Is the Holy Spirit Misleading You?

The Egyptians were masters at erasing their own history. Pharaohs would blot out anything they disliked or went against the things they believed. The 25th Dynasty was headed by black Pharaohs (Kushites), when the Egyptian people took back their kingdom they erased everything about the black Pharaohs that they could find, names included. The Bible however was outside their control and in it is mentioned a black Pharaoh by name, oh goodness the Bible more realistic in telling history than those Egyptians that erased or rewrote history. How are we to trust Egyptian history when we do not even know what is reality of history of the rewrite of history to suit a Pharaoh's pride.

It's much, much more than that.  If the Hebrews were in Egypt, then there would be some archeological evidence of that, and, indeed, there is none, an untenable proposition, as there should have been some artifacts from just outside of Egypt, from the Hebrews leaving.  Again, find me a scholar who takes the Exodus story at face value who is not also a Biblical inerrantist (an absurd position equivalent to Holocaust denial), and post their findings and/or reasons here.  All the evidence is that the Biblical narratives were written much later than was traditionally believed and underwent layers upon layers of redaction and modification up until and even beyond the 1st century of the common era.

Why would I even be interested in those who do not believe in the Bible or even those who partially believe it. There is no proof of redaction of scripture, no one that I know of has ever shown that anyone tried to obscure the meaning of scripture. We believe there was some small additions in the NT but nothing that changed the meaning of scripture. No proof has ever been given of the scriptures being written other than the time period they occurred or, in prophecy, before they occurred. Until the original documents are found this want happen either.  Just what do you think might be found "just outside of Egypt," as you say. Only a few Israelites entered Egypt and they grew in population from those, this is plainly stated in scripture. So anything and everything they had would be of Egyptian influence, so looking for traditional Hebrew artifacts wouldn't help. God sent them to Egypt to grow His nation of chosen people and took them out to show them His power and for a future reference to His redeeming power through Christ.
