If you are asking for historical evidence outside of the Bible that tells us that Ruth was real person, who once lived in Moab or that there was a man namd Elimilech who moved his family from Bethlehem to Moab, the answer is no. Why can't the Bible's historical account be accepted as true on its own? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are asking for historical evidence outside of the Bible that tells us that Ruth was real person, who once lived in Moab or that there was a man namd Elimilech who moved his family from Bethlehem to Moab, the answer is no. That's a summary of the story, and I certainly am asking for that. But I'm also asking for historical evidence of every detail of the story, including dialogue between the characters. Why can't the Bible's historical account be accepted as true on its own? I can't accept it as true on its own because accepting something without corroborating evidence is a poor way to judge its truth value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see that you are a seeker.That is your choice to except the facts of the Bible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you are asking for what you already know is outside of our reach. There is historical corrobation for many events that are recorded in Scripture, but to ask for evidence of every single detail is a bit unreasonable and like I said, you already know that, which is why you asked for that.

Yes, every detail. For those that claim that every book and detail in the Bible is absolutely true and unchangeable in it's inerrancy , holding their claim to that very high standard is reasonable. Why do you think it's unreasonable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do you think it's unreasonable? Do me a favor, you are asking for the conversations. Find them in the book and post them here for us. You do have a bible at hand do you not?
