Dumpsterize The Ten Commandments
According to the Bible, Old AND New Testament, every
claim needs to be established by at least two
to three witnesses before it should ever stand a chance of being
accepted as fact.
A matter must be established by the
testimony of two or three witnesses. (Deut. 19:15 NIV)
Every fact is to be confirmed by the testimony
of two or three witnesses. (2nd Cor 13:1 NASB)
Given that, where were the witnesses to confirm Moses' claim about
Biblegod handing him a chiseled list of commandments on top of Mt.
Sinai? He made a claim that Biblegod gave him tablets of stone
containing The Ten Commandments. Where are the witnesses? There were
none, for according to his own story, he was alone- by himself, no
one else around- when Biblegod supposedly did this. There was no one
to corroborate his extraordinary claim. Based upon that admitted
FACT and what the Bible demands about how claimed facts are to be
handled, the Ten Commandments should be thrown into the nearest
dumpster, for as it stands now, the entire Ten Commandments rests
upon the uncorroborated say-so of a single, solitary man. To put it
in modern terms, picture Colorado Springs, and a modern day "Moses"
coming down off nearby Pikes Peak, to the corporate offices of
"Focus on The Family". He sneaks past the receptionist, escapes the
rent-a-cops, and dashes into the lavish offices of Dr. James Dobson,
and thrusts a typed list of commandments in his face. Trust me, that
list will get tossed quicker than the intruder himself. Yet, the
only basic difference between Moses and the modern day nutcase is...
a few centuries. Other than that, it's the same situation. The list
from the nutcase carries no more weight than the list that, for all
we know, Moses himself etched out and then lied about.
