lord Yaosh: May Yahweh cause my lord to hear tidings of peace this very day, this very day! Who is thy servant (but) a dog that my lord hath remembered his servant? May Yahweh afflict those who re[port] an (evil) rumor about which thou art not informed! (II Sam.. 9:8) Lachish Ostracon VI To my lord Yaosh: May Yahweh cause my lord to see this season in good health! Who is thy servant (but) a dog that my lord hath sent the [let]ter of the king and the letters of the prince[s, say]ing, “Pray, read them!” And behold the words of the pr[inces] are not good, (but) to weaken our hands [and to sla]cken the hands of the m[en] who are informed about them [ . . . And now] my lord, wilt thou not write to them, saying, “Why do ye thus [even] in Jerusalem? Behold unto the king and unto [his house] are ye doing this thing!” [And,] as Yahweh thy God liveth, truly since thy servant read the letters there hath been no [peace] for [thy ser]vant. . . . (Jer. 38:4) I also see the text where it states "Lord Joash" for the year 589, but it is worth questioning who exactly this person is that is being honored. There is no record of a Judean king with that name during that specific period unless that person was referring to King Josiah. Furthermore, there is no known governor either. It is important to note that priests were not referred to as lords as far as I can tell for that period. Then as you claim, these tablets date back to an earlier period, and are not specifically for the year 589. Even if an official has been identified by a subordinate speaking to a general Yaosh, the timeline is off, since 2 Samuel 9:8 and Jeremiah 38:4 can't be true at the same time for "Lord Yaosh" and therefore would have no relevance to 587. Now you mention that some scholars interpret these tablets in the time of Jeremiah and King Zedekiah in Jeremiah 38. As you conclude, King Zedekiah was never called Joash. The only official called by name in that passage is Ebed-Melek, a Cushite. Then, you are right. These passages don't align with the timeline, and these, Ostracons must have been in a storage room when they were found but from an earlier date. It seems like this one belongs in the other topic about conspiracies, lol!

No, that is merely a distorted version of events, as told by uninformed witnesses and former members. Since the 60s, The Watchtower has consistently brought attention to the issue of child abuse, fearlessly delivering their message in various forms. The publicans and the letter to the Elders provide evidence of that. However, instead of learning, it seems like the wrong party is dissenting. It doesn't matter how deeply misinformed individuals hold onto lies, because ultimately, God knows the truth.

If there had been witnesses in Washington's time, they would not have paid attention to Paul Revere. lol! One of the concerns they should be vigilant about is identifying apostates.

🤣

When the United Nations was approached with the dilemma of child abuse in 2013 by addressing the many aspects of child abuse, which included child labor, child trafficking etc., it became evident that these problems, which had been largely ignored by societies, was gaining greater visibility. As governments began to shift their attention towards religious institutions, the Vatican emerged as the most suitable target due to their visible documented incidents. I cannot deny the existence of pedophilia, especially when it involves someone accused of it and is well-known and supported by you. Speaking out against denying pedophilia in this situation is irrational and contradictory coming from you. It is not just the information itself, but the act of singling out that renders it hypocritical and misleading. You are aware that this is a global issue, one that affects all institutions around the world, including those located in your own country or place of origin as well. Post all of those incidents from all world's institutions and ensure consistent adherence to proper protocols. Has the issue been resolved with the AU commissions inquiry? I have noticed statistics indicating that the problem has escalated since 2015. Has the government taken measures to address it effectively? Have you truly convinced yourself that over the course of a decade, you have managed to make a positive impact despite your distorted views? Let's expose the hypocrisy of governments like Australia, Canada, Britain, and Norway who seek selectivity for doing the devil's bidding. We must also address the hypocrisy of those who present secondhand information as fact. The lack of presence during an incident introduces bias. I've encountered situations where women falsely accused her lover of rape out of vengeance for being dumped, and justice was nowhere to be found for the guy that was arrested and humiliated before the prosecution tossed out the arrest. Such incidents, some involving children, are far too common. There was another incident where an 11-year-old girl approached a complete stranger and threatened to scream and accuse him of molestation in a mall if he didn't give her 20 dollars. It appears that the misguided perspective lies with you and your friends, who continuously dwell on the same topic without realizing you have no positive impact. Do those incidents make the news? Are they being tracked by anyone? Should these situations be exaggerated to the point where no single person in society can be trusted? That is exactly what the devil wants. Why are you helping? I have experienced similar incidents, not only concerning worldly society but also within the Watchtower community by sisters. I could share some noteworthy events, but it would be unkind to engage in gossip and slander. Why should I tarnish the name of God in that manner? Merely to gain friends here, laugh out loud!

Oh, no! Srecko, how will you explain your egregious stance to other religions that don't visit this site? Or is the hypocrisy of former members limited, lol! Does God have standards for the way Christians should behave and dress? The fashions of the world come and go. Many people become slaves to these fashions and to keep up with the fashion of the time, will sacrifice their time, money, and even their health. Many of these fashions do not promote the principles of the Bible on dress. The wearing of tattoos, jewelry, saggy or tight “revealing” clothing has become very widespread even among professed Christians. But do these fit the standard that God requires? Let’s see what the Bible says about God’s standards on the Christian’s presentation to the world.

