One of the best known stories of all time, the story of how Moses parted the Red Sea as the Israelites left Egypt has been told and retold for countless generations. But what did it look like? When did it happen? Who was involved? Some people tell of chariots in the Red Sea, while others deny the event ever took place. Buckle up, the Bible is about to get Weird.

    As my dad, a pastor, always says, "Moses was the first man to break all 10 Commandments at once."

    The more I listen to this podcast, the more the journey of the Israelites to the Promised Land sound like a family road trip. "If all of you misbehave one more time, so help me I will turn this pilgrimage around!" Also, the premise of the journey would make a good idea for an Oregon Trail-like Bible game.

    How is it that two youtubers can manage to do a podcast with zero delay or lag between the two, but our news organizations can't manage to have less than a 3 second delay between reporters

    I've never been to the Red Sea but I've been to the Dead Sea. The concentration of salt is so much that you can float in it without having to actually do anything.

    One thing about Stephen’s death, I heard someone say that in that moment the Jewish people denied the Trinity. They denied the Father when they rebuked Jesus who said the Father sent Him, they rejected the Son when they didn’t believe that Jesus is who He says He is and killed Him, and than denied the Holy Ghost when Stephen was filled and they killed him for it. Interesting
  • This interpretation of the dialogue between God and Moses is actually pretty legit when you consider the scriptures say "God spoke to Moses face to face, AS A MAN TALKS TO HIS FRIEND"
  • There is no way Moses couldn’t write. He was adopted into Egyptian royalty. If he wasn’t taught literacy I don’t know who else would

  • The book of Exodus, a brief summary: Moses: Y'all..... this is why we can't have nice things..... Someone needs to give this man some Excedrin
  • Moses mistakenly striking the rock came after sinai. He was supposed to speak to it that second time. He did the right thing the first time

    I never before heard the story of Moses holding up his staff to help the Israelites fight the Amelekites, but now that I've heard it, it is quite funny to me that the story of how the Danish flag came to be is very similar and obviously borrowed a lot from this Bible story. On the 15. June 1219, king Valdemar Victory of Denmark was on a crusade to christianize the baltic peoples of what today is Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. He established a castle at what today is called Tallinn (Which apparently means dane-castle in estonian) and here he was attacked by the estonians. The battle was going badly for the danes until a red cloth with a white cross on it fell from the sky. In some versions of the story, it is said that a voice spoke from the heavens saying that as long as this cloth was held high, the danes would win, somewhat like the story of Constantine the great and "In this sign you shall conquer". The archbishop of Lund; Anders Sunesen, took the cloth to a hill and held it high, inspiring the Danes to victory, but his arms grew tired and he dropped the cloth, after which the Estonians were once again winning. Two knights came to help and with the bishop on his knees, with one knight to hold up each of his arms, he kept the cloth held high and the danes eventually won the battle. Valdemar would adopt this red cloth with a white cross; the "Dane-cloth"/"Dannebrog", as Denmark's official flag and it is to this day the oldest continously used national flag.
  • I wonder, since God takes evil and uses it for good, and we know knowledge has been an issue since the beginning... the tree of knowledge, the fallen angels teaching technology...and because magic used to be so much more common...maybe God's people had such a hard time believing in the miracles because they just didn't know how miraculous some of these things were. Maybe the more we learn about our world now, the easier it is to see the impossibility of things without God. We've gotten so out of hand with our quests for knowledge and technology and we're just too smart we think to believe in magic and miracles, when we look at the universe coming from nothing or a human surviving something they shouldn't be able to ectr, we can be pretty confident that we're looking at something that is impossible without an all powerful God. I know seeking knowledge led me to God. I just kept getting brought back to him when searching for answers about the mysterious things in our world.

    Creed wasn’t suppose to be a Christian rock band but the singer/ songwriter said his lyrics ended up praising the lord
