Prior to the Great Revolt, the Arab presence in Judea was minimal. Hebrews dominated the land, and it was only after Hadrian sent 12 Roman legions (a force of about 60,000 men) to pacify Judea did their presence fall. Rome tried to exterminate the Jews in that savage campaign, as it did with the Carthaginians in their 3 Punic Wars. The difference here is that Rome did erase Carthage from the known world, even as much as pouring salt over Carthage and enslaved its entire population, thereby stamping out the only rival to Roman domination of the Mediterranean World. Rome, however, was not successful in regards to its extermination of the Jews. While Rome did destroy Jerusalem and forced the Hebrews in a global diaspora, the Jews outlived the Roman Empire, and have resettled their original homeland. The descendants of Abraham continue to pray before the wall of the Great Temple, while, the Eagle of Rome has long rusted into oblivion.

Note: all an every power that tried to exterminate the Jews all failed. Alexander's Empire collapsed, Babylon collapsed, The Roman Empire collapsed , Nazi Germany collapsed, and most recently the Arab nations that tried to stamp out Israel were defeated in all of its wars with Israel.


what goes up must come down.  all empires collapse, from the most ancient achaemenid empire to the medieval mongol empire, srivijaya empire, down to the modern british empire, western european empires, aztec empire, and the more recent soviet empire.  the world has known over 200 empires that came and went.  how many of these tried to exterminate the jews? 

i hope this particular note is not inferred from the data you have gathered because, excuse me, the collapse of empires has nothing to do with the current israeli-palestinian issue.

The Byzantines retained the Roman name and modified it to "Palastinia Sultaris"; and when Byzantium was conquered by the Ottoman Turks, it was renamed to Falastin; the Arabs have retained the term Falastin. The English equivalent of Falastin is: Palestine.


‘The Greek toponym Palestini (ΠαλαισÏ,,ίνη), with which the Arabic Filastin (فÙ,,سطين) is cognate, first occurs in the work of the Greek historian Herodotus, active in the middle of the 5th century BCE, where it denotes generally the coastal land from Phoenicia down to Egypt. Herodotus also employs the term as an ethnonym, as when he speaks of the 'Syrians of Palestine' or 'Palestinian-Syrians', an ethnically amorphous group he distinguishes from the Phoenicians referring to the Aramaeic Samaritans led by Sanbalat and appointed by the Persian kings and the Arabs in Jerusalem referred to also by Ezra (the Bible).  The word bears comparison to a congeries of ethnonyms in Semitic languages, Ancient Egyptian Plst or flst, Assyrian as Palastu, and the Hebraic as Plishtim, the latter term used in the Bible to signify the Philistines.’ (from Etymology, Palestinian People, Wikipedia)

Quote from: Lorenzo on June 17, 2010, 02:07:54 AM

Rome, by Imperial Promulgation under the reign of Emperor Hadrian, renamed Judea ("Provincia Judea") into Palestine ("Syria Palaestina") in order to erase the memory of the Jews. The Arabs then came to settle Judea (since it was devoid of its original inhabitants).


‘The Roman Emperor Hadrian determined to wipe out the identity of Israel-Judah-Judea.  Therefore, he took the name Palastina and imposed it on all the Land of Israel.  At the same time, he changed the name of Jerusalem to Aelia Capitolina.  The Romans killed many Jews and sold many more in slavery. Some of those who survived left the devastated country (and established Jewish communities throughout the Middle East) but there was never a complete abandonment of the Land of Israel.  That is, there were always Jews and Jewish communities in Palestine, though the size and conditions of those communities fluctuated greatly.’  (from Palestine History, http://www.palestinefacts.org/ pf_early_palestine_brief_history.php)

as for the “Arabs who came to settle Judea”, please refer to reply no. 9.

When the Romans exerted their influence in Judea in 63BC, this lead to hostility between the two peoples and would later lead to the Roman pacification of Jewish revolts and thus lead to the destruction of the Jewish Temple in 70AD. The Jews would later revolt in the 2nd century AD in what is known as the Bar Kokhba uprising, which lead to a prompt and devastating Roman response. The Romans implemented an ancient world version of 'Shock And Awe' by destroying and razing Jerusalem to the ground and pacified the Jews in Judea, thereby forcing the Jewish people in a diaspora. Many of whom were forced to leave for Hispaniola and Central Europe. The Jews in Iberia would later be called Sephardi Jews and the Jews in present day central and eastern europe would be called the Ashkenazi Jews.


as in everything else in our discussion, i'm shocked and awed by this indigestible mishmash of information so generously given but has nothing to do with the topic.

Quote from: Lorenzo on June 17, 2010, 02:07:54 AM

Prior to the Great Jewish Revolt, present day Israel was known as Judea, it was only after the pacification of many Jewish revolts that the Romans changed the name from Judea to Palestine.


it does not mean that by virtue of the ancient name of the place the ancestors of present-day palestinians were not there.

