how much of it is allegorical?

Like even the more obscure details like king Uzziah have been uncovered

A good portion, but not most

idk

the flood, creation, exodus, ect

i had more written down somewhere

The flood and creation are allegorical

I don't think there is any evidence to suggest the exodus was

well they havent found any evidence that the Hebrews were enslaved in Israel

the Egyptians never mention any of the plagues

I guess the tower of Babylon was not real either

Yes they do mention the plagues actually

or sodom and Gomorrah

no they don't

Let me get the thing rq

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ipuwer_Papyrus the Ipuwer Papyrus is debated as evidence, but otherwise historians regard information about it as unrecoverable bc of the age and time period.

did you read the bottom part

Did you read my qualifier?

o

now i did

Exodus is exaggerated at the least

The numbers talked about would mean some are still in Egypt when the front of the pack reaches Israel

Also, notice how much more active god is in the OT

Why would he just... quit

It goes from Jesus did this and that to statements of faith alone

And there are dozens and dozens of contradiction and inaccuracies

remember pi = 3?

lol

@Notso can you back that up? That would only be a couple football stadiums worth of people.

And your statement on the activity of God, are you implying the New Testament isn't literally the narrative of a hypostatic God on Earth?

You are twisting Sola fide as well, you seem to have a sola scriptura view as well, all around bad theology

Yeah I just did the math, there would only need to be 5 people every km, that's just a lie from you

Sinai is at greatest dimension 210km wide
Let's look at numbers
46.500 59.300 45.650 74.600 54.400 57.400 40.500 32.200 35.400 62.700 41.500 53.400
If you just look at the thousands that's 46 59 45 74 54 57 40 32 35 62 41 53
That's 598000 let's say 600.000
600000/210 is 2857 people per kilometer

If you're taking area, assuming they're evenly dispersed, it's 10 per square kilometer

But they're not evenly dispersed

Read numbers 1

Numbers 2 gives another number that corroborates this

*all those that were numbered of the camps throughout their hosts were six hundred thousand and three thousand and five hundred and fifty.*

@Notso would you look at that, I used 200000km which is entirely wrong lol. Anyways, it isn't unprecedented for such large numbers to flee a nation. We can look to the 400,000 Tatars who fled Russia in one night, the real question is how wide the group of people was.

Some Christians and Atheists regard it as a translation error, but I'm not sure that holds to scrutiny granted the prevalence of the number 600000
