You were never slaves in Egypt

For you were (not) slaves in Egypt: The ancient memories behind the Exodus myth this is an interesting article about the historicity of the Passover. I can't cut and paste from my tablet, but would welcome some help.

Haaretz is a liberal source, and we already know the liberal Jews are their own worst enemies.

And it’s pretty disgusting for you liberal antisemites to start a thread right after Passover saying it’s all a lie. That would be as if I started a thread after Easter to say that Christians made the whole story up about Jesus, and it never happened. I wouldn’t do that because I don’t shit over other people’s religions.

Your rabbis know it's a founding myth.

Why the Exodus Story Has Value Despite Being Complete Myth

How we know that the Exodus from Egypt and revelation of the Ten Commandments on Mount Sinai are pure mythology. And why we can still derive much value from those traditions.

I’m going to post a hit piece on Islam right after Ramadan.

I‘m done here. I have a very low threshold for the anti-Jew leftists today.

The discussions on the board claim that archaeology confirms the Bible stories. It doesn't.

Doubting the Story of Exodus

Many scholars have quietly concluded that the epic of Moses never happened, and even Jewish clerics are raising questions. Others think it combines myth, cultural memories and kernels of truth.

No person alive in the USA was ever a slave, either.

Many threads are claiming that archaeology proves the Bible.

It’s interesting, isn’t it? We have liberals on one thread blaming slavery for black people’s problems today, and we have liberals on another thread saying Jews made up the story about being slaves in Egypt.

Either way, both are true….and neither have any impact today.

Yup. Surada is a Muslim-sympathizer, and thus loves starting up anti-Jew threads.

…..as it relates to only Jews of course.

Do you think archaeology proves the Bible?

Whenever archeological sites are checked they overwhelmingly confirm the biblical stories. So you are simply lying.

I am not religious in the slightest, but I enjoy archeology and history, and the history described in the Bible is pretty accurate. Seventy percent or so is spot on based on other research.

This is a discussion of the historicity of the Bible.

The “discussion” appears to be you citing one rabbi and some alleged consensus of (some) archeologists who doubt the Exodus story.

But your citation to one rabbi and some archeologists isn’t the be all and end all. I don’t have a dog in this fight. But a very quick search reveals things your one-sided OP overlook:

Biblical Exodus fact or fiction?

This is a loaded question. Although biblical scholars and archaeologists argue about various aspects of Israel’s Exodus from Egypt, many of them agree that the Exodus occurred in some form or another.

The question “Did the Exodus happen” then becomes “When did the Exodus happen?” This is another heated question. Although there is much debate, most people settle into two camps: They argue for either a 15th-century B.C.E. or 13th-century B.C.E. date for Israel’s Exodus from Egypt.

The article “Exodus Evidence: An Egyptologist Looks at Biblical History”from the May/June 2016 issue of Biblical Archaeology Review1 wrestles with both of these questions—“Did the Exodus happen?” and “When did the Exodus happen?” In the article, evidence is presented that generally supports a 13th-century B.C.E. Exodus during the Ramesside Period, when Egypt’s 19th Dynasty ruled.

The Exodus: Fact or Fiction?

Is the Biblical Exodus fact or fiction? Scholars and archaeologists argue about aspects of Israel’s Exodus but many agree it occurred.
