Discoveries That Confirm Parts of the Bible

At 1:31 You stayed, at the above time, let the Bible is the best selling book of all times. That would be incorrect, according to those that keep track of records. Those that keep track of records have stated that the book known as "Guinness World Records"has surpassed the record the Bible has made.... Just to let you know....

Video starts at 1:18

your channels are my wondrium. lol

Historians also mocked the idea that any culture would hold a tree counting on a plot of land being sold, as is described when Abraham purchased the cave of Macpelah. The discovery of the Hittite records showed that this policy was actually accurately described in Genesis.

Actually it was referring to the neo-Hittite city states

Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. But it's also not evidence of presence

A giant iceberg in Europe melted,leading to major flooding in Africa and the middle east. Most humans only lived in those places at the time. When they spread around the world they kept the story of the flood but over time it changed to match cultural norms.

Christianity unlike the major world religions tells you that man is at war with God. The God who commanded creation by his word. It also shows you how to be right with him.

@@kyokasanagi incorrect, the Native American peoples and East Asian cultures (China, India, Southeast Asia, etc) also have very similar flood origin stories. It was a global event and there's proof of it in every continent.

Great point! Sometimes things get lost in translation. For example in translating the Bible from Hebrew to another language some words can not be translated exactly. What if the translator wrote God in place of something like most powerful being like an extraterrestrial whom people thought was God.

Exactly the point I was going to make. The Hebrew name used is Shlomo. Solomon vines from the Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible, and might be cognoscenti with other a name more familiar to the readership: Suleiman.

If Solomon even existed it would have been roughly 350 - 400 years after the Armana letters.

@@sav7568 Would it?

@@lardyify According to the Thiele/Young timeline the Amarna letters would have been more during the time of Joshua. Which I suppose tracks with some of what the vassal states are writing to Egypt about, a foreign menace attacking and razing a number of cities around Canaan and being repelled by others. And their timeline, which favors the Biblical narrative timeline and synchronizes later Israelite kingdom events with records of Neo-Assyria, Neo-Babylonia, and Egypt, is one that puts the Exodus at, I think, one of the earliest points among academics. But the building of the Temple is widely considered a pretty solid date and is put as beginning in the year 967 BC. The Amarna Letters span from around 1360-1332, as Sav says, about 400 years too early.

When would it be a bad time to rise from the dead? Or turn water into wine? If your mom was saying "if it's not entirely rational or reasonable you can rule it out," well then, she's a smart one. 🤓

@@Philusteen Personally, I believe that anything that occurs in reality is natural and reasonable. If it seems otherwise, we just haven't developed the skills and knowledge to explain why they are. I haven't asked my mom as to her take on that.

Sure, like the Iliad or Jabberwocky. It was written in the past and gives a fictional narrative of what was in the author's head.👍🏼

@@brokenrecord3523 Prove it was fictional. This video proves several parts to be true already. Just because you don't like something, Doesn't make it untrue.

And just because you like something, doesn't make it true. Talking about the whole bible as true or false is silly, and you have to look at each story, and part of the story individually. Adam and Eve, Noas Ark and Job, was all based on older non-jewish stories, and therefore most likely fictional. And then there's other passages that most likely was historical. Whether som parts of it was historical or not, has no bearing on the rest of the stories.

@@nikolajrasmussen9573 How do you know they were based on older stories? Which stories? Is it possible the Bible could be the first or an early attempt to tell what really happened?

​@@Nsinger998 fish. can actually date the various versions and Sumerian accounts are older.

As an atheist I believe something did factually happen like the great flood that’s in all the different religious bibles ( in history it most likely the end of the ice age when water rose hundreds of meters in days around 11,500 years ago ) but I don’t believe a husband his wife their sons and their wife’s were the only people to live through it.

How can you be a Christian and see the Word of God as just mere history? Im genuine curious as to that argument?

