The top ten lies about the Israel Palestine conflict

I been hearing a lot of lies and spin about Israel for the past few years and I think some of these lies need addressing.

10 Palestinian land was stolen from them from the Jews. Which is a lie. In reality their was no such thing as a Palestine before the British handed things off to the Israeli government. The Palestinian government was started when the muslims in the area did not like the fact that their will be Jews moving in. The U.N. tried to make peace by offering land to the muslims but they refused and got five other Arab countries to attack Israel and Israel decided to keep some land in order to defend themselves. which would of never happen if the Muslims in the area took the offer from the U.N.

9 Israel is an apartheid State another lie. A Apartheid State means : a former social system in South Africa in which black people and people from other racial groups did not have the same political and economic rights as white people and were forced to live separately from white people.  Now if this was indeed the case Israel would not have Arabs working as ambassadors or people of other faiths including atheism Christianity and Muslims representing the people in their government.

8 Palestine is a open air prison.  Another lie. First and foremost if it was a prison than how do people walk in and out of that country? The Fence and wall that was put up to protect Israelis from suicide bombers and snipers. They are not being held against their will and are free to live whenever they want. prison work the opposite way. They are even given aide by the israelis for food shelter at the expense to their own people and their poor.

7 Israel targets children. A lie. Hamas hides in schools hospitals and in public areas all around Palestine. Like recently in a U.N. school in Gaza.

6 Hamas cannot set up rockets anywhere else but in cities because they are fenced in. a lie. In fact using Google maps you can clearly see that their are plenty of empty remote spaces Where that can easily set up rockets fire them and hide them. The only reason why the set up in cities is to cause as much casualties as possible. 

5 Israel never tries to talk peace. This cease fire this weekend has been one of five in the past few years and every time has been broken by Hamas. They also come over and kill Israeli civilians in acts of terror.

4 Hamas is not a terrorist organization but freedom fighters. Freedom for who? They stone Homosexuals in the street or anyone that dares speaks up. They want to wipe all Jews off the face of the earth and treat their women as second class citizens. They will kill anyone that does business with Israelis. Some people even claim they are no different than the founding father's of the United States which all of them would have seen these acts as pure evil and even thought this very evil when Jefferson was elected President. Which is called the first Barbary War.

3 Israel is no better than Hitler and the Nazi. What a huge lie. If they where like the Nazis they would be marching into Gaza and the countries around them taking all the Muslims shoving them in boxcars and sending them to camps. Where they would be starved to death. Now I find people who say this do not know their history for the Nazi did not feed the people they hate. For the Nazi never tried to go out of their way to avoid killing the people they wanted to kill. To say this is a spit in the face to anyone that lived through that hell in Nazi controlled Europe.

2 All the casualties were cased by Israelis. Not true 100 rockets that where fired from Palestine never made it over the broader. Whether by bad aiming or intentual aiming. Hamas also does not let their people run from incoming fire.

1 Israel is more blood thirsty. Again a lie. Israel has been showing a lot of restraint though the entire time they where their. The fact is the Palestinians celebrate when ever Israel or someone in the West was killed in the name of Allah look at the celebrations of 9/11 as proof of this. Also recently they where dragging dead bodies of Israeli troops in the street.

Warriors of Christ

 We must be Warriors of Christ. Defenders of his word. So what I am going to talk about today is the armor of God and how we need to put it this on everyday.
Ephesians 6:10-20

Our enemies are well laid out in 10-13
10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. 11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age,[a] against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. 13 Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

Our enemy is not of this earth. They are not countries parties or even people because all three serve one of the two beings Satan or Christ. What good will it do if you just hold anger to one of of these three things when Satan is in power and how do you fight Satan. With the Armor of God is the only way to do this.

14 Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness.

Without truth by your side no one will take you word. No one will believe in your message if you lie all the time. That is why no matter what tell the truth and stand up for the truth. Even if it means you stand alone. Righteousness cannot be earned by ourselves because we are screw ups so this is a call to come to Christ when ever you sin to be made clean again.

