I would say most things past Exodus.

Do you think Moses really existed?

It should be established people in the path weren't as concerned with literal facts so much as conveying a truth to the audience. This being said i'd say the events in the New Testament are factual as well Maccabees (albeit a from a Jewish perspective).

nothing
its layers upon layers of ancient Jewish memes

All of it.

What do I believe?

Grow up and come to Jesus.

grown ups dont believe fairy tales

>Crappy music
I wasted an ad on this.

>All of it
why would you discredit yourself on purpose?

*tips fedora* fucking fedoras

You wanna fight, kid?

yet grown ups like you believe in evolution.

>evolution doesn't happen on a daily basis

All of it that touches on history is true.

Oh, and facts don't care about your feelings, so if you feel the bible cannot be right, just feel it, and move on.

People with triple digit IQs don't call the bible "fairy tales".

Really? I still thought cats gave birth to kittens, and dogs gave birth to puppies.

That's changed?

evolution doesn't work how you probably think it works

This. Very few people were actually interested in a 100% literal account of history back then. For example if you wanted to write a story about a guys life and he was considered a very strong and courageous person you might write a story about him fighting a Lion with his bare hands. The fact he never actually fought a lion was irrelevant to them, the point they wanted to get across was this was a strong and courageous guy and the story of him fighting a lion is how they tell their audience that.

none of it
it merely aligns with archeological evidence in some cases

i don't think people like you with two digit IQs should be speaking for people with three digit IQs

Huh.

But at some time, dogs gave birth to kittens, and cats gave birth to puppies?

>Expecting a Christfag to ever study enough to know how darwinism works to accurately refute it

lol if they did that they wouldn't be running into issues with fedoras pouring over their scripture and driving a stake through every plothole in the rag

atheists don't care about reading christfag works to refute them, christfags consider themselves too good to read evolutionary biology and thus they end up coaxing themselves into eternal snafus where everyone who does know just laughs at them all day

Your mom gave birth to my seed after I planted it in her nine months before your first birthday

Hear, hear!

Now sit down and I'll tell you the story of Moses and the Three Bears.

The first birthday happens at 1 years old.

All alone...

Leviticus
Deuteronomy

Snatch a piece of my wondering
This did fall like under in
Skid em with two lights
Skid em with boot light
Fly in my soup like
Where's the waitress
Can't take this really can't finish this
These airs and all these graces
It's my mistake I'll make it
J'd up to the boom now make it
Bounce wiggle bounce wiggle shaking all them things out
Chemical cutthroats 'bout to blow the brain out
Cut to the brain
This ain't no game
I'll show no shame
I'll birth this bane
I'll twist the game
I'll twist the game
I'll push this plane
It's plain as day
Known to what these sayers say
Known to what these doers do
It's you and who and you know where
We's about to take it there
We's about to make it clear
We're happy and we lonesome
The lone drum the beat hot
From start to finish
Ten spoons of spinach
The soul and the spillage
The cup that runneth over
We turn up the 'oh God'

All alone...

Close your eyes and see
When there ain't no light
All you'll ever be
Come and save the night
Coz I don't leave
When the morning comes it doesn't
Seem to say an awful lot to me...

All alone...

did they fug

There's really too much difficulty in the phrase "historical fact" to really state any of the bible as such

Did you fail Biology in High School?

Have you even been to High School yet?

I'll not only say all, but I'll say all that will ever be found. See, smart archaeologists are digging at sites where the bible says there's something there. And they're finding it.

You're probably too young to remember, but the bible was sneered at for saying there was a Hittite empire.

Until someone took a bible and dug where the bible said the Hittite empire was, and found it.

Same way with the guy who found Noah's ark. Same way with the guy who found the Al Aqaba crossing. Same way with the guy who found Jericho. Same way with the guy who found wartime cisterns in Jerusalem big enough for a man to pass through.

All of those things were "proof" the bible was wrong, until all of those things were found using the bible as an information and reference point.

So while the bible does not contain all of the truth in the universe, what the bible does contain is all true.

They actually do, lol

>Jericho
funny that you mention that. Jericho has been settled almost continuously since 3000 years before you believe the earth was created. guess when one of the few times it wasn't settled was? When Joshua supposedly knocked down its walls,

>but the bible was sneered at for saying there was a Hittite empire.

no it wasn't you retard stop pulling up "facts" from your local blogspot

>You're probably too young to remember, but the bible was sneered at for saying there was a Hittite empire.
The bible doesn't mention the Hittite empire, it mentions an ethnic group living in Canaan called the Hittites, one being Uriah, a soldier under King David. Ironically the existence of the Hittite empire actually reflects a historical error in the bible, since during the conquest of Canaan and some of the period in Judges happen when Egypt ruled over Canaan, and the Hittites over Syria. Joshua and Judges make absolutely no sense in light of this.

Why do young-earth creationists act so loud and obnoxious about evolution when they have no idea how it works?

>Genesis to liberation of the Jews from Assyrian yoke
Folk Stories & Jewish Revenge porn.
>Post Liberation up until Letters of Paul
Historical fact.

Just consider the fact that contemporary states and civilizations have never heard of this big Hebrew empire being spoken about in the Old Testament.

No but the flood happened so that lends validity to certain events in the bible having happened.

...

Last eve I passed beside a blacksmith’s door
And heard the anvil ring the vesper chime;
When looking in, I saw upon the floor,
Old hammers worn with beating years of time.

“How many anvils have you had,” said I,
“To wear and batter these hammers so?”
“Just one,” said he; then with a twinkling eye,
“The anvil wears the hammers out, you know.”

And so, I thought, the anvil of God’s Word,
For ages, skeptics blows have beat upon;
Yet, though the noise of falling blows was heard,
The anvil is unharmed—the hammers gone.

Well the Fall has to be true from a Christian perspective, because Christ comes specifically to correct the Original Sin of Adam.

Kek.

This is a religion that literally glorifies faith.

The first anniversary of a birthday happens at 1. A birthday only happens once.

Very little of the Old Testament is historical, with the major exception of the Great Flood. It's largely meant to be allegorical.
The New Testament is largely historical, with the exception of the miracles and also Revelation.

>birth day

dude what the fuck

>It's largely meant to be allegorical.

This isn't true. It's intended to be historical and the New Testament treats it as historical as well. Song of Solomon is allegorical, though.

>with the exception of the miracles

the fuck you say

>Same way with the guy who found Noah's ark
My fucking sides

>with the exception of the miracles

Do Christians really believe a human being that they could see with their own eyes and shake his hand if he were alive today actually performed honest to god miracles?

Are they just the dumbest people or what?

Are you new to religions or something?

No shit, user.

It's all real.

Not at all, it's just amazing how it gets dumber the more you think about it

>Miracles can't be real because I've never seen one!
Closed minded little atheist

...

Yes, God incarnate was capable of performing miracles. Amazing, isn't it?

Some historical events shown and documented, others exaggerated or made up to convey metaphors.


Even when I was Christian I didn't believe the story of Adam and Eve at face value, rather as just a story to convey a message.

The Fall is treated as a literal occurrence in the New Testament.

I don't get people like you, honestly. It's clearly meant to be literal, but you don't want it to be. Why don't you just say that you don't believe it, rather than try to twist it?

>dogs gave birth to kittens, and cats gave birth to puppies
this is literally and unironically what YEC think evolution means