The Bible is an anthology of Hebrew literature. The collection we have was not finally gathered into one until after 70Ad when the Temple was destroyed, There was much other material that is not included,

@@johnschuh8616 I do understand that. But still as a born again Christian how do you merely view the bible as simple literature and not the inspired Word of the Living God. In that case every book is mere history and nothing is inspired or Holy. In that case in 100 years( if humanity lasts that long) certain books will be simple collection of histories and we will all be witches and wizards with magic powers because Harry Potter..im sorry i stand by my argument the bible is more than a collection if history. It is the true living Word sharper than a double edge sword and not just history. Shalom.

@@tarim2822 I look at the Bible as sacred history, providing the soil out of which the Jewish people AND Christianity sprang. Its authority rests upon the testimony of those people who held it to be sacred. Those who did worship and do the God of Abraham. But as a Christian I believe that we only know that God through the person of Jesus. A human being like us in all ways except sin. Through the Bible we come to know him and the nature of humanity as God wills us to be.

@@rascal342 there are several theories, including that it possibly refers to a war or plague that occurred in Egypt which took a specifically grim toll on young Egyptians and spared the Hebrews.

@@HomeSlice97 that’s very very different than how it’s described in Exodus

Is there evidence the plagues occurred at all? Given that the majority of archaeological evidence does not support the Exodus narrative, including the titular exodus itself, I am suspicious.

Biblical archaeologist? That's a red flag right there.

@@benjalucian1515 well there's a biblical archaeologist that studied the dead sea scrolls for 14yrs and wasn't theist. So take that with a grain of salt? It's a science niche for biblical archaeology, that's it. That's how you get information on these things.

@@benjalucian1515 yeah. It more refers to studying the events and history of the bible/near east. There's really no religious bend to it. I daresay you wouldn't think twice about an archaeologist who's specialty was The Veda.

@@hacker4chn841 - if he was making claims about the Veda and artifacts, I might

@@benjalucian1515 Why do you consider that a red flag?

This is exactly why I love this guy. He commentates my curiosity.

The evidence is useful for Bible archaeologists but worthless as proof of a god. Proof of a god does not require a Bible. A simple appearance would do it.

I was going to say it seemed to be lacking a lot of things. He showed the tablets but didn't show any of the supposed translations and who they were done by and then who they were verified by and how all this information was scrutinized... I actually reported this video for misinformation It's pure hearsay and anecdotal evidence... A lot of the scientists and archaeologists on these expeditions are funded by religious groups So it makes them a lot more future funding if they just produce a narrative for said religious groups.

Actually, He has joined the ranks of many who would dissuade you from the very thing he seems to be explaining as possible. Concerning the Red Sea crossing; He starts of very well pointing out certain details beginning @11:00 but stops short of other even more important details. Let's not forget the pillar that blocked the Egyptian army which had caught up with them. ALSO, in Exodus 14:22 we have this "And the children of Israel went into the midst of the sea upon the dry ground: and the waters were a wall unto them on their right hand, and on their left." The ground was dry, not muddy, AND there was a WALL of water to either side. No natural phenomena can do exactly that. So, we are at a point where we must choose to accept or reject God's word. What sort of God do you believe in? One of miracles or one that is limited to mere natural phenomena. Here's the rub, one cannot reject the word of God and receive His Son as savior

@@JamesRichardWiley Actually, literally EVERYTHING stands as evidence. Nature, history, the cosmos, the very stars are evidence. And nothing God has made is useless in that regard.

The person who “discovered” the chariot wheels is Ron Wyatt. He isn’t an archaeologist, or even a scientist, he is a anaesthesiologist. He is considered by all archaeologists, including the national archaeology office of israel, as a liar and absolutely false. The “wheels” he found, were algae in the shape of a wheel, and marine biologists have said it is completely natural shape.

Unfortunately, this is a story going around creationist circles that is almost entirely fabricated. Not saying it’s evidence of absence, but it is not true either. The parts that are true-ish like the “land bridge” are incredibly misrepresented.

Source ???

​@@Pooki2024 several, actually. Google it. Also Google "the Pillars of Solomon".

This is true and some of the images are stunning. They’ve also found horse hooves and human bones as well. He also said the bottom would have been muddy but the location your talking about has a hard sand bottom.

