Shasta Bible College Professor Tom Meyer, likewise referred to as the “Bible Memory Man” just recently composed a book describing how historical discovers even more verify the Bible.
“We do not require archaeology to show the Bible's real,” Meyer just recently informed CBN News. “The Bible bases on its own. It's absolutely reliable in all good manners.”
He described that Christains are typically challenged with ministration and sharing their faith, particularly when talking with individuals who declare that the Bible does not have authority. “You understand how it is if you're sharing your faith, or you're evangelizing,” Meyer stated. “If you inform somebody, ‘You require to think the Bible due to the fact that the Bible states it's real,' you're going to get some pushback.”
Meyer thinks it's great to understand “various apologetics” that direct one to the Gospel, explaining that archaeology keeps “exposing brand-new details from the pages of the Bible.”
“Bible archaeology has actually offered us a tsunami of proof that we currently understand– that all these individuals existed,” he stated. “But we have evidence of their names. … I believe 50 to 100 individuals [who are] discussed in the Bible, that individual's specific name– King David, Isaiah the prophet, King Hezekiah, et cetera– we discovered their names and historical things, which … shows the dependability and the precision of Scripture.”
He likewise described about specific discovers surrounding King David and his kingdom, including that there wasn't clear extra-biblical proof of King David till 1994.
“We discovered in 1994 … King David's name on a monolith in eviction at Tel Dan, which is the north pole of Israel,” Meyer stated. “Ever given that then, we've been getting these little drips and drops of details about King David's kingdom and et cetera.”
In 2023, there was another finding relating to some forts developed by King David. “When they dug in Jerusalem, they discovered a huge moat,” he stated. “A moat that dates from the time of David, a protective stronghold right in the city of Jerusalem.”
