BR Strengthens Faith

I have read your magazine for the first time. I find it a great tool for strengthening our Christian faith these days. I thank God for your devoting such time and effort to such a publication.

Suing Pharaoh

I’m glad that you printed a story about Nabil Hilmi’s laughable proposal (“Moses & Co. on Trial,” Jots & Tittles, December 2003) to sue all the Jews in the world for the value of everything the Bible reports them to have taken when they escaped Egyptian slavery. In my opinion Hilmi has shown so much malice he deserves to have his suggestion widely published so that sensible people can laugh at it.

Has this law school dean considered the Pandora’s box he would open if he pursues this lawsuit?

If Hilmi accepts this biblical account, he must also accept the report that the Children of Israel were so mistreated as slaves of Egypt that divine intervention was necessary (Exodus 2:24; Nehemiah 9:9). A countersuit for compensatory and punitive damages could amount to a sum even greater than the 1,125 trillion tons of gold Hilmi demands.
