[QUOTE]Originally posted by neo*geo: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by homeylu: [b] Evidence 1 Code of Hammarubi(dated 2250 BC- 4000 lines) -excavated by Frenceh archaeologist, M. de Morgan in 1902,He is the Amraphel of Genesis 14:1 who helped to capture Sodom and from whom Abraham wrested the spoils of battle.[/b][/QUOTE] Source please... [QUOTE]Originally posted by homeylu: [b] Evidence 2 Tel Armana Tablets-(dated 1450BC)300 tablets of Baked clay-written in a Babylonian language (Abraham was 'called out of Babylon')The tablets show that Palestine was a province of Egypt and had been for a long time a province of Babylon. They were written when Hebrews were captives in Egypt and show that Palestine was in a greatly disturbed condition at the time. These letters refer to the Canaanites and their enemies, the Hebrews. They refer to the city of Jerusalem which name was not until the finding of these tablets known to be in use at that early date.[/b][/QUOTE] Source please.... this is complete nonesense. If you believe the hebrews were in Egypt when these tablets were written, then it couldn't have been the hebrews causing problems in Canaan. So where were they? In Egypt or Canaan? [QUOTE]Originally posted by homeylu: [b] Evidence 3 The Moabite stone (dated 850BC) found near the Dead Sea "read just like a book out of Kings"[/b][/QUOTE] Source please.... [QUOTE]Originally posted by homeylu: [b] Evidence 4 Ramses II- Pharoah at the time of the Hebrew slavery in Egypt (The city of Pithom has been discovered, the actual storehouse built by the Hebrew slaves has been found, the lower portions made of brick containing straw and the upper portions made of brick without straw. Pithom is mentioned in Exodus 1:11, where we read, "Therefore they set taskmasters over them to afflict them their burdens. And they built for Pharaoh supply cities, Pithom and Ramses." Later we read that the Israelites were commanded to furnish their own straw for the bricks they made. "Therefore go now and work; for no straw shall be given you, yet you shall deliver the quota of bricks." Exodus 5:18. Thus the ruins show that the Bible account is correct.0[/b][/QUOTE] Source please... The bible never mentions the name of the Pharoah at the time of the Exodus nor does it give an accurate description of locations in Egypt where the hebrews were supposedly enslaved. Furthermore, there is no evidence that the Jews were enslaved in Egypt or that the Exodus ever happened. If it did, the Egyptians and none of their rivals bothered not to document it. [QUOTE]Originally posted by homeylu: [b] Evidence 5 Tomb of Schechem in Palestine (mummy discovered buried like Ancient Egyptians) said to be the tomb of Joseph.[/b][/QUOTE] Source please... [QUOTE]Originally posted by homeylu: [b] Archaeology has never found anything that contradicted the Bible. It has found many things that agree with the Bible!![/b][/QUOTE] This is a lie. The biggest one being the Exodus. All archaeological records and historical timelines don't fit the Bible's version of it. The only Semitic people that roamed the Sinai at the time the Exodus was supposed to have happened were bedouins called 'Shasu' by the Egyptians... [QUOTE]Originally posted by homeylu: [b] You dont have to ever have freaking believe one single word in the Bible Ausar, it doesnt make me one bit of difference. But you and other skeptics have yet to prove the Bible wrong. [/b][/QUOTE] The Bible is right about many things but to take it literally or as unquestionable history is stretching its value. Remember that it was originally written by Jews and for Jews so there is bias and exaggerating on the part of the authors. There may very well have been an Exodus but if it was as major as described in the bible, there would be some written or archaeological record of it. David, Moses, and Abraham may have never existed. I agree with Ausur. You should read Israel Finklestein for a different perspective. Bible fanatics hate him because he compares the bible to archaeological records and to a degree minimizes the 'greatness' of ancient Judea. [/QB][/QUOTE]
