You have already admitted that you don't know if Paul's claims are true so it is rather pointless speculating.

Making unsubstantiated claims will get you nowhere.

It actually doesn't matter to Maklelan's point whether Paul's claim was true or not. He isn't saying it IS true. He isn't making a claim about Paul's actual bloodline, just pointing out that the fact that he would make the claim at all suggests that some genealogical associations were held as important outside of the priesthood.

Personally, I would argue that Paul's claim is more likely to be a general claim of tribal affiliation than an implication of a detailed personal bloodline.

It seems you don't really know what I'm arguing.

Maklelan, as with all newcomers, I will give you the inside scoop about aa5874. I have him on my ignore list, and I will explain why. You see how he has a post-count of 12,848? All of those posts are just like what you see here in this thread.

You are wasting your time. Maklelan KNOWS that my posts are creating serious problems for HJers.

Maklelan

You can't possibly think that I am actually worried about your arguments. No one is that oblivious.

ApostateAbe

aa5874 is a special case. He really is that oblivious.

aa5874

Well, we will see who is worried.

Maklelan

Oh, well played.