15 and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
Always come in peace even if your enemy means harm. Never go in to do battle with fists but with kind words and a open heart.

16 above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one.

Without faith you are an easy target from our true enemy Satan. Without a shield to defend yourself from the lies of the earth. You will bend to the will of the world instead of Christ our true king and the one we must serve. 

17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; 
If you do not have have knowledge of the Word of God than you will know not know how to combat lies or mis information. See My article on Bart Ehrman to see an example of what is out their.

18 praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints— 19 and for me, that utterance may be given to me, that I may open my mouth boldly to make known the mystery of the gospel, 20 for which I am an ambassador in chains; that in it I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.

And remember we are Christ ambassadors and as ambassadors we need the full Armor of God and put it on everyday for........

I am a misfit of the world.

 This is for all of my fellow brothers and sisters in Christ. I been hearing for some time that the worldviews people who are not the norm as Misfits. Well I am one of these very misfits. Why because the world turns on people like me. The Christ follower who is a 27 year old virgin just waiting for the right woman to come into my life. To the rest of the world I am an alien a freak or something must be clearly wrong with me and may snap sometime. The truth is it is the world that lost it's mind not me. I am a misfit for doing right to myself and others by waiting. I am even hated by the world. Jesus puts it best in John 15:18-25. The world will mock me for not being a slave of it and being the slave to the one that bore the cross. I know I will be mocked and ridiculed for not being a so called man but I could care less.

I follow God and get mock for believing their is a God. Should we hate the mockers? No! for they do not really know any better and people who are sitting on the fence between God and the world that will see our actions and if we go in like the people who mock us than they will see us as no better. (A lesson I myself need to learn) Even the prostitute can be redeemed in God's eyes. All they have to do is turn their backs on their old lives and pick up the cross. So if you know anyone or see anyone that lives a hopeless life of running after worldly things show them that the love of God. They crave to know something better than the life they live of emptiness and we can give them what they need. So be a misfit and have others join us misfits for it is better to be hated by this world than to be kings of this world.

Is there really contradictions in the Bible my thoughts on Bart Ehrman.

I been hearing a lot from mainstream scholars and theologians that the Bible cannot be trusted that their are more contradictions in the Bible than any other book written in history. Are they right or are they not? I believe they are not and seeing how most of these claims come from atheist I also I have to question the sincerity of their claims so I am going to write about the top ten I ran into this week alone and disprove each claim.

10 the Claim the the gospels Mark and Matthew do not match up on Jesus' death. The fact that Jesus talks in Matthew's account and does not say much in Mark. There's a reason for this first off Mark was not at his death to begin with. Many of his followers where hiding out only one was their and Mark was not a follower of his at the time. Second point I would like to make the book of Mark was written to the Romans and that is why it is so short because it was written like small hand book. Not only putting his teachings in a way Romans understand but also trying to get the important parts of his life and to show Jesus suffered for them.

9 is from a doctor by the name Bart Ehrman. the next ones will be about him.
“In terms of the historical record, I should also point out that there is no account in any ancient source whatsoever about King Herod slaughtering children in or around Bethlehem, or anyplace else. No other author, biblical or otherwise, mentions this event. Is it, like John's account of Jesus' death, a detail made up by Matthew in order to make some kind of theological point?” 
― Bart D. Ehrman

Now while true that their is no account of this occurring does not really mean much. Many things could of happen to documents or the bones maybe gone by now but what he does ingore is the pure evil of King Herod which proves he was capable of such a thing. Not only did he murder all most all of his sons but he murder his wife. He was also known to be paranoid. I mean if you have three wise men coming into his home and saying their is a new king. What will a paranoid going to do to all the children in that town.

8 the next claim I like to shoot down of his.

