What I was saying is that it’s remarkable that someone like Finkelstein would even hint at it being that Balak at all.

"What does it say?"

It is simply the chiseled lyrics to this very old song...

The “experts” once denounced the historicity of The Bible because The Hittite Empire was clearly a myth.

Oops...

[northislander]

That was my point...Bible continues to affirm and correct classic historical records.

No![/sarcasm]

[Zionist Conspirator]

the question of historicity in the Bible cannot be answered in a simplistic ‘yes’ or ‘no’ answer.”

Ugh. The "ancient and unchanging" church, ladies and gentlemen!

I bet you accept the historicity of the "new testament" and all the miracle stories of the saints, though. It's just the Hebrew Bible you want to turn into a fairy tale.

The post was meant to be sarcastic about just that.

The original English Bible has been affirming updating and correcting classical studies for centuries not a single proven error in the biblical record found in the books of the Kings and Chronicles... this whole conversation of oh look something in the biblical record turned out to be true is utter nonsense... fables in the minds of homos
