Those who know God are shouting bla bla bla
Flying private jets
Even in their religious centre they establish, they are surrounded with heavy security
But they give members stickers to secure themselves which is not free
Selling holy spirit inside bottle
Insulting government officials
Bragging about the money they receive
Lying about miracles that sound so wonderful... In this media age, they claim to resurrect someone embalmed for 7 days... The hospital, family, nobody has details or anything of such information
Opening the eye of a blind person who has never seen and immediately, he is describing colors that we that have eyes can't even mention all the names
Collecting money to build schools and hospitals and members offer labor but can't afford
Telling members never to receive vaccine as COVID-19 is antichrist and scam and nonexistent, any one who receive vaccine is faithless but they brag about how their members miraculously recover COVID-19
Sacking pastors for not bearing fruits money

That’s what makes it even more pathetic. I’d have some respect for them if their beliefs centered them and their gods favored them in the stories they believe. Instead, they are basically psychologically enslaved to Jews (and the image of the European they call Jesus) to their own detriment.

One person who seems to have understood this was Judas Maccabaeus. He refused the Hellenic beliefs in favor of his cultural beliefs and fought a war behind it.

1. History: The Bible is a book of history as it not only talks about God but discuss about the dealings with men spanning several millennia. The Bible is not a myth as it mention specific events, names of people, places that still exist today or that existed then and still supported by secular records. Unlike mythical and other religious books that uses 'once upon a time, a certain man in a certain land', the Bible mentions dates, places, names of people that are well corroborated by secular history and archeology ... Once upon a time, critics did not believe that people like David, Pilate, Belshazzar, Nineveh etc never existed. Archeology has silenced them and is silencing them... Bible writers also mentions their own weaknesses and how they and their kings were punished for rebellion e.g, Simon Peter denials, David adultery, Jonah disobedience, Moses punishment. Something that other history books would have left out... The Bible mentions the occupation of people of places, how they did things, buried people, punished people, their capitals, many things that we would never have otherwise known. People have taken interest to validate or invalidate these, only giving credit to the Bible

The Bible is NOT a history book. Most of the things it describes while having mentions of real people and places DO NOT match actual facts on ground. Some of them don't even have any evidence. No evidence for: a garden of Eden, a global flood, Tower of Babel, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, slavery in Egypt, exodus from Egypt, falling of Jerico walls and so on. You say there is evidence for David? There isn't. There is a evidence for a House of David but that's not the same thing. Till date no one knows where Solomon's temple site is, there is even no mention of any such temple from any writings of that period that have been found so far. Sure it does mention people and places that have extra biblical evidence but it is so at odds with what is actually known. Take for instance the supposed census that took place during the time of Jesus' birth. Scholars point out that there was no single census of the entire Roman Empire under Augustus and the Romans did not directly tax client kingdoms; further, no Roman census required that people travel from their own homes to those of their ancestors. A census of Judaea would not have affected Joseph and his family, who lived in Galilee under a different ruler.

There is no concrete reason to use the bible as a historical text. It even conflicts with itself about certain events, giving mutually exclusive descriptions of the same event. How can such an unreliable recounting be the basis for actual history?

This one carefully went to beg critics for nonsense
The Bible itself mentions that the garden of Eden was lost
Archaeologists have uncovered a stone with the words 'field of Abram'
Artifacts have been found regarding Solomon temple including one that bears the name 'Siloam'. Historian Josephus wrote about the temple. The issue with secular evidence was cos the temple was destroyed and another was later constructed
There is secular evidence as to the destruction of Jericho walls. Your determination to find details from critics did not even make you compare the evidence and the timing well corroborate that as presented in Bible.

The Egyptian priests were the ones that wrote abut their history. Their gods and kings were humiliated and we are not surprised we can't find evidence from their writings about the exodus but there are evidence as to the building Cities and river Nile and that Semitic speaking slaves lived in Egypt
However, it is important to note that the absence of secular evidence does not disprove historical events

Even if all what you wrote were true, the last ones you wrote about Rome census and tax is the biggest lie and shows your level of ignorance and shortsightedness... Evidence opoor gan (evidence plenty wella... If you had done the research, you wouldn't have mentioned that one rather than copy and paste nonsense. You, the blind person that you copied all that and the blind person that liked your comments without investigating

Quote the verse that said the garden of Eden was lost.
So what if they find a stone with field of Abram written on it? How does that mean it was the Abraham of the Bible it was referring to?
Siloam has nothing to do with Solomon. It was supposedly built during Hezekiah's reign.
There is no archeological find that confirms the Jerico's walls story. Bring it if you think there is.
The same Egyptians who repeatedly defeated many kingdoms in the Levant and even had vassal states there would now be too afraid to write that the Hebrews were once their slaves? Besides that, the Bible says millions of people roam an area 10x smaller than Nigeria for 40years and left no trace? Really?
LoLz. Bring the evidence that the Romans forced people to travel for a census.

Go and find out the verse yourself... It's in Isaiah. Blind atheist
Again, I say that lack of secular evidence does not disprove an historical event. So go and.
Genesis account mentions that Abram before he was named Abraham purchased a field in Canaan... Now that I should you the evidence, you are talking nonsense. Was Abraham an Worldpower that you expect all secular historians to write about him? That inscription that cited his name amd the field is very significant. It is a proof. Believe it or not... That same thing has been used to identify other notable figures as historical. So why leave out Abram cos you hate the Bible. If it is not significant for you, it is for us especially as it is associated with when Shishak of Assyria invaded Israel (Remember that critics once said that Shishak never existed as there was no extra-biblical reference to his existence but they have now been silenced)
I say you could Google evidence of Jericho... Critics even agree now on the timing of the destruction as presented by archeologists... You were the ones bringing nonsense without examination. So go and find out... The Israelites roamed the wilderness for 40 years. Even if I presented an evidence, you'll ask me if it was not another nation that were roaming. Do you want to tell me that names of places, nations, rivers that were recorded in that account never existed such as Goshen, Nile, etc... Whether the Egyptians kept records of them or not is not my problem and it won't cure your strongheadedness

The evidence of the nonsense you wrote about the Romans

There is no Shishak, what there is is Shoshenq. Just another way the Bible is an unreliable narrator.

Yes, yes and yes. Free at Quran.com and 1.49 on eBay. And it's in English. Can't read the Hebrew and Aramaic Old Testament nor the Koine New if not for their translations too. Just saying so you know.

Also, it's believers do not think it was inspired, for that would degrade it with human input as opposed to Angel Gabriel bringing it directly from God.
