Genesis 14 explicitly says they marched west and fought in Canaan, including the region of the Dead Sea (called the Valley of Siddim). That’s the key point you’re skipping conveniently. Ancient kings didn’t stay in one place. They campaigned long distances. That’s literally how empires worked.

@JWaveYankeeWay @maklelan These were kings who fought Amorite tribes east of the Euphrates, not the Jordan. They were nowhere near Siddi or the Dead Sea. Hammurabi overthrew the Lim Dynasty of Mari. He was also from an an Amorite tribe.

Moses probably never existed #maklelan3212 youtube.com/shorts/3xEVTxz…

@johan67413615 @careym74 um?? what are you watching? Volpe can’t field or throw on target.

@careym74 You obviously don’t care about the 3rd most important position on the baseball field. Those guys defense are mid. We can deal with volpe mid bat but his defense out weights all.

I honestly don’t want to see Volpe ever again! We can go from Caballero to Lombard! #RepBX

thats not a religion problem.. thats a human nature problem. People always say “imagine how far we’d be without religion” like humanity suddenly becomes perfectly rational if you remove God. That’s not reality—that’s wishful thinking. Humans don’t stop believing in things. They just replace what they believe in. If it’s not God, it becomes politics, ideology, identity, power—something always takes that place. And history proves it. Some of the worst atrocities didn’t come from religion—they came from systems that claimed to be purely rational and “beyond” it. The real issue isn’t religion—it’s human nature. We corrupt everything we touch. Religion, science, government… none of it stays pure once people get involved. So blaming God for what people do with belief misses the point entirely. If anything, the question isn’t “what if religion didn’t exist?” It’s: why do humans keep distorting everything—even truth itself?

I honestly wish religion had never existed. Imagine how far we would be as a species if humanity consistently pursued evidence-based, rational answers instead of constructing narratives around imagined deities.

😂 all this work to push false narratives lmao. why? this is actually comical.. So taking real Bronze Age texts (Mari tablets, Amorite names, etc and then implanting •real place names (Yamina, Binyamina, etc.) •real geography (northern Syria, Anatolia) …and then jumping to: “Therefore the biblical Israelites are just Amorites from Syria and therefore the Bible is wrong.” Bini-Yamina = the tribe of Benjamin in the Bible” That’s not even close to being true it’s just a similarity in wording. It would be like saying: “There’s a group called ‘Westerners,’ therefore they are Americans.”😂 again what the “half truths” yeah movements of Semitic peoples throughout Mesopotamia and Syria is true but migration patterns were complex and multi-directional That does NOT equal: “Israel didn’t come from Egypt” or “The Bible is wrong” The Bible itself already places Israel within that broader world: Abraham comes from Mesopotamia,Israel has connections to Arameans and Canaan is already populated by related Semitic groups So saying: “Semites were already in the north” Doesn’t disprove anything—it actually fits the biblical backdrop so again ur proving what the Bible is already telling us The Bible already acknowledges Amorites as a group in the land that was DISTINCT for Israel also Intermingled and sometimes opposed so even if a name appears in both contexts that absolutely DOES not mean they are the same group. You are focusing on linguistics and geography and completely ignoring textual continuity, covenant identity and the internal consistency of the Biblical narrative… The Bible is not is not just tribes it’s genealogies,historical sequencing and realtionships. You can’t just override all that in your head or completely ignore it because one word looks similar to another lol. That’s like looking at a granny smith apple and assuming the core of the apple is ALSO green because the skin on the apple is Green. lol my friend go to someone else who hasn’t considered everything….Even if the Bible was false in areas that still wouldn’t shake my faith because of the other things you people are spiritually blind towards. Happy Palm Sunday

@JWaveYankeeWay @maklelan There are no “half-truths” in what I stated. Your apologetics is ignorant of Levantine history. Jisr-El & Yaudy were actually in Syro-Anatolia… where Mount Saphon & Tell Si’anu (Hebrew: Zion, Nesili: Siunun; “of/from God”) were. They were settlements.

@Keith_McPherson @GLguygardner4 lineup scares me a bit Keith.. there deff good enough to make the playoffs with the pitching but i seriously question the depth and reliability in big spots with the lineup… would have been nice to Add another impact Bat between Judge and Belli.

ya'll cool with this yankee team or you still hate them?

i’m not even exaggerating when I say i have seen more double plays turned with Jazz and Cabby literally in 3 games to start this season then i have with Volpe all last year… Tell me where I’m lying?

your saying half truths and than overextending them into some sweeping conclusion.. so i know what your doing… and this actually fits the pattern perfectly now that i think about.. The early Israelites are often portrayed as: wanderers,marginal and not fully established politically That lines up very naturally with what “Habiru” describes. There may be a relationship—but they are not identical terms. Not: “therefore Hebrews didn’t exist.” Hebrew=is a specific dialect within the Canaanite language family..

