TILL
When you address the VERY detailed arguments that I have posted about the
size of the Israelite population, the size of the Sinai, the minimum
necessary size of the encampments, the minimum necessary length of the
column of people as they traveled from camp to camp, etc., and when you
address the points that I made about the locations of the 6th and 7th camps
(Ezion-geber and Kadesh) being known and the approximate 70 miles distance
between them, I will comment further on this subject. Until then, I can
only conclude that you are going to evade information that is detrimental to
your position. Besides, you have ignored the fact that I said I would
concede, for the sake of argument, that Moseroth and Mt. Hor were the same
place if you would just pass on to the other problems that I have posted
about the wilderness stories and try to show us that it is reasonable and
intelligent to believe that these stories are historically accurate.
(DAVE 5/6) Farrell: You are not "conceding" that to me - you are just as
foolish to say you'll concede they were the same place as you are when you
say they "weren't" - I am not arguing that they were, so your "concession"
is really nothing but "admission" of your ignorance. I don't know if they
were or not. Your concession shows your inability to cement your false
claim of contradiction - as usual, you want to "move on" to other problems
without proving your original assertion.
This is typical evasion, but, in this case, I am happy to move on - we can
talk until we're blue in the face, and Moserath and Mount Hor will remain as
"unknown" as they were when we started.
Regards.
Dave.
