It's the extraordinary claims where the Bible breaks down. Fundamentalists typically use examples of historically accurate parts of the bible to claim that the Bible in its entirety is a historically valid set of documents, and this is plainly silly.
You mean
extraordinary claims like the the Exodus and Dead sea crossing evidenced at the Nuweiba beach site on the Dead Sea/Gulf of Aqaba along with corroborative evidence in the region relative to that Biblical account?
You mean
extraordinary claims like the corroborative prophesies of many OT and NT prophets relative to the nation of Israel being scattered globally and to return after lengthy Gentile occupation as well as it again blossoming after centuries of desolation as per Ezekiel 36-39 and others?
You mean
extraordinary claims like a latter day prophecy that all nations globally will some day have a mandated monetary system of numbers and marks as is emerging upon us as per Revelation 13?
You mean
extraordinary claims like the armies of the world being drawn into the Middle east relative to the nation of Israel and the contention of who owns the city of Jerusalem as per the OT prophet Zechariah and others?
You mean
extraordinary claims like a time when all nations will have the ability to view an event at one location simultaneously and that all nations will view and even worship via a
speaking image as per Revelation 13?
The above are corroborative, observational and externally evidenced reasons for the Bible's veracity.
Abe: I intended this message to be a response for Rahvin but mistakenly linked it to Percy's message. I suppose it will serve to address both messages.
