100,000 Documents from 2000 years ago prove Bible is Accurate!

EXCLUSIVE FROM PROF. CLIFFORD THIES, Ph.D.:

NBC NEWS REPORTS:

Scientists have revealed insights from ancient scrolls buried by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius nearly 2,000 years ago, after an AI breakthrough helped uncover some of their secrets.

PROF. THIES WRITES:

During the 19th Century, it was argued that we have no reliable sources concerning the Bible. By similar argument, we have no reliable sources for Plato or Aristotle, of Homer, or of Alexander the Great.

All we had for any of these texts or persons of history, were copies of copies, and frequently translations of translations.

Actually, even two hundred years ago we had a variety of artifacts: engravings in stone, surviving coins, and ancient ruins. But, what to make of the Bible and other texts from the ancient world?

Then, over the past two hundred years we have recovered more than 100,000 documents from the ancient world. You are sure to know of some of these:

1) The Dead Sea Scrolls


2) The Egyptian Oxyrhynchus Papyri


3) the clay tablets of Mesopotamia

The circumstances of the preservation of these ancient texts are amazing. Who would have thought that being covered over by a volcanic eruption could be a way of preserving an ancient text for two thousand years?

The truth is we know a lot more about the ancient world today than we did two hundred years ago.

For example, modern Bibles usually footnote a few verses that crept into the Bible over the centuries, not being in the most ancient and reliable manuscripts. But, just a few. The overwhelming majority of the Bible has been affirmed by the recovery of ancient texts.

The obvious conclusion is that what we have of the Bible and of many other ancient texts is credible. That our scribes have served us exceedingly well. And that critics of the Bible were engaging in prejudiced and self-serving speculation.
The validation of our ancient texts has given credence to folklore, oral histories and other methods of communicating from one to another generation, especially when corroborated by artifacts, by geology and other evidence.

The validation should affirm, at least to some extent, the wisdom we have received from the past.
