Not reading God's Word right is just wrong. No talking snakes!

Thousands of years! Are you having a laugh. No 'they' didn't. Bull.

The 'Hittites' in Turkey are NOT mentioned in the Bible. I have checked it out, read this post and you will see that the culture discovered in Turkey were misnamed 'Hittite', they were never known as Hittites but the name remained for convenience. There's more info on that thread, feel free to comment there.I still have NEVER been given the name of a single scholar who doubted that the Hittites existed despite asking literally dozens of webmasters with this false claim on their sites.

Hi Green,My response was due to the claim, which, fair enough, you have amended, that the find at Boghazkoy in Turkey had shown that the sceptics who thought the Hittites of the Bible were a myth were mistaken. But the culture found at Boghazkoy were misnamed ‘Hittite’ and the name stuck even after the mistake of confusing the texts was universally accepted.Many people do not realise that the inhabitants of Hattusa should never have been called ‘Hittite’, but the name remained for matters of convenience. These same people assume that because these people have been called Hittites (incorrectly of course) that this means that they are the Hittites of the Bible.This misinformation is all over Christian literalist websites. These sites also claim that scholars thought that the Hittites of the Bible never existed, but I have never been given a name of anyone who made this claim.I do agree with the premise of the thread, we really should not be considering the biblical text outside of its historical contexts, which is exactly what the fundy, conservative, evangelical, pentecostal dimwits do. They miss out on much of the Bible by taking a one-dimenional view of it.
