From: Death@yabbs To: all@yabbs Subject: The "Old" testament Date: Sat Jul 23 01:50:28 1994 I'd just like to remind everyone that the old testament, as it is currently written, has not changed at all in about 2500 years... there is a written copy of it dating back about that far (I don't remember the exact #) It is still written in the same exact script, with the same flourishes and all as it was then. That is one of the biggest traditions in Judaism. As to things being lost to translation, I can assure you that most of what is in the Christian bible's translations is relatively accurate (although I haven't gone over it with a fine toothed comb). thus, the Roman/Greek legends and those of the Bible are probably based on what were, essentially, the same events. --Les