And Titus Kennedys archaeological books, where you have much more all documented, and regarded around the world

I'll check it out

Far from non-biassed. Skips all bits where there is no evidence at all for some of the major bits.

@@aled721 As the evidence he detailed shows, absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. Scholars who don't want to believe the Bible have been pointing and sputtering at the lack of evidence (because nobody could or was looking for it) for centuries. Not to mention he chose the smallest number possible of things to detail. Lol

@@noahlarson1861 So someone went through the desert and got rid of every piece of evidence 2m Hebrews would have left behind during a lifetime. I know that's quite the strawman, but the "absence of evidence isn't evidence for absence" phrase doesn't really work with the Exodus.

@@biedl86 What desert are you talking about? Meaning, what desert did they wander around in for 40 years?

@@noahlarson1861 Read Joshua 5:6 or Numbers 13:1-33 to understand the reasons of them staying in the desert for 40 years. Also, your claim that nobody could or would look for evidence is not completely accurate. Historians didn't do anything but trying to confirm the Bible for a long time. They stopped, because they ran into too many dead ends. The Bible is nice to get an orientation, but it isn't as historically accurate as some want to believe.

I agree. Never thought I would see such a video from Simon but am very happy to see a man that has scientific integrity enough to be objective and give credit where it is due, despite it being one of the more taboo areas amongst many of his peers, and so often dismissed outright. Much respect to you, Simon. Thank you.

The more you actually look for more information the more Christianity shows its true colors as a cruel trick created and still used for political manipulation of the lower classes. Look at the Adoptionism preached by Paul. Pauline theology said Jesus was a normal human, created and born to a human mother through normal means and adopted by God by imbuing Jesus with his Spirit where it remained until Jesus exclaimed “Eloi, Eloi, Lama Sabachthani” while on the cross. Adoptionism was the predominant theological belief of the origin of Jesus for Christianity during the Creeds and Maxims period prior to Nicaea. Then you jump to the Old Testament and the Creation myth is entirely plagiarized from the Babylonians who took it from the Akkadians who had absorbed it from the Sumerians. There’s a lot of Jewish history packed between the genocide of the Canaanite by the Egyptian Jews and the death of Jesus, but pointing to the history as evidence of the validity of the rest is absolute madness. Bereft of research, reason and logic.

As a Christian, I appreciate how he handled it. Passionate, charming and gracious. Glad that he laid out both sides fairly. I found it really wholesome and healthy.

@@ElliottWong2024 Only one side exists and that is what can be factually proven. Some make the mistake to consider storytelling with talking snakes, and talking burning bushes as more than various stories.

@@WaylonCampbell Facts are valued and when one fails to prove claims then one walks in the land of fiction and fantasy.

Jesus looks a man right in the eye, and told him he would be back "before the last of this generation" has passed away. If Jesus is real, he had to have come back 2,000 years ago. Otherwise Jesus told a lie, and that's not possible. The problem isn't organized religion. The problem is the bible is just made up stories. The fact that they used some actual historical events, doesn't help make the rest of it true. The bible also gets quite a bit of known history wrong as well.

that ain't it borda

I think the god of the old testament was not the one true god

​@@marknavarro953 he is the God we worship but we are under a new covenant, The reason why we don't relate to the old testament much is because it's a different culture.

So the creation of the world was possible but you try to limit God to just that? Come on now. creation has a creator and if Jesus is that powerful to create a universe but you limit him. that is kinda sad bro. We are going to stand and be judged. Once you cross over and see him. It will be to late.have you ever had a nightmare and woke up and we're so happy it was just a dream. Now imagine never waking up from that dream ever except it's not a dream.

The bible says the ground was "dry." Go read it!

Not to mention instead of needing a phenomena of a disappearing sea all it really needs is a shift in tides, tides goes out and exposes land, by the morning the tide comes back and recovers it. IF we go the Moses route then he was a clever sod and brought his followers to a miracle site where he knew the water would part and they would see the 'miracle' of God and his enemies getting the view as well confirming these people were blessed and the chosen people.

