12 core reasons why you can trust that the Bible is God'sWord to us. Do you know these 12? Memorize these because you can use them toshare the gospel with unbelievers and doubters. Reason #8 of 12.
Here are bullet points on why it’s powerful that there are over 20,000 archaeological discoveries supporting the Bible:
Confirms historical accuracy: Archaeology verifies names, places, and events recorded in Scripture.
Silences critics: Many who claimed the Bible was myth have been proven wrong by these finds.
Validates real people and places: From ancient kings to everyday towns, archaeology supports their existence as described in the Bible.
Supports eyewitness reliability: Shows that biblical authors were recording real history, not legends.
Strengthens trust: Physical evidence backs up what the Bible has said all along, reinforcing its truth and reliability.
Here are two powerful archaeological examples that silenced skeptics:
The Hittites
Skeptics once claimed the Hittites mentioned in the Old Testament were fictional, because there was no evidence they ever existed.
In the early 1900s, archaeologists uncovered Hittite capital cities and thousands of Hittite records in modern-day Turkey, fully confirming their existence and advanced civilization — exactly as the Bible described.
Pontius Pilate inscription
Some scholars doubted whether Pontius Pilate, who sentenced Jesus to death, was a real historical figure.
In 1961, archaeologists found a stone in Caesarea Maritima with an inscription naming Pontius Pilate as “Prefect of Judea,” confirming his historical existence just as recorded in the Gospels.
