Preserving the Word of God in the Garbage
from Buzz King: Grace & Joy thru Scripture · host BuzzKing
We consider an ancient landfill found in Egypt - which contains the oldest known New Testament fragments ever found. We look at the very negative view that the ancient Jews had of garbage or refuse of any kind and what this means for God choosing to preserve his most ancient New Testament Word in a landfill. We also consider a man I once met who worked in a landfill and how ashamed he was of his work. Little did he know that he worked in the sort of place that has become beloved by archeologists and is a primary reason why future generations will have no choice to trust that the New Testament Word of God is real, not faked, not forged - and very dependable.
