No, the man who wrote Exodus says that God said that's how it's going to work. There is absolutely zilch proof that God said anything. We only have evidence that someone wrote claiming that God said something.
As the OT proves a million times, when God says something, He MEANS it
OT proves nothing unless you already believe it's true!
Yet, from the general Orthodox readings I have been showed, I would still say that there are many Orthodox who probably think to this day that the OT is very important to Christianity. It's just an impression
Most Orthodox are firm believers. As such, the OT is "true" because they already believe it is true.

Indeed. There is nothing self-authenticating about the OT.

Then as I have said before, for you there is no proof that George Washington ever lived. We only have evidence that people SAY he lived. The papers ascribed to him could easily be forgeries since no one is alive to testify as a witness. I do not find this worldview to be reasonable.

I suppose those of us who think God commands us to share the faith with others need a little more than that as a reason for our faith. :)
