...to which I replied with the following....
I believe the trumpets were sometimes a metaphor for trumpeting volcanoes. Volcanoes make a trumpeting noise when they are about to erupt.
Please Outhouse....no need to smack...
poeticnonprofit....please make sure you're comments are relevant to the thread you've chosen unless you want to waste your time.
Outhouse. Do you realise you have used the term 'epic fail' in pretty much every comment you've made? Are you usually this condescending?
How can you possibly say...
So the use of the word volcano is not needed and the use of the term 'Lord of war' doesn't indicate a warrier waving swords but is a metaphor for someone or something believed to be acting AS a Lord of war. Volcanic activity that resulted in the tsunami that killed the Egyptian army would have...
For most of this thread you, Outhouse, denied any link to a volcano so it's nice you now realise there is of course a link. Can you please provide evidence of the claim Yahweh was a warrier god as opposed to a volcanic activity god?

Have you never heard of fraud before??? That is what this is! Fraudulent theft! The Hebrews tricked their employers into handing over the goods and then left unexpectedly. The Egyptians eventually realised the Hebrews had scarpered with the goods and realised their stupidity in trusting them...
How you cannot see the trickery in this I do not know. This is not just theft but fraud. This incident proves not only that the Hebrews fooled their employers but it also proves their employers trusted them enough to borrow their prizes possessions. This proves the Hebrews could not have been...
The Hebrews tricked the Egyptians into lending them their prized possessions and they then left! Please look into things before trying to argue with people.
