...is that Odishoo is lying...Odishoo uses such words as "strong native assyrian aristocracy" and that the ancient cities of Nineveh etc. were being "resurrected and as strong as ever before. These are all the OPINIONS of Odishoo...they are HIS words...but, to make it seem like he si speaking with some authority, that he has facts and evience and real authors to back him up, he cites the writings of the much-respected Georges Roux...however, he only uses those sentences that can serve his purpose...yes, Roux says there was new life in those long-dead assyrian cities, but he makes a point of saying there was NOTHING "Assyrian" about them...no "aristocracy" of assyrians...in fact nothing Assyrian at all, except that people remembered that Assyrians had ONCE lived there... That crucial sentence was deliberately left out by Odishoo..who is presented to us as "scholar" and "teacher"...he left it out, even though it was the core of the paragraph, because it proved him WRONG. There's "scholarship" for you! This is what all these guys do....they pick and choose and twist an subvert and leave out whatever proves them wrong...and actually educated and trained people KNOW that...it isn't only Joseph who catches them at it but anyone else of equal standing who bothers with them...they make FOOLS of themselves but, impress each other and LOVE what they hear. --------------------- |
