7starmantis said:Wow, so now I am to assume that the passages I think about or find in my reading are the same ones you are refering to? I'm pretty sure that I know at least a few of the things your refering to (aside from the rape claim you made earlier up) but I didn't think I should put words into your mouth. If its too much work to provide base for your claim, then let it go and move on to another point.
Here, for review, are the Biblical references I've mentioned which have caused such a wailing and gnashing of teeth.
A talking donkey.
Giants.
Unicorns (which we've addressed and for which I've provided once reference).
The slaughter of children by Moses and God.
The timing of Jesus's appearance to the Apostles.
The color of the robe the Romans placed on Jesus following his flogging.
Hares that chew their cud.
Bats that are birds.
The first is the story of Balaam and his donkey, or "***".
Giants are mentioned frequently in the KJV and RSV, and not specifically as metaphors. They're largely excluded from the NIV...no pun intended.
I've given accounts of the slaughter and rapes by Moses and his men of children and women in my post to Ray, without chapter and verse reference. A keyword search will yield them at Biblegateway or the Blue Letter Bible, links to which I've provided. The same keyword search will yield results for giants. Ditto asses and/or donkeys.
Hares chewing their cud are found in the KJV in the Levitical laws, and in Deuteronomy. These are easily found.
Bats are very specfically listed as birds in of Leviticus in the NIV and KJV...also easily accessed.
The color of the robe of Jesus and the timing of his appearance to the Gospels were posted as challenges requiring one to actually research the New Testament. Key word searches there will also expedite the process, if one doesn't prefer to use an actual Bible.
This requires a little homework...not a lot, but a little. One has to research a tad and find specific passages. In discussing the Bible I think it best that such things aren't spoon fed to anyone.
