What measurable effect has learning about the original translations of Biblical texts had on the world?
You:
There’s going to be serious upsets in what people think they know about the Old Testament period and history in the next few decades given emerging research trends
Me:
I’m not sure what ‘emerging research trends.’ If you mean trends of fewer people going to churches or identifying themselves as religious, that doesn’t mean they don’t believe whatever translation of the Old Testament they happen to believe is anything but history.
You:
Blah blah blah Ashkenazi Jews blah blah Minoans.
But I guess you answered my initial question. Learning about the original translations of Biblical texts have had no measurable effect on the world.
“What people think they know about the Old Testament period and history” is markedly different from “how religious people are today and in the future.”
But with your last ‘quote’ there I think you said everything that needed to be said. Good luck with your opinions. I hope they work out for you.
It sounds like irrational stuff if you’re tying how religious people are today and will be in the future to the genetic lineage of Ashkenazi Jews.
I’m not sure where you got that from, or why you keep being so hung up on “how religious people are today.”
