http://www.goatstar.org A guide from an ex-Christian to Bible errors, Bible contradictions, Bible atrocities, etc... as well as general problems with Christian beliefs Sat, 07 Jan 2012 20:04:50 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 http://www.goatstar.org/bible-contradictions/comment-page-1/#comment-93022 James Tue, 26 Oct 2010 20:19:57 +0000 http://www.goatstar.org/?page_id=11#comment-93022 Also on Acts 7v22 where did the Egyptians get their wisdom? I think they would say their ideas were inspired by the Egyptian Gods Ptah, Amun, Re, Aten etc. Further in Acts 7v38 it says it was "an angel" who spoke to Moses up Mt Sinai instead of God himself as the O.T. says. So you could easily say that Moses had the Hebrews follow the teachings of the Egyptian gods and an angel confirmed that he was doing right. That makes no sense when you consider that the O.T is constantly calling the foreign gods evil. The O.T. misrepresents the other cultures.Then as now there was more in common (in morality)between the countries and cultures of the world than what is different. It is a dangerous human trait to call your neighbour evil. Probably the priest who wrote the O.T. passages in 700 BCE didn't have a written record to 500 years previous so he just made up a history that was warped by his own xenophobia.
