God sent moses to deliver his people from Egypt, but didn't he deliver his people into Egyptian slavery through Joseph?

Any archaeological evidence that it was the Egyptians? Or was it the Babylonians?

Is there any evidence that anything in the bible is real?
Speaking of evidence, what if Joseph really did rape that woman and his descendents just went with his lie and put it in their book?

The isrealites prospered because of welfare and Jesus was basically a hippy communist, so why are many modern christians so against welfare for the poor?

What happened to everyone who died prior to Jesus sacrificing himself? Do they get a free pass or is it just a "too bad, welcome to Hell"?

The traditional answer is that when Jesus descended into hell for three days after his crucification he preached to the dead at that time.

I grew up going to Catholic Bible study, they told me those souls were in a limbo. They were 'let in' the second Jesus died.

Spending thousands of years in limbo seems like hell to me. Maybe it didn't have all the fire and brimstone, but that only seems marginally worse than being stuck in a boring limbo state for thousands of years.

So was heaven just completely empty before Jesus died? If nobody went to heaven before Jesus, then the only people there would be God and the angels. Yet I am sure the Old Testament told of people who died and went to heaven. So that seems like a plothole to me.

What about people who died after Jesus but could never have possibly heard about him? For example, Native Americans could certainly never have heard the story of Jesus until the Europeans came to America over a thousand years later. Were all those Native Americas who lived between 1 AD and the European colonization of America therefore doomed to hell?

Sort of. The way I was taught was that people whom died before the crucifixion were to be covered under the new testament with Jesus where as the Old Testament was meant specifically for those of Jewish descent. So if someone up and croaked before Jesus arrived yet had lived the life of the chosen few they would still be allowed into heaven due to the new pact. I don't think it was ever clarified if they had to go through a 'waiting room' or not until it happened but... It's Heaven. I bet even the waiting room has a twelve star spa and hotel.
