B/W Photodude Posted August 17, 2015 Posted August 17, 2015 I initially took it as a "fill in the blank" for whatever you thought completed the statement. Then I decided the Blank was for the word "civil in the title.

Moderators Bravus Posted August 17, 2015 Moderators Posted August 17, 2015 It takes minuscule knowledge of history to reject this population. Confucian Chinese civilisation dramatically pre-dates any 'Christian' civilisation. Quote Truth is important
LifeHiscost Posted August 17, 2015 Author Posted August 17, 2015 It takes minuscule knowledge of history to reject this population. Confucian Chinese civilisation dramatically pre-dates any 'Christian' civilisation. Are you talking about after the languages were instituted when the human race tried to build a tower to make sure they could escape any flood by God, or just before the time of Christ at some unknown date?

B/W Photodude Posted August 17, 2015 Posted August 17, 2015 Confucian Chinese civilisation dramatically pre-dates any 'Christian' civilisation. Except there were born-again followers of Christ before there were ANY "civilizations."

Moderators Bravus Posted August 18, 2015 Moderators Posted August 18, 2015 ...an interesting claim since Confucius pre-dated Christ by 500 years... It may depend on how you define 'civilisation' and how you define 'followers of Christ'. Quote Truth is important

It may depend on how you define 'civilisation' and how you define 'followers of Christ'. And you don't think by chance that Adam and Eve were followers of Christ?

Moderators Bravus Posted August 18, 2015 Moderators Posted August 18, 2015 I don't think they could have said that they were. If the net on 'followers of Christ' is cast that wide, OK. The net on 'civilisation' must be cast quite narrowly to exclude China from about 1200 BC onward. The claim in the OP then seems to boil down to a matter of definitions rather than one of substance.
