I base my belief system from the Bible. I saw this powerpoint and thought it was interesting and so decided to share with others. Even if it turned out that this powerpoint was completely wrong, that doesn't mean my faith in God or the Bible would change at all.JATomlinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16719219290647523740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6944775590944762112.post-49596296870156544692011-11-28T13:09:52.047-08:002011-11-28T13:09:52.047-08:00think this over, are you honestly basing your enti...think this over, are you honestly basing your entire system of beliefs on what a few irrelevant symbols mean?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6944775590944762112.post-82058834124033394602011-06-17T20:56:14.427-07:002011-06-17T20:56:14.427-07:00It is much clearer in the original oracle bone sym...It is much clearer in the original oracle bone symbols. The example given here is not the most striking. The words for boat, I think - a vessel with eight people (mouths) and for God or heaven (with three mouths!) are certainly thought-provoking, as are a few involving trees.CChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08958357592343213537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6944775590944762112.post-71086398645732537672011-04-09T15:05:44.902-07:002011-04-09T15:05:44.902-07:00Thank you for the comments everybody.

While I am not Chinese, nor do I know the language and cannot hope to interpret these things for myself, I do know that the language itself (many different dialects in China) as well as the symbols have been changed from time to time, just as spelling and meanings of words in the English language change from time to time. While I can't know for sure, I'm thinking that the people who made the slide show were using ancient Chinese symbols rather than the modern ones people use today.<br /><br />Thanks again for the comments!

Perhaps it is due to the modernization of the language (which seems strange, since the words I do recognize are written in modern format), but the character shown here for "alive" is actually just an accent mark. An object's characteristic of living is almost always described by "活" or "生", the former meaning "to live" in the active infinitive and the latter meaning "birth" or "life" as an abstract concept. <br /><br />The third character, "person" is actually joined in the center, looking like “人”. What is presented there is actually a phonetic marking for "er" from our phonics training. The reason it cannot be the two strokes on the bottom of the final character is not only this, but also because the introduction of one word as part of another, similar to the English concept of root words, is called a "radical", and looks more like the left portion of "仁". The two horizontal lines are the other half of the word, and the thing on the left is the radical equivalent to "man" of this word. <br /><br />I hope this helps!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6944775590944762112.post-35143722657947030572011-03-21T09:25:25.058-07:002011-03-21T09:25:25.058-07:00That is very interesting.
