LIGHTNING CRASHES MEANING TV
This is all to say that the narrative against Biblical claims is pervasive and is found everywhere including newspapers, documentaries, TV shows, lecture halls and even song lyrics in popular bands such as LiVE. Thus, all the recent journalistic pieces about the Canaanites being exterminated are just patently false according to the Hebrew Scriptures themselves. The Asherites lived among the Canaanite inhabitants of the land because they did not drive them out. Nor did Asher drive out those living in Akko or Sidon or Ahlab or Akzib or Helbah or Aphek or Rehob. Neither did Zebulun drive out the Canaanites living in Kitron or Nahalol, so these Canaanites lived among them, but Zebulun did subject them to forced labor. The first chapter in Judges lists areas in which the Canaanites persevered. The Biblical account regarding the Canaanites does not lay claim that all the Canaanites were exterminated, since they survived Joshua’s invasion. Although the findings of the genetic lineage with modern Lebanese people and the Canaanites are indeed fascinating, there is a small problem. Journalists, more than ever, have been attacking straw men and have lacked serious rigour in their reporting (all this is aside from the endless fake news propagated by mainstream media). In this case that the Bible has wrongfully claimed the Israelites wiped out the Canaanites three examples can be found here, here and here. The opportunity commonly seized by journalists is to show that “science” yet again disproves one of the many claims of the bible.
The Israelites were commanded by God to exterminate the Canaanites (Deuteronomy 7:1-2 20:16-18). Take the recent discovery that Lebanese ancestry share 90% or more of their genetics with the Canaanites, who biblically, were considered to be arch-enemies of the Israelites. It seems that our culture in its ever increasing narrative against anything biblical and supernatural must be something that should be doubted, if not scoffed at.
