Subject: Torn veil of Mat 15.38 the literal veil? |
Bible Note: Cheri, thank you for taking the time to answer my question. I'm very grateful that God has grafted me into Him! I agree that not every single thing in the Bible is corroborated by external sources, and that this doesn't mean it didn't happen. If it's in the Bible, it DID happen. Right now I'm studying Exodus with friends and have learned that the exodus of the Israelites from Egypt is not recorded in Egyptian history. We can think of a number of reasons why it isn't, though. Your examples are interesting - I had not heard those before. By the way, in no way was my friend disbelieving the Bible or trusting in any resources that would destroy the credibility of the Bible. She is as genuine and committed a Christian as I and as dedicated a student of God's word. That doesn't necessarily mean we agree on every single thing, of course. |
