Some food for thought.

I got up out of bed tonight at 8:00 pm. I made me a pot of coffee and sat with my wife as she was watching TV. She was watching the ION channel. And they had an updated version of "The Ten Commandments."

It brought to mind the special the History Channel "The Exodus Revealed."

There has been more and more attempts by scientists to "debunk" the 10 plagues of Egypt. But what suprises me is although they have some fanciful explainations for the plagues, they never examine what scriptures say.

They explain the river of blood as "red mud" or "red tide" as the most logical explaination. But they forget that even though Egypt went thirsty, Israel did not. Explain that scientists!

When the animals of Egypt died, the animals of Israel didn't. Explain that scientists.

When Egypt went into darkness, Israel had light in their homes. Explain that scrientists!

And they have even tried to say that when Moses parted the Red Sea, it was misinterpretation and what it really said was that Moses parted the Reed Sea. Well praise God, that was even a greater miracle than what the Bible describes. Do you realize that the Reed Sea is only ankle deep? Praise God He drowned the army of Egypt in ankle deep water!

Explain that scientists!

And there is even now some disputed evidence that actually supports the Exodus account of the Red Sea parting and drowning of Egypts chariots.

Chariot Wheels found at the bottom of the Red Sea -- See pictures below and the route

Scientists can try to explain away God's works, but ultimately, they can't.

What an awsome God we serve.

God Bless

Scientists like to try and debunk the bible.. but they are 'kicking tyres' as it were...

people have been trying to challenge and debunk the bible for thousands of years (around 2000 for the New Testament).. and it has stood up to challenges and debunks as more and more is revealed in archeology and manuscript evidence.

There are places that are referred to in the bible that in the past didn't seem logical.. like a town that isn't anywhere to be seen or with a person.. no reference to anyone with that name.. but further findings have changed these type of problems. An example is where one town was meant to be in a certain spot which was referred to as having a pool with certain dimensions. People found a town but no pool.. then when the sands cleared away some more.. they found the town went deeper and there was a pool with the same description in the bible.

These kind of things have been happening over the past 15-20 years quite alot.. where previous claims that seem to debunk the bible end up not being a problem through new findings or through rethinking a passages correct context.

Thanks DD that is awesome info. I really enjoy looking into this sort of Biblical historical findings!!!

Yeah when I read about the wheels at the bottom of the sea....I was applauding. This is just like when the Discovery channel had that so called special about The Tomb of Jesus or something similar.

I try not to watch those shows. They are not productive in any way.

I'm never sure about the motivation behind these theories. Some people wish to simply discredit the Bible. Other, more well-intentioned people, seek to demonstrate that the Exodus was a historical event. Either way, the result is that people reject the Ten Plagues as miracles meant to show the Israelites that the Lord was superior to the false gods of Egypt.

But just so that scientists aren't unfairly stereotyped, not all of us reject the notion of the purely supernatural. :)

Brother, I just think its funny that even though these "scientists" can offer any number of explainations for what caused the plagues, they overlook the fact that while this was happening to Egypt, nothing happened to Israel who were present at the same place, at the same time, and nothing happened to them.

Its just funny.

I seen a show on one of the "educational" channels recently about Jesus and they were disputing which Nazareth he was from, apparently there was more than one.

[bumpkin1]

I watched a couple of shows like this. One was on the epistle of Judas. They were saying that Jesus talked Judas into betraying Him three nights before he did.

It's this kind of garbage that young people buy in to. The devil tries to sew seeds of doubt here and there, and people buy into it. Just like evolution.....or should I say eviloution.

another thread I was in today had a photo posted of the God's eye nebula. I posted a link to one of my favorite sites (the NASA image of the day site) with the comment that I truly don't understand how folks can look at the universe and deny God's existence

Also they don't explain that the neighbour nations were terrified for centuries by the God of Israël. Miracles in Egypts are reminded long after, in Kings or so, i believe.
