3 Questions For Believers (A work in progress.)
RE: 3 Questions For Believers (A work in progress.)
Those are pretty dumb questions.

RE: 3 Questions For Believers (A work in progress.)
There is ample evidence to support the events of the Biblical narrative to be valid recollections of the historical events referenced.
But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin.

Present it.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Read the works of Eric Cline regarding Ancient Israel. I don't have the time or patience to post it all right now.

Read the works of Eric Cline, he's the head of Classical Studies at The George Washington University and a known atheist. Learn for yourself and expand your knowledge base.

"No"

Sorry, Polaris..I don't believe you. That's within your power to change, of course.

Here are a few books on Ancient Israel authored by Eric Cline.


2004  Cline, E.H. [i]Jerusalem Besieged: From Ancient Canaan to Modern Israel. [/i]Ann Arbor: University of Michigan Press.

2013  Finkelstein, I., D. Ussishkin, and E.H. Cline, eds. Megiddo V: The 2004-2008 Seasons.  Tel Aviv: Tel Aviv University.

2009  Cline, E.H. [i]Biblical Archaeology: A Very Short Introduction. [/i]New York: Oxford University Press.

2007  Cline, E.H. [i]From Eden to Exile: Unraveling Mysteries of the Bible. [/i]Washington, DC: National Geographic Books. (not familiar with this book...you would probably like it the most because he likes to provide alternative explanations for the pre-kingdom history)



Kind of related as well (it is believed Israel started to form in the wake; he may also state they come from the Sea Peoples in this book):

2014  Cline, E.H. 1177 BC: The Year Civilization Collapsed. Princeton: Princeton University Press.

How incredibly lazy of you.  So eager to make the claim, uninterested in elaborating. I don't believe you any more now than I did in my last post.
