I can't get the volume to work

Then don't discard
Then don't discard the inconvenient parts to prop up futurism.

That is hilarious, you discount MOST of the Bible to fit your warped view.

My volume works just fine. Did you click on the volume control to the right of the pause button?

Changing Hosea and Isaiah and ignoring Daniel make a mess of scripture

Yes tried that.

Yes tried that.

Can't help you there. Go to youtube and search using the title.

 

[james bond]

Do you also believe in Aesop's Fables? They were written about the same time as the OT stories.

What does that have to do with the Bible?

Like Hosea, Isaiah and Daniel

Both are didactic literature.

Heh. I already evaluated you in the S&T forum. It's hard to trust you as a fellow Christian if you look at the Bible solely as that.

The forum above R&E .

I don't know what your purpose is. Rejecting science and education isn't my thing.

 

[Colin norris]

Sinai is only 135 miles across at its widest point.

Go away. Next you'll be suggesting they all walked on water or the seas parted to facilitate it.
You people are delusional.

It's a rather silly story.

 

[surada]

A small tribe of a couple of hundred may have crossed the Red Sea into the Sinai, but not two million. Marching side by side at seven each would take many, many years.

It's only 135 miles across Sina.

It's only 135 miles across Sina.

The scriptures indicate that the entire "Sojourn" (the amount of time spent temporarily in a certain location) of the Israelites actually living within the borders of Egypt lasted only 215 years.........a total of 430 years from the time of the promise made to Abraham by God. As Paul stated clearly.....The Law (of Moses) came 430 years after the promise made to Abraham (Gal. 3:17)........the scriptures detail that the promise was made to Abraham 215 years previous to the sojourn in Egypt (Genesis 13:1-3). Add the 2 numbers together you get the correct 430 year total, as confirmed by Paul's record while inspired by the Holy Spirit of God.

As far as Archaeology goes......there are more that enough historical archaeology finds that prove that Israel was a real nation with real people. 1. The Merneptah Stele mentions the conquest of Israel by the Egyptian Military. 2. The Tel Dan Stele recorded in "Aramaic" directly mentions the "House of David". 3. The Mesha Stele...a.k.a., The Moabite Stone mentions both the "House of David" and the "House of Yahweh".

Nevertheless, there are also finds from the Egyptian Monarchy recorded in the Amarna Letters dated in the 14th century B.C., between Pharaoh Aknenaten and minor rulers in the conquered land of Canaan ..........these letters make it known that Jerusalem was in existence and called "Urusallim" by the Egpytians.....Jersusalem was already a significant city during the 14th century B.C.

Other confirmed ancient cities such as Hazor, Megiddo, and Gezer all had the same design features of a 6 chambered city gate system........which is direct confirmation that all (Jersusalem, aka, Urusallim), Hazor, Megiddo, and Gezer were all constructed during the time period of the reign of Solomon (1 Kings 9:15)

Some of the construction attributed to Solomon were built by Omri. Jerusalem was much smaller than we thought.

Ancient Jerusalem: The Village, the Town, the City

Ancient Jerusalem made such an enormous impact on Western civilization that it’s hard to fathom how small its population really was.
