Hebrew and Phoenician were two separate languages belonging to two separate cultures. Also, where do you get that the Jews don't believe the Phoenicians existed? They're mentioned numerous times in the Bible by name as having traded with Israel and Judah.
This isn't about the Phoenicians. Even if the writing systems used by Greeks, Latins and Hebrews were derived from Phoenician script, this by no means implies that the languages themselves are. For centuries Japanese and Korean were both written exclusively using Chinese characters, and yet neither of these languages belong to the Sino-Tibetan language family, of which the various Chinese languages are members. Mongolian is often written in the Cyrillic alphabet, yet it isn't a Slavic alphabet. Heck, Aleutian is also historically written in Cyrillic, and it's a Native American language.
They were dozens of 'Phoenician' colonies all around the Mediterranean and the Latin and Greek Alphabet
is an evolved Phoenician script, as is your English Alphabet.
You gonna deny the ENTIRE history of the Phoenicians?
And what training do you have in Greek or Hebrew? What experience do you have with linguistics? What are your credentials? Where did you study? From whom did you learn? From where are you getting your information? Why should I trust your lexicon?
What does that mean? Are you saying that Hindus, Buddhists, Muslims and a lot of other religions that have likewise "endured" are not "blessed"?
I was annoyed when I made the thread. It was upon the request of another poster who was too lazy to search the fora for identical debates as it has been done to death. I wasn't hellbent on debating it for the 74689643rd time.
Is your knowledge of Pharisaic beliefs informed by anything outside of the gospels? Because the talmud, which records Pharisaic belief from before, during and after the advent of the common era is what informs modern Judaism. And your knowledge of modern Judaism and what it has "blurred away" -- where exactly do you get this information? Please excuse me if there is a delay in my response. Yom Kippur will start soon and I have to pray for my immortal soul so it avoids eternal hell.
Phoenicia was a kingdom to the north of Israel and Judah. They constituted a separate ethnic group with different language, writing, religion, economy, commerce, traditions, etc.
Great, I never said that Hebrew was a place, I said it was a language belonging to a culture in a place. It looks like you get as creative with reading English as you do reading Hebrew and Greek.
The first child of Adam was Cain, dude.
How do you possibly get "Phoenix" from "Cain"?
I don't know what your point is. Canaan was only the son of Ham. Noah had 3 sons: Ham, Japheth and Shem.
Whatever, the Elohim created man in his own image and then the Sons of Elohim took daughters of the children of men. How could they do that if they both weren't created out of DNA?
Not half as much as I was.
Gosh, mommy, it's not my fault; Jimmy made me do it.
To quote Sofia Vergara, "Not the one you think you know."
In my opinion:
Was Yeshua really meant to do everything the first time? The only word 'Messiah' specific prophetic texts in the Bible both say 'he'd be cut off' (Daniel 9:26 & Isaiah 52:14 -> Isaiah 53).
First time caused the Destruction of the 2nd temple, Diaspora, and the Curse of Moses (Leviticus 26, Deuteronomy 28) because of ignoring the time of visitation (Luke 19:41-44).
Messianic prophecies states a cleansing of the earth first (Isaiah 24, Isaiah 34); the whole world is to be washed with fire before the return, in my understanding of Biblical texts.
