Anybody who knows nothing about a subject should keep quiet, and study the subject before opening their mouth, or putting their hand to writing something, to prove your are a fool. you know like in,"BE QUIET AND BE THOUGHT A FOOL IS BETTER THAN OPENING YOUR MOUTH AND PROVING YOU ARE A FOOL. The book of Esther is a real true part of GOD'S WORD AND ANYBODY WHO DENYS IT IS IGNORANT OF GOD AND HIS WORD, THERE IS NOT NEED TO REMAIN THAT WAY, STUDY AND LEARN THE TRUTH.

No, you come to try and prove that you know more about the bible than anyone else. Which is an accomplishment along the lines of knowing more about alchemy than anyone else. It may be accurate, but it is meaningless.

The dependence of Proverbs 22:17-24:22 upon the Instruction of Amenemope is obvious to anyone who has read the two side by side. And did you notice the wording of 22:17 and 24:23? "Hear the words of the wise." Even conservative scholars set that section apart as a later addition to the Solomonic collection. Andas anyone who hase read the whole book knows, Proverbs also includes the sayings of Agur (Pr 30) and Lemuel (31:1-9). "Lemuel's sayings contains several Aramaic spellings that point to a non-Israelite background."
There's no mention of or quotation from the Book Proverbs in the Bible or elsewhere until Sirach 47:7, which dates to 180 BC. It's hard to imagine that the prophets or other Biblical authors would have failed to use Proverbs as an authority had the book existed in their times. And if it wasn't around for Isaiah and company to quote, it wasn't written by Solomon, although some of the sayings may go back to him.
They quote extensively from each other and from a number of sources that didn't survive (see Nu 21:14, Jos 10:13, 1 Ki 11:41, etc.)

Hhahahaha I guess that is why I come back to this boring site… For cabaret and comedians like you. To be instructed about "reality and delusion" by a raging schizoid like you you does not have any basis nor tools for that assessment to begin with is really something special… :)

Not only did Vashti live she had the last laugh. Her son became King making her the Queen Mother.

Really? I thought that the Book of Esther is about GOD, about Him and then about Esther and the rest of people mentioned there…

If it is true why isn't credit given to God? It takes place after God had told the Jews to return to Palestine, only less than 50,000 obeyed. Why were they in exile in the first place? All the rest of the Bible is CLEARLY ABOUT GOD.

The truth is not abuse but, as a lieberal, calling the truth abuse is your first instinct. The fact is, the Instruction of Amenemope is an Egyptian document that has nothing to do with Proverbs, a book written by Solomon in case you didn't know that. Once again you prove to be a deceiver and an anti-Christ by trying to slander the authorship of the Bible. There can be no reasoned argument with a patholical liar and anti-Christ such as yourself. And, once again you quote the Bible, a book for which you lieberal liars have no respect and whom you endeavor (without success) to prove untrue, once again you prove to be a hypocrite.
