I have one agreement, and one disagreement.
I disagree with your claim that the Bible OT was concocted. There are too many archaeological evidence proving that what was written in it and described in it for up to 1450 years Before Christ, and the descriptions in those writings supposedly dating up to 4500 years BC, to discard.
There are massive evidence on descriptions from archaeology that Bible criticizers made out as untrue, just like you, that was discovered over the last 150 years proving that there is not a single archaeological discovery contradicting the Bible. Therefore, I do not accept your claim when Archaeology, history and science proves otherwize.
Now the agreement.
The Jews did not exist during the Babylonian exodus.
They were Judeans, and the name was only coined in 440 BC when the Temple and Jerusalem was reconstructed.
So, as a matter of fact my agreement is actually also a disagreement.
because, you forget that there are what we call
SECULAR ARCHAEOLOGICAL DISCOVERIES PROVING THE BIBLE CORRECT LONG BEFORE THE BABYLONIAN CAPTIVITY.
What about the depiction as described in the Bible when Sennacherib came with an army to destroy Judea in 700 BC?
Siege of Lachish Reliefs at the British Museum – Ancient History et cetera
This happened 100 years before Jerusalem was attacked and destroyed.
Guess what, Sir Austen Henry Layard, John George Taylor, Sir Henry Rawlinson, Hormuzd Rassam, and William Loftus discovered Sennacheribs palace in Ninive in 1845 and found a relief 2.5 meters high running continuous for 30 meters in one room. Today you can see this in the British museum.
It depicts how the Assyrians came down to Judea, surrounded all the cities, destroyed the inhabitants bt beheading, impaling, skinning etc.
it shows how Senacherib gives a message to his Rabsakhe and much more. Senacherib boasts how he shut Hezehiah up in Jerusalem as a bird in a cage...
All this is to be found in the Old Testament, and all this descriptions was claimed not to have happened by many Bible critics over hundreds of years.
Guess what, they all were shut up when they found a stone cut 'Documentary" proving the Bible correct on this history.
Colter, I wish you would open your eyes and investigate before making claims that does not hold water.
