But the Smithsonian would (I assume) accept the fact of the nation of Israel in the land of Canaan, the presence of a temple in Jerusalem, the existence of a Jewish presence, etc etc.
I would assume, yes, that they would reject the miraculous claims of the Bible, but they’d accept the non-miraculous history of the Bible.
I’m not asking you to become an atheist, just to become a Biblical Christian by dropping the things that have deceived you, and to receive the True Jesus.
“For by grace you are saved through faith,
and that not of yourselves,
it is the gift of God,
not of works, lest any man should boast.”
Thanks for your concern, but I know in whom I have trusted, and it’s not in the arm of flesh. It is in the grace and power of my Savior, even Jesus Christ my Lord.
You worship him according to your own conscience, I will do the same.
That’s enough sandbox playing for me, enjoy yourselves.
For by grace you are saved through faith, and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God, not of works, lest any man should boast. Ephesians 2:8, 9