@JWaveYankeeWay @maklelan The Habiru weren’t an ethnic group, nationality, or Tribe. They were a social caste of outlaws & outsiders, throughout the ANE & Mesopotamia. “Hebrew” is a misnomer for the language. Israelites spoke “the language of Canaan” (Canaanite).

@JaySocialX @SpaceRobeX @Bellorris Matthew 23:34 “Therefore I send you prophets and wise men and scribes, some of whom you will kill and crucify…” only God sends his prophets… Jesus is God

@SpaceRobeX @Bellorris That does not mean Jesus is God. Where did Jesus himself say “I am God”? You will not find it anywhere

I’m studying different religions and their teachings, and I’ve come to the conclusion that Jesus is not God, but a prophet, and that he is still alive.

Hebrew being a Canaanite language isn’t a contradiction—that’s exactly where Israel is located in the biblical narrative. Language families don’t determine origin stories. And while many people question the scale of the Exodus as described, that’s different from proving it’s entirely mythical. Even critical scholarship allows for a historical core, just interpreted differently.” Presenting conclusions as settled facts, is not how this works because these are layered debates—linguistics, archaeology, and textual history don’t all point to a single, uncontested answer.

@JWaveYankeeWay @maklelan - Hebrew is a Canaanite language dialect - There is a vast wealth of evidence - The overwhelming consensus of scholars of Egypt & Israel agree that the Exodus is mythical museum.imj.org.il/en/exhibitions…

Ever notice how the Bible bookends redemptive history with the same powerful image—carcasses and birds of prey? It starts in Genesis 15 with God’s covenant with Abram… and ends in Revelation 19 with the final judgment. The righteous are protected. The wicked become the feast. Let me show you the thread: 2/ In Genesis 15, God tells Abram to prepare animals for the covenant ritual. He splits the larger ones in two and lays them opposite each other—but “the birds he did not cut in two.” Then: “Birds of prey came down on the carcasses, but Abram drove them away.” (Genesis 15:11) Abram protects the sacrifice. The covenant stands. God alone walks through the pieces in grace. 3/ Fast forward to Jesus warning about the end: “Wherever the carcass is, there the vultures will gather.” (Matthew 24:28; Luke 17:37) Sudden judgment. No hiding it. The sign is as obvious as buzzards circling a battlefield. 4/ Isaiah closes with the aftermath of rebellion: “As they go out, they will see the dead bodies of those who rebelled against me…” (Isaiah 66:24) Exposed corpses. Unquenchable fire and worm. A haunting end-times picture. 5/ Then Revelation 19 flips the script completely: An angel calls to all the birds flying overhead: “Come, gather for the great supper of God” — to devour the flesh of kings, captains, mighty men… all who fought against the Lamb. “And all the birds were gorged with their flesh.” (Revelation 19:17-21) No one drives the vultures away this time. 6/ From Genesis to Revelation: • At the beginning, the man of faith drives the birds away to guard God’s covenant. • At the end, the rebellious become the unprotected carcasses, and the vultures get the “great supper.” Same imagery. Opposite outcome. 7/ The righteous? They’re shielded—like Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego untouched in the blazing furnace while their enemies burned (Daniel 3). One supper for the Bride (Marriage Supper of the Lamb). Another for the birds. God protects His own from beginning to end. What a dead giveaway of how the whole story fits together. End times aren’t random. The pattern was set in Genesis. Who else sees this thread running through Scripture? 🔥 #BibleStudy #EndTimes #GenesisToRevelation

I see your good at mixing “half truths” together and trying to push a narrative- so let me destroy these claims meticulously.. Hebrew didn’t exist” — Languages develop over time. Early Hebrew emerged from Northwest Semitic dialects already in use in the region. Saying it “didn’t exist” oversimplifies how language history works. “Sinai was an Egyptian mine” — Yes, Egypt had mining operations in Sinai. That’s well established. But Egyptian presence in the region doesn’t disprove the biblical narrative—it actually confirms that Sinai was within Egypt’s sphere of activity, which aligns with the setting of Exodus. Also, the exact location of Mount Sinai is still debated. “No Promised Land in Canaan” — “Promised Land” is a theological designation, not a geopolitical label. Canaan absolutely existed as a historical region. This point is arguing against a category that historians wouldn’t expect to find in the first place. “Egypt conquered Canaan, not Israelites” — Egypt did control parts of Canaan during the New Kingdom. That’s true. But ancient imperial control was not permanent, and Egypt’s influence declined over time. The existence of Egyptian rule does not eliminate the possibility of later population movements or emerging groups like early Israel. Hyksos / Ahmose — The expulsion of the Hyksos is a real historical event. Some scholars have suggested possible connections or echoes with later traditions, but this remains speculative. It is not a settled identification, and the biblical text does not equate Israelites with the Hyksos. “The Bible isn’t a history book” — The Bible is not a modern history textbook, but it is also not disconnected from history. It contains theological narrative rooted in real places, cultures, and events, even if those events are interpreted through a religious lens. The larger issue here is methodological: Presenting partial data as if it leads to a single definitive conclusion is not good history. The current academic landscape reflects a range of views—from skeptical to moderate to traditional—not a single agreed-upon position that “Moses didn’t exist” or that Exodus was invented in the late period. What we actually have is ongoing debate, not settled disproof. Confidence in a conclusion does not equal certainty of evidence.

