On The Reliability of The Old Testament

Why should it not be reliable? Don't we rely on ancient Egyptian writings?
Yes, besides from digging through the ruins, we learn much about ancient Egypt through the eyes of ancient Egyptians. Likewise, the Old Testament is ancient Israel's account of ancient Israel. And much of it coincides with what modern historians have discovered about it.

Much about ancient Israel that does not coincide with modern history books is not history in the traditional sense to begin with. Jesus and St. Paul, for example, taught a resurrection from it contrary to what the Pharisees taught. The corporeal resurrection of the Pharisees would and should mount its truth claims on historical documentation, and it would fall short. The new life in God, on the other hand, of Christ and the apostles defies historical documentation.

If only Christians would believe the Scriptures.
What's the proof for the 40 day flood?
Why are you asking me? Did I say anything about proving a 40-day flood?

Get a life, ya broken record ya.
Well you said "If only Christians would believe the Scriptures." So like, maybe if you could prove the Flood, that would help?

Doesn't mention a flood. You suck at this.
In every ancient culture, you will find a great flood story. Something happened back then. The Nile River, which runs thru Egypt, overflows it's banks every year.
Logic won't work on Taz.
Logic isn’t proof. Despite what you think.
Did you use logic to arrive at that, dummy?
You have nothing, don't be mad, get a clue! Cocksucker.
Hold on... I'm still laughing about your logic isn't proof comment.
Real proof rests on empirical facts, not opinions.
Logic isn't an opinion, dummy.
Of course it can be. Like your "logic", which usually makes no sense.

You know the funny thing about this thread is that those who profess to be born agains Christians are actually under the New Covanant which is the New Testament. When they accepted Christ the old was put away.
 
Humans basically don't have the ability to verify ancient history. They can't even keep the original documents written in scrolls or tablets. What we read today in its paper form are copies of copies. Usually small nations have no credible histories. The point is, God made it credibly true. History itself relies on faith to convey and to be taken. To simply put, you can't possibly verify a book of ancient history, it's out of human capability to do so. The Bible is a belief that the writings are accurate because a God is in control behind the scene. It is out of human capability to verify this either. That's why it is correctly put thousands of years ago that - you need faith to believe.
 
“A lot of the stories in the Old Testament are in fact plagiarized material, particularly from the rich mythical heritage of the Sumerians – the inventors of writing. The story of Noah and the flood story, the creation of man out of clay, Cain and Abel, the gardens of Eden, the tree of knowledge, creation of Eve from Adams rib, and numerous other myths, like the throwing of Moses in the river after he was born, are all but stories found recorded on Sumerian clay tablets dating 5000 years back in time”

… This has long been common knowledge amongst the scholars of history, archeology and anthropology, but I find it extremely necessary today, in the so called information age, to drag it out of the academic realm and expose it in the open before the public eyes.
