I think its great that this is the possible location of Sodom.
I have always thought that there is usually a kernel of truth in ancient tales (See Schliemann and Troy)
As many commented here this could have been an epic cataclysmic event which was later explained through a moral cautionary tale.
Now the question is: Where is the twin city Gomorrah?
I hope they find it soon...
thank you all for your sincere encouragement during these last few weeks.
finally, she is at peace.
i was with her , holding her hand when she died.
hi all, any thoughts on the ridley scott film exodus :gods and kings my people?
generally, its more or less as i would envision it.. love the representation of gods spirit/angel as a child of ?10 - great age, they have not lost their innocence but are aware of the dark side of life, question everything are bitingly honest in their assesments and you can often have surprisingly adult conversations with them.
of course in all this they are often very very funny(i may be biased as my kids are this age!!!).
Ridley Scott's Exodus - meh... so so...too much creative license. Its an interesting story but it contorts it too much. The movie doesn't feel like the Biblical Exodus.
The kid as God/Angel/Whatever was pretty well done. Interesting take.
Simon, I like Bible films as well:
My top five are:
The Passion of the Christ (Although the Film made Mel Gibson a Jew hating bigot)
Quo Vadis (1951)
The Ten commandments (Charlton Heston as Moses was pretty cool)
Jesus of Nazareth (1977 Mini series)
Year One (Its silly and stupid I know but the scenes with Adam (Harold Ramis), Cain, Abel, Seth and the Witch Doctor (Bill Hader) are pretty funny)
so now that most of us have come to a semi truthful understanding that the witnesses are wrong about evolutionist, there is a certain question that i have always had.
now if you were to ask any jw, they'd recite a complete fallacy from scientist regarding this.
but what is you guys input of this.
One_day,
If religion has disappointed you, science will too. Unfortunately it has promoted itself as honest disciplined searchers of truth.
No no nonoononononono One_day
Let me illustrate the difference between Science and Religion:
remembering the furore at the time when this was released i thought i'd share this which appeared in my news feed the other day.... .

from the book 'creative mischief' by dave trott.
In 2010 George W. Bush published his book 'Decision Points'.
While I was at the local bookstore, I very quietly moved all of the copies of the book to the fantasy section.
recently shared this with me.. they compared the tiredness they felt after attending an assembly and meetings, and noted how much worse it was than actually working and studying hard for hours for their secular employment!
why were they so exhausted after an assembly/meeting?
no, it wasn't satan.
has anybody read this book?.

it is story of a man who worked for amway.
Will read the book and report back.
Amway people are crazy. They can only talk about Amway.
Love their Glister toothpaste (tm) smiles though.
in this video the popular saudi cleric sheik yahya al-jana discusses the joys of paradise, saying that men will have the strength of a hundred men in paradise and will be busy tearing hymens, while the virgins of paradise, whose breasts are like pomegranates, become virgins every time again.. the cleric also explains it is mostly men who enter paradise noting that women in general are bad because they refuse to wear the veil, they wear tight clothes in shopping malls, put on perfume and jewelry, and use filthy social media platforms.
source.... this is what young men from conservative muslim families are raised on.
is it any wonder islamic countries treat women appallingly?.
