I watched the first video in its entirety and the scholarship shown was very sloppy. First they ask if Imhotep was Joesph and just run with that assumption without any evidence.
Then they show some janky picture of Thutmose II with the only evidence being his Jewish nose. How can I take that scholarship serious?
The developers of that video completely ignored the Egyptian timeline. Then they talked about some random pillars and say the Egyptians erased all the evidence from Moses, again without any evidence. By time it got to the red sea information they had lost so much credibility I couldn't even take that information seriously.
That video was just another desperate attempt to latch onto real Egyptian history. Christians/Hebrews/Jews have nothing to stand on. Their oldest written manuscript is the dead sea scrolls and real scholars don't even take that seriously.
I have yet to find anyone of the Abrahamic faith to have any PRIMARY EVIDENCE of anything in the Bible, Tanakh/Pentateuch, Septuagint, LXX etc. All you have is pseudepigrapha and at the very most 2nd hand information.

The only thing this thread has done for me is reinforce the idea that religion is absolute poison.
Have faith. Read the Bible with an open mind which means you can't be skeptical or think critically. Don't question what the Bible says. Don't do these things for any other religion.
No one ever answered my question.

The faith of a mustard seed
is all it takes
and
God will give you faith
and Truth.
Why don't you try it?

I missed it. What was it? I don't claim to have all the answers, but I'll give your queston a shot.
I have a question for you, though: have you read the Bible? No, no, not some of it; ALL of it.

I anticipated this generic response. I'm not even sure why I asked.
Fixed.

I grew up, increased in knowledge, used logic, and actually studied the Bible (key word: 'study', which is more thorough than 'read').
Honestly, I can't remember. I'm sure over my lifetime, I've read most of the Bible. However, it's kind of pointless to read the Bible in English when you need to understand the languages used at the time and the context.
This was my question

Me and this man may or may not share the same beliefs I definitely believe in an infinite devine force but he said the key words. He grew up. When we're 6 yrs old we think Santa claus is real but eventually as we mature, logic tells us that he's not real. Why does our progress stop as adults we're taking allegory as historical fact.

Anyone can read
and study
the
whole bible
Only reason you think there
is a language problem is
because its not meant
for those who do not
know God
You need the knowledge
of God, the Holy Spirit,
to understand
and thats only through
acceptance and repentance.
Don't think you can fool God
you are only fooling yourself
with half wit repentance.
To answer you
faith and full understanding
of God and his Word
only comes through acceptance
repentance
Religion is blind faith
Like trying to enter a
foreign country
without a visa
or skydiving with
a duck on your back
Knowing God is
Truth

Did you, or anyone else, see Religulous? Good film on religion and the many hypocrisies it presents in human logic.
IE: Humans believing in fairy tales when they are in the Bible but not when they are in any other book. (Like snakes with voice boxes)
But yea, folks are in denial about the influence growing up believing in something has on how you can perceive that very thing.

Haven't seen it. I'll be sure to check it out when I get a chance tho. I never have been content with hand me down beliefs for some reason. My religion is truth. I bend the knee to truth and no other.
