Why do Christians trust the Bible?

[Minimalist]

Hmm cool insight.

However you're comments on hebrews in Egypt and mt sinai is not verifiable unless we had a time machine or more proof

Oh yeah and this doesn't prove anything , just wanted to write-
The pentateuch is only some history. Half of it is instructions on how to act. The real history starts in Joshua. Just wanted to put it out there.
10th century BC hebrew- it's on the gezer calendar in pheonician or proto hebrew

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phoenician_...escendants

The Paleo-Hebrew alphabet, used to write early Hebrew, was a regional offshoot of Phoenician; it is nearly identical to the Phoenician one. The Samaritan alphabet, used by the Samaritans, is a direct descendant of the Paleo-Hebrew alphabet.

The Aramaic alphabet, used to write Aramaic, is another descendant of Phoenician. Aramaic being the lingua franca of the Middle East, it was widely adopted. It later split off (due to power/political borders) into a number of related alphabets, including the Hebrew alphabet, the Syriac alphabet, and the Nabataean alphabet, which in its cursive form became an ancestor of Arabic, currently used in Arabic-speaking countries from North Africa through the Levant to Iraq and the Gulf region, as well as in Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan and other countries for other languages.

Hair-splitting for your bible, now.
