What does it mean to have a personal relationship with God? Who or what is God anyway? How can a person have a relationship with someone or something that is invisible, intangible, inaccessible, and possibly unreal? Is God the “Force” that Obi-Wan Kenobi from Star Wars says is: “an energy field created by all living things. It surrounds us and penetrates us; it binds the galaxy together.”? According to the Bible, God does bind the galaxy together through His Son Jesus Christ, see: Colossians 1:17 “He is before all things, and in him all things hold together.”
Knowing God Personally
King David
Skeptics argue that King David is about as historical as King Arthur. They believe there are no records of his existence outside of the Bible. In the last few decades archaelogical excavations in the Holy Land have uncovered physical evidence that supports the existence of King David and his line of Kings.
Jerusalem Temples
Is there any legitimate evidence to show that Solomon's Temple (957 BCE - 586 BCE) and Herod's Temple (516 BCE - 70 CE) actually existed? Did they exist in Jerusalem or in another city such as Nablus?
Major Empires
Archaeological evidence has corroborated many of the civilizations and cultures described in the Bible, including the Hittites, Canaanites, Egyptians, Assyrians, Babylonians, Persians, Philistines, Moabites, Edomites, Ammonites, and Syrians. For instance, archaeologists have found that the ancient city of Ramesses, mentioned in the Biblical account of the Exodus, flourished for centuries during the second millennium B.C..
