Another way in which we can know is
the fact of archaeology.
The spade of the archaeologist has turned up
many things that have proven that it is
the Word of God.
Now, for instance, there are those that many
years denied the Mosaic authorship of the Pentateuch
on the basis that writing was not in
existence in Moses' day and for that reason
why he could not have written the Pentateuch.
You haven't heard anyone advance that theory recently,
have you?
Well, of course not.
Now, for years the spade of the archaeologist
has turned up writing that goes much farther
back than Moses, so that is no longer
a valid argument.
And then we find that the spade of
the archaeologist has turned up again and again
evidence of that, the city of Jericho and
the walls that fell down.
Now, there has been some argument between Miss
Kellogg and the fisherman who first excavated there,
but I think that it's pretty well established
that walls fell down.
And I'll let them debate about the time
and all that sort of thing.
I believe that the Word of God has
been substantiated there and in many other ways
archaeology has demonstrated the accuracy of the Word
of God.
And many of the manuscripts that have been
found do that.
It's quite interesting when these Isaiah scrolls, Dead
Sea Scrolls were found.
My, the liberal leaped at that because he
thought he found an argument that would discredit
the Bible.
It's quite interesting how it has not discredited
the Bible and it seems that the liberal
has lost a great deal of interest in
the scrolls, the Dead Sea Scrolls that were
found.
There are many ways in which we could
go into this.
This is a field into which I do
not care to enter at any great length.
