Another Thought...

Fact and Truth are not the same thing. Many facts are not even truly provable. Take gravity, for instance. We know that every time we drop something, it will fall to the ground. It happens every time. Can we SEE gravity? Can we TOUCH gravity? No. Truth is similar, but different. Gravity exists on earth, but not on Mars. Does truth exist on Mars? Not yet. But if people were there, it would. Truth exists wherever people exist. That we should love one another is truth. That we shouldn't murder is truth. There are other truths, more obscure, but nonetheless potent. While some may dispute the factual nature of the Bible, that doesn't make its Truth any less true. If we could prove every single facet of the Bible factually, what need would we have of faith? Faith believes in what we cannot see with our own eyes, but confirms the truth in our hearts. I believe that the Bible is Truth, whether the facts support it or not. God, being sovereign, had to have known how we would progress in knowledge, so He also made it so that knowledge couldn't stand alone. There has to be understanding, as well. This is just something that occurred to me after a few hours away from my last post.