‘Recent genetic evidence has demonstrated that Palestinians as an ethnic group are closely related to Jews and represent modern descendants of a core population that lived in the area since prehistoric times,  largely predating the Arabian Muslim conquest that resulted in their acculturation, established Arabic as the predominant vernacular, and over time also Islamized many of them from various prior faiths.’  (from Palestinian People, Wikipedia)

Islander, if i may infer:


lorenzo,

you have, indeed, inferred, in your own usual way.  inference is akin to extrapolation, which in verb form means "to come up with conclusions from known data".  please don't get me wrong, but your inference, i.e., conclusion, is a lecture on history that would have been more enjoyable to read if you bothered to summarize this particular aspect of history from your source (which, I’m prone to believe, is http://www.palestinefacts.org/ pf_early_ palestine_ brief_ history.php).  unfortunately, i find this source biased any way I look at it.  how about getting facts and distilling them from many sources first before jumping to conclusions?  there’s so much data out there from which we could infer, but it should be data from all sides that should interest us.  

"No two historians ever agree on what happened, and the damn thing is they both think they're telling the truth." (Harry S. Truman)

oh, the wikipedia (on the palestinian people) in this instance strikes me as more balanced.  (quite unlike the wikipedia entry on our homegrown iglesia ni cristo which is inherently biased.)  needless to say, for purposes of scholarly research, it would be greatly appreciated if you quote or name your source when you post entries such as these.  

and while we’re at it, we’re both veering away from this thread’s topic, a situation that you yourself insisted is something that you strictly guard against.  what could have been a topic started by you and answerable with a yes or no with some explanation perhaps for one’s answer has now morphed into a history lesson.  be that as it may, i am at least assured that you won’t delete your own entry.

Quote from: Lorenzo on June 16, 2010, 12:06:13 AM
Thank you for that , islander.

you're welcome, lorenzo.

let's simplify things for better understanding of what this thread is all about before we get too garbled and before there is more mention of what subjects one had taken or how one had stumped his college instructor.  since this is all about similarities and differences, here goes:

symbols:  christianity - the cross
              judaism      - the star of david
              islam         - the star and crescent 

origin of the name:  christianity - from the greek 'christos' (anointed), referring to jesus christ
                  judaism     - from the hebrew 'yehudim' (judah)
                            islam        - from the arabic 'submission', also the arabic salaam (peace)

followers (2006 estimates):  christianity - 2.1 billion
                                       judaism     -  14 million
                                       islam         - 1.3 billion     

p.s. i can slowly, in installments, post the similarities and differences of these three major religions and try my best to simplify them, that is, i won't flood this thread with data in one go.  however, for those interested in comparative religion and have the leisure for research, a good internet source (among many) is christianityinview.com/xncomparison.html

the study of comparative religion, to my mind, helps us traverse the paths of our biases.  it could help us understand why we're not really too different in our faiths.  i can't imagine delving into similarities and differences just to prove other religions wrong.     

we all wish to go to heaven though we take different paths.

No, that won't happen
  Gaza belongs to the Jews, the Philistines need to go back
   to their country  in  Crete.


sorry, statesville, but i beg to disagree with this statement (not necessarily with you).  one group of the so-called philistines did come from crete, at around 1190BC; most of these groups of philistines are of mediterranean and greek origin. 

the current palestinians are descendants of abraham as the israelis--- a more apt and current term instead of 'jews'--- are descendants of the same patriarch.  (that makes israelis and palestinians blood relatives in the strict sense of the word.)

lineage aside, if we say that these 'philistines' need to go back to crete (it's not a country but a mediterranean island that is part of greece), they who have settled in gaza for more than a thousand years before christ, surely you will find it unthinkable if present americans (the whites, for purposes of this discussion) are deemed to need to go back to their countries of origin in europe because america belongs to native americans.  unthinkable, right?  to think that white americans started settling in the new world only in the 1500s after christ while the 'philistines' settled in the currently named palestine for more than a millenium before christ.

of note in these current times is that palestinians hold titles to the land and their houses that are bulldozed to make way for israeli settlements.  any country will go to war if this is done to its people.

all the films i watch are foreign, most of them as a matter of course are from hollywood.  i regret that i've totally lost interest in our local film productions after the golden decade of films of the 1970s.  (some european films who don't make it as world blockbusters are truly good, such as those from the czech republic.)

When we say Sex education it does not mean having sex alone...this is simply a perception...sex education would mean gender classification, health, and other issues not necessarily concerning the reproductive cycle...I believe sex education should be done in AGE APPROPRIATE STEPS...

How would a mother answer when a child asks about how he came to be? How would a father answer if his boy asks, why his baby sister doesn't have a penis...and why do girls sit down when urinating? Why is mom's pipi bleeding, why is dad's penis without a foreskin? why do girls grow their hair long? Why can't I grow my hair long? Why is Mom's nail polish in color? Why does Mom wear lipstick? Why does Dad buy me a toy gun? Why do girls get dolls? Why do girls wear panties? Why do they wear skirts? Why do girls dress differently than boys?...and a whole lot more gender sensitive questions that has to be answered...according to our culture and not according to american or korean or chinese films...