I never pay any mind to ex-witnesses, hence they simply do not bother me. When it comes to their lies, my focus lies on emphasizing the undeniable truth, completely detached from the former members' inclination to twist it to their advantage. So, why does it matter if a Catholic lawyer is supporting the Watchtower? Are you suggesting that they shouldn't? Religion stands strong in the face of manipulative governments and the spread of falsehoods and exaggerations by former members, especially when it's time to take a stand. Remember, there are people here who identify themselves as witnesses and are willing to embrace your perspectives, even if they may be biased. Why? Because some of them, especially females, possess a misguided loyalty. Instead of recognizing the ways in which Satan manipulates humanity through the suffering of children, they become fixated on their own personal emotions. If someone truly grasps the essence of scripture, it would be a misguided loyalty to turn a blind eye to the devious manipulation of Satan and the individuals he employs to sow division among God's people. No matter how strongly someone believes they are a devout Christian, if they fail to recognize this larger scheme, they cannot consider themselves faithful followers of Christ, let alone true witnesses.

You mentioned no one can tell BC, therefore the years cannot be applied, why is that?

It is concerning that governments are swayed by the testimonies of former witnesses, leading to the overturning of decisions made by lower courts, as seen in the case of Cardinal Pell in Australia, along with dozens of others. No true witness should be swayed by negative comments from former witnesses and their agenda along with any disfellowshipped. That's no better.

Does it matter if people are tuning in to a news source known for its shameful content? I only watch it for the humor. Does that discount the fact that Pudgy, this disfellowshiped Republican registered voter and Racist tried to influence his political agenda here? If it was truly disheartening for him to post it now, in a presidential election year, Pudgy and FOX NEWS would have shown outrage in 2021. Why didn't FOX NEWS mention it in 2021, the outrage felt by those Confederate white supremacist Republicans, MAGA, attempting to influence and corrupt our nation? This is why Witnesses shouldn't engage in politics, which is precisely why they should abstain from it. Now Pudgy, can you genuinely refute Biden's 2021 declaration? Avoid distorting, manipulating, or twisting your words. Provide concrete evidence that he did not make that declaration in 2021, rather than in 2024, a presidential election year?

You mentioned 539 over 530. Is there a good reason behind it?

I saw your rant on the other post as well. The only logical conclusion here is that your racism and arrogance is foolish. No wonder you and Srecko get along so well.

😂 I understand the point. If King Zedekiah and King Jehoiachin's reigns overlapped or ran concurrently, their proximity in age could have influenced the chronology. In essence, ancient scribes may not have provided an accurate account of history due to assumed dates, according to secular reckoning. Dates that are calculated and asserted without certainty of their accuracy. A Bible scribe may have incorporated a birthdate or significant biblical event that warranted attention, whereas secular scribes would document specific events occurring at a given time. By merging these sources, errors inevitably arise. Given the absence of a detailed daily account of King Josiah and Prophet Jeremiah, it is possible that certain scribal interests went undocumented, but perhaps they were utilized to peak an interest in time. This person's method is certainly an unexpected choice for the calculation. Why the Bible Is Historically Accurate (2nd Ed.) -Darren Thompson · 2007-Page 35 "It would appear that after documenting the timeline through the period of the kings of Judah to 390 B.C. (the end of the reign of Zedekiah, 3577 M.)" He mentioned 3577 M., which I believe refers to Anno Mundi. This places King Zedekiah's reign in 404 BC in the reign of Darius. Therefore, according to the language in his book, this is likely the beginning of the reign. Despite this, he mentions 390 BC, although 11 years would actually end in 393 BC. He also doubts the destruction of Jerusalem in 587/586. I guess he is either a JW or an Adventist, lol! "chronologists believe that the destruction of Jerusalem by Nebuchadnezzar occurred in the year 586 B.C. This time is partially based on tracing the reigns of the kings of the Persian and Babylonian empires as outlined in Ptolemy's book Almagest. The Almagest was written to describe a mathematical model for predicting the motion of heavenly bodies. This book documented eclipses that occurred during the reigns of Babylonian and Persian kings that Ptolemy used to demonstrate his model. Therefore Almagest was not so much a history book as it was a book on mathematics." I have come across other references elsewhere, even coming close to that date 404 BC. I believe the title does not align with the theology. lol! This one definitely falls into the controversial category. I decided to try it with "AI" and this was the response I received. It's quite amusing! This content is discussing the potential inaccuracies in historical accounts due to assumptions made about the ages and reigns of ancient kings. In this case, the reigns of King Zedekiah and King Jehoiachin are being examined, and it is suggested that their close proximity in age could have influenced the chronology of their reigns. The content suggests that ancient scribes may not have provided an accurate account of history because they made assumptions about dates without certainty of their accuracy. This highlights the importance of critically analyzing historical sources and considering potential biases or inaccuracies in chronologies. 😂
