> When I first joined here, I said that I had been raised Christian, and believed that a vast majority of the bible is true. I still do and I am not ashamed of it.-I'd like to compare notes about belief in the Bible. As a Jew I know only the OT well, having read Mark in the NT. I know that Israeli archeologists have worked to prove the historical facts in the Torah, and have found the City of David outside the walls of the Old City of Jeruselem. I've walked that dig. i understand that the walls of Jericho have been unearthed in recent years. So much of the history is true. But things like Jonah in the whale, or Job; just stories that make a point. For the NT I'd like to hear what you accept as true, if you do accept portions of it as true history.