I've had it backwards all this time. Thank you, Peter, for enlightening me. I gotta say, I'm pretty excited about this because I thought I had a burden to support any claim I might make with evidence or argument. But according to you, I don't. And the reason I'm so happy about this? Well, I think you'll understand once you see my assertion: "The Universe was created by Universe-Creating Pixies." I suspect you can see why I'm so excited by your position on the burden of proof. The fact is, I haven't so much as a scrap of evidence in support of this claim. I just kinda feel in my bones that it's true. But according to you, that good enough. I don't need any evidence because, as you so wisely state: "The burden is on you to prove I am wrong." I'm so looking forward, Peter, to examining your evidence demonstrating that the Universe wasn't created by Universe-Creating Pixies! Because if you can't prove it wrong, I guess I get to claim it's true! I'll keep you eye peeled for your definitive and comprehensive response.

I would add Mara bar Serapion’s and Tacitus’ mentions of Jesus

@@DANtheMANofSIPA mara bar serepion is one I haven't heard of

@@andrewthomas4636 Its one of my favorite New Testament era artefacts. Ive heard some discredit it as not contemporary enough to Jesus or as not referring to Jesus at all but I find it as a quite compelling evidence that even as close as the late first century (probably shortly before The Gospel Of John was written), even Pagans knew Jesus to be a historical figure whom was a wise teacher at the very least. Its one of the earliest non Christian references to Jesus since Josephus and the Talmud cant be trusted to be accurate. Also in terms of Christian writings, you cant find better than Polycarps letter to the Phillipians. Its written around 108 AD and references almost every letter written by Paul, 1 John, 1 Peter and The Gospel Of Matthew. Polycarp was a student of St John. Clement of Rome was a student of Polycarp and in 96 AD Clement wrote about the trinity. The Didache in ~70 AD wrote about it and Jesus divinity as well. All this to say not only was Jesus believed to be a real person, but Jesus’s divinity probably was a widespread belief among Christian Gentiles and Christian Jews as early as the late first century.

@@DANtheMANofSIPA I have read all of these other works that you mentioned. I understand why we can't use the Midrash or Talmud, but why do you think we can't use Josephus?

@@andrewthomas4636 good question!

It depends on the specifics of what you mean by religion.

He has openly made fun of at least one religion in a previous video. That was a few years ago at this point, so perhaps his stance has changed somewhat.

@@ReddFoxx1562 My father is a devout Catholic - he is also a research scientist. I used to work in a medical research organisation (I'm an accountant, I used to help apply for and administer research funding - so I'm NOT a scientist myself) - I knew many of the researchers were religious - we had a prayer room near the labs on the request of some of them. We had Christians (of many denominations), Muslims, Hindus, Jews.... None of them were radical or extremists, they were all open minded and relaxed about other people's faith or lack thereof. Belief in science and faith are not mutually exclusive. I asked my father once how he reconciled his faith and his science. He said that science reveals more fully the wonders of the world - the depth of God's creation.

@@raylouis7013 that's why I said it depends on what you mean by the word religion. If people take it as allegory and parable in don't have the idea of a perfect all-powerful all-knowing God then sure that can work with other fields. But if someone believes in an omnipotent creator of that nature then there is always going to be some conflicting situation when dealing with the real world.

