There were no Jews ~3200 years ago. Another attempt to co-opt history?

The Mormons have been around longer than the Jews in your world?

(I have nothing against Mormons, just idiots)

It's time for a basic arithmetic lesson:  You said:
>the Jews were using the word "goy" (gentile) 3000 years before the Mormons existed.

OK, lets do the math.  Since Mormonism began ~1830AD or so (I'm told), 1830AD minus 3000 years equals ~1170BC or so (ignoring any numbering probems involved in crossing the year of our Lord 0.) So you must be referring to the year 1,170 BC.  (Check my numbers, please. It's getting late.)

Then I said: There were no Jews ~3200 years ago. Another attempt to co-opt history?

In the year 1170 Before Christ the Israelites had returned from vacation in Egypt and were back "home" having a good time disobeying God.  They were not Jewish of course.  There were no Jews in Egypt either, only Israelites. Moses was not a Jew, but an Israelite.

In 1170 BC the Kingdom of David was still ~170 years away.  David was of course not a Jew.  There were no Jews in 1,000BC, only Israelites.

After Davids Israelite Kingdom collapsed ~922BC, with nary a Jew in sight, these fueding Israelites split the sheets and formed separate Northern and Southern Kingdoms.  No mixture of people would be identified as "Jews" for another 400 years, after the remnant of the Southern Kingdom returned from Babylon.

Well, I could go on with the story, but it's all in the 3-MINUTE HISTORY at my LostTribe Profile, so why don't you mosey on over there and get the rest of story.

Bottom line, (and I won't call you a liar like as you earlier implied about me), you have simply confused the arithmetic. I'm sure it was not another attempt on your part to co-opt history.

Then you sweetly said:

>The Mormons have been around longer than the Jews in your world?

which seems to add nothing but confusion.

>(I have nothing against Mormons, just idiots)

Oh, well. For a good look at a self-made one, check your mirror.

Love and Kisses,

I think what he's saying is that 3000 years ago was long before Israel broke up into the two kingdoms and were shuffled off to their respective spankings by the Assyrians and Nebuchadnezzar. There doesn't seem to be the moniker "Jew" until after that time.
