The sacrifice in Job 1:5 is of the patriarchal "rite" which is pre-Mosaic

2019-04-28 08:43:28 UTC

Same for the daughters' inheritances in Job 42:15

2019-04-28 08:43:50 UTC

And the measurement of his wealth in flocks instead of money, Job 42:12

2019-04-28 08:43:59 UTC

keep in mind that in oral cultures the core details of a story are preserved very well, but the secondary details tend to fluctuate.

2019-04-28 08:44:26 UTC

And for him to live 200 or so years, this happened for some time after the flood but not by the time of Moses

2019-04-28 08:45:12 UTC

So I'd put him pre-Abraham

2019-04-28 08:45:26 UTC

But not by much

2019-04-28 08:45:57 UTC

it's reasonable to assume that the secondary details of the story changed over the possible millenniums. but here we ask, is it unreasonable to say that is Job were a big part of the story of the bible, surely he would have been mentioned in the details of Genesis?

2019-04-28 08:46:10 UTC

or even exodus?

2019-04-28 08:46:36 UTC

There's a lot of stuff left out, or even stuff included that may seem strange

2019-04-28 08:46:42 UTC

Most people don't notice it

2019-04-28 08:47:54 UTC

I'm Catholic so this may seem like a biased perspective but there's a ton of references to deuterocanonical books (rejected by Protestants). But to be fair there are actually Biblical references to books rejected by all Christians, and even books entirely lost forever.

2019-04-28 08:49:22 UTC

the problem I've had with Genesis is that in oral cultures legendary details tend to seep in over the generations (usually after 120-130 years), so when the bible says "days" in genesis, I've never taken it to mean literal days. the new testament I've taken much more literally since the people who were in the events were still alive as the books were written down, in some cases as little as five years after the death of christ

2019-04-28 08:49:30 UTC

And other books that we may not know what it refers to; could be books we still have, some we don't

2019-04-28 08:50:07 UTC

Well I have to rely a bit on the supernatural for this; God's word isn't gonna be lost.

2019-04-28 08:51:17 UTC

you don't have to for god's word. the bible states it clearly that everything that can decay into nothing will before even the slightest word of god is gone

2019-04-28 08:51:50 UTC

By supernatural I mean, God, above the natural and observable

2019-04-28 08:51:55 UTC

for me, it isn't just the bible that is the word of god but the laws of the universe he wrote to permit the very existance of life

2019-04-28 08:52:45 UTC

the code in my DNA is the word of god, recordable but so far uncrackable

2019-04-28 08:53:10 UTC

Joshua 10:13 refers to the Book of the Just Man. Which is lost.

2019-04-28 08:53:35 UTC

the book of chronicles refers to a book which recorded all the deeds of the kings of Israel

2019-04-28 08:53:39 UTC

that one is gone too

2019-04-28 08:53:41 UTC

Numbers 21:14-15 refers to the Book of the Wars of the Lord

2019-04-28 08:55:03 UTC

the only way these can be reconciled is if they aren't physical books

2019-04-28 08:55:05 UTC

The Just Man is sometimes called Jasher

2019-04-28 08:55:32 UTC

as in they are books recorded by god but not for man

2019-04-28 08:55:36 UTC

Well I believe in them being physical books, that are lost, but aren't necessarily the word of God

2019-04-28 08:55:49 UTC

then that is why they are lost to time

2019-04-28 08:55:57 UTC

But were obviously of some cultural importance

2019-04-28 08:56:15 UTC

And it is possible they aren't lost, we just haven't rediscovered them

2019-04-28 08:56:46 UTC

many books head down the river of time, but not all of them survive the rapids of history. Very few from that time survive into the present day unless they've held part of or the absolute truth

2019-04-28 08:57:07 UTC

The Art of War is a good non-biblical example I can give

2019-04-28 08:58:00 UTC

Gospel of Judas (noncanonical of course) was thought lost until 2006

2019-04-28 08:58:26 UTC

maybe the Vatican has all the missing books.

2019-04-28 08:58:37 UTC

wouldn't be surprised at all if they did

2019-04-28 08:59:13 UTC

The archives are a lot less exciting than people think

2019-04-28 08:59:38 UTC

Probably just keeping up an illusion for tourism but, it is possible to get in there with scholarly credentials

2019-04-28 09:00:40 UTC

I'm going to head off for sleep.

