OLAADEGBU: The Midianites were descended from Abraham and Keturah (Gen. 25:1). They inhabited the land of Moab and were apparently involved in seducing Israel into going after false gods. Because the Israelites fell into idolatry this way, God told Moses to order the deaths of all who had bowed to the false gods in that land. 1 Like 1 Share |

OLAADEGBU: Don't really know where to start from, I don't even want to waste any body's time... The bible is not a history textbook, it is a spiritual manual.. For spiritual Instructions.. The battle is symbolism.. Woman is the symbol for wisdom in Jewish mythology.. In my place it is the tortoise and in some it is the bee.. (proverbs 3).the type of woman will give you the type of wisdom.. A virgin woman is divine wisdom.. An Olosho is common sense sense or common wisdom.. Hence when Isaiah says in those days 7 women will take hold of 1man.....it means when the time comes people will have perfect wisdom or understanding of the written words.. So the battle you describe is taking place inside of you.. The children simply means get rid of childish thoughts, but the Virgin women means you should retain wisdom for yourself... Like I said in one of my thread... "the letter killeth" |

CAPSLOCKED: Do you believe the above biblical story really happened? |
Re: Why Were Only The Virgins Left Alive Among The Midianites? by CAPSLOCKED: 6:13pm On Sep 16, 2018 |
OLAADEGBU: WHAT? I DIDN'T WRITE ANYTHING IN THE BIBLE. IF THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO CALL THEMSELVES CHRISTIANS WHO BELIEVE IN THE BIBLE, IF THEY CAN ACCEPT THAT SHEDRACH AND HIS FRIENDS WALKED IN A FIRE WITHOUT GETTING BURNT, THAT DANIEL SURVIVED THE LIONS DEN, THAT A TALKING SNAKE DECEIVED A WOMAN WHO WAS MADE FROM THE RIB OF A MAN WHO WAS MADE FROM SAND, THAT JONAH LIVED IN A LIVING FISH, THAT THERE WAS A PREGNANT VIRGIN AND A MAN WHO SPOKE TO THOUSANDS AT ONCE WITHOUT AN AMP AND FED THEM WITH 5 TINY LOAVES OF BREAD, THAT PEOPLE CAME OUT OF GRAVES WHEN ONE MAN DIED ON THE CROSS, THAT MEN ASCENDED INTO THE SKY ON FLYING HORSES, THAT THE WHOLE NILE TURNED TO BLOOD AND THOUSANDS CROSSED A SEA THAT WAS SPLIT INTO TWO... .. THEN THEY HAVE TO ACCEPT THAT THE OTHER VERSES ABOUT RAPING AND KILLING CHILDREN AND WOMEN EXCEPT VIRGINS HAPPENED AS THE WILL OF GOD. THERE'S NO NEED TO CHERRY-PICK ANYTHING, I'M NOT SURE GOD WOULD LIKE THAT. IT'S NOT MY FAULT THAT THE CHRISTIAN GOD IS A CRUEL, EVIL, HOMOPHOBIC, GENOCIDAL, PATRIARCHAL, ENVIOUS, PROUD, TERRIBLE, BLOOD-THIRSTY MISOGYNIST.. EXACTLY LIKE THE STONE-AGE MEN WHO CREATED HIM. 3 Likes |

CAPSLOCKED:funny as it may seem,you refer to biblical testimonies as some kind of myth and yet you are so bitter towards this supposed fiction. and you have made God the bad guy completely excluding the devil from the picture exactly what the devil wants. so don't you see that you and the devil are some kind of allies 1 Like |

CAPSLOCKED: So you believe that the 'Christian God' really exists and that the stories in the Bible about Him are true. |

OLAADEGBU: SOMETIMES I HAVE TO PLAY ALONG. IT'S FUN THAT WAY. Chidorx60: IMAGINE I UNLEASH MY MAD DOG IN A KINDERGARTEN SCHOOL. NOW THESE LITTLE GUYS CAN'T STAND A CHANCE AGAINST MY GIANT MENTAL DOG. I HAVE EVERY POWER TO RECALL OR TAME MY DOG AND PREVENT IT FROM TORMENTING THE LITTLE KIDS AND CAUSING COLOSSAL DAMAGE BUT I DON'T DO THAT. INSTEAD I EXPECT THEM TO FIND A WAY RESIST AND SURVIVE THE GIANT MAD DOG'S ATTACK.. AND OVER THE YEARS, THE ATTACKS DON'T STOP, AND KIDS ARE GETTING KILLED AND DESTROYED BY THIS BEAST.. BUT I STILL DO NOTHING EVEN THOUGH I HAVE ALL THE POWER TO TERMINATE THE DOG. A REASONABLE RATIONAL PERSON WILL PUT THE BLAME ON ME INSTEAD OF THE DOG OR CHILDREN. 3 Likes 1 Share |

CAPSLOCKED:I BELIVE you are referring to the devil as the mad dog but in Christianity every true Christian have the power to not only resist but send that mad dog running so you see the real dogs are the ones used by the devil to rick havoc in the world but God still make provisions to those willing to repent |

If the Bible is not historical but allegorical, then this support the Bible being full of myths. |
