Proof Of The Bible

[Hollie]

I meant the "Godawful" truth.

The gawds are pretty awful about dealing with the truth.

That’s the most popular consensus and it has been debated for centuries.
You think the Rabbis 500 years ago didn’t know advanced math?
You would be wrong.
The estimate comes from the verse that describes the Jewish women giving birth in Egypt which uses 6 adjectives.
Unlike other religions, we are encouraged to debate and point out possible fallacies.

With respect that you and I mostly agree on things, the number entering Canaan would be much smaller than is supposed here. First, only those 20 years old and younger were allowed to enter (along with Joshua, Caleb, and possibly other faithful leaders). Second, the fecundity that the Israelite women displayed in Egypt/Goshen was likely greatly diminished due to the harsh living conditions of the wilderness.

The gawds are pretty awful about dealing with the truth.

They are uncompromising, it's true.

 

[Hollie]

They are uncompromising, it's true.

They’re uncompromising in that they lie, uncompromisingly.

 

[Woodznutz]

They’re uncompromising in that they lie, uncompromisingly.

I picture a hungover drunk looking in the morning mirror and declaring, "YOU LIE!" But it's the godawful truth.

 

[Indeependent]

They’re uncompromising in that they lie, uncompromisingly.

How old were you when the priest molested you?

 

[JoeBlow]

They acknowledge that the wind can indeed "pile up" water.

In a way that people could cross such a large body of water? Not just a storm surge. lol

 

[Hollie]

I picture a hungover drunk looking in the morning mirror and declaring, "YOU LIE!" But it's the godawful truth.

I picture someone naive and gullible who reads “holy texts” without ever critically examining the myths, fables and tales. When the genesis fable includes a blatant lie, it’s not unfair to acknowledge that.

Apparently that's what happened.

Those holy texts are very beneficial to mankind, especially when believed.

 

[JoeBlow]

Apparently that's what happened.

So where's the proof? There isn't any, so apparently, there's no proof of that ever happening.

Believing it is good for one.

I believe it's the truth.

O! The misery!

 

[Hollie]

I believe it's the truth.

You believe lies are the truth?

if you care to post your MasterCard account number, for a small fee I can sell you lots of truths.

Believe me. It’s the truth.

What specifically is the blatant lie?

What specifically is the blatant lie?

As the fable goes, the gods said that eating the apple would have this affect:

16 And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:
17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.

The serpent said:

4 And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:
5 For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.

A&E (not the cable station) didn't die

The gods lied. Satan told the truth.

OK. Apparently you haven't thought about this very deeply. The talking serpent did lie. Their eyes were opened but only to to their nakedness and they did not become like God and they did die.

The death, a curse, the promise for not complying with the will of God, was never about biological death. They were expelled from Eden in the very day that they ate of the forbidden fruit (which was not an apple silly) , and died the death of sanity, and for the rest of their lives living among 'the wild beasts of the field' the 'the sweat of their brow', thinking, only produced thorns and thistles...

Some people who take the bible literally are definitely nuts, but would you say that the story of the three pigs was a lie because the scientifically verifiable truth is that pigs can't talk or build houses?

The story is a warning to children about losing your sanity for life to the deceptions of talking serpents, those who practice divination, the magical arts, sorcery, what is now know as brainwashing or mind control, and becoming an expendable possession of the deceiver...

What do you get for pretending the danger is not real????
