#1 The Exodus as depicted in the Bible is the accurate account. I't not a Charlton Heston movie.

As far as Bible events being passed on by word of mouth, remember the Holy Scriptures have a superhuman origin as to content but a human history as to their writing and preservation. Moses began compiling them under divine inspiration in 1513 B.C.E., and the apostle John wrote the final portion thereof more than 1,600 years later . All 66 books are in harmony and where written as men were born along by holy spirit. So if God himself tells you what to write word of mouth is not a factor

Regarding the belief that the Bible is the word of God and the earth is 6000 years old, is the center of the universe, God made the world in 6 days, etc.... That is NOT my viewpoint. My viewpoint does not matter. The Bible answers the question and provides the proper viewpoint.

This is a common mistake. The Bible does not teach that the earth is 6000 years old and it does not teach that the earth was created in 6000 years. The Scriptures, in stating, “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth” (Ge 1:1), leave matters indefinite as to time. This use of the term “beginning” is therefore unassailable, regardless of the age scientists may seek to attach to the earthly globe and to the various planets and other heavenly bodies. The actual time of creation of the material heavens and earth may have been billions of years ago.