@@mikepotter6426 Ah the late and never great Ron "the liar" Wyatt... 1. He wasn't any kind of qualified expert in the field 2. He wasn't EVER licensed by the Egyptian authorities to carry out any excavations in their country, EVER 3. He was a Grade A BS merchant. Take his "proof of the story of Noah", where he claimed he had found the Ark, because there's a hanging valley on a mountain in Turkey, that sort of looks like a HUGE boat sat there, if you squint, and then claimed that he proved such a boat HAD been there, by finding NO evidence of an Ark that was the wrong size, and made of iron instead of wood... Then there's his Red Sea BS... photos of a coral formation which he claimed was a chariot axle and wheel covered on coral, which was "digitally enhanced" for clarity, the enhancement being him drawing an oval in brown pixels where he wanted you to "see a wheel". Then there was his "photo of a gold covered chariot wheel half buried in the sand" which he claimed he couldn't recover as "it was too fragile to move". Quite apart from the item bearing NO resemblance to a n 18th/19th Dynasty chariot wheel, and looking suspiciously like a cast brass valve control wheel from a large pipe valve, if it HAD been gold foil over rotten wood, it wouldn't have withstood the current enough to be photographed intact. Add in his BS claim that "gold left on the sea bed for 3000 years would still be shiny because coral wont grow on it", try telling that to anyone who ever recovered a 300 year old coin from the warm waters of the Caribbean... The term "Marine Accretion" will be used when mocking you and Ron Wyatt. Lastly, there was his claim that there was a sandbar, within 4 feet of the surface , running right across the Red Sea, that somehow remained undetected by all the heavy maritime traffic passing over it. And then he claimed that said sandbar was NOT marked on US Maritime charts because the USS Govt. had been infiltrated by Bible hating Atheists, but that it was clearly marked on Royal Navy charts, because Britain's Queen is head of the Church of England, and therefore Britain was a "Christian Country" where Atheists hadn't taken over. That was especially funny as at the time, the percentage of godless in the UK was more than THREE TIMES HIGHER than in America, and the Church had NO governmental authority whatsoever. And... The mythical sandbar wasn't shown on RN charts anyway, Ron "The LIAR" Wyatt just assumed his target "Southern Redneck" audience would NEVER travel to the UK and visit a public reference library with maritime charts, and see for them selves what a lying sack of crap he was.

The Bible was always treated as a historically accurate account until the middle of the 20th century. Then archaeologists started digging without looking at the Bible first. Since then the Bible is loosing credence all over the place. The fields of Archaeologists and Historians have changed drastically in the last century, due to humanity becoming more and more secular and advanced in producing reliable methodologies for looking at history. The need to find Bible confirming evidences dropped significantly. Today we follow the evidence, instead of searching for the evidence which could potentially confirm what's written in this bronze age book.

@@biedl86 This had nothing to do with my comment.

No there isn't, quite the opposite in fact!

it is quite the opposite, modern archeology is showing how inaccurate stories in the Bible were......including whole towns not yet existing in the time claimed by the Bible..sorry mate...

@@davidmcpott1924 Neandar Valley is neanderthals, hence name! Where the first was found, if you go there you can see practically complete skeletons and you can un other museums. Chronology is massively important to understanding history. Like your hun thing, only 35/40 thousand years out from neanderthals and huns, pluss we know how huns shaped skulls and neanderthals have no marks. If you get the time wrong the story is wrong, wrong kings etc. There's a prophecy about nebuchadnezzar sacking a island town, raising it to the ground and no one will live there again, only remains for fisherman to catch net's on. Nebuchadnezzar is dead never went, the island is still there, you can see it in Google maps and people have always been there. This prophecy can never come true! But then non ever have!

@@davidmcpott1924 Evolution has been proven, we gave fossil records for multiple animals non more so than the horse. But also a practically complete human fossil record with no missing links. And other human remains. Evolution has been observed in nature and lab's and never stops and all life is transitional including you. Without a single fossil dna nails common ancestry even showing when certain mutations happen and species change. Evolution is the corner stone of modern biology and underpins our whole understanding of modern. It's backed and proven by all fields of science. The evidence is overwhelming and it's been proven since the 1870s.

Like what?

There is some evidence but as you would expect from the situation, very few written records exist compared with some other books. Egypt at the time certainly would not have written down anything about it.

@@stephenlaing2152 , let's clarify what the OP said... he uses the phrase "The Lord". . This is using "lord" in place of a proper nouns, so of course it would be capitalized, but it is also using the entire phase "the Lord" in the same sense that any Christian or Jewish person would understand it as noted in Deuteronomy 6:4: "Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord" . Christians say "the Lord our God" all the time. However, the fact that James didn't state it that way isn't arrogance; it's just one different way to use God's title as his name. "Lord" by itself is an English translation of the Hebrew word "Adonai" which means "Lord who is above all other lords." So if I believe in and wish to address God as "the Lord who is above all other lords" then the most accurate way to address him is "The Lord" (Adonai). . I would also point out that James was complimentary of Simon's video, which shows his good will. Are you likewise showing good will?

