Why on Earth did this drivel get promoted?
The OP is something a ten year old would write, not a single thing in that post is supported in any shape or form.
The Star of Bethlehem has long been a mystery.
Has it? An unsupported claim, no name of anyone that has found it a mystery is given, and how do we know that this has long been a mystery, do we take Simple's word for it?
Science has not found any star that fits the bill, of the time, and place that it was supposed to shine.
Again, unsupported. What about a reference to an article or a scientist who has tried to explain the 'star' and failed to do so?
I propose that the star was a flying saucer, based on some evidence from the bible.
A saucer?
That would explain why it was not seen far away, and not a 'star' in the modern sense of the word.
But we are not talking about an observation made in the modern world, we are talking about an alleged event in the first century CE. Also, how do we know it wasn't seen far away?
I propose that the word sceptre (whose origin is unknown, I think)
"I think", the author doesnt even know the basics of his own argument.
was from this same ship,
A word came out the ship?
the mobile throne of the Almighty.
Why would God need a throne, God is spirit.
Gen 49:10 - The scepter shall not depart from Judah, Nor the ruler's staff from between his feet, Until Shiloh comes, And to him shall be the obedience of the peoples.
The sceptre is clearly referring to the tribe of Judah and privilege it had. Read the verse in context.
Ps 45:6 - Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: the sceptre of thy kingdom is a right sceptre.
Simple has just done a search for 'sceptre' and added this without any support at all.
Why did this ever get promoted?
What about it??
What about putting some effort in to your posts.
It is easy to find out what the Hebrew word used in these verses for 'sceptre' is, and it isn't a flying saucer.
More special treatment for our creationist/theist friends by promoting this substandard OP?
