Sure.You mean like the last 35 years I spent learning Tanach in Hebrew?So you think. I have forgotten more of the bible than you will ever know.Cz has zero knowledge of the Bible except for what he gets from his anti-God sites.Bible is not the only historical record of the time.And where does that come from? Because it's not biblical.They see no problem sacrificing babies by putting them on red hot iron.
You know squat as you have amply demonstrated repeatedly.
Actually, what we know of him is that he was an Edomite. Specifically, he was the son of...ummm...Eliphaz, and Timnaq, if I remember correctly.We can now surmise 2 things...Oh. I'm sorry. He came out, and fought against invaders:Uh...yes it is; it's just not on your Athiest site because it makes the genocide of Amalek look humane.And where does that come from? Because it's not biblical.They see no problem sacrificing babies by putting them on red hot iron.Oh! I get it...God commanded the Jews to eliminate the nation of Amalek.
I guess you didn't look up what Amalek did.
I didn't think so.
Now Google Amalek and Exodus...
HINT, it happens after the Splitting of the Red Sea.
You'll find it if you want to; I'm betting you don't want to.
In fact, if you knew the Biblical verses that explain why the nations of Canaan had to be expelled or exterminated, you might discover how humane God is.
But you don't want to know.
17:8 Then came Amalek, and fought with Israel in Rephidim.
17:9 And Moses said unto Joshua, Choose us out men, and go out, fight with Amalek: to morrow I will stand on the top of the hill with the rod of God in mine hand.
17:10 So Joshua did as Moses had said to him, and fought with Amalek: and Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill.
17:11 And it came to pass, when Moses held up his hand, that Israel prevailed: and when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed.
17:12 But Moses hands were heavy; and they took a stone, and put it under him, and he sat thereon; and Aaron and Hur stayed up his hands, the one on the one side, and the other on the other side; and his hands were steady until the going down of the sun.
17:13 And Joshua discomfited Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword.
17:14 And the LORD said unto Moses, Write this for a memorial in a book, and rehearse it in the ears of Joshua: for I will utterly put out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven.
17:15 And Moses built an altar, and called the name of it Jehovahnissi:
17:16 For he said, Because the LORD hath sworn that the LORD will have war with Amalek from generation to generation.
So, to recap. The God of the Torah, sent the Israelites into the land of the Canaans, and instead of coming as wanderers, and friends, they came as invaders. Then when the inhabitants of that land - specifically Amalek - dares to defend his home, the God of the Israelites declares not only genocide, but declares a generational blood feud with his entire race.
Yeah, I can see why Amalek is so hated...
[1] You know sh!t about Scripture until someone like myself embarrasses you to use a non-anti-God site.
[2] You know sh!t about Scripture because Amalek did not live in Rephidim.
Next questions so you can embarrass yourself even more...
Who was Amalek and why did he and his nation travel across a desert far away from their borders to attack the Children of Israel?
