@ghost-of-a-duke saidWhere’s Jesus Christ’s body? Why could no one find it when the Apostles claimed to have seen Him alive after His crucifixion and death?
Time does degrade the validity of evidence, that's true. Hence there being none for the Ressurection. (You know, the event that happened 2,000 years ago).
There’s plenty of evidence for the Resurrection. Use Google. I’m not wasting my time copy-and-pasting it when you’re not going to read it.
Google, for starters, “15 Logical Reasons to Believe the Resurrection.”

You have convinced me that no ancient evidence can be validated or reasonably expected to exist.
@kellyjay saidSo I’ll ask again:
No
On what basis do you decide which translations are better than others? As you claim.

@ghost-of-a-duke saidYou realize the difference between 2,000 years ago and 3,000+ years ago?
But that was 2,000 years ago.
You have convinced me that no ancient evidence can be validated or reasonably expected to exist.
And you keep saying “no evidence” as though Exodus isn’t evidence when it most assuredly is.

“I read several for that reason; even my favorite verse in the scriptures is translated differently from one translation to another.”
Just another one of your evasive non sequiturs which allows you to dodge the question.
@divegeester saidThat is not the only answer I have given on that topic.

@ghost-of-a-duke saidYou don't think it has history in it; you think it's a way after the fact document made up much later than when those things occurred? The vast number of things written in it were stories about events; you can go there and see the people's represented in it, places named, with a myriad of evidence on several events in place documented in scripture.
Never mind Kelly.

Okay, you struggled with the whole slaves in Egypt thing, so let's try a simple contradiction in scripture. We are told in Matthew 19:26 that, "… with God all things are possible” (which one would expect from an omnipotent deity) and yet in Judges 1:19 we read:
"And the Lord was with Judah; and he drave out the inhabitants of the mountain; but could not drive out the inhabitants of the valley, because they had chariots of iron."
How can this be? If all things are possible for God, why was thwarted by iron chariots?
@kellyjay saidHappy to look at it then if you copy paste it in reply, but I’ve not seen anything from you other than your usual equivocation.
That is not the only answer I have given on that topic.
@divegeester saidGee what a shock

@kellyjay saidNot really, it is generally considered to be your usual MO when you want to dodge.
Gee what a shock
However if I’ve missed you making a concise point I reply then I’ll apologise… just copy paste the particular post of yours which you have in mind. Thanks.

@ghost-of-a-duke saidIron’s pretty heavy, Ghosty. Have you ever tried to move a chariot of iron?

It ain’t easy!
