"I beg you, my child, to look at the heaven and the earth and see everything that is in them, and recognize that God did not make them out of things that existed. And in the same way the human race came into being."I beseech you, my child, to look at the heaven and the earth and see everything that is in them, and recognize that God did not make them out of things that existed. 2 Maccabees 7:28Have you heard about this before?The creation account addresses the origin of everything. It's crazy that 6,000 years ago they nailed that everything was created from nothing. And passed that knowledge down orally from generation to generation for thousands of years before it was captured in writing.And you think that's comparable to the answers to the origin questions, history, moral code, laws, etc?wrong again----the people of the Indus valley did it ----Sanskrit scriptural writings---It's the same argument. Ancient history was passed down orally. Only the Jews were successful in passing it down. All others failed.Show me where that history was captured like the Jews captured theirs.Can you point to anything which is comparable?No. Not every nation did. There's been nothing like this before.They were chosen for their propensity to pass down traditions orally.The Torah is abundantly clear that being God's "Chosen People" is not the basis of special favors or immunity from the consequences on their actions. They were punished time after time, even at times directly by g-d, which clearly demonstrates that there is no great benefit to being the Chosen People.
God chose the Jews to be the vehicle by which the divine message is conveyed to mankind, through the Torah.
If they were chosen because of their "supremacy," it was merely their demonstrated talent for communication, which continues to this day. Unfortunately, many if not most of the remaining "sons of Abraham" have forgotten the Message that they were commissioned to convey.
Scripture makes it clear that the Jewish people were not chosen for any merit of their own.
Thats just dumb. Damn.
Every nation passed down their traditions orally.
The specific reason stated was that God loved them and took pity on them and so gave them clear instructions about how to live a peaceful prosperous and abundant life by standing guard over the sanctity of their own minds in a wilderness full of other nations that reflected the image and likeness of wild animals, vile and loathsome beasts and birds..
LOL.... I suggest that you go back to the drawing board before you stoop lower and embarrass yourself further than you already have before.
You may be an actor and lying fraud... but you suck at it.
Perhaps you should find another hobby....Can you twerk? Tap dance for nickels? You could make millions!
From the beginning every nation passed down their traditions orally.
Damn. You are a very stupid man.
Look it up yourself you lazy twit.
There is nothing like it. Show me something that is comparable.
First you say that the reason the Jewish people were chosen was because they passed down their traditions orally. I told you that all nations did so ever since people could talk which is the truth. Now you switched the question to show me another nation that captured their history like the Jewish people, not 'the Jews' , captured theirs.
Greek mythology. Half beast half human creatures, the realm of the Gods, children of the gods, the trials and tribulations of humans, moral teachings derived from hard learned lessons of their past, etc.
There's one. It would be much easier if you just shut up and admitted you are wrong.
of course----over there in merry old----they still had BEOWULF and CANTEBURY TALES
You are such a dick.
The story of the creation of Heaven and earth is not about the creation of the universe, solar system, or the earth. Neither is it about the origin of human beings, animals, etc..
When God said 'let there be light' the earth and all its life forms were already in existence for billions of years.
The firmament, basis, of Heaven is the law that stretches out high above your addled head from horizon to horizon like a crystal clear vault.
New Big Bang evidence supports Biblical creation, says Orthodox physicist

You are so pathetic.
When God said 'let there be light' the earth and all its life forms were already in existence for billions of years.
In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
And God saw the light, and it was good; and God divided the light from the darkness.
This story does not follow any know scientific knowledge about the beginning of the universe. The light created by the big bang preceded the existence of the earth by billions of years and the earth did not exist before the sun.
The law was given as a light to the nations 6000 years ago. This shows that in the beginning when God created heaven and earth and said let there be light the earth was already in existence, the light spoken into existence is the law.
The firmament, basis, of Heaven is the law that stretches out high above your addled head from horizon to horizon like a crystal clear vault.

Screw your stupid links to the firmament of your ignorance.
Have you ever heard about what I said about the true meaning of the creation story?
I've known about what I told you since the second grade when I first read the bible because my mother taught me how to understand fairy tales when I was 4 years old..
I've just been biding my time. I am a very patient man.
And even though the Bible was written a very long time ago and read by billions of people over thousands of years my revelation has never been seen or heard of before.
"The kingdom of heaven is like treasure lying hidden and buried in a field. (the OT) The man who found it (Jesus H. Christ) buried it again."( in the NT)
"I will give you treasures hidden in dark vaults hoarded in secret places so you may know that I am the Lord, the God of Israel, who summons you by name."
"Time was when many were aghast at you, my people, and so now many nations recoil at sight of him. And kings curl their lips in disgust; for they see what they had never been told and things unheard before fill their thoughts."
The key to understanding this is understanding that the creation of Heaven and earth, a world above and the world below, did not occur until the law was given as a light to the nations. Before the law was spoken into existence everyone was equal and there were no mountains and no valleys, no doctors, no lawyers, no religious elite, no judges, no cops, no criminals, no rich or poor, no leaders or followers, no world above or world below, world was flat and there was only the law of the jungle, violence and chaos.
The light of creation is the law which separates the darkness by teaching the intelligent to distinguish between good and evil, clean and unclean, true and false, right and wrong, heaven and hell, life and death, the living and the dead, etc.
So yes, God created heaven and earth, the world of mankind, out of nothing, on a planet that was without shape or form and void and created human beings out of nothing that ever existed on this planet before, living creatures with the knowledge of good and evil.
If you do not learn to choose good and reject evil you cannot have the light of life in you, the light of creation.
You will remain as you are, just another jackass lost in the wilderness east of Eden, a world that for you and all the wild beasts of the field remains without shape or form and void.