2019-04-28 09:33:04 UTC

Goodnight bro

2019-04-29 13:59:18 UTC

Honk honk

2019-04-29 16:29:27 UTC

This guy needs to be thrown in a tub full of pig lard

2019-05-03 12:52:15 UTC

Heil Zucc

2019-05-03 20:24:36 UTC

^literally me when i was a liberal and hearing a conservative podcast and agreeing with most of the points after being stuck in an echo chamber known as the left wing

2019-05-04 00:40:00 UTC

Tbh it's hard to be a liberal

2019-05-04 00:40:15 UTC

you need to be ignorant as fuck when you have access to net

2019-05-04 00:43:36 UTC

Feels over facts

2019-05-04 00:43:57 UTC

The hypocrisy of it gets to you eventually

2019-05-04 00:44:13 UTC

Their reality is just broken

2019-05-04 00:44:16 UTC

Wait... MY MONEY is being used for what?

2019-05-04 00:44:27 UTC

I dont like that.

2019-05-04 00:44:44 UTC

I just thought it was a good idea

2019-05-04 00:44:59 UTC

But no if I'm paying for it I dont like that

2019-05-04 00:45:15 UTC

And that's how everyone basically becomes conservative

2019-05-04 00:45:54 UTC

Well, to become a conservative you also can do it by reading history

2019-05-04 00:46:08 UTC

And not the "Revised" bullshit they try to push over now

2019-05-04 02:16:05 UTC

That's why more women are leftist

2019-05-05 05:11:01 UTC

Helicopters are self aware now

inb4 franco-austrian empire removes kebbb

2019-05-09 08:50:58 UTC

Mmm Italy will get help

2019-05-09 08:55:57 UTC

Italy has the scions of Mussolini.

2019-05-09 08:56:05 UTC

his own flesh and blood.

2019-05-09 08:56:25 UTC

just as long as they don't try to repeat the restoration of Rome, they'll do fine.

2019-05-09 08:56:55 UTC

Well last time, we almost throwed all the italian army into the sea

2019-05-09 08:57:15 UTC

fucking hitler ruined everything though ๐Ÿ˜ฆ

2019-05-09 09:03:01 UTC

at the time, I see a lot of paralels of my own country with Italy.
Both were primarily agrarian countries for example

2019-05-09 09:03:31 UTC

and as default, such countries are incapable of waging proper war.

2019-05-09 09:03:37 UTC

We are agrarian too

2019-05-09 09:04:18 UTC

the socialists though have devalued our trades sadly though, we are capable to make everything but they import everything and add massive taxes to our agricultural

2019-05-09 09:04:42 UTC

and another flaw with Mussolinis neo-Rome idea was the emergence of the nation state idea, people telling imperialists to fuck off and developing countries based on a single ethnos.

2019-05-09 09:05:10 UTC

The thing with Mussolini is, that he didn't won the people over but forced himself on power

2019-05-09 09:05:18 UTC

half his lime was in socialistic movements

2019-05-09 09:05:39 UTC

If hitler wouldn't fuck us over with the bulgarians we would have hanged that bastard in Rome

2019-05-09 09:05:41 UTC

Juzef Pilsudski had an idea to remake the Litvo-Polak commonwealth into a federal state.

2019-05-09 09:06:34 UTC

Benito should've focused on strenghtening Italy as a whole, flipping off the rest, and giving the roman reconquest a permanent shelving.

2019-05-09 09:07:05 UTC

And allow Mori to do his fucking thing in exterminating mafia.

2019-05-09 09:07:21 UTC

Well, we wanted to stay neutral up to the point Mussolini send an ultimatum and destroyed one of our ships in a holiday

2019-05-09 09:08:10 UTC

We don't have problem with italians but they have backstabbed us a lot in the past, and if the war was only between us rome would have burned that time

2019-05-09 09:08:11 UTC

from the little bits I know, Italy's failed attempt at subjugating Greece was basically it's afghanistan.

2019-05-09 09:08:27 UTC

We conquered all the albania when the war fired up

2019-05-09 09:08:41 UTC

almost throwed all the italian army in the sea

2019-05-09 09:08:54 UTC

we don't even had a mechanized army yet

2019-05-09 09:10:02 UTC

It was pretty much jackasses with rifles who knew their land like their hands. And also, italian generals insisted on using obsolete tactics.

2019-05-09 09:10:13 UTC

that's the TL;DR version

2019-05-09 09:10:47 UTC

and the thing is about such warfare, without keen cooperation it is impossible for the invader to win.

2019-05-09 09:11:15 UTC

Greek army wasn't jackasses though

2019-05-09 09:11:47 UTC

I meant that in a good way.

2019-05-09 09:11:56 UTC

Their orders were clear and sound, Don't leave the line not even for an inch. Everyone fought like their last days because they knew what would happen if the enemy reached Greece

2019-05-09 09:12:20 UTC

Kinda like finns in that regard.

2019-05-09 09:12:31 UTC

although those dudes are a whole other league of brave.
