Vertigo_One [Ops Mod] replied to Matthew Bell's discussion What religion are you and why?"I see reason to believe that they freed themselves with no battle, or that they even came from Egypt.
Despite all the evidence from the sources?
According to wikipedia they arrived in Egypt 70 heads strong, but during the course of only 4…"
Eystein, replied to Matthew Bell's discussion What religion are you and why?"You talk as if every canaanite lived in a lavish palace, with each a hundred concubines. These were normal people, and people act differently. This is nothing but propaganda. Don't deny that the Israeli allegedly had a thorn in the…"
Vertigo_One [Ops Mod] replied to Matthew Bell's discussion What religion are you and why?"Yes, given that they knew, or even cared enough to know several centuries later. What possible reason do we have to accept the Israeli myths for what took place in Egypt as true anyway?
Because Egypt was the superpower of the time. You don't…"
Eystein, replied to Matthew Bell's discussion What religion are you and why?"If that is true, then most of them would have submitted. No one is that stupid. Not even monkeys."
Vertigo_One [Ops Mod] replied to Matthew Bell's discussion What religion are you and why?"Canaan is it? Several centuries in advance? You find that reasonable?
The point of it was to ensure that it was definitely not the ambitions of people. They were given the inital warning, and subsequent warnings, more than a lifetime before the…"

Prophesied how? Obvious case of religious fanaticism and…"
Vertigo_One [Ops Mod] replied to Matthew Bell's discussion What religion are you and why?"He was making a point about his sovereignty. The people who were being expelled had been given warnings several centuries in advance, and had been prophesies too in the mean time. If a simple natural disaster happened, they could have not got the…"
Josh Weeden replied to Matthew Bell's discussion What religion are you and why?"and if someone killed someone else today and they claimed god made them do it theyd be classed as a madman at once"
Josh Weeden replied to Matthew Bell's discussion What religion are you and why?"then why didnt he do it himself rather than ask people to break one of those shiny new commandments of his?"
Vertigo_One [Ops Mod] replied to Matthew Bell's discussion What religion are you and why?"The context for God killing someone is different from us. There is an important point here. God in fact kills everyone. God is the one who gives us all our lives. He controls when we can live and when we can die. So when he ordered the killing of…"
Josh Weeden replied to Matthew Bell's discussion What religion are you and why?".....so when god ordered massacres of opposing tribes? Thats perfectly sinless?"
Vertigo_One [Ops Mod] replied to Matthew Bell's discussion What religion are you and why?"I recall that you have said the important things in the Bible are stated literally. And I would imagine that the story of Abraham, which is the basis of THREE religions, would be literal. But even if Abraham was scared, the story still shows that…"

Vertigo_One [Ops Mod] replied to Matthew Bell's discussion What religion are you and why?"Of course the languages arn't 100% comparable, and some nuances are lost, but the fundamental details are all in place.
Also what about when the bible contradicts itself what then.
How about you give me an example of a contradiction, and…"

Have you ever notice how life is wierd?
Life is wierd, as im sure you all already know, I mean we all have come accross things in our lives that dont make sense or have done things that only two days ago we would have never even considering doing.
