Just the Bible. The article was based entirely from what is written in the Bible.

It's unfortunate that since my post, the article has been place behind a subscription wall.

I believe "based upon" can mean complete misconceived upon.

There's evidence to show Moses pbuh was in Saudi Arabia, we know his Father in Law, Jethro was the high priest of Midian, (Saudi Arabia).

We know Moses pbuh fled Egypt with Pharaoh in pursuit with Hundreds of Thousands of people. Did he head towards Midean where he had lived with Jethro for 40 years?

On the cornerstone:

It sure sounds like a physical Temple with a special cornerstone:

Isaiah 28

28:16 So this is what the Sovereign Lord says:“See, I lay a stone in Zion, a tested stone, a precious cornerstone for a sure foundation;
the one who relies on it will never be stricken with panic. <<<<It's a physical sanctuary were people feel safe.

I believe he was in Egypt as well but there is no evidence that Moses added his own opinion based upon his knowledge to what God told him.

I believe I can see why one would like to think so but there is no temple and there is Jesus.

Actually no, it is independent of my belief as a Baha'i, I would reject the Christian belief of the Fall and Original Sin regardless. It is not a Jewish, Islamic nor a Baha'i belief.

I believe I agree. Paul seems to have accepted the Genesis account prima facie and I believe the evidence is showing something different. Adam was not the first person on earth so he can't be the originator of sin.

I believe that would be like a chemist putting hydrogen and oxygen together and saying it is carbon dioxide.

Or Jesus turning water into wine?

Up to 3 Million people evaded Pharaoh's army camps in the Egyptian Peninsula?

The Red arrows look like the sensible route when you consider, Pharaoh initially let them leave freely.

Exodus 14:17 shows they were told not to go to the land of the Philistines, but rather follow the route along the Red Sea.

Christians believe the route was as shown below:

Which one looks more likely?
