February 21

Really? Numbers? God, why do I need to know how many men there were in the tribe of Zebulun?

There is constant debate in academia regarding the historicity of Scripture, meaning, is the Bible historically accurate? Is the Bible a history book, albeit sacred, but also historical. This is an essential question because if the Bible is not historical then it must be mythological. And if Scripture is mythological then the idea of God is metaphorical. And if God is only metaphorical then morality is inconsequential. God puts historical data in Scripture to remind us that He is our greatest reality!
