Any one who thinks the Bible is just ancient creative fiction

Obviously hasn't read the books of Numbers or Chronicles.

No one would bother to make any of that up. No one would bother to try. The stuff is dryer than a legsl text book on corporate tax law.

Beware the sound of one hand clapping.

My guess is….

My best guess is that some parts of the Bible are true, and other parts are fantasy. Who knows? But if I read these sections, they would not change my mind. I'd still be an Agnostic.

My guess is….

I totally agree with that.

Yeah, they made up stuff to explain things before discoveries and science came into play.

Like someone asked, "How did we get to be here?" and so they come up with the story of God making Adam and Eve and how they bred and inbred like crazy before anthropologists or whatever found human remains from thousands and thousands of years ago. Dated like before the time of the bible.

I do think some stuff may have happened, along with made up, and there are certain parts that are a philosophical look at things.

My guess is….

Oh for fuck sake. They're gonna end up chucking you into the lake of fire still screaming "BUT I DONT HAVE ENOUGH INFORMATION TO MAKE A DECISION!"
Lol.

My guess is….

Exactly. Some parts have been proven true. The churches change the bible to fit what they want to do.

My guess is….

Different denominations may disagree on interpretation of different passages but no church actually changes the Bible.

They have changed different things in the Bible over time. Also it was translated wrong for a very long time. The Red sea was actually the Reed sea if I remember right.

No.

You do not remember right. The spot the Hebrews crossed was at Nuweibaa on the Gulf of Aquaba. Back then they didnt call it the gulf of Aquaba, it was all the Red Sea back then. Most of the gulf is over a 1000 ft deep except for a smooth narrow ridge stretching from Nuweibaa NE to Jordan where it is only about 50ft deep. Divers have discovered the remains of men, horses, and coral encrusted chariot hubs. This site was well know in ancient times. At either end of the ridge King Solomon set up carved pillars to commemorate the crossing. The pillar on the Egyptian side has been largely defaced by local muslims. On the Jordanian side in the canyons the Hebrews entered on their way to Jabel el Lawz there are hieroglyphics written in proto-Hebrew. Furthermore at Jabel el Lawz the site where the nation of Israel camped has been found. However after the Jordanian government found out they made it a military site and declared it off limits to everyone.

Beware the sound of one hand clapping.

No.

Thats interesting. I will research it some more. I did say if i remember correctly. No need to be rude about it.

No.

Sorry if I seem rude. I encounter plenty of opposition on this site. Some days seems like everything is a battle.

Beware the sound of one hand clapping.

No.

No worries, i understand that. I usually dont argue but with Donna 😄

My friend that lives.in Jerusalem and speaks Hebrew was the one who pointed out Hebrew translation. Atleast research it as i am going to research what you said.

My guess is….

That is interesting stuff. All students of history should read this.

My guess is….

You are going to burn in Hell.

….out of darkness, out of mind, cast down into the Halls of the Blind!

My guess is….

Good on ya! Don't change for no one

I consider Numbers to be a reference book. It reads like a census report. I haven't studied Chronicles.

I’m going to sue god for false advertising. There were plenty of letters in that book too.

It is like the reference version of Kings.

I'll see if there is a copy of the bible around here, check it out, and get back to you on this.

That's quite honorable and only more or less 2000 years ago!

I don't think that, but I don't think it's the word of God either.

No one would bother to make any of that up. No one would bother to try.
That depends upon whose interests were being fed by the book. Some info on Chronicles:
