Maybe doomsday is near

There is no record of this event written that we know of until about 500 years after it allegedly happened. In fact it did not: it was constructed backwards from an increasingly falsified oral tradition over the course of several centuries, during which time the legend that they were God’s “Chosen People” became increasingly necessary to their tribal identity, and so the myth became more and more extravagantly embellished. The Aztecs and several other tribes have similar myths; it’s not unique and it doesn’t prove anything.

Really? And you know this . . . how? I trust you have all sorts of irrefutable proofs for this conclusion. Or are you simply an unthinking secularist parrot who repeats the theories created out of whole cloth in the nineteenth century by German theologians? What was it based on? Was there any external evidence for these "critical" theories or were they mere flights of imagination?

Have you ever even studied any of this, or are you afraid to?

Thus saith Strauss and Wellhausen and Gunkel and Bultmann! Huzzah! Wow, that sure proves everything, doesn't it?

Yes it does because, unlike the Aztecs and every other people who have ever lived, Israel experienced a genuine national revelation. Some three million people were eye- and ear-witnesses to the event before a Bible was ever written, and that memory has been passed down for 23 centuries. Even if there were no Bible that memory would be there. No other people have ever experienced such a thing. All other religions are either mythological or else founded by people!!!

This article explains clearly exactly why the historic nature of the Revelation at Sinai is not a myth and cannot be denied. Bet you're afraid to read it! But that's not my fault.
