Quote:There is precious little archaeological evidence for most of them. There are Assyrian references to Amon, Hezekiah and Manessah and a Babylonian reference to Jehoiachin and Zedekiah. There is a probable reference to Ahaz(iah?) in the Tel Dan Stele. Other than that, there isn't much out there.I think, its safe to say, we will find the evidence. People have been skeptical about the Bible and pretty much always proven wrong.
'The Bible talks about Hitites? The Bible is a load of rubbish, there were no Hitities!'
'The Bible being accuarte? Its a fabrication, we dont have any dont back to BCE.'
'David was a myth and so was Goliath'
I could go on and on, but the Bible is being proven more and more...
Quote:Oh yeah he was patient alright; I see that shining through every time I read Genesis chapter 6. Nothing like a good old flood to destroy most of every life form on Earth. Let's not forget how he also cursed all of mankind in the garden for the disobedience of one couple and not only did he curse man he even cursed the animals who had nothing to do with it. It is referred to as the fall of mankind in the O.T. and N.T. but apparently God took it out on the animals too. Is it because Satan disguised himself as a snake? What the fuck did the animal kingdom have to do with any of that?
How about you dismantle my arguements with out resorting to straw men and reading the Bible like a fundamentalist

Its ok to have doubt, just dont let that doubt become the answers.
You dont hate God, you hate the church game.
"God is not what you imagine or what you think you understand. If you understand you have failed." Saint Augustine
Your mind works very simply: you are either trying to find out what are God's laws in order to follow them; or you are trying to outsmart Him. -Martin H. Fischer
