Biblical Archaeology Society: Special The school of biblical criticism that developed in Germany beginning in the second half of the 19th century, of which Julius Wellhausen was a leading figure, challenged the historicity of the Bible stories and claimed that biblical historiography was formulated, and in large measure actually 'invented', during the Babylonian exile. Biblical scholars suggested a quarter of a century ago that the conquest stories be viewed as etiological legends and no more. The archaeological findings blatantly contradict the biblical picture: the Canaanite cities were not 'great,' were not fortified and did not have 'sky-high walls.' The heroism of the conquerors, the few versus the many and the assistance of the God who fought for his people are a theological reconstruction lacking any factual basis. individual.utoronto.ca /mfkolarcik/jesuit/herzog.html   (3095 words)

Creation Science FAQ Consequently, this somewhat arbitrary figure is not used by those working in molecular homology (other parameters, derived from the shape of the 'melting' curve, are used). The Biblical account of Genesis which is common to Jewish, Christian, Muslim, and other faiths supplies more specifics to the creation model such as the timetable of creation events and insights into the creator. Biblical studies are not appropriate for public school science classes because they require teachers to be competant Bible scholars. mysite.verizon.net /vzephl0d   (13980 words)

The Biblical View of Death   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26) We could translate "therefore all have died" as "therefore all are counted to have died." None of the literal or figurative uses of the Hebrew muth or of the Greek apothanein suggests that the "soul" or "spirit" survives the death of an individual. To argue for the conscious existence of the soul on the basis of figurative meaning of death is to attribute to the word a meaning which is foreign to it. The Biblical meaning of the "sleep" metaphor cannot be decided on the basis of its use in the intertestamental literature, because, as we have seen, during that period, Hellenistic Jews tried to harmonize the teachings of the Old Testament with the Greek dualistic philosophy of their time. www2.andrews.edu /~samuele/books/immortality_resurrection/4.htm   (12459 words)

Is Birth Control Biblical What about the biblical ethics of ignoring over 1900 years of Church history, and arbitrarily deciding that we have the right to prevent the natural cycle of birth, without one single verse of scripture which clearly supports such a change. They are by biblical definition, men and women who think that what seems right in their own eyes is prudent and wise, and that we should decide for ourselves, rather than follow what is written. Therefore according to law, Er's brother Onan is commanded by Judah (their father) to have intercourse with Tamar to raise up children for his brother's house. members.aol.com /twarren20/birth_control.html   (10846 words)

Biblical Christianity: April 2005 If a man cannot figure out that homosexuality is contrary to nature (Romans 1:26-27), and if he does not care that it is contrary to God's will (1 Corinthians 6:9, 1 Timothy 1:10), then we know from the outset that his moral compass is tragically out of whack. A Biblical Christian can be glad for the man's opposition of Communism and his championing of the value of the lives of the unborn and the handicapped. Object to Roman Catholic dogma on Biblical grounds, and you're immediately a "Roman Catholic basher," or an "anti-Roman Catholic bigot," or of course a "hater." Even when one directly quotes Roman Catholic authorities, if one is compelled Biblically to disagree, one is invariably told he just does not understand Rome's position. bibchr.blogspot.com /2005_04_01_bibchr_archive.html   (4223 words)

Biblical Errancy   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26) In their determination they have been forced to rely upon an exceedingly weak section stating that if two men are fighting and one injures a pregnant woman in the process, he shall repay her according to the degree of injury inflicted on her, not the foetus. In February issue of BE you mentioned that biblicists would rather concentrate on NT figures because of the inherent sadism of the principle figures of the OT. What probably happened was that someone wrote a note on a margin of a manuscript, indicating the exact spot in the text he was referring to; much later the next copyist, not having other manusripts to compare it to, thought it was part of the text, and copied it that way. members.aol.com /ckbloomfld/bepart15.html   (14955 words)

Onan - Art History Online Reference and Guide After his older brother Er died Onan was to marry Er's widow Tamar (this was the practice of levirate marriage). Most modern Biblical scholars, however, say that Onan's sin was to violate the rules of levirate marriage, the Biblical law which states that a childless widow must marry her late husband's brother. It is possible to reconcile the two readings by holding that the biblical writer thought that the act of coitus interruptus was wrong and the goal of violation of the levirate law was also wrong. www.arthistoryclub.com /art_history/Onan   (490 words)

