THE BIBLE: God’s Word or Man’s?
#20
RE: THE BIBLE: God’s Word or Man’s?



Quote:As examples of the Bible being inspired by God, I presented in my OP the examples of two Bible writers who knew the earth is a 3D circle that hangs upon nothing.Upon what do you base your speculation that Abraham and Moses are mythical figures? Do you have any evidence of this?


I just finished saying the bible has no credibility as evidence. Plus, you need to first to establish the existence of God,which you have not done.


That Abraham was most likely a mythical figure is a widespread consensus among real scholars.PLUS the Davidic empire most probably did not exist.PLUS Judaism has NEVER been a homogeneous religion. When the Torah was first written down in the seventh century bce,many thousands of Jews were still polytheists.

Quote:The Bible Unearthed: Archaeology's New Vision of Ancient Israel and the Origin of Its Sacred Texts[1] is a 2001 book about the archaeology of Israel and its relationship to the origins of the Hebrew Bible. The authors are Israel Finkelstein, Professor of Archaeology at Tel Aviv University, and Neil Asher Silberman, a contributing editor to Archaeology Magazine.

Quote:Finkelstein and Silberman point out that there is still no evidence for the existence of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Lot, Moses, and Joshua. There is no evidence that Jewish people existed as an identified people that were enslaved in Egypt. There is no evidence that over 600,000 men (plus women and children - the number could have been over a million) had an exodus from Egypt and wandered in the desert for 40 years. According to the Bible, 38 of these 40 years were actually spent encamped at Kadesh-barnea. This area has been turned upside down for decades, looking for even a tiny piece of pottery from this supposed time. It is not likely that this many people would have lived here this long and not left archeological evidence.

That the Exodus and Moses are myth as beyond reasonable doubt has been widely known by archaeologists for around 20 years.


If you are capable of engaging your cerebral cortex,do some Googling, instead of regurgitating third rate apologetics,which so far have managed to amuse and mildly annoy people with their willful ignorance and purblind stupidity.

Bored now,nothing more to say to you,it's like trying to communicate with a shrub. Tiger
