That's fraught with it's own problems - were that true, that makes Yahweh a deceiver, and if your god is a deceiver, can you really trust that his "inspired scriptures" aren't the bronze/iron age equivalent of a troll?

Shouldn't be a problem for guys like C4, who already believe in a trickster god. It's not like there isn't "scriptural support" for such a belief......

I also make cooking oil with THC in it for making fried-food treats. My favorite are my deep-fried canna-peño rings from sliced Jalapeño peppers.

True, but it does mean that any claims to truth in scripture are inherently contradictory.

You react with________________ at any explanation I offer.
DO not ever look at evidence which contradicts established viewpoints.
They why ask Christians anything? He didn't ask you, I did. And all you provided was a youtube video with little to no explanation of what it contained and whether there was any verifiable documented, peer-review, or academic publication to support whatever the claim in it is. You didn't even say who is in the video and whether they are archaeologists, historians, laymen, or who they are.

I'd appreciate it if you could answer some of my questions, I'm not trying to bicker with you I'm trying to discuss.
Can you reference any archaeologists or middle-east historians who believe or argue that it's unlikely that evidence in the Sinai peninsular if present would be found?
Do you believe you have an eyewitness account of the Exodus, and if so how is it possible that events both before and after the Sinai crossing are recorded in the same document when all who entered the Sinai perished in the 40-year wait and it was a different generation who left it and entered into Canaan?
Why should I believe against the gradient of clear scientific evidence?
Do you appreciate science and do you think science is important?

The WIN/Gallup End of Year Survey 2013 found the US was perceived to be the greatest threat to world peace by a huge margin, with 24% of respondents fearful of the US followed by: 8% for Pakistan, and 6% for China. This was followed by 5% each for: Afghanistan, Iran, Israel, North Korea. -LINK

Aractus, peer review?
That is like going to the atheist convention and looking for kudos on creation science.
The system is (the entire system) naturalistic/ evolutionary and supported by governments all over.
Are you on drugs?
Anyone who comes along with anything contrary gets the same treatment as I did from FAF, with my post on the Caldwell's trip into Saudi Arabia or Ron Wyatt's discoveries.
These non professional (well, we can chalk them off right away since they don't head up a national geographic dig somewhere) tourists, found and photoed the gigantic Rock split with hydraulic erosion on the rocks at the base of it, pictures on the video.
They found rocks arranged in fences like pens for animals and took pictures which are on the video.
They photo shot the mountain covered in black.
Going by memory- they showed foot mark patterns scratched in rocks in various places.
Also shown were the security fence and guard shack put up by the Saudi authority. (I think that was on the vid, I think there are other vids of them on youtube- again going by memory)
No one is allowed in there, subsequent to the Caldwell's visit years ago.
Wonder why?
I apologize for my short initial post ( I thought the vid would speak better than myself). My mistake. Sorry.

The governments of the world are in on a conspiracy to discredit exodus?
