josh on religious views

While this might not contain as much class as James' discussion, in the fact that there is too much seriousness and not enough off the cuff humor, but- have you noticed that all the prophetic figures in history all seem to have the same names? For all the Almighty creative guy He is, he sure needs a boost in the creativity department. I was just doing some reading and noticed how often we think of Abraham Lincoln as a prophet more than a president, and then thinking of my own twisted prophetic traits, and what little knowledge I have of the Bible tells me of an Abraham and a Joshua- who I was named after. I wish I knew more about prophets, because I know plenty of Joes and he was one too!

lol...

How true, how very true... Originality is such a lacking trait.

u mean the names are just copeis sort of. well u see one of the reason names in the bible are named with certian meaning to who they are. sadly that's the way it goes.

My question is, how come all the names in the bible (well, a lot of them), are so American? Peter, Joshua, Adam, etc. I thought that like, man originated in the middle east or Africa or something. You'd think we'd have more Ishmaels or something.

Moby Dick.? how come there are no prophets named Ed or nigel?

lol they are not american names... there is no such thing. most of the "american names" are judeo-christian--which began in the middle east. David, Michael, Joshua, Abraham, Ishmael-all jewish names. Adam, for instance, means "man" in hebrew.

At of all those listed above, I like Michael the most. They don't use the ae combination enough anymore.

you forgot james and jacob they were nice guys.

true.
i like wreid odd orignal names or names that rool off the tougne toghther very good for when u get mad or happy for or aginast this person or people.
