(^118) Is The Bible God s Word?
700 or 7 000?
It is certainly naught for Bible-lovers1 comfort that a whole nought (0)
was either added to 700, or subtracted from 7 000, thus making the
confused Biblical Mathematics even more confounded!*

GOD CONFUSED BETWEEN “CAVALRY” AND
“ INFANTRY”?
As for the “inspired writers” of the Bible not knowing the difference
between “ footmen” and “ horsemen,” it is all the more serious
because God Himself here stands accused, as a source of that
“inspiration” for not knowing the difference between cavalry and
infantry. Or is it possible that the Syrians who fled before Israel were
centaurs (i.e. a race of creatures with the body and legs of a horse
and the torso, head and arms of a man). Is it possible that these
“creatures” had suddenly stepped out of Classical Greek Mythology to
bemuse the all too gullible authors?
