It's fiction either way.  And the Bible was written a very, very long time ago for a pretty specific audience.

It's you that missed the point.

Long ago in one way...
Long after the fact being described in another...

There that's three for you.

No, if you go back far enough, Khemikal was disputing that you had evidence that Eve fucked the serpent.  If you interpret a certain passage one way, rather than another, then it's possible that Eve may have..... but you seem to have forgotten the indisputable part.  Your argument, and the evidence for it, was far from indisputable.  So, no.

It is indisputable, as proven by other Jewish literature that states Eve 'copulated' with the serpent.



Again this is indisputable.

The daughter of Midian had no idea Moses was adopted, he was a fugitive at this time, they said he was Egyptian based on his appearance....

But that was NOT Khemikals argument, his argument was implying that Christianity wasn't in Africa before the Atlantic slave trade. The point I was making was that not only did black Christians exist before the Atlantic slave trade, but we go back much further.

I see how you're completely avoiding that subject.

No, as far as I can see, his original complaint was his wondering what 15th century Africans would think of modern day apologists, which you replied to by claiming that the original Hebrews were black.  I've been through that entire thread and didn't see where he either made that claim, nor implied it.  If you have a specific post, link me to it.

You act like you don't see threads posted questioning why black people are Christians because Christianity is the supposed religion of their oppressors.

*emphasis mine*

The above makes absolutely no sense if Christianity already existed in Africa 1500 years prior, so please stop with the dishonest tactics.

*emphasis mine*
Just going to make up rules as you go?

Khemikal never disputed it any further after I made my case, YOU"RE disputing it just now, and as such I should be able to present any evidence I like. What I did present to Khemikal was the fact the Joseph was married to an Egyptian woman, and had two children from which came the Hebrew tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh.



Again, is this good enough for you?

so now you're going to count every tangent of the original discussion as a separate debate? Talk about moving the goalposts.

Here were your original terms...

It does when the dispute is over the meaning of a word in said literature...

The fact that 'copulate' means "sexual intercourse'" IS indisputable, now kindly find somewhere to sit down.

Well, apart from CL, lets just say our crop of theists overs here can't get 45 watts of brilliance. They give so much amno against their own religion than any atheist ever could.
