The Book of Judges Chapter -6

In Session 87 Chapter 4 we learned that the reason religion is in chaos is because the rhetoric is too!

Chapter 6

Ye of Such Little Faith

And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the LORD: and the LORD delivered them into the hand of Mid’-i-an seven years (Judg. 6:1).

And Israel was greatly impoverished because of the Mid’-i-a-nites; and the children of Israel cried unto the LORD (Judg. 6:6).

The LORD chose Gideon the A’ -bi-ez’-rite as Israel deliverer but Gideon was in doubt he was the chosen one; so he ended up haggling with an Angel and God for proof. This could only happen in a comic book or the Bible.

But the spirit of the LORD came upon Gideon, and he blew a trumpet; and A’-bi-e’-zer was gathered after him (Judg. 6:34).

And Gideon said unto God, If thou wilt save Israel by mine hand … Behold, I will put a fleece of wool in the floor; and if the dew be on the fleece only, and it be dry upon all the earth beside then shall I know that thou wilt save Israel by mine hand, as thou hast said. And it was so … And Gideon said unto God, Let not thine anger be hot against me, and I will speak but this once; Let me prove, I Pray thee, but this once with the fleece; let it now be dry only upon the fleece, and upon all the ground let there be dew. And God did so that night … (Judg. 6:36-40).

Summary

So while Gideon was bargaining with God (not to mention the angel), someone was writing all this down. Really? The authorship of Judges is unknown, so therefore it is nothing more than a cave dwellers stories, passed down from generation to generation.

The falsehoods of the Bible are many. For a true God would not bargain with his creations in order to do his will!
