If that were true in your case you'd know that artifacts and historians CONTRADICT much of what Scriptures claim.

Oh sure, you can pull up some article that says this or that, but talk is cheap. Most archeologist, historians, and Scriptures all agree, in the Bible's foresight-history proves it.

You keep saying "historians say 'x' " without really knowing what historians are actually saying.

You should stop doing that.

Again, another lie. Either support you claims as to what archaeologists and historians agree on or admit your lie.

". . . and even then sometimes words lost nuance in translation, such as “murder” becoming “kill). 

Check the original Hebrew. Period. Stop smoke and mirrors.

Hey preacher, cite your sources for your assertions.

Do you speak/read ancient Hebrew?

Or are you just a liar for god?

No, that's not what I said. I said, Historians, Archeologist, and most importantly, Yahweh.

If I remember correctly the original version contained just Eve and the serpent showed her how to use the plants and/or animals.

Why is it more important what a mystical being says over people who actually researched it?

Yahweh once said of the nation of Israel, " . . . these people have less sense than the animals; at least they know who their master is.

It right in the Book of Samuel.

Didn't you even read the Bible? 

I think you didn't read it. Provide context, not smoke and mirrors.

You keep including historians and archaeologists which suggests you're an habitual liar. Either provide support for your claims or take responsibility for lying.

As I don’t speak ancient Hebrew, even assuming the Torah was written in Hebrew, but experts into whom I have put my trust, virtue of them being experts, have saud the word “kill” was a King James Vulgate mistranslation/simplification of the word “murder”.

Why, incidentally, are you calling the Lord God “Yahweh”? Are you Jewish? If so, I thought the correctly written form of His name was “Y-H-W-H”, omitting the vowels for reasons that I forget.

However, if you’re Catholic like I seem to recall you claiming, the Lord God is best referred to as “Lord”, sometimes “Lord God” or “Abba” if you’re being really poncy and want to use the Aramaic.

Samuel told Saul God instructed him to destroy everything. It's right in the book of Samuel. 

I don't think you ever read it.

Quote

15 One day Samuel said to Saul, “The Lord sent me to anoint you king over his people Israel. Now listen to his message. The Lord All-Powerful says: ‘When the Israelites came out of Egypt, the Amalekites tried to stop them from going to Canaan. I saw what the Amalekites did. Now go fight against the Amalekites. You must completely destroy the Amalekites and everything that belongs to them. Don’t let anything live; you must kill all the men and women and all of their children and little babies. You must kill all of their cattle and sheep and all of their camels and donkeys.’”

Samuel Chapter 15

Again, if you’re as christian as you desperately want people to know, it behooves you to stop lying about what historians say.

Why are the most obnoxiously “christian” posters the ones who are the most outrageous liars?

Probably because they are the most ignorant and uneducated.

I feel bad for them. For hundreds of years, the church produced some of the greatest minds in the world — trained them in logic and speaking, encouraged their studies in natural history and the sciences — but now so many christians are semi-literates who have never read the Bible but still use it to defend their bigotry and prejudice.

When I was a kid in the 60's I noticed people didn't actually read the bible.  Someone told them it said such and such and pointed to an incomplete sentence in a book and verse and they repeated it believing they knew what they were talking about.  I was called a blasphemer simply because I could read and had been taught to read for meaning.
