Leviticus 15:13 - Advanced medical knowledge?

Lev 15:13 - And when he that hath an issue is cleansed of his issue; then he shall number to himself seven days for his cleansing, and wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in running water, and shall be clean.

This is commonly cited to 'prove' that the Bible is divinely inspired because doctors didn't know to wash their hands in running water until the late 19th century. This of course ignores the nonsense before and after this verse!

I find it amusing that you're going out of your way to prove the Bible untrue or ridiculous... Is it such a threat to you and your belief (or unbelief) that you try to contradict it as a sense of security and being in control?

@jubify "going out of your way to prove the Bible untrue or ridiculous" I am doing nothing of the sort, I am going out of my way to show that particular literalist arguments are ridiculous. I have made several videos showcasing Bible verses I find particularly meaningful or beautifully written. Rather than paint me with a meaningless broad brush try to answer my questions. Is Lev 15:13 advanced medical knowledge? If so what about the rest of chapter 15?

Hey I have a couple unusual questions, but I really need to know.. So here it goes.haha, Where did you get the head set? Do you like it? They sound pretty good on this end.. If you answered it would really help, because I'm planning on buying a headset myself.

Thanks!

Great video by the way!

Keep 'em coming....

@TheTelevisionPirate It is a Logitech headset I bought at Fred Meyers. It is fine, my only complaint is the the mute switch is really easy to flip on accident, and I have had to re-shoot several vids because the sound mutes partway through.

Just how they throw John 3:16 around is out of context. But its OK for them to do it because they have the holy ghost or something.

On the bats being birds, heard a interesting argument for it on a Christian forum that, the hebrew word was closer to winged beasts, and it was simply translated to be birds for ease...heh not sure if true but kinda makes odd sense.

Nothing in Christianity is original all sacred rituals come from pagan religions. All scientific evidence and all historical evidence makes any rational person to conclude Christianity is pure mythology.

Yeah... Without god we couldn't possibly have figured out that it's preferable to have clean hands to having to eat while they're covered in dirt and shit.

[GuineaPigDan]

@dangerouslytalented It's in Ezekiel 4:9-15. Ezekiel refuses to cook his bread over human shit, so God suggests using cow shit instead. The next time I go to the store and buy some Ezekial 4:9 bread, I'll point out these verses to people just to see how they'll react.

I am a trained doctor, and i always sacrifice a dove after i have performed an appendicitus. This is standard medical practice, we just dont tell the public, as it would unnerve them.

Praise be to the Saviour Lord Jesus Christ.
