How to shut up people who are against abortion
RE: How to shut up people who are against abortion
(May 28, 2013 at 8:04 pm)Consilius Wrote: When the Bible was written, everyone was a theist. That's why it needs interpretation. God knew what Pharaoh would do to the Israelites, but, at the same time, he KNEW it was going to happen, and at the time that he wanted. He didn't make Pharaoh hate Moses in the other sense.
Of course, the awestruck Jewish men who wrote the Torah gave God credit for their Exodus in a much more direct manner. To take that part literally, would, of course, contradict the Bible.
But the same passage is in the Qur'an and it clearly states that God hardened the Pharoah's heart as a punishment for the Pharoah. The Pharoah begged and pleaded Moses to ask God to stop the punishment raining down on the city on the condition that the Pharoah would believe and also release the Jews. But when the punishment from the city was lifted, Pharoah turned back on his word and refused to believe, so his heart was hardened to ensure that he dies as a disbeliever.
