1 | are the bible translations accurate? | OT general | nickycan1 | 139055 | ||
well like I referenced to the crossing of the red sea as is generally thought. now knowing the words used to describe the red sea( exodus 13:18) "yam suph" has been translated to mean sea of reeds which according to the maps in that time would place the crossing futher north than the red sea. this area is well known as wetlands where it is feasable to cross and would also offer a logical explination for the chariots and their drivers to be easly defeated. it still doesn't explain the eatern winds that the scripture explained for the parting of the "sea" but anyone who has or is studying archeology would easily explain away the "hand of God" saving the israelites as no more than men ambushing the egyptians who were in pursuit in an area ideal for people lacking in number or in defence. I myself see this as something nothing more than ideas or theories which cannot not be proven but to unbelievers and weak christians challenges such as this one would and is a delicate area where as believers we can stand to use some more education | ||||||

nickycan1 - While we are looking for 'logical explanations' for what happened during the exodus, let us not overlook ways to explain away God's ex nihilo creation -- everyone knows how illogical this is, since matter can neither be created nor destroyed. And we must not neglect ways to explain away Noah's flood, the tower of Babel, Jonah's encounter with the big fish, Christ's virgin birth, His miracles, His bodily resurrection from the dead, and His ascension. Surely, says the 'logical' mind of man, these accounts were either mere hoaxes to begin with or they have been mistranslated for thousands of years. ..... Ho! says the 'logical' human mind, I've found the key that opens the door to the origin of earth and man. Eureka! The big bang! And out of the big bang came, over billions of years, some primordial ooze, and out of the ooze appeared a single living cell, and that cell eventually decided to add another cell and then another until by and by it grew into a tadpole and the tadpole became a frog and the frog learned to croak and over eons of evolution the frog eventually turned into a man, went to Harvard and became a Ph.D. who still croaks about how much more he knows than those ignorant old Jews who wrote about creation and Jonah and the virgin birth of Christ. And how he loves to croak about how infinitely wiser he is than God. Yes, let's continue to find more and more ways to explain away the Bible, let's be done with miracles and the foolishness of preaching the gospel of Christ, let's cast aside all these fetters, free our marvelous minds, and use human logic. History shows how inerrant it is! Look how marvelously peaceful and perfect the world has become since man learned to put God on the back burner, lean to his own understanding, and do what is right in his own eyes. Forward, march! Let's ever keep sloshing to Gomorrah! --Hank | ||||||
