And why did he ask the sun to stand still ? wasnt he aware that the earth revolves around the sun and not vice versa ? And spins on its Axis ?
If jehovah had listened to Joshua to give the appearnce of the Sun standing still and actually stopped the earth rotating on its Axis ?
Armageddon would be like a picnic in the park .
I am sure Jesus is quite capable of making it look that way. He is sovereign and do as he pleases
After all, in Egypt he had a single angel do all the necessary killing in one night.
Yes, also when an Angel could kill 185,000 Assyrian Soldiers in one night, why does Jah use stones and a global flood to kill people. Seems he likes novel methods to kill people

Sheer Ignorance of Bible Writers. Authentic evidence
that the Bible has nothing to do with a God.

Yup and this is how you know this God of the bible is not a genius. What kind of an idiot, would bring devastation to the planet in order to kill a few million humans, when a handful of the angels (from among gzillions of them sitting around going nothing), could have accomplished that in one night.
The fictional story telling of how powerful " Their" god was is typical to how many ancient civilizations expressed their beliefs and stories of their own gods, in other words its not unusual for that time and era.
We can only marvel at the Sovereign will of God, The slaying of 185,000 enemy soldiers was nothing short of a miracle delievering his undeserving people.
So JoenB75 you accept based from how grandiose the story telling of a god makes it not fictional mythology ?
What about all the other grandiose actions expressed by other ancient civilizations about their own select god(s) , did they factually happened as well ?
Finkelstein,
I put much more emphasis on the new testament, the old testament belongs to a past covenant. But my general approach is that I believe in the power of God to do miracles. I was not there when Moses divided the red sea, but I unless the context tells me it is symbolic, I tend to take it at face value knowing that higher criticism and current scholarship make mistakes too. And yes, I am biased towards the Scriptures
