(Comments by Joan Boney)
When I was in my 60's, I was engaged to be married to a man who said he was a Christian.
He said Pharaoh was on the banks of the Red Sea when the waters returned to normal and killed his men in the sea.
When I told him, this was not correct, he said, "That's what the movie made by Cecil B Demille showed."
I took a Bible and began looking this up and Howard said, "Oh ... it really doesn't matter."
(So many people who join churches think scripture doesn't really matter today.)
I continued looking this up in Bible, and handed the Bible to Howard, and had him read this scripture:
Exodus 15
2 The LORD is my strength and song, and HE is become my salvation: HE is my God, and I will prepare him an habitation; my father's God, and I will exalt HIM.
3 The LORD is a man of war: the LORD is HIS name.
4 Pharaoh's chariots and his host hath HE (God) cast into the sea: his chosen captains also are drowned in the Red sea.
5 The depths have covered them: they sank into the bottom as a stone.
6 THY right hand, O LORD, is become glorious in power: THY right hand, O LORD, hath dashed in pieces the enemy.
7 And in the greatness of thine excellency THOU hast overthrown them that rose up against thee: THOU sentest forth THY wrath, which consumed them as stubble.
8 And with the blast of THY nostrils the waters were gathered together, the floods stood upright as an heap, and the depths were congealed in the heart of the sea.
9 The enemy said, I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the spoil; my lust shall be satisfied upon them; I will draw my sword, my hand shall destroy them.
10 THOU didst blow with THY wind, the sea covered them: they sank as lead in the mighty waters.
After Howard read this from the Bible, I said, "Now what do you think?"
He said he guessed the movie was wrong.
(We broke up a couple of months before we were scheduled to be married.)