“In Matthew, Jesus declares, “Whoever is not with me is against me.” In Mark, he says,“Whoever is not against us is for us.” Did he say both things? Could he
mean both things? How can both be true at once? Or is it possible that
one of the Gospel writers got things switched around?” 

Jesus was talking about two different groups of people. When he said Whoever is not with me is against me it was in Luke 11:14-23 He was talking about people who stood against him. Like the false teachers. Here he was talking about an angry brust most likely from a pharisee. Which I do not need to mention him and those guys really did not get along all to well. Luke 9:49-50 Now here he is telling his disciples that look use your heads if these guys are using my name to heal than they are of God for only people with my father can do these things. Two different times in his life. Years apart but yet the claim that somehow this is a contradiction is still asked after he made this claim to this day. 

7 The next claim he makes.

“It is because in John’s Gospel we are not hearing two voices—the voice of Jesus and the voice of the narrator. We are hearing one voice. The author is speaking for himself and he is speaking for Jesus. These are not Jesus’s words; they are John’s words placed on Jesus’s lips.” 
― Bart D. Ehrman

John was one of the 12 so I do not know why he thinks he would not know Jesus and what he teached. I mean that is like saying someone sitting in his class taking notes on his words is really writing his own thoughts and their for Mr. Ehrman did not say any of that.

6 “It will become clear in the following chapters that Jesus was not originally considered to be God in any sense at all, and that he eventually became divine for his followers in some sense before he came to be thought of as equal with God Almighty in an absolute sense. But the point I stress is that this was, in fact, a development.” 

― Bart D. Ehrman,

Now this is simply not true. Peter says it out loud in Matthew 16:13-20

5 “I should point out that the Gospels do not indicate on which day Jesus was raised. The women go to the tomb on the third day, and they find it empty. But none of the Gospels indicates that Jesus arose that morning before the women showed up. He could just as well have arisen the day before or even the day before that—just an hour, say, after he had been buried. The Gospels simply don’t say.” 
― Bart D. Ehrman

That is because know one was in the tomb but Jesus himself said over and over again that I will die and be raised on the third day. Mark 9:31

4“If all this sounds familiar to Christian readers, it should. This man—here, the emperor—is a god whose birthday is to be celebrated because it brought “good tidings” to the world; he is the greatest benefactor of humans, surpassing all others, and is to be considered a “savior.” Jesus was not the only “savior-God” known to the ancient world.” 
― Bart D. Ehrman

Jesus said he was. John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

3“But only two people known by name were also called “Son of God.” One was the Roman emperor—starting with Octavian, or Caesar Augustus—and the other was Jesus. This is probably not an accident. When Jesus came on the scene as a divine man, he and the emperor were in competition.” 
― Bart D. Ehrman

But one claim to be the Son of Yahweh and the other Jupiter. One was a fake god that does not have to do with the other. while yes they where competing in a sense but to compare the to is rather dishonest.

2  “The historical problems with Luke are even more pronounced. For one thing, we have relatively good records for the reign of Caesar Augustus, and there is no mention anywhere in any of them of an empire-wide census for which everyone had to register by returning to their ancestral home. And how could such a thing even be imagined? Joesph returns to Bethlehem because his ancestor David was born there. But David lived a thousand years before Joseph. Are we to imagine that everyone in the Roman Empire was required to return to the homes of their ancestors from a thousand years earlier? If we had a new worldwide census today and each of us had to return to the towns of our ancestors a thousand years back—where would you go? Can you imagine the total disruption of human life that this kind of universal exodus would require? And can you imagine that such a project would never be mentioned in any of the newspapers? There is not a single reference to any such census in any ancient source, apart from Luke. Why then does Luke say there was such a census? The answer may seem obvious to you. He wanted Jesus to be born in Bethlehem, even though he knew he came from Nazareth ... there is a prophecy in the Old Testament book of Micah that a savior would come from Bethlehem. What were these Gospel writer to do with the fact that it was widely known that Jesus came from Nazareth? They had to come up with a narrative that explained how he came from Nazareth, in Galilee, a little one-horse town that no one had ever heard of, but was born in Bethlehem, the home of King David, royal ancestor of the Messiah.” 
― Bart D. Ehrman, 

but their is proof that it did happen and the Historian  Josephus Proved it to be true. They called it the Census of Quirinius

1 I will just leave this battle with one of his quote and I think he is really talking about himself here because it is very clear to me that Bart Ehrman wants to believe so badly that the Bible is not provable that he wants to grasp at straws. 

