[*]You started this thread. None of the posts have been removed. Read what you wrote. I think of you as being reasonably intelligent.
As usual and on cue, you evade directly answering the question because you know it would make the biblical god look evil, unjust and like a tyrannical dictator with no mercy for the innocent. If you did believe such, you'd be right.
The killing of thousands upon thousands of innocent women, babies and children can never be justified by an honest and sane person.
[*]I give you the same explanation that I give 6 year olds, verbatim. You don't get it and they get it without me having to repeat it.
Again you run away and evade directly answering simple questions. You can't logically explain why the biblical god killed off thousands of innocent, yet labels himself as a god of love, neither can you explain how your god can claim to be seen, yet claims that no man hath seen him. Instead, you evade and filibuster instead of directly answering for fear of incriminating the biblical god and your beliefs.
[*]Any orthodox Jewish rabbi will give you the information that you seek. Just pick one and quit whining.fff
More evading. I didn't ask for a response from a rabbi in answer to the so-called Jeremiah book you claim exists. I asked you.
So far, you've come up short and empty of evidence proving that such a book exists.
Instead of admitting your failure, you'd rather go on making excuses. It's quite obvious that no such book exists but your vanity and pride will not allow you to admit such at this point and time.
[*]You read all around the scripture and do not bother to try to understand them.
What scripture are you referring to? For a person who claims to not have a holy spirit, I can hold my own against most biblical believers, including yourself.
Now please tell me which scripture I don't try to understand.
[*]You posted links to articles about a man dying, being embalmed, and laid to rest in a coffin. Plus you claim that the coffin was too small. Yet the man lives but you have no explanation for that. E-V-I-D-E-N-C-E.
No, I posted an article that gave major doubts to
claims that a man actually died; that a man was embalmed; and that this same man was put in a small coffin for several days.
Nevermind the fact that none of this was recorded by independent eyewitnesses and/or medical professionals.
When it's all said and done, you're merely taking the word of a known religious sheister.
[*]Your world-reknowned archeologist completed his findings without gathering any evidence and tells us that he offers his opinion. You are contending with your own expert.
This world renowned archaelogists offered far more than an opinion. He offered the absence of evidence of an exodus as described in the bible. Why you refuse to admit this is beyond me.
What the biblical author of the exodus offers is a mere opinion and a story that can't be corroborated by any book outside the bible.
Isn't it ironic that no surrounding nations recorded info related to this exdous? Isn't it even more ironic that there's no extra-biblical evidence proving that 2-3 million people left Egypt in one night?
Of ALL the historians who were alive at that time, it's suspicious that not ONE of them decided to write about such a magnifcent event, an event that would've been the story of the century in that part of the world.
Egypt's enemies would loved to have humiliated them by recording the history of slaves overpowering one of the greatest nations in the world at that time, but not one word came from Egypt's enemies....not one. Why? Because it never happened.
To go even further, there's no evidence that a kingdom of Israel, as described in the bible,
ever existed.
How could this be? If this "great" kingdom traded, fought and had ties with surrounding nations, there would SURELY be
some type of recording by those nations mentioning such a kingdom, but there's nothing. There's zilch....nada....not one shred of evidence of such a kingdom. Only in the bible does such a kingdom exist.
It's ashamed that folks just choose to believe such fables
only because it's in the bible, a book known and shown to be full of untrue statements and inaccurate historical documentation. That's your prerogative.
[*]Faith grows by continually hearing the Word of God. You refuse to hear so you get nothing.
You're mistaken. I don't need faith to grow, I need evidence. The bible doesn't provide much of that at all.
