Old TESTAMENT Archeology
The Bible records the history of God’s interaction with mankind. We therefore should be able to verify events that occurred. The question we should ask is, “Are the historical claims validated in facts outside the bible?
The Koran for example writes about Jesus 600 years after the events with conflicting claims about historical events. The “Book of Mormon” also claims to be a book with a historical basis. To this day no claims from the “Book of Mormon” have been archeologically verified. So if a book cannot be proved “True” on a historical basis the logical question would be, why would it be true on a spiritual basis? In this way the logical test of Truth can be validated “If what a prophet proclaims in the name of the Lord does not take place or come true, that is a message the LORD has not spoken” Deut 18:21
So by comparing the evidence and facts with the claims we can build the case for the validity of the Bible to a skeptical world.
