And you also need a few lessons in logic. If you claim that there is
no evidence that a is other than b, then you are making a statement
that a=b.
Care to present evidence for your statement? Please include any
evidence that you actually _are_ competent in being able to
distinguish between Hebrew (with especial attention to archaic and
paleo-Hebrew) from Phoenician and Aramaic. Otherwise, you are not
capable of evaluating _any_ evidence as regards the languages.
I do not lie - unlike yourself. Also, funnily enough, I appear to have
a better working knowledge of English than you - not to mention being
actually able to think logically, something you have never been able
to do. And I have all the evidence I need for that statement, given
the irrationality of your posts.

You have not been correct about anything - but then, that is common
with Biblical Literalists such as yourself.
There is, IF you're capable of interpreting the evidence, or are not
blinded by an ideology - as you so clearly are.
Easy. You take what is basically a propagandistic text and stare at
its literal meaning. You are clearly not able to interpret ancient
inscriptions, so I dread to imagine what kind of mess you would make
when trying to interpret royal inscriptions from _any_ ancient
civilization. All of those contain spin, just like any modern
propagandistic text.

Perhaps you are as deficient in English as you are in logic.
You the one saying there is evidence. Please feel free to present it.
Yes, you are a liar. A liar for the lord perhaps but a liar nevertheless.
We have abundant evidence the people a Jerusalem worshiped Astarte in her
temple which stood at the place of the dome of the rock today. A literalist
would expect no such thing to have existed.
You are free to present it at any time you learn what the evidence is. Please
do so.
I have hypothesized that it is a propaganda collection We agree on that. So
we are both literalists in that regard. Do you have anything else?

The national mythos of ancient Greece was the Iliad.
The national mythos of the United States is WWII.
In both cases the truth is far different from the mythos.