@JWaveYankeeWay @maklelan We have vast amounts of “external confirmation”. museum.imj.org.il/en/exhibitions…

@ChrissyGrace000 @rabbriansamuel written by some man? what are u even saying? we absolutely do follow Torah as christians, for its the foundation of the faith itself..

@rabbriansamuel Christians do not follow the Torah. That was written by some man and it is not the Bible. I’m glad that you are a messianic Jew, but I saw a post that is really disturbing… Christ is king and that should not be antisemitic because we as Christians believe that Christ is king.

What Scriptures led me, a Jew, to believe that Jesus is the Messiah? Part 2 Isaiah 2:3: For out of Zion shall go forth the Torah, And the word of the Lord from Jerusalem. Isaiah writes that when the Messiah comes, the Torah will go forth from Zion to the nations. This has already happened, through Jesus. Literally billions of Christians not only carry around a Torah in the form of their Bible, but seek to live according to its moral and ethical standards. Does it mean that Christians keep kosher, keep Shabbat, wear fringes? Mostly no. But billions of Christians around the world, across centuries, across all nations, keep the Torah's moral laws, because the word of God has been written on their hearts. There's nothing more Messianic than this! This is arguably one of the best proofs that Jesus is actually the Jewish Messiah. The Torah has indeed gone forth from Zion and the Word of the Lord from Jerusalem. No future Messianic candidate will do it better than Jesus already did. Shabbat shalom! ❤️❤️❤️

@Nills1231 @Tatita133351 @maklelan they found? sounds like a conspiracy theory to control the masses according to you, and it absolutely does not demand that. i don’t know what you’re reading.

@JWaveYankeeWay @Tatita133351 @maklelan "If Christianity's fake, why didn't they make it more pleasing" Because they didn't have to. They found you can run a faith just fine off the story of suffering now and being rewarded later and kept with that. It also means they can convince people to demand less in life.

It only goes "against man's desires" to the degree it imposes standards & mores as means of costly signaling & credibility enhancing displays, which is precisely how humans have always structured power, values & boundaries within social groups. This isn't special.

But that only works if: 1.the goal of the Bible is social approval 2.the reward structure is visible and immediate 3.people are acting because it benefits their standing The problem is… the text repeatedly shows the opposite. Think about Parable of the Good Samaritan for a second. the priest and Levite (high-status religious figures) fail the Samaritan (social outsider, borderline hated) is the one called “good” That’s not reinforcing status—it’s undermining the system that assigns it. If this were about status optimization: 1.the priest should’ve been the hero 2. Samaritan should’ve stayed low-status Instead, Jesus says moral truth cuts across social categories, not upholds them.

@JWaveYankeeWay @maklelan Actually, those actions do raise your social status, but within the context of the group. Being a good samaritan is seen as something of much more value than being a filthy sinner. Lust=bad, therefore, celibate=good, therefore, people who didnt fuck has more value.

@eyyankees Big G

Who is hitting the first bomb of the season?

when people try and tell me God isn’t Real… Isaiah 44:28 “Who says of Cyrus, ‘He is my shepherd, and he shall fulfill all my purpose,’ saying of Jerusalem, ‘She shall be built,’ and of the temple, ‘Your foundation shall be laid.’” Not Only is God straight up naming king Cyrus 200 years before he was even born God is mentioning: 1. An Exact Name (King Cyrus) 2. A specific role (restore Jerusalem) 3. An the exact specific outcome (temple rebuilt) And historically, Cyrus did exactly that after conquering Babylon.

@TalkinYanks @william_oak2455 dude where really doing this with Ben Rice again this year… here we go… 1 game in and the insanity already starts

Cam Schlittler takes the mound for his first start of the regular season

@TalkinYanks anything!!! Yankees will literally do anything to try and catch lightning in a bottle to avoid paying the proven Elite players that come on the market.

Yankees are signing Luis Garcia to a two-year minor-league contract Garcia is currently rehabbing from Tommy John surgery that he had in October

thats just a refined version of the same argument,, your saying the same thing. Yea,moral systems can promote prosocial behavior and that costly signals play a role in human groups. But that explains what these behaviors do, NOT what they are. The Bible doesn’t just tell people to act in ways that help the group; it roots those actions in something beyond the group entirely, like the character of God. And some of its commands—like loving enemies or forgiving without reciprocity—don’t map neatly onto survival or social advantage. So reducing it all to signaling is explaining the function while ignoring the deeper claim. Prosociality can be a byproduct of truth but that doesn’t mean it’s the source of it.

@JWaveYankeeWay They're designed to promote prosociality, and no, the Bible does not consistently push people into things that don't naturally produce prosociality. It's not actually the content of restrictions that are most important, but their function as costly signals.
