    What evidence is there for the historical events of Exodus, David, or Solomon?

    That is true. Let me ask you this - how do we know what the cause of Sin is?

    What evidence is there for the historical events of Exodus, David, or Solomon?

    I agree. Ultimately the relationship with Chris is the end all be all. What I am not understanding is - how can you hold that the Old T Thanks for your reply. I think I am going to just finish reading the Bible before continuing this discussion. I have read the New Testament and from Gensis to...

    What evidence is there for the historical events of Exodus, David, or Solomon?

    I am going to reply to both of your most recent comments here. This is a very interesting stance to me. Let me summarize and make sure we are on the same page. So all of the miracles that Jesus performed in the New Testament did objectively happen and we can trust the the Gospels are true...

I am not opposed to a non-literal...

    What evidence is there for the historical events of Exodus, David, or Solomon?

    Thank you, this is also what I think and I would say this makes the most sense in light of the lack of physical evidence. The issue that this view leads to in me is the validity of the rest of the Bible. If the consensus is that Moses, David, Solomon and the events leading up to them are...

    What evidence is there for the historical events of Exodus, David, or Solomon?

    Frankly the question I want to ask if "How do you deal with there NOT being any evidence for any of that" or "How do you make sense of archaeological evidence directly contradicting the Old Testament (the size of Israel/Jerasulem under David & Solomon for one).". I cannot stop thinking about...
