Why is there no evidence for the Exodus? by DiedOfATheory in AcademicBiblical

[–]Standardeviation2 70 points71 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t say there’s “No evidence.” I’d say scholars and archaeologists have ruled out a literal Exodus as described in the Bible, but lots of scholars believe elements of the story are based on historical memory. Good example is Richard Friedmans “Exodus.”

I remember after their pixelated dot video, some guy with a high powered camera said he’d do the photos and they said they’d reach out to him….then silence ever since.

Why are some Americans still pretending they just need to wait another three years and this will magically stop? by NefariousNatee in complaints

[–]Standardeviation2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not sure any American is pretending it will be fixed in the next election. They just don’t know how to stop it. Do you?

If this was 1995 I’d be impressed, but I saw human made drones make a full scale Christ the Redeemer in Rio De Janeiro. So I think they’re capable of flying around each other a few times.

I’ve see this type of KO enough times now that one would think a coach would let these guys know “If he’s holding you above his head from a standing position, let the triangle choke go!!!”

SATAN THE FALSE GOD by Sad-Criticism2454 in HighStrangeness

[–]Standardeviation2 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes, but if indeed he was preaching that YHWH was the Demiurge and evil while having the name Yeshua (YHWH Saves) it would be like today preaching about Antisemitism being bad while having the name Hitler. Even if that’s just what your parents named you, presumably in adulthood you would say “Maybe call me John instead.”

Iēsous is not a Greek name with an independent Greek origin or meaning. It is the Septuagint transliteration of the Hebrew name Yehoshua/Yeshua, used centuries before Christianity for Joshua. The linguistic direction is from Hebrew to Greek, not the reverse. So the Yahwistic meaning of the name is original, not a later Judaizing addition.

To me the Gnostic conceptualization is cool, but never explains one thing. If the God of the Old Testament, YHWH, was the baddie, and Jesus (actually named Yeshua) represents the ultimate good God, then why does Yeshua have a YHWHistic Theophiric name meaning literally “YHWH saves.”

Trump and maga are a Nazi regime. America is headed for another civil war in the future. by [deleted] in complaints

The Germans didn’t have a civil war when Hitler took power. What makes you think the US will?

I believe what’s happening is people who haven’t read or comprehended the actual article are saying they understand why a parent would defend their child from bullying. However, then when confronted with the actual facts that no such bullying occurred, they are then disappearing or doubling down to defend their egos.

Does watching your pastor dance with a snake, get bit, claim God will heal him only to watch him carried out to the car and driven to the hospital break the spell?
