This thread was about finding the REAL facts, not combating them.Trying to combat facts like the Exodus never happening... this is basically a thread of trying to go against your own common sense.
Really telling. Really disturbing.

How can we combat this?
Your twisting my words. I asked how we can combat the "claims"Please, you should start from Genesis. And more importantly the Exodus never happened. And I'm willing to bet my house that none of that stuff involving a random person coming into Egypt and just usurping a pharaoh outta nowhere.
o rly?
Your words.
Egyptian Mythology tells a lot of the most important stories of the Bible in incredible accuracy, but PREDATES the Bible by very many years.
Well, for one thing, MMK, the world of scholarly biblical studies is in fact interested in who wrote what, when, where. For another, teh Mosaic authorship of the Pentateuch sanctifies the Torah. For example, all the OT laws are sacred and holy, on the grounds that God handed them down to Moses. Take Moses out and it is a very different story. For example, I hold that these laws were written much later than the time of Moses and then projected back to him kin order the sanctify them. I hold the tests were not at all written until centuries after the time of Moses and therefore contain considerable spin-doctoring or mythic elements. I then seriously challenge the notion that Scripture is inerrant, a fundamental dogma among many Christians.
