Does the bible support reality?
Its a book of parables and fables and allegories based on fact that are supposed to give inspiration to make one a better person.
Anyone that takes the bible literally is nuts.

Read Rohl’s book before you spew ignorantly. If you’d done any actual research...even cursory, you’d not embarrass yourself.

Completely agree.

Besides, the advocated child slaughter in 1 Samuel 15: 2-3 doesn’t seem divinely inspired.

“Anyone that takes the bible literally is nuts.”

That comment in and of itself is literally nuts - and grossly uninformed.

"Experts" once claimed the city of Ur was a myth. Archeaologists found Ur in it's Biblical location.

"Experts" once dismissed the book of Daniel as a forgery. The earliest known copies were written after the events clearly described in it's "prophesies." Later, copies of the book of Daniel predating the Prophesies were found.

lefty-lie-spy, are you an Expert?

People have the 'right' to believe whatever they decide to believe. I can't wait for the day when people that ridicule the WORD of God get a front row seat and find out how far out in left field they literally are.

You are partly right. Some books of the bible contain parables and storys to make a point. Other books are song books or books of poetry. But several books are historoical record and serve no other purpose other than to record an historical account. It is from these historical books that archaeology links to. A prime example is the books of 1 & 2 Kings. and 1 & 2 Chronicles. Which list bloodline vs. time spans and lists major events and battles and where and when they occured. Dry reading to be sure. but when you do the math it come out right.

As far as I know, every city referenced therein has been found, except two: Sodom and Gomorrah.

1 Corinthians 2:14:

But a natural man does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually appraised.

1 Corinthians 1:18:

For the word of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.

You are living proof of the absolute truthfulness and absolute inerrancy of the Word of the Living God.
