John 19:19 (YHWH?)

[Paul Younan]

But don't you know what Jews believe about Hebrew? It is Lashon HaQodesh, the language that God used to speak the universe into being. Aramaic sprang up at the Tower of Babel. Before that, everyone spoke Hebrew. We <!-- s:inlove: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/inlove.gif" alt=":inlove:" title="In Love" /><!-- s:inlove: --> Hebrew. <!-- s:lol: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/laugh.gif" alt=":lol:" title="Laugh" /><!-- s:lol: -->

I do indeed know that Jews believe that about Hebrew. Muslims believe the same thing about Arabic.

Funny thing is neither Hebrew nor Arabic existed before Hebrews and Arabs, who descended from Abraham the Chaldean.

And both of you use a script descended from Aramaic. You even all it "Ktav Ashuri" ("Assyrian writing").

That being said, unless you can find some archaeological evidence (ahem, clay tablets) from Mesopotamia during the time that Abraham lived among his fellow Beth-Nahrainites, showing a sample of Hebrew speech/writing, excuse me while I rank your belief about the Hebrew language being spoken by Adam right up there with Rudolf the red-nosed Reindeer and the Easter Bunny. <!-- s:biggrin: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/biggrin.gif" alt=":biggrin:" title="Big Grin" /><!-- s:biggrin: -->

I feel ya, though. There's a lot to be said about cultural pride. I've been accused of it several times in the past.
