Soembody on another forum asked this. They feel only the Bible supports it and nothign else, confirming for them the Bible is false. I felt it would be good to ask on here for other sources and input to confirm agaisnt them that the bible is true. It coudl help them see the light. thanks:

Joshua 10:12-13

Quote:
So the Lord gave the Amorites over to Israel. On that day Joshua spoke to the Lord while the people of Israel were listening. He said,
"Sun, stand still over Gibeon.
Moon, stand still over the Valley of Aijalon."
So the sun stood still.
The moon stopped.
They didn't move again until the nation won the battle over its enemies.

Isaiah 38:7-8

Quote:
"Here is a miraculous sign from me. It will show you that I will heal you, just as I promised I would. 8The shadow that was made by the sun has gone down ten steps on the stairway of Ahaz. I will make it go back up those ten steps." ' " So the shadow went back up the ten steps it had gone down.

There are a number of miraculous events in the Bible (the parting of the Red Sea, the mass resurrection of the saints following that of Christ) that would be localized events, but the celestial things should have been visible across the Earth.

So where, then, is the record of them? Ancient cultures were scrupulous about studying the heavens--indeed, their very survivial may have depended on it, knowing when to plant, when to reap.

So why aren't these events mentioned anywhere but in Scripture?

Years ago a study was made to find out why there was some missing time. It was discoverd that it matched the Bible on this. So yes the Bible is correct.

That's an urban legend TexasGrandma.

I don't believe it is an urban legend. I believe the Bible is true.

I meant the study you alluded to is an urban legend.

You are both most welcome [Razz]

That's one thing that I came across when I was studying the Creation/Evolution debate a few years ago.

I know of no other source and can only say that the Bible says it happened.

God bless, [Cross]
