What a self-serving scam that was! Followed by the horror of Josiah's "cleansing." 2 Kings 22:8-2Kings 23.

gahhh!

can someone split this thread from the whacked out stuff River is talking about from the other stuff?

I do like much of the on topic ideas, I think they explain much of the reasons for the contradictions in the bible.

Thanks guys!
