1) God rescued the Israelite slaves from Egypt not just in answer to their cries of despair, but so they could "worship him in the wilderness"--where they established all of the laws, the tabernacle, sacrifices, etc., that would enable them to live with him in their presence. 2) When Solomon built the Temple, God deigned to "live there" although he doesn't require a building created by human hands. Why do you keep perpetrating these lies? 1) The Israelites were never slaves in Egypt. It was a complete fabrication. What they were is slaves of the canaanites as proven by archeology. 2) Solomon was the head of a handful of villages, at best, he never had the means to build a temple, at least not anything that we would call a temple. The mayor of a small town has more means than your "king" Solomon? Besides do you think a real king would waste his time settling disputes between women in a maternity ward (or whatever they had back then to assume that function)? This too has been proven by archeology. |

I know that Shakespeare tells that Henry V would dress as a commoner to mingle with his subjects to learn what they were thinking of him but this is completely unreliable because the minute he'd be recognized he'd risk assassination or abduction for a ransom. No one who's not completely lost his head would try something so foolhardy.
Same thing about Solomon, the only reason why he would settle petty disputes among his people is that he was far from being as big as the bible represents. The truth is that the Israelites have completely rewritten their past, not even by accident through successive distortions but deliberately as a ploy, to appear more prestigious than they were. Of course, the exodus is far more glamorous than what really happened, IE Israelites assassinating their decadent Canaanite masters in their beds and stealing their properties only to create the exact same kind of oligarchy. Ironically, the society they created as an exact copy of the one they replaced, down to the art which is almost identical.

For how many months were you lying in bed stewing about this? It was posted a heck of a long time ago. |
