Too many Christians like to pretend that the bible must either be completely true or completely false, so some historically accurate place names and people is enough to justify everything.

They conveniently ignore the genre that the bible fits into perfectly that sits between the two: historical fiction.

Spiderman is set in New York, which is a real place, and the comics often get details of the place right, that doesn't mean Spiderman is real, it just means the writers and artists have been to New York.

a real ship Titanic sank and a movie was made around the sinking called "Titanic" but Jack Dawson and Rose (Main Characters in the movie) never existed even though most of the other characters shown in the movie existed and until Wikipedia I always thought Jack and Rose were real

And that isn't even getting into when the Bible gets its geography and history wrong like the Sea of Galilee which doesn't exist outside three of the gospels? It was never called that in ancient times.

You have valid points in your arguments, but you will agree with me that when we write history from the present they are bound to be mistakes, even historians knows this, but this mistakes cannot be used to totally discredit the fact

Toks2008:
I totally agree with the fact that many people expecially in Nigeria have this mindset that there is a spiritual power responsible for every unpleasant situations In their lives like unemployment, loss of job,death of a loved one,financial hardship,delayed and unfruitful marriage, barreness as so on.

The honest truth is that in most cases,we are the architect of our own life and we must brace up to take responsibility for whatever happens to us but In addition to this school of thought,we must also understand that life is being driven by two forces which are the physical and spiritual.

There have been many books written by successful people such as....

1.10 steps to financial success
2. The mindset of the successful people.
3. Step by step guide on how to make millions.
4. Think and grow rich.
5. Rich dad poor dad
6. Getting married and staying married....and many more...

Often times it always seem that the application of these principles will translate to success but in reality, principles of success as vivid as they may appear in real time application can be subjugated by principalities of life and that is why in some cases even those who apply all the principles of success of the Billionaires and achievers of the world still find it difficult to find a headway and many people who claim to be billionaires or successful usually have some sought of principality as a catalyst for success.

So conclusively,as we strive to be the best we can ever be in a legitimate way and with a clean slate,we must never forget to go on our kneels from time to time to fervently pray and possibly fast in order to overcome the principalities that may be a hindrance to the principles of success to work for us.

Remember that we live in a wicked world and when principles meet principalities of life,principles give way but when you pray and fast to remove any form of principalities that may deter you then you are most certain to have a smooth glide to success.

Ephesians 6:12.
"For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places"


Hope this makes sense.

Yes of course, even though the names and places might not be accurate the events are. Paul wrote many epistles and this manuscripts still exist till today, definitely he was written about events which is history

There will be challenges definitely, but all these powers you are talking about are just imaginations, I don't want to believe they exist.
