I struggle with...

[Colter]

Did they minister in the Temple?

If so, how was the Temple transported there from Jerusalem?

They didn't have the Temple but thy still had everything else.

 

[AV1611VET]

They didn't have the Temple but thy still had everything else.

Where did they get the animals for their daily sacrifices?

one falsification of the fallibility of scripture is all it would take. As to flood, it doesn't say global...as to the Exodus, I recently read an article that said that archaeology just uncovered ancient remains consistent with the story...infallible...and so on and so on.

Most of the time in Genesis the word "Earth" is a translation of "Adamah" meaning the land or area that Adam was from. We know this was between the Euphrates and Tigris Rivers in what is not believed to be an area under the Persian Gulf north of the Strait of Hormuz. I have friends that work in Dubai and they talk about how this is the area where civilization began. (UAE)

All they have to do is set up a tent. They could start the animal sacrifices on the temple mount on a very short notice. They are pretty well set up and ready to go.

We're talking about the Captivity.

Coulter seems to think there were Hebrew priests writing the Scriptures during the Diaspora.

The Jews were in captivity in Babylon for 70 years. It is said that they lived relatively well and even prospered. Some decided to stay. There are specific instructions in their scriptures (which they rewrote in Babylon) on how set up the tent of meeting and carryout the ritualistic cleansing. I'm sure they could figure it out.

Editing and redacting previous accounts. So do Jewish and Christian scholar's.

Sorry ... I find that difficult to believe.

So let me see if I can come up with a proper comparison here, Coulter.

Let's say America is captured by Martians, and the elite are transported to Mars.

While on Mars, they re-write the Constitution.

Seventy years later, some of them come back to Earth, bringing that newly-redacted Constitution with them.

Are you saying that the Americans who were left behind (with the original Constitution) are going to subordinate the original to the Martian copy?

I don't think so, chief.

Why believe something just because the Bible teaches it? And does it really?

If we Study the bible long enough we will plainly see that no man or group of many, many men could have ever dreamed up such a Very Complicated Book. Truthfully, what other book can a person read for 50 years and still learn more from each day ? Only God could have and did deliver this message to us.

The I-Ching?

Seriously, you sound like a severe case of confirmation bias.

One man was smart enough to write "Dianetics", and many are dumb enough to follow it. Go figure.

Matthew 9:36 But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion on them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd.

Who's your shepherd?

I keep sheep (this is true). I'm not one of them.

Leading question. Why does it have to be a "who"?

None of my business, but how big is your flock?

Because many of the events were true. Do you believe everything you read in the newspaper????
