Most neglect the Bible as being valid, although historically we know that Israel existed along with Babylon and many other ancient civilizations.  What most neglect to do when speaking of the Bible is to quote actual scriptures; not as it pertains to them and how they want to do things, but rather exactly how it was written knowing that we are all sinners needing to learn the perfection of our Father, and striving to overcome the vanity of our hearts.  This section, hence, will provide Biblical validation of historical truth with the presumption that I'm not infallible.  If you find fallacy in my words, by all means feel free to email me directly at [email protected] such that I can review your argument.  Please be sure to include validation via scripture, however, as proclaiming "I know the Bible", or "it was given to me" won‘t hold court.
