When pondering the question of the deity of Jesus, a person may need to consider the possibility that another reality exists beyond the natural world. This is where faith comes in, reasonable, logical faith that is; not blind faith. 

Do you remember the song "Ball of Confusion" by The Temptations? I sure do. It was the summer of 1970 and I was a sassy 15 year old high-school student wearing a purple, fringed, beaded, leather pouch tied to the beltloop of my bell-bottom jeans. I was playing pinball in one of the restaurants on Mandalay Avenue when this song came on the radio.

Egyptian tablets (such as Dilbat, Mari, and Ebla) and artifacts such as scarabs and statues attest to personal names and place names found in the Patriarchal narratives.

God gave Moses extremely precise instructions for the construction of the Ark of the Covenant in Exodus 25:10-22. It was built to hold the tablets of the Ten Commandments and it represented God’s presence with the Israelites during the wilderness years. It contained three sacred items: a pot of manna bread from heaven, stone tablets inscribed with the Ten Commandments and the rod of Aaron with a fresh bud on it. These sacred items represented the Triune God, i.e., Father (stone tablet) Son (rod of Aaron with fresh bud) and Spirit (manna).
