(September 18, 2020 at 12:22 pm)John 6IX Breezy Wrote: Read the story. They expressed abandonment at Moses' absence, not a sense of insufficient evidence. To the contrary, they built the calf to make sense of that evidence and thus referred to it as the god who took them out of Egypt lol:
"Come, make us gods who will go before us. As for this fellow Moses who brought us up out of Egypt, we don’t know what has happened to him [...] Then they said, 'these are your gods, Israel, who brought you up out of Egypt” (Exodus 32:1).
So what you are saying is that those people only had Moses word that it was Yahweh that did those things and it took a massacre to get them back believing! I find this as being they were forced into Moses beliefs by force and had insufficient cause to actually believe them selves that is was Yahweh!
Seems very suspect to me.
(by the way I think the exodus is entirely made up)
