Thanks Barry, very interesting.

I know of even stronger evidence that David and Solomon were Kings 1000 years before Christ. That evidence is the historical writing of the Bible. The Bible does far more than claim it is possible that they existed, but in fact says they did exist.

I find it simply astounding that most men consider all writings as evidence of historical facts, even those writings that tell of cyclops and women with hair of snakes; but claim the Bible is not evidence of historical fact.

They consider the writings of Roman and Greek historians to be accurate, but claim the Bible is not. Their claims make the Bible UNIQUE.

So they reveal The Bible to be a Book like no other. Just as today one can tell of Muhammad, Buddha and many other religious figures, but one can not even mention the Name of Christ. This reveals to us that Satan is real and he only fights against One Name. That is The Name of Jesus because Jesus is the Only ONE that can save.

Satan fights against The Bible, but accepts the Koran, and all other religious books. That reveals to us that The Bible is the One Book about The Truth and these others are about lies. Satan only fights against the Truth. If Satan fights against it, then it is The Truth.

Thank you for this, brother. I'm having just such a conversation with someone. I consider all of this proof, but he does not. He wants proof that unbelieving men will accept, like Thomas wanted to put his hands in the wounds of our Lord. It seems to me we rarely get that brand of proof, I surmise because it isn't born of faith: the evidence of things not seen, the substance of things hoped for.

Real proof is there for those who will really seek after it. The Bible has been PROVEN with mathematical proof by the leading mathematician of his day. He was an atheist and set out to prove that the Bible was not from God. What he found was far more proof than most of our scientific theories that we hold as proven have. His name was Ivan Panin and I have about 12 of his books. The mathematical odds of the Bible not being written by God is so remote to simply be impossible. If I piled white marbles 10 foot high all over the earth and put one red one among them, what would the odds be you could close your eyes and pick up that red marble on the first try. The odds would be better than the Bible not being written by God.

What kind of proof do you think it would take to convince an atheist mathematician ? He was totally convinced by the evidence he found that he became a Christian. Of course our so called Christian churches did not accept his evidence and that is why you have not heard of his books. They judged this evidence while being ignorant of how to even calculate mathematical odds. That should be very clear evidence of just who runs many of our churches. If I remember correctly his proof was 43,000 pages long. It was reviewed by a team of mathematicians and they could find no mistake. He was given an award for his work by mathematicians. They understood his work and could see it was true. This kind of math is NOT hard to understand and learn to calculate. Anyone that really wants to know the truth and requires actual proof has no excuse to not learn how to do this math and read his books.

There is no evidence that will convince those who do NOT WANT TO BELIEVE.

Look at the pharisees; Jesus raised the dead right before their very eyes and they simply said it was from Satan and not God. God spoke out loud from heaven, and they said it was thunder. Jesus rose from the dead and they said someone stole His body even though they had posted guards that would pay with their life if they allowed anyone to steal the body of Jesus.

The only ones that the truth is revealed to is those who are really seeking the Truth and really want to know The Truth; and are humble enough to ask God to reveal the truth to them.

Amen Lou. As you have written before, only those who will humbly admit to Christ that they are blind, will see - in this case, the truth.

Yes, Jesus said He came for the sick:

Matthew 9

¹⁰ While Jesus was having dinner at Matthew’s house, many tax collectors and sinners came and ate with him and his disciples. ¹¹ When the Pharisees saw this, they asked his disciples, “Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?”

¹² On hearing this, Jesus said, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. ¹³ But go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice.’ For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.”

Many think Jesus came ALSO for the sick. No, Jesus came ONLY for the sick.

If a person is sick and thinks they are well, a doctor will do them no good. For if the doctor gives them medicine for their sickness, they will not take it, for they think themselves well.

Jesus came for those who are aware they are sick with sin. Everyone is sick with sin, but only a few are aware of it.

Jesus came to call sinners. Jesus did not come to call the righteous, there are none that are righteous. Only God is righteous.

What is being righteous. That is being like God. No one is like God and no one can be like God.

Satan thought he could be like God when he said, I will be like the Most High. Thinking you can be like God, is being like Satan.
