David was a shepherd from a backward land in the 10th century BC. If he was the author of the psalms, he would have dictated them to his scribes.

Well, I assume David spoke his own psalms at some point. Isn't it a bit unlikely that you'd never speak your own poetry sometime in your life?

Which era of slavery are you referring to? Because if you are referring to the Columbian exchange, then that was only around 350-400 years of history. Slavery in general has been around for millennia, yes, but the people of Noah were 1. Corrupt in blood, fornicating with fallen angels, 2. Sinful in every way, sodomy, fornication, murder, hatred, lying, stealing, in every man and woman. There is a difference between one institution that some rich people did (on a large scale, many would have a single servant but most slave owners were rich on large plantations).

the flood was to punish all the evil of the world, and then the reason he didnt flood the earth of evil again is because he made a promise to noah to not to ever gain, via the rainbow

Just look at the death counts. The numbers can vary based on version of the bible, interpretation, etc, but most come up with approximate numbers of 10 for Satan/The Devil and 2 to 2.5 million for Jehovah.
+9
Level 69
Nov 9, 2023
That depends quite significantly on interpretation. You could say that Satan is responsible for everyone who has died because of his role in introducing sin, and thus death.

You could also attribute every death to Jehovah because He is the one that gives life, and thus He takes it too. Everyone that dies, whether it is by murder, manslaughter, or even old age could be listed as under the 'death count' of either, or both.

But if I murder someone, then I could just say I wanted them to go to heaven and therefore had good intentions. Your logic there is pretty flawed.

If the Torah was never created, the people would have adapted slavery anyway, since it was practiced in every culture around the Hebrews. The Torah's slavery is debt or prisoner of war-based, and is (slightly) less atrocious than the slavery of the cultures around, and it surprisingly treats slaves better (but not much better) than other cultures.

You blame all the suffering... on God? Satan's the one that's been harming people through sin through the start - God never told people to kill each other or to start wars, those were Satan's doings (and partially us humans') through sin.

Yes, the KJV, which is just a revision of an earlier translation and not an actually new translation, has archaic language, and uses late, less accurate manuscripts, is definitely the most accurate and useful to the modern-day reader who wants to understand what they are reading.

If you accept Jesus and not require Jesus Christ, Simon Peter...then just Pilate should be accepted, too :)

"Christ" is not Jesus' last name, and I don't think last names are given for the apostles or disciples. Probably more important: I don't think in 18 years of Catholic schooling that I once heard anyone call him "Pontius." It's always "Pontius Pilate."

Genesis 19: 14-15 says this:

14 And Lot went out, and spake unto his sons in law, which married his daughters, and said, Up, get you out of this place; for the Lord will destroy this city. But he seemed as one that mocked unto his sons in law.

15 And when the morning arose, then the angels hastened Lot, saying, Arise, take thy wife, and thy two daughters, which are here; lest thou be consumed in the iniquity of the city.

Lot said those words, the angels said something else upon those lines
