[@shadow-monger5189]

This is a great simplification of those events. There's a couple small things that the first five books go into that I feel often get overlooked and are important, but this does the trick. One of those is that the jews were invited to settle into Egypt due to Joseph's actions. Joseph was a seer, or prophet, an interpreter of dreams who forsaw the coming of strife for Egypt. In return for saving the people, the Pharoah himself gave permission to the hebrews to settle. In return, the hebrews made their own covenant with Pharoah, this was the biggest honor a Hebrew could give to a gentile, as it meant God reconized Pharoah as his own. For generations, tha hebrews tended the land and their sheep, never really living inside the cities. Eventually their simple but tested agrarian lifestyle saw them prosper while Egypt declined. This took several generations. Eventually, the new pharoah appropriated the wealth of the hebrews and enslaved them. Thus begins the events of exodus.

[@-postboy-8766]

There's absolutely zero historical evidence of Hebrews making any kind of exodus or even being in egypt as slaves in the first place. Only in the bible do you find any kind of "evidence" .

[@starbug345]

FYI, Jews say in A beginning. Not in THE beginning. It’s the first thing ever written in the Torrah so I feel like that’s important to know because it was Christian’s who decided to distinguish it to say in THE beginning not Jews original text

[@joeshmoe4207]

That’s actually a misunderstanding, the Hebrew “bereshit” has no definite article because it starts the sentence, a better translation is more along the lines is “when god began creating the world” it takes the definite article from the next several words. So even in Hebrew it is more like the beginning not a beginning.

[@fiwl]

. . . WAIT A MINUTE! While it is true that since the 4th Century the mountain on the Sinai Peninsula has been called Mt. Sinai or Mt. Horeb, the bible is clear that Moses ran away from his murder to the land of Midian (Exodus 2:11-15) which is right across the Gulf of Aqaba AND Mt. Sinai or Mt. Horeb is located in ARABIA. The Sinai Peninsula was never called, "Midian," and here is your text: 25 "Now this Hagar is MOUNT SINAI **IN ARABIA** (emphasis supplied) and corresponds to the present Jerusalem, for she is in slavery with her children." (Ga 4:25). Further, though you personally doubt the historicity of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, apparently you don't doubt Ismael's existence??? The bible also says that after Sarah's death that Abraham married Keturah and they had six more sons together, one of whom was MIDIAN who settled the area in Arabia just across the Gulf of Aqaba. Mt. Sinai or Mt. Horeb is El Jabal Laws in north western ARABIA and in the vicinity of ancient Midian. Those people living there today claim it as the biblical Mt. Horeb/Sinai. These are not minor disagreements but very important because without them we would have as small a reason as you have to believe in Abraham's existence and thus the biblical history and promise of eternal life. Remember this, please, not even one of the historical accounts any where in the whole of the bible has ever been disproved. Personal disapproval is one thing, so is denial, but refutation by the facts is another!!! Abraham's facts STAND, AND Aristotle's Dictum "The benefit of the doubt is to be given to the document itself, not assigned by the critic to himself," is a rule that you just broke. The benefit of doubt is not grace, it is a fact one is inescapably driven to by all the other details that are NOT minor.

[@fiwl]

HA!!! Well, your faith requires a lot more FAITH than mine. Good luck with yours.

[@fiwl]

I gotta hand it to ya. You've got a lot more faith than I do. FAITH, by the way, is the SUBSTANCE of things we hope for (is hope no good too?), and the EVIDENCE things just not yet seen.

[@fiwl]

Yeah, "substance of hope." Don't you hope you'll live tomorrow, next week, next year? If you don't hope for success in whatever it is that you want to do in life, what are you? Did you ever see, "Shawshank Redemption?" Either get busy living or get busy dying, but if the former, you gotta have some hope. You have vainly imagined, that "faith" is ridiculous, and it is when it's only hopelessness you display. It's why you have to use a pseudonym to keep from being embarrassed. But real hope and real faith is reasonable. It is NOT a blind leap in the dark. If there's a reasonable chance you'll wake in the morning, then that's the kind of hope that makes you go to sleep peacefully. And when you wake, rested and looking forward to the day, that is NOT FAITH. That is sight. God's promises are for anyone who will just consider them, and the kind of faith He requires, saves us. In Hebrews 11:6 it says, "Without faith, it is impossible to please God." A chapter earlier at 10:31 it says, "It is a terrible thing to fall into the hands of a Living God." But the faith He requires is neither difficult to find nor to obey. God bless. Don L. Wood

