The reason (in the mythology as the story of exodus is mythological and not historical) for God to harden Pharoah’s heart was to have a reason to do the plagues and all of that, as a show of force to the people of Egypt (and the people of Israel who had been living in Egypt for 400 years and picked up polytheistic tendencies) that Yahweh is greater and more powerful than all of the Gods of Egypt and the Pharaoh.
I just read Exodus recently. God tells Moses before he even goes to Pharoah, while giving him instructions that he will harden the Pharoah’s heart so that he does not let the people of Israel go.
NIV Exodus 4:21 - The Lord said to Moses, “When you return to Egypt, see that you perform before Pharaoh all the wonders I have given you the power to do. But I will harden his heart so that he will not let the people go. “
They were given permission to admit it by the media after that debate. My Blue MAGA high school history teacher who recently blocked me on Facebook for commenting on his posts admitted it but acted like it was only since the debate that it was apparent. I was like no we could all see it and many of us were talking about it for years already. “Well I agree that he’s declined mentally but I disagree that it was evident before this”. Totally dishonest, they’ll toe the party line at all times and if the line changes they don’t miss a beat.
Right I mean he’s also 83 and still working, a lot of people that age who just worked a normal job and retired have more money than him lol he’s definitely not whatever the chuds made him out to be.
The big thing was “Bernie has 3 houses he’s a fancy millionaire” when he has just his home in Vermont, a townhouse in DC, and the “vacation house” which they either inherited from his wife’s mother or bought with the inheritance. It’s legit a very normal and mundane thing and his net worth of a couple million is honestly low for somebody who’s been in Congress for decades, he’s not Nancy Pelosi or Mitch McConnell who have closer to 100 million dollars by being corrupt goons.
Sounds like Israeli cope after the fact tbh, it’s totally embarrassing for them that they got caught with their pants down so it’s “no we totally knew about it we just let you do that”
Actually the people of Crimea didn’t want to be a part of Ukraine anymore, idk what this nonsense about the elections not being “legit” is, are you trying to imply that they didn’t want this? Or are you just against their self determination? The people of Crimea should have to live under a regime of Nazis that hate them and want to do ethnic repression because darn that’s just how we drew the border a few years ago when the USSR was illegally dissolved, tough luck guys.
It was self determination by the people of Crimea actually.
Pretty weak attempt, Bobby Sands fasted for like 66 days before he died
That’s how it was about the Kennedy assassination. It just kept repeating that like “no story can be verified 100% but the most likely explanation according to experts is that Oswald acted alone”, just assertions without evidence
I participated in the survey and “talked” with it about JFK, it had no real arguments and some of the sentences it said weren’t even coherent
It means beautiful in Portuguese. Portuguese sailors are the ones who gave that name to the island of Taiwan.
It’s also my favorite show and I also have the I want to Believe Poster
No, that’s a dielectric. A dialectic is somebody who can’t eat much sugar because their body doesn’t produce enough insulin.
I enjoyed the Del Toro Pinocchio so much I immediately wanted to watch it again, which I almost never do with any movie. I can see how other people might not like it, but unwatchable is very surprising to me.
Been a while since I saw it but I thought it had at least a couple scenes sympathetic to communism, like not just his mom but the other people her age miss the communist days once they’re gone, an older guy talks about some of the things that were good, and not everything about west Germany is shown as positive.
Mine are basically the same
John Wayne also smoked 6 packs of cigarettes a day so that may have been a factor in causing his cancer.
I pull mine out with my fingers mostly, but will also bust out a tweezers for the hard to reach ones. I have no idea why they keep growing back when they are clearly not welcome
His hardened heart is mentioned before/during each of the ten plagues. For a few of them it’s as you say, a couple of them actually say he hardened his own heart, but for plagues 6,8,9, and 10 it’s explicitly God that did it. For me that combined with god saying clearly that he would do this, multiple times, before any of it even starts makes it clear that God is responsible for it as part of his plan. He wouldn’t want Pharaoh to just let the people go the first time they ask. What he wants is to make a big show for all of the Egyptians and Israelites that he is the biggest and baddest God and that their Egyptian gods can’t compete.
