Moses Splitting the red sea was a complete marketing stunt for God?

Question

Did he really need to do this? Why did God give him the power to do such a huge thing - it must have been shameless self promotion to get the Christian faith going in the first place....

Why, in that case, given the amount of vissicitudes in beliefs around this subject has God never tried to re-inforce his position by granting someone else the powers and show all of us Philistines that he is kicking about still?

JY you cynic!

I think that is why no one is answering this one!!

Mr Mister: you are still copying and pasting other peoples opinions in...lets try originality for one, just one of the answers..

Answer 2

No. It was not a stunt.

Atheist were no stunt either. They are very real.

here is why...........

BIBLE: KJV according to sourses:
What does God call them? Preach love to them? Lets see what God says, to do with them.

You have unbeliever's, Chaff, Scoffers.

An Atheist is a "scoffer". The WORD of God, clearly tells, ATHEISTS are filhty rags they are, and to stay away from them, and avoid them. We are NOT to plant seeds. God knows it is useless and that is why he tells us, "You stand firm against them" ( Jer.17:8 14:1 Iah 44:4) You disassociate them completely. Any Believer that does not abide in God's own Word, does not know God, according to God Himself.
Atheists are "chaff" A simile of the wretchedness of the wicked. Chaff is carried away by the lightest wind, and it's removal brings about cleansing by extracting what is utterly useless. (Ruth 1:22). They will NOT stand in the judgment. They will NOT be able to withstand God's wrath when He judges.( Pslams 76:7 Exra 9:15). This is not my opinion, this is God's very own Words, in the Bible. You know, the BIble? The same Bible atheist scholars quote. There is a reason God, said this. Psalms.1.1-3 Jer. 17:8 14:1 12. 1-2 18:9-10 Prov1.10-19 (vs 5) scoffers:(atheists) those who ridicule God and definatley reject His Law. Prov 1.:22 Ruth 1:22 Jer 18:7 (pull down-destroy) 1:10 (evil-calamity) 18:11

Pslams 1:
godly wisdom here, declare the final outcome of the two "ways". The paths of "sinners" (unbelievers) and the "way of the righteous. he speaks progressively of assoociation with the ungodly and participation in they're ungodly ways.

God said it. End of Story. Jesus Himself said "Let the dead bury they're dead".

Use all the Internet and Dictionaries they want to and call themselves anything they wish. God "defined" what they are by His own Holy Word.

They can hang a dog tag* around they're neck in the pits if hell itself and separate each other by name categorically.

God's Word said it. By God's definition. They are nothing but filthy rags. There is NO opinion.

Hate? Where do you get hate? If God's TRUTH is hate too you, then, so be it. You and God, can and will discuss the means of your scriptural interpretation, consisting with a man-made defacto on a motion of plea bargin I guess. I dunno.

assalamualikum !
dear Allah (swt) sent moosa(pbuh) as a messenger ,and he gave him the powers showing that Allah(swt) can do any thing.
Moosa(pbuh) was given the powers by Allah(swt) b`coz people by that time believd in prophets only if he did magic and showed some trics ,so it was necessary for moosa(pbuh) being granted the powers .
And as 4 as the christians are concerned many try to critiisise others b`coz bible teaches them to do so ( since the present bible is not the true word of ALLAH.
A famous protestant of islam william moore said QUR-AN is the only book which maintained its purity even after 1400 years ago and it is the truth .
dear MOSES ( pbuh) was a muslim so was EESA( JESUS pbuh) all the prphets wewr muslims and it the truth .

Answer 4

you comprehend, i'm no longer a non secular individual. i'm rather lots agnostic. notwithstanding, i'm relatively aggravated. each and every atheist i've got ever met has gotten disillusioned that christians undesirable mouth them and dismiss them. yet, here you're doing the top same subject to them. while you're so lots extra advantageous than the christians you all whinge approximately, why are you sinking to their point? extra to the component, the christians think of which you have yet to be sure the easy, no longer which you're all uneducated morons. yet here, you're insinuating that anybody that believes in God is a stupid, ridiculous individual. once you're so reason on getting comprehend and being left on your ideals, then why do no longer you enable a similar for others?

Answer 5

Does GOD need to do meracals to prove HIS power? NO but if you look thru out the Bible people keep asking for GOD to prove himself. Mose did it at the burning bush, Gideon did with the rug and dew, and people did it when JESUS walked the earth.

Answer 6

Well, God IS the master marketer. As for Moses, he was kind of a one-trick pony.

Answer 7

It was the Sea of Reeds, not the Red Sea.

Answer 8

Okay, I'll edit my answer.


GOSH, I don't know... it's really mysterious how God works in our lives. You do know he inspired the bible and even though we can't comprehend it in our secular minds, it is all according to his plan.

Amen.

Answer 9

Good luck.
