This is some Ruber levels of contrast in how they look.
>>
Could Ruber beat Moses? Ruber has a plan and it includes Moses in this scenario
>>
>>152198761
>ruber turns a bunch of snakes into sticks
>moses turns them back into snakes
Stalemate

>>152198714
in the 10 commandments, ramses later brings moses in to explain that you can burn sleep-inducing drugs to put the snake into a deep sleep and then you can use a bit of sleight of hand to replace a staff with the snake

prince of egypt doesnt give the same in depth explanation, but the moment that they "turn" their staves into snakes is always conveniently unseen, implying they pulled sleight of hand as well
>>
>>152198834
Yeah and it was almost 4 hours long. The story originally has this structure.
>moses goes to pharo
>let my people go
>no
>plague
>repeat
It takes forever.

>>152198714
At no point does the Bible imply that the Egyptian priests powered were fraudulent.
>>
>>152198930
No it's a modern interpretation.
I never saw the charlton heston movie. Do the priests do a miracle in that version or is it presented as a magic trick?
>>
>>152198714
Antz and Shrek are better

They call it a "cheap magicians trick", but it looks real.
>>
>>152198930
Christians don't want to admit it but the Torah implied that the other gods were actually real. The whole intention of Moses was to show how his God was more powerful than Egypt's gods, not to prove they were false.
>>
>>152199291
They're all real, they're all the elohim, or fallen angels. Apollo, Saturn, Osiris, Odin, Nimrod, Baal, Shiva, they're all different forms of the same entities.
>>
>>152199273
Yeah more biblically accurate. The point isnt that moses is true and his miracle is real and that the priests are frauds, but that God's miracle is stronger than the egyptian's.
I always was weirded out that in poe they show the moses snake eat the others but no one noticed it or acknowledged.
>>
>>152198714
don't know what this is, why are those two jews bothering that guy?
>>
>>152199291
as a man of Christ myself I always had this thought anyway, it was surprising to see the majority of other Christians don't see it this way as well or just see it as heretical.
>>
>>152199291
They are real but theyre not real gods, is the assertion. The whole "none of them are real at all" is an enlightnement era thing and more likely a stepping stone towards atheism.
>>
>>152199256
Shut up you massive flaming faggot
>>
>>152199291
Christians believed in things like non-goetic magic and Fair Folk right up to the Enlightment.
Its a modern thing to be uncomfortable with it.
>>
What exactly were Jeffrey Katzenberg's intentions when he greenlighted Pocahontas, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, and The Prince of Egypt?
>>
>>152199359
Oscar bait.
>>
>>152199341
Shrek is definitely better than POE
>>
>>152199291

The official Christian and Jewish interpretation until recently was they used black magic. The Christian version has it he satan helping them while the Jewish has them using stolen divine names to control demons and spirits. I think the muslim interpretation is closer to the Jewish.
>>

No step on snek

Jews believed in the idea that there were many gods, and a god is tied to their land and temple, just like everyone else at the time this foundation myth took place. YHWH was the god of Judea, exclusive to the Jews, and the great temple was is "home". It wasn't until the take over of Judaea, the destruction of the great temple, and their exile, did they shift to this idea that God was everywhere, and that there was only one God, because how can they worship their god if he didn't have a home anymore, and still think he was superior?
>>
>>152199330
How would they acknowledge it? Would they get upset and start mourning their precious snakes? It's just quick imagery to emphasize how much stronger big G is than them.
It's also in the middle of a musical number so there isn't really time to anyway.
>>
>>152200057
>there wasnt time
Thats the real answer.
How would they? Just like in the 19 commandments.
Some bitch goes "oh gee his snake ate our snakes" and pharo goes "yeah cool, but i have a stately duty to not be impressed with these things.
Its just too hig of a story, and then they dint even do the whole thing. Just up to the red sea.
