it is doubtful that mankind will ever be able to find outside Biblical references.
I don't have the time tonight for a big reply. You are very wrong Seeker of Truth, with the above statement. There are more outside references to the OT
than I would say most in this forum even know about.
I can get into that more if you like when I get the time.
I suggest one thing is that you read some of my posts in this thread.
It seem to me you either ignore what I write, disagree with what I write, don't understand what I write because I am unclear, or ....?
I suggest you read John first, but thats really James Robinsons and others advice.
Your right read the NT first as you need to filter the OT through a good understanding of Jesus.
The Bible was written by man , by men inspired by God, men who had the holy spirit within them. Its not a letter by letter by God. Translations don't seem to have enough inspiration at times.
Women do have a seed as far as they have an egg. What the difference between fertilized "egg" of a plant which called a seed, a fruit with the "egg" inside , or an animal who eggs become fertilized to produce new life.
Now with Jesus, God the father somehow took the place of the Male part in the reproduction.
As far as Exodus goes, I would say learn and understand the 10 Commandments.
Noah's story really I believe needs a better understanding of the Hebrew.
Till Later
