Journalists Unveil Biblical Mistakes
http://english.pravda.ru/science/19/...745_bible.html
... The heaven-sent manna was not some sort of miraculous meal, it was a resinous substance. It can still be found on certain bushes that grow in the Sinai area. The walls of the ancient city of Jericho did not tumble down because of the sound of Judaic horns. The town did not exist at all during the Exodus. A whale did not swallow Prophet Jonah either. The Bible simply said that a common man, who plunges in thought and turns to God, can become a prophet, being able to overcome any obstacles. ... And more. Will this have any impact on the faith of millions who believe the bible to be inerrant? I'd be willing to wager 'NO'. -Gambit |

Re: Re: Journalists Unveil Biblical Mistakes
To me, that review looks like an imperfect translation. Does anyone else get that impression?
