The echo of Genesis in Chinese signs

The oldest passages of the bible in Chinese signs

Blessed be the LORD, the God of Shem”
Genesis is the oldest book of the Bible. It was written by Moses when the people of Israel moved from Egypt to Canaan. That was in the 15th century BC (Before Christ). Nowadays liberal theologians suppose that the chapters 1-11 of Genesis have been added to the Bible during the Babylonian exile in the 6th century BC. However, there are sources out of the Bible, which show an echo of these old events and so prove the old age and the reality of these events.
A very remarkable source is formed by the Chinese signs. The Chinese do not use alphabetic writing; their words are represented by symbols. This symbol language has been used for more than 4000 years. It dates from the time just after the Babylonian confusion of tongues. The events recorded in Genesis 1-11 were still well-known when the Chinese signs were designed. In the mean time the culture of China has been changed thoroughly, but the echo of Genesis still exists in the Chinese signs. Even after the spelling-reform of the 20th century that echo has not disappeared.
The fact that the oldest stories of the Bible can be found in Chines signs is an evidence that Chinese as well as Jews (= the modern name for the people of Israel) have common ancestors, who have lived these stories and have told them to their descendants. This proves that these stories are historical events in stead of inventions of the Jews.

The Chinese language contains about 600 basic symbols, which are basic words. Other words can be formed by combining these basic symbols to more complicated pictures. Sometimes a symbol is added to a word in order to present the pronunciation of that word. In this article we consider words without that pronunciation symbols.

The problem here is that the traditional Chinese characters evolved from pictographs...

I would be careful of what you hear from Kong Hee. He's a wolf in sheep's clothing. He makes a lot of money fleecing the masses.

Yea, a lot of those characters you see were very different when they began...It is like saying history is HIStory...It works out in English but not in other languages...

For once, Vizza, we agree. Christianity has been peddled in China since the Jesuits arrived in the 15th century.
All of a sudden for the first time, a Chinese -speaker finds a lot of Biblical stories hidden in Chinese pictograms?

Also, I don't see how you can find stories in pictograms. They have meanings, but rather specific ones. You only get stories or poems or didactic works by putting a lot of pictograms together to set out a story of meanings.

I know there was some claim of a pictogram representing a boat with Noah and his family in, but I believe that not many people found that plausible.

Moses didn't write Genesis and certainly not in the 15th century BCE.

Many of these sources, the themes and practices, come from earlier Canaanite and ANE Religions. Echos of old events don't prove the reality of those events.

A very remarkable source is formed by the Chinese signs. The Chinese do not use alphabetic writing; their words are represented by symbols. This symbol language has been used for more than 4000 years. It dates from the time just after the Babylonian confusion of tongues.The events recorded in Genesis 1-11 were still well-known when the Chinese signs were designed.

Even after the spelling-reform of the 20th century that echo has not disappeared.

As always things evolve it was not 'designed' as is. Modern Chinese is not 4000 years old. The Seal Script became standardized in the Qin Dynasty (221-206 BCE). The oldest evidence we have of any style of Chinese is the Bone Script (1200-1050 BCE) - they were divinations for ancestral spirits ranging from a couple characters to 30-40 characters on bone.

The fact that the oldest stories of the Bible can be found in Chines signs is an evidence that Chinese as well as Jews (= the modern name for the people of Israel) have common ancestors, who have lived these stories and have told them to their descendants. This proves that these stories are historical events in stead of inventions of the Jews.

You can't have 'stories' in signs. We already know that all people spread out from Africa to the Mid-East and from there to the West and East. Furthermore, we know that people from the Caspian and Black Sea region went east permanently or for trade purposes around 1,000 BCE. Also, we know that Christian missionaries in the 15th century went there as well. So even if these stories have some semblance of details there are other more plausible reason for the Chinese hearing of them.

When I did missionary work in China, I bought a book regarding this, the pastor we were visiting, who by the way was in prison for 20+ years and very sweet man, believed that the garden of Eden was actually in China because of these types of grandiose claims that they worshiped and knew YHWH, etc.

Anyway, this guys probably making some $$$ off the selling of these things.

Oh Yeah, let's not forget that Jews have been in China since the 7th or 8th century CE.

They aren't recognized as Jews though...

I am not referring to the modern period. My point was that the stories mentioned by the OP could have come from these earlier peoples.
