THE BIBLE SHOWS THAT THE GOD OF THE BIBLE DOES NOT EXIST

 THE BIBLE SHOWS THAT THE GOD OF THE BIBLE DOES NOT EXIST

1 Omniscient

--------------------

A God who is infinitely-knowing CANNOT repent of his action, regret, get angry or be jealous. All these imply limited knowledge. When you always know precisely what will happen long before it happens, you will not repent, regret, get angry or be jealous. Humans display these emotions because we have limited knowledge and do not know certain things will happen the way it did…but not an all-knowing god.

The bible presents us with very curious cases of an all-knowing god who repented of his actions:

a. And it repented the Lord that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart. (Gen. 6: 6)

b. After Saul failed to commit complete genocide as god commanded, god repented of making Saul king. “It repenteth me [God] that I have set up Saul to be king: for he is turned back from following me, and hath not performed my commandments [Committing complete genocide on the Amalekits] ... and the LORD repented that he had made Saul king over Israel.(1 Samuel: 11, 35)

c. Yahweh wanted to kill all of the Israelites for dancing before a golden calf. But Moses talked sense to Yahweh and Yahweh repented of the evil he'd planned to do “And Moses besought the LORD ... Wherefore should the Egyptians speak, and say, For mischief did he bring them out, to slay them in the mountains, and to consume them from the face of the earth? Turn from thy fierce wrath, and repent of this evil against thy people. ... And the LORD repented of the evil which he thought to do unto his people (Exo. 32: 11-14)

d. Other passages where Yahweh repented (Deut. 32: 36-42; 2 Samuel 24: 1-16; 1 Chron. 21: 1-15; Isa. 38: 1-5; Jer. 18: 8; 26:3; 26: 13; 26: 19; 42: 10; 18: 8; Jonah: 3: 3-10; Amos: 7: 1-6 ).

A god who repent, get angry and who is jealous, lacks omniscience. The bible, presenting a god who is limited in knowledge, stripped Yahweh of omniscience, a very important attribute of a god.

2. Omnipresent – all present, everywhere at all times

---------------------------

Though the bible claimed Yahweh is omnipresent, yet has passages portraying Yahweh as not being all present.

a I am going down to see if their actions are as wicked as I have hears. If not, I want to know (Gen, 18: 21). FACT: A God who is always present in a place and something happened in that very place cannot say he want to go to that place to verify if that thing actually happened. This verse shows that Yahweh is not all present.

b. The Passover: a god who is all-present will no the marking of door post to identify which house is which. (

(Exodus 32:14).

c. The sending of angels to deliver messages also debunked the omnipresence of god. A god who is all-present has no need for messengers.

The aforementioned cases debunked the omnipresence of Yahweh. A god who is all-present and not all-present is an impossibility. The bible again stripped Yahweh of another attribute of a god - omnipresence.

3. Faithful – will do what he said he will do

------------------------

These failed prophesies and promises (compiled by Daniel Henson in "Dossier of Reason") show that Yahweh is not a faithful being

a. Cain will become a fugitive (Gen 4:12, 14). But he built a city and presumably lived in it (Gen 4:16-17).

b. Israel will be captive 400 years in Egypt (Gen 15:13, Acts 7:6). It was 430 (Ex 12:40)

Jacob, renamed "Israel" by God, will never be called "Jacob" again (Gen 32:28, 35:9-10). He was continually called "Jacob" afterwards (ca. 40 times in Genesis, e.g. 49:33, 11 times in Ex).

c. There shall be no miscarriage or barrenness among the Israelites in Israel (Ex 23:26).

d. Ephraim and Manasseh will drive out the Canaanites (Josh 17:17-18, also Ex 33:2, 34:11; God had earlier promised to"destroy" the Canaanites at Ex 23:23-24, Deut 31:3-5). Hornets will drive them out (Ex 23:28). But they did not (Judg 1:27-29, 3:1-3, 4:2-3, Num 14:45).

e. Israel will never be ruled by another nation (Deut 15:6). But Mesopotamia ruled it for eight years (Judg 3:8), Moab for 18 (3:14), and many other nations have ruled it since, although. God said "I will not fail thee nor forsake thee" (Josh 1:5).

f. Jerusalem will never more be entered by the uncircumcised or the unclean. Jerusalem will be forever delivered from foreign domination (Isa 52, Joel 3:17). Jerusalem will never be destroyed again forever (Jer 31:40). Jerusalem was almost continually under foreign domination and has been destroyed several times, e.g. by the Romans in 132 AD.