“You can’t believe something just because someone else desperately wants you to.” 
― Bart D. Ehrman,

Bonhoeffer on of the word of God.

He was talking to a unbeliever who believe the word of God could not be trusted which was one of his cousin. I could not of said it better myself and I do not know what to add to it. So enjoy.
"First of all I will confess quite simply – I believe that the Bible alone is the answer to all our questions, and that we need only to ask repeatedly and a little humbly, in order to receive this answer. One cannot simply read the Bible, like other books. One must be prepared really to enquire of it. Only thus will it reveal itself. Only if we expect from it the ultimate answer, shall we receive it. That is because in the bible God speaks to us. And one cannot simply think about God in one’s own strength, one has to enquire of him. Only if we seek him, will he answer us. Of course it is also possible to read the Bible like any other book, that is to say from the point of view of textual criticism, etc.; there is nothing to be said against that. Only that that is not the method which will reveal to us the heart of the Bible, but only the surface, just as we do not grasp the words of someone we love by taking them to bits, but by simply receiving them, so that for days they go on lingering in our minds, simply because they are the words of a person we love; and just as these words reveal more and more of the person who said them as we go on, like Mary, “pondering them in our heart,” so it will be with the words of the Bible. Only if we will venture to enter into the words of the Bible, as though in them this God were speaking to us who loves us and does not will to leave us alone with our questions, only so shall we learn to rejoice in the Bible . . . .

If it is I who determine where God is to be found, then I shall always find a God who corresponds to me in some way, who is obliging, who is connected with my own nature. But if God determines where he is to be found, then it will be in a place which is not at all congenial to me. This place is the Cross of Christ. And whoever would find him must go to the foot of the Cross, as the Sermon on the Mount commands. This is not according to our nature at all, it is entirely contrary to it. But this is the message of the Bible, not only in the New but also in the Old Testament . . . .

And I would like to tell you now quite personally: since I have learnt to read the Bible in this way – and this has not been for so very long – it becomes every day more wonderful to me. I read it in the morning and the evening, often during the day as well, and every day I consider a text which I have chosen for the whole week, and try to sink deeply into it, so as really to hear what it is saying. I know that without this I could not live properly any longer."  

Dietrich Bonhoeffer

Noah's Ark and Mega ships

When talking about Noah's Ark many scientist believe that it was impossible for anyone in ancient times to build such a ship but their are many examples in history where ship like this where built all the time. They built these things all the time and even sailed the open sea. Why is it that scientist believe that was possible but Noah's Ark was not. I believe it is simple they want to disprove the Bible while ignoring reality take this ship for an example.

This ship looks similar to a ship called the 40 by some. I was watching the History Channel about this ship and could not find a link to give you more info. But anyways this ship was made by the Egyptians when Greece was still a superpower and owned Egypt. So this thing can carry over 6000 people and took 4000 of those people to move the thing. It can carry more than the most advanced aircraft carrier we have the Ronald Reagan and was even bigger than the Reagan. Not only that it carried weapons rams catapults and troops rumor had it that it could ram a city wall and destroy it.

The Chinese built this ship. Brain child of Zheng He a famous Chinese explorer built this and some historians believe he made it to the east coast of America on this floating city. My point of all of this is that we need to shut out the deniers because ancient mega ships were built and with Zheng He's ship about as big or bigger than the ark. Which proves to me ships like these are not only possible but have been done over and over again these are just to examples of ancient Mega ships.
