Jesus Christ as God and the Trinity Was Not Invented Until the Fourth Century?

Because the Exodus is a myth... Its a story about redemption and crossing out of ignorance of God (crossing the Red Sea). The Jews were never slaves in Egypt and they didn't build the pyramids. Its an important story, but it isn't history.. and its quite fantastic and impossible.

According to the story 2 million Israelites and their herds left Egypt but only 1500 showed up in Canaan.

You mean that if you BELIEVE the Bible is a collection of myths...you are NOT a "believer?"

Seems like a bit of disconnect there.

In the time of David Jerusalem was less than 10 acres and had a tiny population.. What happened to the 2 million Israelites and their herds?

Here's a hint.. Palestine NEVER had a population of more than 600,000.

you keep saying that without ever providing a link to the census.........I see no reason to believe anything you post given that you have been wrong about most everything else......
 
The first period that Geva considers in his study is from the 18th–11th centuries B.C.E.

(Middle Bronze Age II to Iron Age I, in archaeological terms), the period before the arrival of the Israelites. Jerusalem was then confined to the small spur south of the Temple Mount known today as the City of David. As Geva reminds us, even then Jerusalem “was the center of an important territorial entity.”

From this period, the area includes a massive fortification system that has recently been excavated. Overall, however, the area comprises only about 11–12 acres.

Geva estimates the population of the city during this period at between 500 and 700 “at most.”

(Previously other prominent scholars had estimated Jerusalem’s population in this period as 880–1,100, 1,000, 2,500, 3,000; still this is hardly what we would consider a metropolis.)

The next period Geva considers is the period of the United Monarchy, the time of King David and King Solomon and a couple centuries thereafter (1000 B.C.E. down to about the eighth century B.C.E.). In David’s time, the borders of the city did not change from the previous period.

However, King Solomon expanded the confines of the city northward to include the Temple Mount. This increased the size of the city to about 40 acres, but the increase in population was not proportionate since much of this expansion was taken up with the Temple and royal buildings.

One scholar estimated the number at nearly a quarter million, another at more than a 100,000. Several put the number around 75,000. A number of others estimated between 25,000 and 75,000. Geva, always the population minimalist, estimates the number at 20,000.

apparently your expert tends to be about 90% lower than the other extreme.......if that follow consistently, your claim of 600,000 could mean 6 million......

have you ever noticed that the people you cite as authorities NEVER agree with the majority of scholars?......do you think there is a lesson to be learned from that?.....
