Impact, scale, subject matter, time of authorship, depth or length are not relevent to whether something is accurate.

There is no evidence for any or anyone’s divinity.

The Bible, in Numbers 21:25-26, describes Moses attacking and taking the Ammonite city of Heshbon. Archeology shows that there was no such settlement, let along a city, prior to 1200 BC and would not have been around during Moses’ life.

How ludicrous to claim that just because they haven't found something yet, it means that it didn't exist.

Archaeology can show no such thing. It can show if something DID exist by finding the remains, but can't show that something didn't exist because it didn't find the remains.

Honestly, if this is what passes for logic and reasoning by evolutionists, it's no wonder they think that the ToE is watertight.

Again = I have not been trying to argue that the Bible proves the divinity of Jesus.

But you ignore it.

I have been saying that the Bible is true and accurate in its historical record - which spans thousands of years, thousands of individuals, hundreds of cities, dozens of “rulers” or leaders who are mentioned in historical context with great detail along with dates given with great detail.

Thus REASON says such an accurate work of this magnitude and impact demands a verdict of truth on ALL it asserts.

Does this “all” include the deity of Jesus Christ? OF course it does. But it is REASON that says such a judgement is warranted.

And, that is only ONE Reason - but it is a big one,

Don’t be afraid to really investigate

The Bible’s author is not afraid of challenges to the Bible’s accuracy - on ALL its subjects.
