-Caveat Lector- Hammurabi did a nice academic presentation of what some academics know about that part of history. Those who read here should know that there is a big academic religious movement bent on saying that nothing in Jewish or Christian history can be accepted with certainty. No Jesus, no apostles, no Abraham, no King David, no Exodus, no Moses, etc. There is no indication that Hammurabi is part of that movement, but he may be influenced by it. Why the trend? Well, if we are to move into one world religion, people must be convinced that humans all have some sort of good sweet center, kind of like a Fannie Mae chocolate, that has come out in every religious group to form the core of their beliefs. If we could just discard all of the outside shells, all of the sweet centers will come together to form a single candy that everyone can nibble from.
That the core of Christianity should be belief in a person makes it difficult. I don't believe in Christianity, but I also don't think the movement would have come together without a focal point. We should look carefully at the promotion of Judaism without Torah historical figures and Christianity without Jesus. <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/";>www.ctrl.org</A> DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
