Love this movie. Running Scared The 80s comedy, not the more recent drama

Does anyone seriously think that the story in Genesis about the Tower of Babel chronicles the origin of different human languages? I mean, we know that is not the case, don't we?

I like that answer better than the one provided by Word Wolf (no offense, old friend). Thanks!

Wrong track. Wrong train. Wrong vehicle. The only thing "right" is that it's a drama. Other than this one line, homosexuality is not the subject matter of this movie.

"And you can forget about Pritchard. He's homosexual." "I'll be damned." "Ah, so will he, if you believe the Old Testament."

That would make it: The Professional if the actress is Natalie Portman.

Actually, Steve, a lot of what you're saying jibes with some other stuff I've been reading (and, as I noted earlier, makes a truckload of sense of the anachronisms we find in Genesis and Exodus). If you hold to the "without error or contradiction" interpretation of "God-breathed," you prevent yourself from even considering this information, even though it fits the facts better! It was interesting to realize that nothing in the Torah says that the Torah is written by Moses. The most you can justifiably infer is that the books incorporate what was "written" by Moses previously.

I love it!

A later writing of Genesis, at least parts of it, would make sense of the observation I made earlier (about Moses writing about "before there were kings in Israel" even though there still were no kings in Israel at the time of Moses' death). It would also make more sense of the ending of Deuteronomy than the traditional explanation (that Joshua wrote it -- the language makes no sense if it were written by someone even 20 years after Moses' death, but makes perfect sense if inserted by someone hundreds of years later). A later writing of at least parts of the Torah actually make sense of a lot of things, like the claim in Exodus that the Hebrews built the city of Rameses even though Rameses didn't reign until much, much later than the Exodus (Yul Brynner's performance notwithstanding). Would the most humble man on earth really write that he's the most humble man on earth? (Numbers 12:3) Why does Abraham come from Ur of the Chaldees when the Chaldeans weren't in Ur until much later than the time even of Moses? A lot of these things make sense if they're edited into the story during the Babylonian captivity. They also make sense if Moses didn't write these books at all.

Are you suggesting that Moses did not write Genesis?

I never said these were earth-shattering or deal-breaking questions. I don't even think any one of them necessarily deserves its own thread. Maybe the Moses stuff. That's deep.
