Israel's enemies in those times were the Hittites, Girga****es, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites, seven nations larger and stronger than Israel.
Israel's enemies must have been civil, dandy and gay in their conduct of war. Their generals must have been skilled in the art...
We all know that wood is wood
It came from a tree
Part of it could be used as firewood
Part of it could be manufactured into something useful which people like to hoard

You are absolutely a genuine trekkie!
How I wished Star Trek was real so we could travel at warp speed and live in various M class planets.

“Always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.” (II Timothy 3:7, NKJV)
Why although man...
If Christ made miracles using spells and incantations then it would be comparable with the tales of Harry Potter.

Isn't not the old testament also written by people?
Or would you rather believe something written by a monkey?
