Yesterday I saw an article saying: The Book of Joshua in the Bible is fictional! I can tell you: Not a single book in the Bible is fiction! The only book is "Job". "Job" should be the first book in the Bible. The Book of Job should be earlier than Exodus, but after Genesis. They say that the book of Joshua is fiction because they say: There really were Jericho and Ai in history! This further proves the authenticity of the Bible! I've told you this: I studied the Old Testament and the New Testament twice, and both times I had great teachers! I am a very "real" person, right is right and wrong is wrong! Why I keep saying: Friday is not Jesus crucifixed! Sunday is not the day Jesus was resurrected! These are all based on the Bible! The city of Jericho was destroyed in 1400 BC! And Ai was destroyed between 2300 and 1200 BC. What does that prove? There must be Jericho and Ai City! The city of Ai was in ruins between 2300 and 1200 BC. How do we know in which year the city of Ai was destroyed? Why was the Book of Joshua rejected? Because today’s common Old Testament searches are all about wrong chronology! Most Bible scholars say that the Exodus was about 1400-1500 BC. This is completely wrong! My correct answer is that the Exodus should be around 1600 BC!
I had an argument with the leader of our small group Bible study over Exodus! I also argued with professors many times over the Bible! All I can say is: If you don’t understand the Bible, don’t lead a Bible study! Kill those Christians who study the Bible! Do you know what the historical errors in the Bible will cause? No one believes the Bible and no one believes God is real! The Bible is trustworthy! The Bible has many visions. If we really understand the Bible, we will really see the "past" and "future", and we will have a deeper understanding of human nature! In order to argue with a professor about the book of Exodus, I once calculated every chronology of the judges in the book of Judges and listed them for the professor! The most reliable document in the Bible dates from King Solomon. King Solomon began to have historians, and King Solomon was probably around 990-1000 BC!
We can push forward: David reigned for 40 years, and Saul should also have been king for 40 years! The book of Judges is the key point. The entire book of Judges dates from about 430 years! When I finished counting the books of Judges, I discovered that Paul had also counted the books of Judges! Therefore, we can be sure of one thing: The book of Joshua is at least 1510 BC! If Joshua led the Israelites for 40 years, and Moses led the Israelites for 40 years, the correct date of Exodus is 1,600 BC! Have you ever felt that because we have been reading the Bible for so long, the leaders of these churches are all fools? Why would they give us the wrong date for the Exodus? They want us not to believe in God at all! If Joshua led the Israelites around 1500 BC, then the city of Jericho had been destroyed before 1400 BC. This has no conflict with the Book of Joshua! right? It is certain that the ruins of Ai existed between 2300 and 1200 BC, so it is also believable that Joshua destroyed Ai! At least, Jericho and Ai were destroyed in the time of Joshua. It was not that Jericho and Ai were destroyed before Joshua existed!
I am super bad at history and geography! I am a person who cannot tell the difference between east, west, north, and right. I often hear left-wing, right-wing, are these people really sick? Wouldn't you choose a better way to divide it? Isn't it very simple to go up and down? ! It’s the same from left to right! How can parallelism be good and bad? The degree of parallelism is always the same! Now everyone knows why I must let everyone know the truth? Why am I arguing with my teacher about the date of the Exodus? The Exodus must have been around 1600 BC. Why? Because the Bible mentions two key points: 1. Egypt changed its dynasty, so a new king rose up who did not know Joseph! 2. Pharaoh and his army were drowned in the Red Sea! When we look into the history of Egypt, we can find that in 1600 BC, Egypt did undergo a change of dynasties, and there was also a "female pharaoh"! Why are there female pharaohs? Do you remember that all the firstborn males and firstborn males of the livestock in Egypt were killed? In addition, the pharaoh and his army were buried in the Red Sea, and of course the "female pharaoh" was led! Let me tell you: the authenticity of the Bible will make everyone afraid! The authenticity of the Bible is more real than the "historical records" we see! "Historical Records" must meet the ruler's requirements and preferences. Many "Historical Records" records are untrue, but the Bible must be completely true. Several books in the Bible have been revised, namely "Kings" and "Chronicles"! These are all recorded by Jewish historians, so the elements that have been modified are relatively large!
In fact, the most exciting parts of the Bible are: Genesis and Revelation! Everyone knows that I like to read "martial arts novels" and "science fiction novels". I also like to read "mystery novels". I like to read novels that use my brain to think. This is really interesting! Let me tell you again: "Genesis" and "Revelation" are more interesting than martial arts novels, science fiction novels and mystery novels! I don’t read martial arts novels, science fiction novels, or mystery novels now. The only thing I read is the Bible! Why? Because we often find "loopholes" when reading martial arts novels, science fiction novels and mystery novels, I often find illogical story content. Everyone knows that the stories fabricated by these people will definitely have outrageous fictional plots. My purpose in reading the Bible now is to find out the "fictional and unreasonable" parts of the Bible! The harder I study the Bible, the more I discover: the wisdom in the Bible is “great and awesome”! God’s wisdom is beyond our imagination! The Bible really has so much wisdom! Great for those who doubt the authenticity of the Bible! At least you're not a blind follower! My favorite is people who have questions about the Bible, and by far...any time anyone has a Bible question, I'm willing to answer it! After everyone listened to my answer, most of them were very satisfied. Thank God! My geography and history are indeed messed up, I read the Bible from a rational and logical point of views!
PS. Let me tell you one more thing: What will happen in the future? Nuclear war is bound to break out! There will definitely be a "new heaven and new earth" in the future. We may all see nuclear war, but not everyone can live in the "new heaven and new earth"! If the great flood did occur in ancient times, can God give us a "new heaven and new earth" in the future?
