Does archaeology confirm or contradick the Bible?

[gregrutz]

Archaeology show that by 6000 BC Egyptians in the SW corner of Egypt were herding cattle and constructing large buildings. Subsistence in organized and permanent settlements in predynastic Egypt by the middle of the 6th millennium BC centered predominantly on cereal and animal agriculture. Metal objects replaced prior ones of stone. Tanning of animal skins, pottery and weaving are common. There are indications of seasonal occupation of the Al Fayyum in the 6th millennium BC. What global flood?

Paul Maier is one smart man.

Geology proves the bible wrong. The earth is old and there was no flood.

Contradick? lol

[BillKiernan]

"contradick"

[geezzerboy]

What a bunch of nonsense.

[Bullettube]

No Historian will be found who said that Pontius Pilate didn't exist. What historians do disagree about is the claim of king David and King Solomon, as the evidence suggests that they were mere chieftains. There is also a lack of evidence as to the number of Israelites in Egypt, perhaps 6,000, but not 600,000 and definitely not captive for 500 years. The 2nd dynasties are well documented and there is no mention of that many captives from anywhere.

It doesn't matter if the Bible confirms or contradicts history. It was not meant to be a textbook. The Bible is full of errors because the people who wrote the stories didn't know as much about the real world as we know today.

Please tell me one error.

You can believe whatever you want, just don't try to teach it outside your church. When lightning strikes a church, you don't laugh and say they deserved it. Instead you help them install a better lightning rod.

[Valandil00]

So you don't have one...so you'd have no reason no to believe it:D

[BoundtoYeshua]

Please elaborate on the errors in the Bible that you said exist.

[LotusGreenX]

"Please tell me one error."

The contradiction of the "staff", Jesus failed prophecy, mentioned several times and only stretching all these texts can one say Jesus didn't proclaim an early return.

Jesus was said to be born during the reign of Herod the Great while in Luke Quirinius was governor of Syria. This couldn't have been true since Herad died in 4 B.C. and the census took place somewhere around 6 A.D.

Genesis: birds before land animals, light before sun and stars...

What about the prophecies that did happen?What about those?And maybe those prophecies that didn't happen WILL happen.

[LotusGreenX]

"What about the prophecies that did happen?"

Please name specifically. Maybe when you do give undeniable prophecies all of us skeptics will be Christians. Either that or only the intellectually foolish people will be atheists.

[Valandil00]

Remaking of the state of Israel in 1948 is one of them,rising from the dead(witnessed by 500 people-provable by the fact that the priest wanted to tell the others that the body was STOLEN-we conclude that the body was not there anymore,therefore he had risen),increased wars on a short time scale,things happening fast(we've been having technology for only 100 years) these are small examples,search the net for fulfilled prophecies.

[LotusGreenX]

"Remaking of the state of Israel in 1948 is one of them"

How amazing. The Christian superpower of America finally fulfilled the prediction of their God after thousands of years. Perhaps your trying to give honest prophecy fulfillments, but I've heard Christians claim much better ones.

[Valandil00]

Increased wars,increased cataclisms,increased amount of hate in people.Formation of a new world order,new government,ALREADY IN PROGRESS. E.U.,America,the African Union,the ASian union tc...they will be brogught close together by an antichrist which will be a president!

[LotusGreenX]

"they will be brogught close together by an antichrist which will be a president!"

I think you've watched too much of the "Left Behind series." These kind of expectations are what atheists don't tolerate about religion: when they misuse the earth because they expect Jesus to come back within their lifetime.

[Valandil00]

"But He was pierced through for our transgressions,He was crushed for our iniquities.The chastening for our well-being fell upon Him and by His scourging we are healed."-Isaiah 53:5-Written 700 years before Jesus existed!Isaiah is talking about Jesus and NO there's not mistake here,it really is about Jesus!Another prophecy is the BIG STAR that guided the three magi(they were astronomers,physicians etc),tests were done and yes there was a big star in that time!

[LotusGreenX]

"Isaiah 53:5"

Fair enough it sounds a lot like Jesus, of course translations can help. But what about the part where it talks about the suffering servants descendants and every other passage of Isaiah uses the suffering servant to refer to Israel?

Besides that we already know the gospel authors were quick to try to make their leader coerrelate to Old testament "prophecies." The famous Isaiah 7:14 about Jesus virgin birth is taken out of context and doesn't even have to mean virgin either

[Valandil00]

They wanted o see if the so called rainbow appeared after the great flood,they used this powerful computer program.They confirmed it THERE WAS A RAINBOW ON THE EXACT SAME DAY as it says it was.Please search for prophecies of the bible,you'll be amazed!

[LotusGreenX]

"They wanted o see if the so called rainbow appeared after the great flood,they used this powerful computer program."

Scientists consider the flood story to be bunk not just because there is no evidence for it, but if it did occur there would be many facts that contradict science and common sense. How did Noah have every kind of animal come in the boat and leave the boat onto every continent without dying is an amazingly fictisious accomplishment right there.

[stephjh2006]

@LotusGreenX wasit not a local flood?

[Bullettube]

Read the above post. I listed 5.

[Faithfull7]

a real world is what God makes of it , how the world is now is filled with lies created by men who followed the lies of satan

the government knows more what goes one but they keep everything secret if that is what you call a real world then so you believe i know where i can find the real truth that is with God he shares his knowledge with me everyday and i'm glad i know the truth and you say bible is full of errors name one and prove that it is wrong if you cant prove it then shut it.