I am for AGE APPROPRIATE Sex Education...

amazing.  so questions like why girls wear skirts and panties and and the whys and wherefores of colored nail polish and toy guns need formal lessons in school and a curriculum to boot?

still do and will continue to do so in very small amounts (a pinch like the size of a thumb tack head plus sugar).  di ko mogamit kun ang seasoning nga akong idugang specifies nga naay monosodium glutamate (msg) content ug kun ang akong giluto angay butangan ug oyster sauce.

p.s.  food is bland without msg (vitsin), but like everything else, anything in excess is not good.  so should vitsin be taken as such.

#45983
and i thought this thread is about opinions on whether the philippines would have been better as an american state!  hey, bro enz, why is this being hijacked by rizal and his kind?

as for the topic at hand, here's my 2-cents' worth:  would have been better at what?  materially, morally, politically, spiritually?  frankly, there's no telling if any country would have been better if it were not independent.  it's like saying that a cat would have been better if it were a dog.

You have a nice life, how I wish I don't have to work.


we learn to like what is thrown at us or where we're thrown in, i've learned. 

years ago, i cried so hard when my banana republic told me to stop working.  i got depressed for a year and was so hot-headed, i became terrible to live with.  i was even embarrassed to buy lipstick with money that i believed i didn't earn. 

i learned to live with my new situation and began to appreciate the time on my hands.  now i could not imagine having to work again, outside of the house as an employee, that is.  but you know how it is, like cowboys whose work is never done, housewives' work is just as never-ending.

believe me, you have a lot to be thankful for as a working girl.  (maybe you just need to fall in love?  again?  ahem.  ssshhhh. :-*)

Islander,


The study of the Holy Bible is a very sensitive issue, and requires all of us to sit down and take everything in, taking into consideration of the original Greek, Hebrew meaning of the word and then to modern translation.

A bible study fellow of mine, once said, "We need to surround ourselves with like minded peoples in studying the bible..."

When we study the bible, we have to put away differences, and hostility away. That said, I invite you, sister, to studying with me.
I admit that I have not read the bible enough, and am myself a student and still learning. Perhaps, we can learn together and share our input on a specific verses. I extend this invitation to all who are interested.

But the thing that i request is that discussion be solely on the Holy Bible.



God Bless.

~~

This matter is now closed. We will now go back to discussion of the original topic.

you did not close this topic, because there you go again, preaching.
#45993
Quote from: Lorenzo on June 07, 2010, 11:41:53 PM
Islander,

The starting of Bible Study was to study specific bible verses and answer questions as I had been receiving questions. It is an open forum, but anything else that is negative and contrary to the subject matter is to be avoided. I started the thread not for myself, but the benefit of all of us to study and read; if a person disagrees with my interpretation or with another's interpretation, they have the right and freedom to say so and share their interpretation of a specific bible verse and do so civilly. Attacking one another is and should be avoided. And I will not allow the deviation of the Study of the Holy Bible by personal remarks. I openly invite All and Everyone to The Study of the Bible.

The Grace that we have been filled with is to share the good news, to those who wish to hear. Ug dili gusto ang tawo mo discuss sa Bible, then do not discuss, no one is forcing anyone to read it or antagonize it.

As for your reminder, and point of view, I thank you for it. I appreciate it.

That said, let us move on.


Blessings and Peace,
Lorenzo

lorenzo,

mark was the first who asked a question, if i'm not mistaken.  but yes, i'm moving on.  by the grace of god i have been moving on.

Personal attacks in any form will not be tolerated. There is a fine line between intellectual discourse and personal attacks whose main goal is to attack the poster, and not the subject / topic at hand. The latter does not cultivate healthy discourse, but rather, animosity and destructive criticism.

All the best.


You said it all, Wolf. The beauty of life is that it has its ups and downs; and it is really what we make of it. If we choose to be positive , then it has an effect. If we choose to be negative and sulk, then it also has an effect. But as you point out in your message to us in this topic thread; we all have a chance to make a difference to inspire and help a fellow human being when they are in need, down in the dumps, what ever it may be. And in the end, making a difference for the positive is a source of inspiration and an inspiring act in itself for those being helped and around.

The great Hindu philosopher and Indian national hero, Mahatmas Gandhi (other wise known as "Gandhi-Ji), once said : "Be the change you want to see in the world."


Warm Regards.

and so is there a fine line between truth and self-packaging, between ego and preaching.  be that as it may, since you are in the position to tolerate or not and to judge what is personal and topical in this forum, i hope that you carry enough humility, in keeping with the way and the truth and the light whom you so often mention, to be able to tell the difference and to practice your forum power with magnanimity. 

it goes without saying that the real test of character is how a person in power practices that power sparingly.   

you deleted a certain ‘mark’ when you started your online bible study after he asked you a question, and then you went on and on with your bible quotes and interpretations as if, and i take care to say as if, the multitude should be awed and must listen and obey. 

well, there’s a whale of a difference between ‘sanctimonious’ and ‘sanctity’.  as for me, if i needed a homily, i’d go to church.

i believe this forum is also about news and fun and humor.  and ideas, the kind that flows in the currents of the mind when one has the luxury of time away from one’s daily cares, ideas that cross the mind in a flash like lighting that could go in any direction across a dark sky.  this forum catches and records those.  and we are all the better for it.
