Joey Jo-Jo: Because this is all we have. Jews believe that this information can be passed on by saying from one generation to another (the truth is not many could speak and read), but as we found out through the dead see scrolls, this information changed.
Since when do the Jews have a monopoly on "truth"? If theirs is the True God, why didn't he lift a finger to help them in the Holocaust? Why hasn't he lifted a finger in the last 2,000 years?
So, are to believe in psychics and philosophers now?
No, you don't "believe" in philosophers and psychics. You read their works, expand your mind, think for yourself, and formulate your own conclusions. But hey, maybe that's just too much work for you. It's a lot easier to just have someone else tell you what to believe.
And who invented the zodiacal year? **drums** man! what are we talking about? the same God in the bible? or some other gods?
Um, yes that would be Biblegod.......
Genesis 1:14 And God said, “Let there be lights in the vault of the sky to separate the day from the night, and let them serve as signs to mark sacred times, and days and years... (NIV)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mazzaroth
Mazzaroth (Mazarot ?????????, LXX μαζουρωθ) is a hapax legomenon of the Hebrew Bible, found in Job 38:31-32 . The similar word mazalot (??????????) in 2 Kings 23:3-5 may be related.
The word's precise meaning is uncertain [1] but its context is that of astronomical constellations, and it is often interpreted as a term for the zodiac, or the zodiacal constellations as a group. [2]
In Yiddish, the term mazalot came to be used in the sense of "astrology" in general, surviving in the expression "mazel tov," meaning "good luck." [3]
