Why would you say that?

@blusheep2 because i hope people can understand difference biblical traditions and historical facts

@okon7464 But what are you saying isn't historical fact and how do you know. I understand all the criticism about the first few chapters of Genesis, but those chapters don't make up the whole Bible. If there are unattested parts of the Bible, such as the Abraham story, that doesn't mean the stories are false. It just means that we don't have any independent attestation for it. So what stories aren't historical and how would you know? Why would you say that they aren't historical?

@blusheep2 In the Bible Abraham is from Chaldaean Ur, Chaldaeans werent in Ur till VI century BCE, which means the story was written around VI century BCE, because author had no idea about, he was writing based on information he had. We have no archeological records for jews being enslaved, no archeological records for conquer of Kanaan, no records for united jewish kingdom of David. These stories just don't fit into the world. I recommend to read Mario Liverani's works

@okon7464 Certainly Ur of the Chaldeans is one of those Biblical references that have confused scholars for some time. That doesn't mean it was written later. One simple option is a scribal update. Where an older unknown city was updated to its modern name so that the readers would understand the story better. Another possibility mentioned by many scholars is that the Ur that Abraham lived in was the UR in Turkey, and not Babylon. The Hebrew word translated "Chaldeans" has a few other possible translations though they aren't favored. So I think this is a question that still hasn't been satisfactorily answered but it doesn't force the conclusion that the story is a late fabrication. As for archeological records of Jews being enslaved, this is a bit true and a bit false. What we have records for is Semitic slaves which Jews were a part of that greater group. I could go into more detail but when the Hyksos were kicked out of Egypt, those that couldn't flee as fast as the armies and administration, were enslaved and we know this from the biography of the general that expelled them from Avaris. Not only that we know from archeology that Avaris, the captial of the Semitic Hyksos dynasty, remained a Semitic city for quite some time following the Hyksos expulsion. We also know archeologically that the city of Avaris became a ghost town in the middle of Rameses II's reign because the people of Pi-Rameses used the entire site as a graveyard. Avaris at its height, held 100,000 people. Its was a gigantic Semitic city. The Hebrews would have been mixed up with this group. We do have archeological records of the conquest of Canaan. First we have the Mereneptah Stele from the late Bronze Age IIb. This victory stele records Mereneptah's defeat of the Libyans and some cities in Canaan after they rebelled. It mentions the people Israel in the land and brags that Mereneptah put them in their place. The way they are referred to is as a people group and not yet a nation which is exactly what we should be expecting as the conquest had just begun. At this same time, (Late Bronze IIb and early Iron Age I) it is now agreed that there is a population explosion. Not a reshuffling of the current people. Over 300 new settlements spring up throughout Canaan and they are all Hebrew settlements. On top of this we have a destruction layer at Hatzor, a city said to have been burned in the conquest, dating to the time of the conquest. As of 2023 we have found the wall of Jericho from the time of the Conquest, as well. Though detractors had been saying for years that there was no city at the time of the conquest, we now have proof that there was. It wasn't detected earlier because their has been a massive amount of site leveling during later periods. There now is ample evidence of a united kingdom under David and certainly under Solomon. What you said is outdated. We now have found building construction such as the ones at Queiyfa(sp?) during David's reign and the gates of Gezer, Megiddo, and Hatzor that could only have been undertaken if there was a centralized government.

Good choice. Welcome to the faith brother.

@blusheep2 Thank you brother

Except for before Islam

Either way the people came to the land via conquest, not invite. So the only princple that we can learn from this is that whoever is strong enough to hold the land and govern it, is the rightful owner of it. Anyway, both Mohammad and the Jews tell us to use the OT and so the OT tells us that Israel was given to the Jews BY GOD. So if anyone has any claim to it then it is certainly them.

exactly

Where does the bible condone slavery? Where does the bible say that the earth is only a few thousand years old? Where does the Bible not mention dinosaurs in the story of creation? No one knows if the fruit from the tree was an apple. How is this any less believable than something coming from nothing? I feel a lot of science is a load of crap.

It's fun to see someone talk about the Bible without having a clue about it. For example: 1 Kings (3 Kings), 2 Kings (4 Kings), 1 Chronicles, 2 Chronicles. There are tons of historically confirmed things. You can be atheist and absurdly ignorant at the same time.

Islam, catholicism and Judaism are recent propositions relatively, they share quite a lot of commonality : traditions over Truth.

@@bbl361 islam makes christianity look so alien in comparison.

@@bbl361 "Traditions over Truth" is not particular to those religions. Every single type of Human thought, be it a religion or a philosophy, an ethical system, are "Traditions over truth".

Many historical accounts support what happened in the Bible judges onward, You can choose to say it isn't real just because it's biblical but that doesn't change its accuracy

Whatever helps you sleep at night.

Friend, I disagree. I was raised in the Catholic Church. My mom was a devout Christian in the Catholic Church. I was baptized at two weeks, and of course first communion and confirmation as well. And thank God through my mother’s introduction to Christ. But I did not know Jesus as my Lord and Saviour till I was 53 . And only by Gods grace and mercy can I call myself a child of God ( I like Man of God now) . I was a functioning addict living in this fallen world. And living for self . I was led by the Holy Spirit to Calvary Baptist church . Where I believe I’m hearing the word (Bible) taught to me the way it should . No Hail Mary, no priest advocating as God the father. Showing up every week, month year and confessing my sins and say 5 Hail Mary. Now I know what true repentance is . I have a direct line to Christ who lives in me now. To help me with my obedience. The sprinkling of water at two weeks of age is not baptism . Baptism is emersion and testifying your obedience to God before others and accepting Jesus into your life in front of others believes . You should know this as it is written in the early part of the book of John . Again , I respect the Catholic Church because my Mother was a God fearing , humble , gracious, loving women of faith. And maybe other denominations as well. But I am convicted by the Holy Spirit the word , the message I’m being fed through Calvary is the truth, way and life . I appreciate your thoughts as well , and pray that we can both go and make disciples. Blessings

The Catholic Church is not part of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. The Apostles, then word of God, which was later written in homes and delivered to the Albigensian people, who were being persecuted by the Catholic Church because they were independent and were not Gnostics. The Bible made its way into Europe, then to the rest of the entire world. English became the dominant language here in 2024 around the world. God does not dwell in a temple made with hands. Jesus says we are the body of Christ, a holy temple. Revelation 17.

The whole Bible is the answer