@@stephenlaing2152 I'm sorry you're bitter about this

the Nazareth Inscription, the Book of Balaam, the Egyptian seals of Jacob, the Cursed tablet on mount Ebal, Tel-Jericho, the Shroud of Turin, the Sennacharib Stele, Solomon's Pillars at the Red Sea, the Gath inscription, or the Jerubaal inscription not to mention the golden chariot wheels found dating back to the parting of the red sea, the giants bones found or the walls of jericho all of these things are archaeological evidence which cant be refuted now wheather u want to believe or not is up to you but even atheists believe in god they know he exists but they just choose not to believe have a good life sir ill be praying that you get saved one day :)

From now on, you do know him and have seen him.” 1 Timothy 1:12-17 I thank him who has given me strength, Christ Jesus our Lord, because he judged me faithful, appointing me to his service, though formerly I was a blasphemer, persecutor, and insolent opponent. But I received mercy because I had acted ignorantly in unbelief, and the grace of our Lord overflowed for me with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus. The saying is trustworthy and deserving of full acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am the foremost. But I received mercy for this reason, that in me, as the foremost, Jesus Christ might display his perfect patience as an example to those who were to believe in him for eternal life. To the King of the ages, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.

None were contemporaneous with the reported Jesus.

@@seanbrady6731Niether were any with Julius Caesar’s 😂, who’s dates 150 years later before any of his.

Pliny and Tacitus don't confirm Jesus existed only that there was a religious cult known as Christians. Josepohus mentions Jesus, however all three of these men were writing from second hand knowledge and all three of them were not around to confirm anything. These are all second hand accounts not primary sources. None of the many Roman historians living in the area at the time wrote about Jesus it was only after this cult started forming. Should we assume the cult was based around a real person? Probably, but that isn't confirmation. People swear big foot exists but we have nothing but secondary information.

. Is it impossible to ask a question without insulting his integrity at the same time. How hard is it to be civil

@@PeepersonCreedo What an odd response. Perhaps re-read and re-think.

@@StamfordBridge why are you asking him if he has the guts to do something

@@PeepersonCreedo The question was not a snarky attack. The question was a straightforward, sincere query. As someone interested in ancient history, I greatly enjoy a piece like this that explores archeological finds that corroborate history as represented in the Bible. Yet as anyone with a cursory acquaintance of real, academic research and archeology into Antiquity of the Middle East would know, there is at least an equal amount of research that conflicts with biblical historical accounts. Yet this entire area is never explored in material made for popular American consumption, and it seem evident to me that the reason for this is a kind of fear. A huge percentage of the general public interested in biblical history doesn’t seem to really want to think and learn too much. They just want enough carefully curated history to confirm their preconceived beliefs. This “confirmation” material you’ll find over and over in the sphere of pop culture, but outside of academia you’ll never see creators with the guts to give the other “half” of the historical picture. I was asking this creator if they were ready to take that step and do the other half. Not an insult, a real question.

@@StamfordBridge i interpreted Your statement of asking him if he had the “guts” to do so, implying that you think he doesn’t. something similar to that as asking him if he has the spine to make that style of video. I apologize if I misunderstood your intentions when you made your statement. I can see how I may have taken the word out of context

Study the Word of God! Read John. Call upon the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be SAVED! Get a king james bible and believe. We love HIM because HE first loved us!

Don’t let anyone make you feel bad for trying to find your own truth. I use to be a Christian as a child, but actually grew to love the spiritual beliefs of my own ancestors (Thor, Freyr, etc). Mostly it started when I explored the origin of western holidays and even the days do the week.

@@Vandelberger You live in the year of our Lord Jesus Christ 2022 by a 7 day week as written. It is not 7 days because of the rotation of the earth or revolution around the sun. They have no reason it would be 7 days to begin with. The jews DID not evangelize. All is as written.

