[QUOTE]Originally posted by neo*geo: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by homeylu: [b]How about typing any of these findings into a search engine, as there are numerous "sources" out there.[/b][/QUOTE] Oh sure, only an idiot would believe every source that comes up on a search engine. I could just as easily find sources to prove aliens built the pyramids. [QUOTE]Originally posted by homeylu: [b] Originally posted by neo*geo [b]You should read Israel Finklestein for a different perspective[/b] One source! Is this the best you can do????[/B][/QUOTE] There are many others. There is a whole movement in archaeology to debunk the bible. Finklestien has given a more thorough explanation as what inaccuracies are in the bible than anyone else out there. "The Bible Unearthed is a balanced, thoughtful, bold reconsideration of the historical period that produced the Hebrew Bible. The headline news in this book is easy to pick out:[b] there is no evidence for the existence of Abraham, or any of the Patriarchs; ditto for Moses and the Exodus; and the same goes for the whole period of Judges and the united monarchy of David and Solomon. In fact, the authors argue that it is impossible to say much of anything about ancient Israel until the seventh century B.C., around the time of the reign of King Josiah. [/b]In that period, "the narrative of the Bible was uniquely suited to further the religious reform and territorial ambitions of Judah."" From Amazon.com [QUOTE]Originally posted by homeylu: [b] Originally posted by Neo*Geo [b]"there is no evidence that the Jews were enslaved in Egypt or that the Exodus ever happened"......"There may very well have been an Exodus "[/b] Contradicting yourself again I see.[/B][/QUOTE] There is no evidence that the Exodus happened however I leave open the possibility that it could have happened. Abscense of evidence doesn't always mean something never happened. [QUOTE]Originally posted by homeylu: [b] Originally posted by neo*geo [b]there would be some written or archaeological record of it.[/b] If the code of Hammarubi, the tel armana tablets, and the Moabite stone are not archaelogical records, I dont know what to make of it.[/B][/QUOTE] Yes, those are historical records but the Hammurabi Code, and tel Amarna tablets make no mention of Israel or the Hebrews. The Egyptians make no mention of Israel until the 19th dynasty after Ramses II's death. [QUOTE]Originally posted by homeylu: [b] As I stated before I DO NOT TAKE EVERY SINGLE WORLD IN THE BIBLE LITERALLY and definitely not word for word, but it is a historical account of events that have taken place throughout history, and archaelogical evidence does not refute these events. [/b][/QUOTE] There is plenty to refute the Exodus and biblical accounts of how the Earth was formed and humans were created. The biggest problem with the Exodus is the Egyptians themselves. They make no mention in their history of hebrew slaves, or plagues, or the parting of the Red Sea. [QUOTE]Originally posted by homeylu: [b] And we do hundreds of thousands of Hyskos were driven out of Egypt after more than a century of fighting. Hencefore, there was an EXODUS FROM EGYPT [/b][/QUOTE] If you believe the Hyksos were the hebrews then you are ADMITTING that the bible is wrong. The bible never says that the Israelites ruled Egypt as the Hyksos did. This information would be too important to leave out. This is pure speculation and it isn't consistent with the bible's timeline or description of the Exodus. Plus, the Hyksos were forced out, they didn't leave voluntarily. [/QB][/QUOTE]
