I guess I didn't understand what the History Channel was. I thought the channel was about valid history and science with shows about ancient Egypt, ancient Rome, ancient Greece, the middle ages, the American revolution, the French revolution etc. And shows like the universe, how the earth was made, and ape to man. Then I saw ancient aliens and the bible and so realized that's not all.
shareThe New Testament takes place during roman times. Whether or not one chooses to believe Jesus is the messiah does not take away from the historical impact the events had during that time. Even today. The Dead Sea scrolls were found in the last century.
shareThe bible is a collection of books, the new testament is a collection of various biography of Jesus, the old testament is a collection of laws, allegories mixed with history.
Joseph in Egypt and the exodus is a part of Egypt's middle kingdom history, almost 500 years prior to King Solomon.