@@MichaelAChristian1 No, the 7 days are named after the old Saxon/ Germanic gods, but with Saturn (Saturday) and the Moon on Monday added later. Tuesday is for Tyr, Wednesday is Wodan, Thursday is named after Thor and Freyr for Friday. The seven days of the week did not always exist and don’t pretend they did.

@@Vandelberger Yes they did. Are you saying they didn't have WEEKS before then? Go ahead and say that so everyone can see your lies. Read Genesis. There is NO physical reason for 7 days except Genesis. "And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years: And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so. And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also. And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth, And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good." Genesis chapter 1 verses 14 to 18. Before the TELESCOPE existed the bible told you what the calendars would use. Then we see it was FORETOLD that He would come preach the ACCEPTABLE YEAR OF OUR LORD! In HIS name the gentiles trust. "Monday lundi Moon Tuesday mardi Mars Wednesday mercredi Mercury Thursday jeudi Jupiter Friday vendredi Venus Saturday samedi Saturn Sunday dimanche (Sun)" Again they HAVE NO reason it should even BE 7 days. Nor for how so many could FAIL to try to change it. They are lying to you. Jesus Christ is the ONLY SAVIOUR! Call upon the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be SAVED! We LOVE HIM BECAUSE HE FIRST LOVED US!

Also adding to your point, the great flood. There is a likely candidate for this incident, that could fit this timeline, and that is the creation of the black sea. One of the largest and fastest flooding events in human history, with the water levels estimated to have risen by several meters per day.

Exactly. And if you look at ancient Egyptian chariot wheels, they are very narrow. They'd be bogged down in an instant. People would have trouble crossing the mud.

@@perceivedvelocity9914 it's not really "angry atheism", I'm sure you've seen online people going to great, exhaustive lengths to prove someone they've never met wrong, so much so that this propensity can be leveraged with cunninghams law... Which is hilarious, you should try it on any social media platform of your choosing. Religion, having no provable points at all, and just like me saying pixies are real can't be satisfactorily proven wrong, you get: "just another person online arguing their point and being insulting about it because they've had no resolution". For most, it takes a bit of time to realise that there's not much point in arguing as there is no resolution, it doesn't matter that religion flies in the face of all established reason or logic, and for many they never realise that. Tl;dr: "angry atheists" are people arguing against a topic that has no experiment to prove - just like everyone else who argues dumb shit online.

I'd recommend Isaac Asimovs guide to the bible.

About that, while some have used the Cyrus Cylinder as proof that Cyrus allowed the Jews to return, the mainstream view is that Cyrus was simply continuing a long tradition started by Mesopotamian Kings whereby a new king would promise certain reforms to be done once he ascended the throne. The cylinder does not even mention Jews and Judea and only mentions Mesopotamian sanctuaries being rebuilt. As for the Isaiah prophecy, most Biblical scholars believe that the Book of Isaiah was actually composed in three parts. Part 1 consists of chapters 1-39 and were likely written by the Real Isaiah. Part 2 consists of chapters 40-55 and was most likely written by a follower of the real Isaiah who lived during the Babylonian Exile. And Part 3 consists of chapters 56-66 and was mostly written by another follower of the Real Isaiah who lived after the Babylonian exile.

