[b]The Lord My Portion[/b][i]by Watchman Nee[/i]The sum of thy word is truth; and every one of thy righteous ordinances endureth forever. Psalm 119.160. After the translation of a certain Assyrian tablet, people enthusiastically reported that the Old Testament history was now being verified by that tablet. This is really turning things upside down. Does the word of God need any verification? Let us clearly understand that if the record on the Assyrian tablet coincides with that of the Bible, it only shows that the tablet has no historical error. And if they do not agree, it merely proves that the tablet is erroneous. In a similar way, if the teaching of science agrees with the Bible, the latter verifies the truth of science. But in case they do not agree, the Scriptures attest to the falsehood of sciences hypothesis.
