Evidence that substantiates ANYTHING that happened in the Bible.

[zooterkin]

Of course... mockers be warned and repent. The Lord will not always stay His hand against the purposes of the wicked.

But mostly he will? Will he also fail to stay his hand against the purposes of the not so wicked too, sometimes? Are you in fact saying that the ways of the Lord are indistinguishable from natural events, or do you have some way to tell when he decides to step in?

Well, this Lord seems incredibly thick; he did the drowning thing, and Baby Jesus brought us the go to hell thing, and we still have wickedness and mockery and buggery and all that. What's Ole Yaweh got up his sleeve next?

 

[pakeha]

Difficult to say.
Janadele, what's in store for people who think the bible is fiction?

 

[Akhenaten]

I refuse to believe in lies, Janadele.
Why try to scare me into doing so?

Because a bloke with a hat full of rocks who couldn't tell his arse from his Anubis said it was a sure way to own your own planet.

Makes fortune cookies look like the Encyclopædia Britannica and "no particular reason" seem like a tour de force of critical thinking, doesn't it?

 

[RoboTimbo]

Of course... mockers be warned and repent. The Lord will not always stay His hand against the purposes of the wicked.

AS there is no evidence of any gods having interacted with the universe up to this point, I'm leaning towards them continuing to do nothing.

 

[dafydd]

Why do nasty things happen to nice people, Janandele?

 

[The Norseman]

*snort*
*snicker*
*mock*
*LMAO*
*hack and wheeze*
*chuckle*
*bwhahahaha*

... no repentance ...

... no (apparent) consequence ...

By golly, you're right. There are times when the Lord does stay his hand. Why am I so blessed?

I wish the LORD Thy God would've stayed my hand a lot more when I was younger. Probably would have gotten much more homework done.

 

[The Norseman]

Oops. Wrong thread. *exits gracefully*

You presume to speak for the lord?

 

[Elizabeth I]

Well, this Lord seems incredibly thick...

Either that or incredibly incompetent.

The Assyrian way of dealing with its neighbors was to terrify them into submission, either by the threat of force or its application. Being pitiless does influence people - if you have the power back up such a policy. The problem with such a policy is that, the moment you falter, your enemies will attack from all sides. This is, in fact, what happened to the Assyrian Empire after the death of Ashurbanipul. Thus, the empire went from the zenith of its power to absolute destruction in a very short time.

Had an Assyrian army of 185,000 been annihilated to the last man, Assyria's power would have been greatly weakened, and her enemies would have attacked. However, Assyrian power did not falter under Sennacherib, nor under the rule of his son Essarhaddon, nor under the reign of his grandson Ashurbanipul. So, how do you explain the continued expansion of Assyrian power after Sennacherib's siege of Jerusalem if he lost an entire army of 185,000 men?

God^TM was on their side.

That question has been answered many times in the LDS Thread.

 

[Agatha]

Only if you mean "not at all" when you say "many times". If you assert that the specific question has been answered, please point to the post in which we can find the answer.

 

[Belz...]

That question has been answered many times in the LDS Thread.

Yes and the answer is: there is no god. Sleep tight.

 

[Akhenaten]

Exactly.

In fact, the same answer has been provided in every thread that every god botherer has ever started here and yet they continually read it as, "See! God is real!"

In this particular case I'd call it ldslexia.

No it hasn't.

Thanks for that, TimCallahan.
It's clear the OT is more wishful thinking than history.

Exactly.

I saw what you did there, O Pharaoh!

Sorry, but this thread is about the Bible, not the Book of Mormon and it's innumerable historical impossibilities.

Is it wicked to ask the name of the Pharaoh of the Exodus?
Is it mocking to ask the name of the Pharaoh of Joseph?
Is it wicked to doubt the Exodus ever happened?
Is it mocking to doubt Joshua's military campaign ever took place?

I refuse to believe in lies, Janadele.
Why try to scare me into doing so?

She's made it pretty clear in another thread that questioning the legitimacy and accuracy of holy texts constitutes a "foolish" question. While there's an urge to attribute her post to a fear of others questioning the fundamentals of her religion, she is, in fact, mocking you for asking questions she considers hell-worthy.

If the New Testament description of Hell being visible from Heaven is accurate, and she's headed to Heaven, she'll be one of the people pointing at the damned chanting "Neener! Neener! I TOLD you so LOOSER!"

That question has been answered many times in the LDS Thread.

Citation needed.

 

[Rincewind]

Well, if nobody else is going to give it a go, I'll take one for the team....

The name of the Pharoah of the Exodus was

Dum, dum, dum!













Aberhaten.



So - I think we can call this one done.
