“III. Historical and Geographical errors in the Bible A. River Gihon could not possibly flow from Mesopotamia and encompass Ethiopia (Gen 2:13) B. The name Babel does not come from the Hebrew word 'balbal' or 'confuse' but from the babylonian 'babili' or 'gate of God' which is a translation of the original Sumerian name Ka-dimirra. (Gen 11:9) C. Ur was not a Chaldean city until 1000 years after Abraham (Gen 11:28, 15:7) D. Abraham pursued enemies to 'Dan' (Gen 14:14). That name was not used geographically until after the conquest (Judge 18:29) E. Gen 36:31, telling of Jacob and Esau, lists kings of Edom "before there reigned any king over the children of Israel." This must have been written hundreds of years later, after Israel had kings. F. Joseph tells Pharaoh he comes from the "land of the Hebrews" (Gen 40:15). There was no such land until after the conquest under Joshua. G. The Egyptian princess names the baby she finds "Moses" because she "drew him out" of the water (Heb meshethi). Why would she make a pun in Hebrew (Ex 2:10)? H. No Egyptian record exists mentioning Moses or his devastation of Egypt. I. Moses refers to "Palestine" (Ex 15:14). No such name was in use then. J. Law of Moses is the "statutes of God and his laws" (Ex 18:26), but it closely mirrors the Code of Hammurabi, which was penned 1800 BC, hundreds of years before Moses. K. Priests are mentioned at Ex 19:22-24, but they are not provided for until Ex 28:1. L. Moses mentions Rabbath, where Og's bedstead is located (Deut3:11). Moses could not have any knowledge of Rabbath,which was not captured by the Hebrews until David's time,500 years later (2 Sam 12:26). M. Jericho and Ai (Josh 8) were both ancient ruins at the time of the conquest of Canaan, according to archaeologists. Jericho's walls were destroyed centuries before Joshua. N. Kings are referred to at Deut 17:17-19, before Israel had kings.” Link: https://www.news24.com/news24/the-problem-of-the-bible-inaccuracies-contradictions-fallacies-scientific-issues-and-more-20120517. I see that The Bible is strangely silent on aliens, UFO’s, dinosaurs, the lack of evidence regarding reproductive procreation and sexual recreation between angels and humans, some words being translated in scriptures while other words are left to be untranslated. In my own words: "Scriptures have been subtracted from consistently to make humans the ventriloquist dummies of the fascists! The Bible has plenty of fiction and fabricated legends in it. The Bible is not totally divinely breathed, not totally divinely inspired, not totally accurate; and not totally reliable. I dislike mega churches, I dislike televangelism, I don’t do virtual church, I don’t do in-person church, I choose not to attend any houses of worship, I refrain from religious events, and I am unashamed of being unchurched, de-churched, and non-churched.” In the words of the Rev. Karla: "We never have never had a complete manuscript of The Bible. We had incomplete writings. Then over time, more writings were added. What does this mean? Text was added that was attributed to Jesus-and most likely Jesus didn't say that. Text was added that embellished what Jesus did-and most likely Jesus didn't do all that is attributed to him. This can be rattling for those of you who believed in the inerrancy and infallibility of the Bible. It doesn't mean that The Bible can't be inspiring-it can. But, when we embrace that throughout history, scriptures have been manipulated, added to, edited, and then-re-edited to protect those in power, we can understand why it's important to not take the Bible literally. People who weaponize scripture to justify their bigotry are clearly ignoring these data that scholars have known for years. We must release the Bible from this notion that it has the power and ability to guide our lives based on its infallibility. It's toxic, it's dangerous, and it's un-Christlike. Not everything labeled Christian originated with Jesus Christ." --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/antonio-myers4/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/antonio-myers4/support
