Stop smoke and mirrors!!

You told me to show you.

Why don't you actually read something other than a Bible.

The Hebrews were a branch of the Canaanites and they were polytheistic up until the Roman Period.

 

If you read Scripture, you'll find that the Hebrews were a separate people, told to conquer the land of their Canaanite neighbors.

Then why do both the "scrolls" and the "Scriptures," when compared, show only minor errors after thousands of years of being translated thousand of times?

What's that have to do with "why" they were written?

Attention to detail by those qualified to translate such texts would be the obvious reason.

Israeli archaeologists have proven otherwise. They were just going after their fellow Canaanites.

As for "scripture" I had to read a lot of it. I actually went to something called a "seminary".

Here we go again. The scrolls date to the Roman Period and were only translated from Hebrew to Aramaic to English. Not "thousands of times".

Typical of fundamentalists who scream "Show me the evidence!" whilst closing their eyes and covering their ears.

God instructed Saul to destroy the women, children and livestock.

My people didn't kill women and children. We considered it "evil".

As is true with any other peoples on the planet, the above isn't necessarily true of all NA tribes.

Let me specify. Traditional  Algonquians don't kill women and children. We took them and adopted them.

Who cares about what Wikipedia thinks, what they say, and what you say. Most of us care about artifacts, historians, and the Scriptures.

The idea that perfectly human translators were just good at their jobs doesn’t even warrant consideration, eh?

No problem Piney, I knew what you meant. Just wanted to point it out that even NA weren't all of one mind on the idea of killing. Case in point, in my family, one of my GGGrandmothers (Martha Poage Moore) and daughter Jane were abducted by an NA raiding party and taken to Ohio where they were both eventually burned at the stake. Son John was killed because it was determined he was too weak to travel and a baby had its brains bashed out against a tree for crying all the time and giving away the Indians location. Husband Captain James Moore was killed at home and son James Moore, Jr. had been abducted by Indians 2 years prior in 1784. 

The above is from the unpublished manuscript, Indian Atrocities Along the Clinch, Powell and Holston Rivers, pages 149-152.

Apparently docyabut2 does as she used it in the post I was replying to. 

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

Prediction: Next will come a request for documentation to back up this claim.

Requested documentation will be provided, but left unread by the requester.

Requester will deny the evidence they were provided with, and claim reliance on their holy book.

 

It is really hilarious that 'evidence' and 'science' are scoffed at and denied, when they do not support biblical tales, but LO! Science is the bomb! when a discovery confirms something written about in their book.

Because the people doing the translating believed that what they were translating was the Word Of God and to change things willy-nilly was an insult to God, so when it was time to translate into a new language they spent a lot of time choosing the most appropriate word (and even then sometimes words lost nuance in translation, such as “murder” becoming “kill”).

I agree, most scholars agree that the oldest Hebrew scriptures (Genesis) was completed around 1500 B.C.E, which means that both the Israelite and the Canaanite civilization predate the bible. So, what is your point?