Judah will be captive for 70 years in Babylon (Jer 25:11-13). The captivity lasted from 586 (or 597) to 538 BC, only 48 (or 59) years.

g. Jews who move to Egypt will die out with no remnant (Jer 42:17). But Jews established a large settlement at Alexandria and other places in Egypt and thrived there for many centuries.

h. Damascus will become a ruinous heap, no longer a city (Isa 17:1). But Damascus has had an uninterrupted existence as an important city for 3500 years.

i. Amaziah's sons will all die by the sword (Amos 7:17). But his son Uzziah died of leprosy (2 Chron 26:1, 21).

j. Tyre will be destroyed by Nebuchadnezzar and never be rebuilt (Ezek 26:3-14,21, 27:36, 28:19). Tyre was besieged but not destroyed by Nebuchadnezzar (Ezek 29:18). Alexander the Great destroyed it three centuries later, but it was immediately rebuilt, was prominent in Jesus' time, and still exists today (Matt 15:21, Acts 21:3, and other passages). Isaiah 23 says Tyre will be rebuilt after 70 years.

k. Nebuchadnezzar will not be able to conquer Tyre, and so God will allow him to conquer Egypt instead (Ezek 29:18-20, 30:4-19). Nebuchadnezzar never conquered Egypt.

l. Israel will never again (after Isaiah's time) be ravished by plunder (Isa 62:8-9). It has been destroyed and ravished numerous times since then.

m. Egypt will be made desolate and waste and be uninhabited for 40 years, no one will pass through it, and the Egyptians will be scattered (Ezek 29:9-16, Joel 3:19 - Joel says this event is "near" at 2:1, 3:14). This never occurred.

n. The Nile River will dry up (Isa 19:5, Ezek 30:12, Zech 10:11). This has never occurred.

o. Edom (Idumaea) will be waste, no human will pass through it (Isa 34:9-10). This area (between Sinai and the Dead Sea) has always been populated.

p. Zedekiah will die in peace (Jer 34:3-5). He was blinded and died a captive in Babylon (Jer 52:9-11, 2 Kings 25:7).

q. Josiah will die in peace (2 Kings 22:18-20). He died from wounds inflicted in battle (2 Chron 35:20-24).

r. Jehoiakim's body would be desecrated by his people and dragged outside the gates of Jerusalem (Jer 22:18-19, 36:30-31). He was carried captive to Babylon and died there (2 Chron 36:5-6; see also 2 Kings 24:6, which implies he had a peaceful death).

s. Jehoiakim will have no successor on the throne of David; his seed is cursed (Jer 36:30-31). But his son reigned, although briefly (2 Chron 36:8-9, 2 Kings 24:6-8). And Jesus is his

descendant (1 Chron 3:16-17, Matt 1:12).

t. Jesus' followers will do greater works than he (John 14:12). Believers in Christ will be able to drink poison, survive bite of poisonous snakes (Mark 16:17-18, Luke 10:19).

Jesus said he would be in the tomb three days and three nights (Matt 12:40). But he was buried on Friday and had been resurrected by early Sunday, only two nights.

u. The Second Coming (and the End of the World) was promised by Jesus to be within the generation contemporary with him (Matt 10:7, 23, 16:28, 24:32-34, Mark 9:1, 13:24-30, Luke

9:27, 21:25-32). Paul also said this (1 Thess 4:15, 17, Heb 1:2, 10:37, 9:26 ["now in the end of the world he hath appeared"], 1 Cor 7:29; also 1 John 2:18, James 5:8, 1 Pet 4:7 ["end of all things is at hand"]). Jesus says that some of his listeners will "not taste death" until he returns in glory (Matt 16:28, Mark 9:1, 13:30, Luke 9:27). See also Matt 4:17, John 5:25, 12:31, Rev 1:1, 3, 3:11, 22:6-12, on the imminence of the last days ("soon", "shortly"). Luke is the only one to hedge, saying "the end is not by and by" (Luke 21:9, 19:11). Joel said (4th cent. B.C.) that Judgment Day was "near" even then (Joel 3:14, 2:1). Paul and John say that their own time is the end of the world because the signs have already appeared (Heb 9:26, 1 John 2:18).

A God whose many promises and prophesies are unfulfilled is not a faithful god. These 21 cases (and more) debunked the claim that Yahweh is faithful.
