There are two sets of calculations: those reported in the Bible itself, and estimates when the Bible doesn’t give figures:
Quote:Estimate from Bible: 2,476,636What is Satan’s toll? Ten!
Estimate from Bible and other sources: 24,634,205
But isn’t the jewish god omiscient? How is it that he did not plan ahead and create Eve at the same time as Adam?
Genesis 2:18 KING JAMES VERSION
And the LORD God said, [It is] not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.
Some christians claim that the Bible doesn’t state that the Earth/Universe is 6000 y old and that Genesis is a metaphor. In other words, Genesis is not real according to them.
Genesis 2:18 tells us about the value of women in jewish society. They don’t even mention the name of the woman until many lines later.
Genesis 3:16 or the lines after KING JAMES VERSION
Your desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you.
^^^^^This isn’t metaphor. Genesis 3:16 tells us about the value of women in jewish society.
We can find the same kind of thing again and again in the Bible.
@ 3:20 And Adam called his wife’s name Eve; because she was the mother of all living.
So, it is Adam that gives a name for Eve. It is not Eve who gave a name to Adam.
This is about male dominance.
And if the jewish god is omniscient, than everything is according to plan. It means that it dose not bother his conscious that he will be killing innocent people, babies, fetuses, animals of all kinds.
Ever read Revelation?
I think that a lot of worshipers have convinced themselves that the only people their god torture or kills are evil people.
It makes them comfortable with their belief in that man.
