On The Reliability of The Old Testament

[Taz]

Why should it not be reliable? Don't we rely on ancient Egyptian writings?

Yes, besides from digging through the ruins, we learn much about ancient Egypt through the eyes of ancient Egyptians. Likewise, the Old Testament is ancient Israel's account of ancient Israel. And much of it coincides with what modern historians have discovered about it.

Much about ancient Israel that does not coincide with modern history books is not history in the traditional sense to begin with. Jesus and St. Paul, for example, taught a resurrection from it contrary to what the Pharisees taught. The corporeal resurrection of the Pharisees would and should mount its truth claims on historical documentation, and it would fall short. The new life in God, on the other hand, of Christ and the apostles defies historical documentation.

If only Christians would believe the Scriptures.

What's the proof for the 40 day flood?

Why are you asking me? Did I say anything about proving a 40-day flood?

Get a life, ya broken record ya.

Well you said "If only Christians would believe the Scriptures." So like, maybe if you could prove the Flood, that would help?

Two asteroids struck in the polar regions ~10,000 years ago instantly vaporizing 1500 gigatons of ice into the stratosphere resulting in worldwide flooding events.

Doesn't mention a flood. You suck at this.

What goes up must come down, dummy?

Did you see where it mentioned a climate altering event?

Millions of years ago. So what? Did it say a 40 day flood that some guy made a boat and had 2 of every animal on it? I must have missed that part.

In every ancient culture, you will find a great flood story. Something happened back then. The Nile River, which runs thru Egypt, overflows it's banks every year.

But no record of a 40 day, world wide flood. So did it happen or what?

No. 10,000 to 12,000 years ago.

Stop reading an allegorical account literally, dummy, and then you won't be so dumb.

[The Irish Ram]

The old testament explains the show in 6000 year old terms.
Maybe God should have said " Mo.. The book of life is a desktop with a Ryzen threadripper and 128G of DDR4 ram. The HDD is solid and 13,000 terabytes with 7000 backups via raid..Tell them there are 4 trillion "watchers" with Go-pros going directly into my database.
They'll understand. Tell Ezekiel to explain it makes Google look like a coloring book.

That's kind of ironic, when you consider that God embedded a code in the Bible that could not be unlocked with out a computer.

 

[The Irish Ram]

The Scriptures of the Old Testament had to survive the Babylonian captivity under heavy censorship. Some passages were altered, and others are deep and mysterious.

But, the copies hidden by the Essenes, show the OT survived in tact. It had to remain in it's original state, because the code embedded in the OT relied on letters being in their original place in the text.

[ding]

A proof is an argument from hypotheses (assumptions) to a conclusion. Each step of the argument follows the laws of logic.
