Does anyone still believe God parted the Red Sea and that Moses had "horns of God"?

Question

Or has the Christian world finally corrected these mistranslations?

Its the Reed Sea, a marsh-area in Egypt that floods during high tide. Christian artists would draw Moses with horns, not because Jews were the devil, but because a mistranslated bible passage.

Answer 1

♥♪♦♫ Yes but what is Horns of God, Horns.♥♪♦♫

Answer 2

I don't know about Moses and the horns of God. Where did you get that? Certainly not out of the bible. As far as Moses and the red sea, The real question is do you believe there is a God. If you believe there is a God then miracles are not only possible but probable. If you look at archeology about half of the artifacts they find have to do with religion(they find burials grounds that are religious in nature, they find temple areas, all cultures and all the different empires had some kind of a religion....). Also, man cannot do away with religion. Communism tried to eliminate christianity and all religion. Lenin said that religion was the opiate of the people. He outlawed it and persecuted anyone who practiced religion. Yet Communism could not conquer religion. It eventually conquered communism. Man just seems to have an innate desire to know about God. He seems to have been created that way. Would God create us with a desire to know about Him and then never do nothing in space and time to let us know He exists. I don't think so. Therefore, as I said before, miracles are not only possible but probable.
The last article I read on astronomy said that there was 1 billion trillion stars out there.....not 1 trillion.....not 10 trillion....not 100 trillion....but 1BILLION TRILLION stars. That's a pretty big universe. If God created this awesome universe with all it's physical laws and life itself with it's immense complexities, He wouldn't have much of a problem with Noahs ark. If you're having a problem with the flood or with Jonah and the big fish or Moses and the Isrealites crossing the Red Sea, your problem is not with those events. Your problem is with Genesis 1:1, "in the beginning God created the heavens and the earth".

Answer 3

Yes, God parted the Red Sea (or whatever part of it that the Isrealites came to) . He sitll does miracles today, but most people ignore them.

Moses did not have any horns. He has been painted by artists as having light coming out of the top of his head and the picture makes the light look like horns. It is not a mistranslation, just a painting.

Answer 4

The "horns of God" is a Catholic mistranslation.
That God parted the Red Sea? absolutely. Some say it was the "reed sea" - sure, the words are similar. only they were written in Hebrew, not in English. Also, the Scripture describes two great walls on either side of the people as they marched through.
If it was a shallow bay, how come a whole Egyptian army got drowned?

Answer 5

I'm a Christian...but I think that a big problem with those of us who strive to be "Christ like" is that we worship the theology over the church and not the religion. What I mean by that is...If the average Christian was to be asked what fruit did Eve eat...they would say an Apple...but that is written no where in the Bible. That relates to this issue. The Hebrew Translition of the phrase, we deem to be "red sea" is Sea of Reeds. Thats how the Jewish traditionalists always viewed the issue...it was never believed to be Red Sea to them. The King James translation, which many of us get our word from, wrongly misinterpreted the actual meaning of the Hebrew text, which all later translations of the Bible arose from. Thus, to say that Moses did not part the Red Sea, is not a lack of faith, it is just stating what is fact, and has always been fact, until someone made the mistake of mistranslating it or just outright changing it.
Another example, which will likely cause many people to just disagree with my entire message (this is proven by looking up the actual scripture and accessing A Strong's numbers concordance though), is that the "virgin" birth prophesized by Isaiah does not match the "virgin" birth in the new testament, of Christ, that was claimed by the source to fulfill Isaiah's prophecy. The new testament's "virgin" refers to a woman who has never had sex before...but the "virgin," or the word for "virgin," in Isaiah is actually referring to a "lass" or young girl (like a lad). The New Testament account was written by a scholar centuries after Christ's life, likely based off of a previous writing or historical accounts (The Vatican II has recently admitted all of this, you can research that for yourself). Think: How many times did Jesus himself refer to his virgin birth or call Joseph "Joseph" and not "Father"?
My last point, is that there are many contradictions in the Bible to show that it has been written by Humans and is not the unaltered word of God (can God make a mistake?). These contradictions are made even worse by later generations, such as ourselves, clinging to a translation from someone who, at that time, realized that they were solely making a suggestion or giving a hypothesis...not that they were stating a fact (i.e. if the 10 commandments state that we should not make any Image of God, and our theology has told some of us, that Jesus IS God, or the same being...think bout how often that commandment is broken everytime you look at a representation of Jesus in a stained window in a church or you see someone with a cross on...). I'm not saying that I do not believe in the Virgin birth, or that God led the Isrealites across the Red Sea, but just like those before us - who we get our current views from - we do not know for fact and can only come to a conclusion based off what the Lord tells us, as an individual, to be true or even matter. We as Christians need to learn to get the general idea of the scripture, so that we can actually internalize God's word, so that we will not miss the whole meaning due to trying to accept or justify specifics.

Answer 6

Yes God absolutely parted the Red Sea. But what do you mean by the horns of God?

Answer 7

I have no idea about Moses having "horns of God" and I know that the correct translation is "reed" sea however God did part a body of water that was deep enough to drown the Pharaoh's army that was pursing the Israelites whether it was a reed sea or red sea it was still a miracle.

Exodus 14:21 Then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and the LORD drove the sea back by a strong east wind all night and made the sea dry land, and the waters were divided. 22 And the people of Israel went into the midst of the sea on dry ground, the waters being a wall to them on their right hand and on their left. 23 The Egyptians pursued and went in after them into the midst of the sea, all Pharaoh's horses, his chariots, and his horsemen. 24 And in the morning watch the LORD in the pillar of fire and of cloud looked down on the Egyptian forces and threw the Egyptian forces into a panic, 25 clogging their chariot wheels so that they drove heavily. And the Egyptians said, "Let us flee from before Israel, for the LORD fights for them against the Egyptians." 26 Then the LORD said to Moses, "Stretch out your hand over the sea, that the water may come back upon the Egyptians, upon their chariots, and upon their horsemen." 27 So Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and the sea returned to its normal course when the morning appeared. And as the Egyptians fled into it, the LORD threw the Egyptians into the midst of the sea. 28 The waters returned and covered the chariots and the horsemen; of all the host of Pharaoh that had followed them into the sea, not one of them remained. 29 But the people of Israel walked on dry ground through the sea, the waters being a wall to them on their right hand and on their left.

Answer 8

yes I believe that God divided the Red Sea the Bible says it and I believe it. I will not comment on the "horns of God" because I don't recall that in my Bible. You know the Bible has been around a very, very long time and we as christians don't need to try to change it now.

Answer 9

I don't know what you are talking about regarding the "horns of God" but I definitely believe God parted the Sea of Suf (aka Red Sea or Reed Sea). -yk

Answer 10

Moses didn't have literal horns. God did part the Red Sea.

Answer 11

You must be reading too many DaVinci Delusion Books, sweetheart.