The Biblical Data On Polygamy - Chapter Two   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26) The pronouncement of Isaac's birth made it clear that Abraham had erred in regard to the exact and miraculous nature of the promise, and it is this point which the New Testament expands when it contrasts the son of promise, Isaac, with the natural son, Ishmael (Gal. As relates to the actual Biblical instances of the levirate, the few cases that are recorded may or may not have individually been polygamous; however, these cases are included within the citation of polygamous texts since evidence suggests that the levirate institution was necessarily intertwined with polygamy. The Biblical cases of levirate were thusly surveyed to ascertain God's attitude and actions with regard to levirate marriage and these were seen as reflective of His attitude toward the mandated polygamy produced by the levirate law and custom. www.polygamy.net /Biblical-Data/Chapter-Two.htm   (20044 words)

Biblical Research Institute - The "Rapture" Doctrine [III] The Concordant team also claim that "the late A.E. Knoch was painfully aware of his shortcomings" and therefore "sought to emphasise the necessity of shielding himself against his personal views, his inherited tendencies and traditional errors." It is very clear from their own writings that the disciples of great religious figures sometimes wear rose-coloured glasses when evaluating the work and contribution made by their hero to humanity. Indeed, after some time passes and the historical figure tends to become more legend than authentic memory permits, the religious icon is invariably elevated almost to a level of Godhead. www.biblicalresearchinstitute.com /rapture_3.html   (960 words)

Biblical Horizons : CH: Biblical Chronology Newsletter No. 6_07   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26) Genesis 38 tells us about Judah's sons and grandsons, and if we try to get these events into the time before the descent of the Hebrews into Goshen, it is very difficult to do so. Exodus 6 adds further confirmation, telling us that Amram was the son of Kohath, Levi's son, and that "Amram took to him to wife his father's sister Jochebed," again affirming that Jochebed was Levi's actual daughter (Ex.

sffworld.com - Biblical Israel versus Middle-earth I figure that they must live very sheltered lives; scary that they seem to be so powerful at present.

CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Israel The Israelites belong to the group of ancient peoples who are designated under the general name of Semites, and whose countries extended from the Mediterranean Sea to the other side of the Euphrates and Tigris, and from the mountains of Armenia to the southern coast of Arabia. According to the Biblical classification of the descendants of Noe (Genesis 10), it is clear that the semitic group included the Arabs, Babylonians, Assyrians, Arameans, and Hebrews, to which peoples modern ethnographers add, chiefly on linguistic grounds, the Phoenicians and Chanaaneans. It thus appears that the Israelites of old claimed actual kinship with some of the most powerful nations of the East, although the nearness or remoteness of this kinship cannot be determined at the present day. www.newadvent.org /cathen/08193a.htm   (6992 words)

sciforums.com - Biblical Contradiction... Or seeing God face to face is just a biblical expression not to be taken literally (it's a never-ending source of amazement to me how Christians always just know when to take something literally and when not to). I have seen one explanation say that "heaven" in 2 Kings 2:11 refers to the atmosphere of sky while the "heaven" Jesus referred to is the abode of God. The accounts are different because “Hebrew Genealogies tend to focus on the heroes or notables (famous as well as infamous) within a family line. www.sciforums.com /showthread.php?t=2533   (9391 words)

THE BIBLICAL HISTORY OF CREATION It has been said that those who fail to understand and heed the lessons of history are doomed to repeat the errors. These writings are perhaps 99 % biblical, but of times reek of the mixture of Pharisee leaven (perhaps in advertently) added to the bread of Life. The root word is Strong's # 6117aqab (aw-kab'); a primitive root; properly, to swell out or up; used only as denominative from 6119, to seize by the heel; figuratively, to circumvent (asif tripping up the heels); also to restrain (as if holding by the heel):KJV-- take by the heel, stay, supplant, X utterly. www.stargods.org /Creation.html   (8697 words)

IS IT BIBLICAL This figure, borrowed from the interior cavity of the rock, from which the waters must have sprung forth, is applied first to Christ Himself and then to the man whose thirst Christ has quenched and whom He fills with His presence and grace.