@@ethanjacobrosca7833 the “second Isaiah” theory was proven wrong by the Dead Sea scrolls containing chapters 39 & 40 on the same scroll, which; the theory suggested was the separation of the “first” Isaiah and “second” Isaiah. I may have been wrong about the cylinder containing Cyrus’ naming the Jews but his freeing them and funding the temple rebuilding is undeniable. The temple cost in today would be billions, I would like an explanation for that, the releasing of the Jewish captives is one thing, but what inclined Cyrus to fund a massive project to the temple of a god he didn’t worship? He was shown the fully finished scrolls of Isaiah, which Josephus confirmed, which intrigued him so much he couldn’t deny the true God and acknowledged that it was His will to set them free and He (YHWH) was simply using Cyrus. I would like your opinion of the book of Daniel prophecy about the leader of Greece and how after he fell it would be divided into 4, which as history confirms was an accurate description of Alexander the Great, his conquest and his kingdom being divided by his 4 generals after his death. This was fulfilled in the fullest and it was written over 150 years before Alexander, they also believe that the reason Alexander didn’t sack Jerusalem was because he was shown the prophecy about him and his Greek empire and was extremely impressed. Was there a “second” Daniel? The main stream opinions of secular scholars though at the time and perhaps for a time may appear to be accurate but through archaeology the Bible has been proven over and over to be accurate. For instance; there was scholarly skepticism about the existence of king Sennacherib and his father king Sargon II among others for at the time there was no archaeological proof that they existed but overtime clear evidence of their undeniable existence was uncovered and it is now not even debated. The main stream has a narrative against the morals of the Bible which gets in the way of their cause and ways of doing things which has changed over the years but the Bible still gets in the way and there’s a threat to the main stream wether it be Christendom oppressing people and hiding the truth of the Bible which would expose their vile actions or people who think it is restrictive towards their sexual freedom. Therefore there are scholars who are day and night not only trying to prove the Bible wrong for the apparent benefit of the progression of mankind but to also make a name for themselves.

@@imissyoumom7644 I do not deny that Cyrus the Great was indeed committed to allowing the Jews to return home and funding the rebuilding of their temple, even if such is not mentioned in the Cyrus Cylinder. As for the Book of Daniel, most scholars has agreed that it was composed during the Greek period when Judea was under Seleucid Rule shortly before the Hasmonean Revolt and it was likely written in order to tell the Jews to remain faithful to God even under the oppressive policies of Antiochus IV due to the fact that while some of its information may be historically accurate, it has some discrepancies when it comes to chronology. As for your mention of a "second Daniel" it turns out that the Jewish and Christian Books of Daniel actually have one major difference: the Christian Book of Daniel is actually longer since it contains the following additions: the Prayer of Azariah and the Song of the Three Children as well as the stories of Susanna and the Elders and Bel and the Dragon. While these additions are present in the Septuagint version of Daniel, the Dead Sea Scrolls do not even contain those additions. As for your concern about the "Second Isaiah theory", keep in mind that the Dead Sea Scrolls date to between 200 BC to the first century AD, well after the 5th century BC (which is the time when most scholars believe the Book of Isaiah reached its final form).

@@ethanjacobrosca7833 there is a reason that the addition to Daniel and the extension to the holy scriptures are always listed separate from the Bible usually in the form of; “with apocrypha”. The apocrypha may be attached to the same physical bindings that contain the scriptures in some bibles but compared to the rest of the scriptures it is clear that those additions are clearly NOT inspired and serve no purpose in recording the progression of the seed of the messiah through the nation of Israel and God’s dealings with his people. The same is with the Quran and the Book of Mormon. And the Second Isaiah prophecy is not “mine” it was a secular theory titled as such. And the prophecy about Alexander the Great was recorded in Daniel chapter 8, which no one debates it’s canonicity and has never been considered part of the apocrypha.

@@ethanjacobrosca7833 I said my last two messages over voice text so I fixed the grammatical errors. It didn’t make much sense.

The past shît the drowning is embellished but they most likely couldn’t pursue and got caught in the mud and the weight of the chariots stopped them basically allowing Moses and his people get away. ❤

They did but of course this guy is not gonna put it because he’s an atheist or something else but the structure that acted like a bridge for the Israelites, was like 900 feet below sea level and the sides of the aka bridge it was way deeper like 5000 feet below.

That chariot wheel has been debunked years ago. Also, there is no evidence that Israelites have ever stayed in Egypt for hundreds of years. There's no evidence of the exodus. It simply couldn't have happened.

The name "Red Sea" came from Greek (Erythra Thalassa). The Hebrew name (Yam Suph) literally translates "The Sea of Reed" (singular because it's a mass noun in Hebrew). The Hebrew text was translated into Greek in the third century BCE, and the use of the "Red Sea" is not a literal translation, but rather the belief of the translators that the two were one and the same.