In the broadest sense, Torah is the rich tapestry of rabbinic discourse, i.e., the literature and teachings of Judaism. Torah has no end, it is continually unfolding and flowing. Anyone can add to it, with contributions that merge with the sea of Torah or stand out as new tributaries. Jews believe in a two-pronged Torah: the Written Torah (i.e., the Jewish holy scriptures = Tanakh = the Hebrew Bible) and the Oral Torah, which is the legacy of rabbinic teachings. Torah has two overarching types of content: halakhah (law & ethics) and aggadah (philosophical, homiletical, narrative, etc.) Torah covers numerous styles and genre, including midrash (Biblical exegesis), mishnah (rabbinic teachings that supplement the Biblical), piyyut (a kind of poetry or song), targum (Bible translation, perush (commentary, e.g., on the Bible), gematria (Jewish numerology), liturgies, legends, laws, and lore. Torah pours out in chronological order, e.g., Tannaitic period for the Mishnah, Amoraic for the two Talmuds, Geonic for early medieval, rishonim ("first" post-Geonic rabbis up to ~1570, the Shulchan Aruch), and achronim (the current period of the "later" rabbis). Torah documents include Biblical books, the amazing Babylonian Talmud, medieval philosophy, 100'000's of responsa (Q&A with rabbis), and endless homilies, commentaries, legal discourse, etc. Torah has origin(s), both as a blueprint prior to Creation and as the God's communication to Moses (both Written and Oral). Torah is sometimes used to refer to the Hebrew Bible or Tanakh, the Jewish scriptural canon. (It can also be used to refer to the Oral Torah.) In the narrow sense, Torah refers to the Five Books of Moses, the first third of the Hebrew Bible. See the answer by Alon Amit. More narrowly, torah is a Biblical word that refers to a specific law or teaching. ------ Jews are a highly literate people, so they have created countless texts and strands of intertextuality. A single page of Talmud can easily refer, explicitly, to many Biblical verses, Tannaitic writings, other pages of Talmud, a half dozen laws in medieval codes, and be cited by, in turn, myriads of later rabbinic writings. So, Torah is a vast interconnected web, where new strands are constantly spun inwards and outwards.

His name was Moshe, he was the brother of Aaron the priest but he was not allowed to be a lord meaning owner of property. The Anglo-Saxons added the S to make him MoseS to respect him as a Lord but this is an enormous contradiction. Moshe represents the priesthood which is quite similar to the president of the United States which is a secular priest, and the White House is a secular Church. You can't be a president and an owner of a business just like you can't be a priest and a lord. the Anglo-Saxons erroneously gave Moshe an S and made him Moses a Lord instead of leaving it as Moshe the priest (president) as the priest presides over the people and serves the people and not his own personal interests or property like a king. The high priest was an elected six-year year term.

[@BillRevis]

@max metrikin no historical evidence for him

[@chinabluewho]

Most likely he was a real person named Moshe but he was not of the Yawist faith, he was was given credit for Canaanites being freed from Egyption rule in 1150 BC after the collapse of the Egyption empire, look at a map of the land of Canaan in 1200 BC , 200 years later the word of AE ( pronounced Yaw) comes into the land of Caanaan from the Sumerian land of Seir most likely from Shasu worshippers of the Sumerian storm god Enki (known as AE/Yah) The Canaanite gods El and Ba'al and gods wife Ishtar are most likely the gods he worshiped as even his brother Aaron built a golden calf in the name of El/Ba'al Is more here bout it kzbin.info/www/bejne/oYu8Y5ibpN-XpZo Sorry that there is no easy answers, even the most sacred jewish ceremony of Hannukah is a pagan ritual dedicated to Easter/Ashura/Asherian worship. And the three major Yawist festivals/sacred times all fall on the three major Canaanite religious times, I don't think is happenstance anymore than when Christmas and Easter happen. Take all of the old Canaanite religious stories and then change/mutate/rewrite/redact them into Judism and the Torah makes much more sense. Even with years of study or even a lifetime you will never be able to say with 99% conviction what really happened but I am leaning towards These thoughts.

[@Malik-hz5fg]

j Revis there’s no historical evidence for a lot of significant people in religion. They were normally peasants or lived like them hence it’s impossible to actually get a proper dating on them to know who they were and it’s unlikely that they left anything behind.

TRUTH HUNTER this is just the mainstream ideology of the mainstream bloodline. It’s not meant to be a sermon, some people are just tryna pass an exam. I do agree that the image of a white Jesus was used to justify racism and slavery in the past, but you’ll have bigotry anywhere you go now a days. If you’re Christian, do you believe that the canonized race of Jesus actually matters? Truthfully, it just causes conflict, distracts Christians from Jesus’s message, and literally goes against his teachings. Anybody can be saved with faith and action, it doesn’t matter who you are or where you come from. The bloodline of Jesus is important to confirm the prophecies of the Old Testament, but his actual race/skin color is not relevant to his teachings

[@ILLGOOD]

@@haydenselzer Since it is written in the bible, he wanted us to know....so it's appropriate. Race has nothing to do with anything....TRUTH does. Whites invented race issues, hands down. My point is.....God did some picking and choosing. Meaning everyone was NOT choose. Or what would be the point of picking out something? The world ONLY knows about white's recorded accounts of history, but it isn't truth. It's one sided. The bible is written by God's men. And if that isn't good enough burn all books....they were written by MAN too.

[@haydenselzer]

TRUTH HUNTER I said His lineage was important, but His race is not important . And whites didn’t create race issues, they were around even in biblical times. The story of Jesus with the woman at the well is an example of racism. Many Jews were hostile toward Samaritans during this period because they were regarded as foreigners. However, Jesus spoke with a Samaritan woman who was surprised he would even talk with her and offer her salvation because of her faith. Racism has always been around and it’s horrible. There are good and bad people from all groups. God has given us free will but knows ahead of time who will follow him, we cannot judge whether someone is chosen or saved ahead of time, nobody knows your true heart except God himself. You’re right that many text books have been altered, I definitely agree, this world is evil and corrupt. But I know that the true light of God will find a way to shine.
