In Genesis 11:31, Sarai (Sarah) is described as the daughter-in-law of Terah, but not as the daughter of Haran, although Milcah is explicitly described as the daughter of Haran. Here, she is not described as the sister of Abram (Abraham) nor the daughter of Terah.

Later, Abraham twice described Sarah as his sister, meaning that she would not only be the daughter-in-law of Terah, but also his daughter. Abraham made those claims in unusual circumstances that could cast doubt on their veracity.

Sarah was almost certainly a descendant of Terah, and therefore either his daughter or daughter of his son, Haran. Each of the patriarchs, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob was descended on both sides from Terah. If Sarah had not been descended from Terah, this would be one break in the chain of descent. Even Jacob's wives, Leah and Rachel, were daughters of Laban and therefore descendants of Terah.

Sarah might have been the sister of Abraham and therefore of Laban, or the daughter of Laban.

no one knows the authentication of bible but also it is so authentic like your authentication proof of being you are child of one father. (witty retort, I submit to your expertise.) The best proof of biblical authenticity,I've found,is Josh McDowell's popular book,'Evidence That Demands a Verdict'. You can't put it down. The older generation might point you to 'Who Moved the Stone'.

AnswerThere is no real proof of God's existence. People believe simply because the Bible says so.


Why do some people think God exists even though there is no proof for his existence?

OpinionsWell, Jesus set foot on the earth, and He could walk on water, and do all kinds of miracles, and He says that God is His Father, it must be true. Jesus is the only known existence of God. It is actually amazing why people believe He doesn't exist. There is no proof he doesn't exist, and in fact, he does. How else were we made?There is scientific proof. They found bones of Mary, Joseph, and brothers of Jesus. They have put the Bible together of scrolls, many scrolls that were written in bibical times. Not all of these scrolls are in the Bible, though. These scrolls that were put in the Bible were the few that could be proven. That's proof of the Bible, or the Word, and the Bible said "In the beginning, the Word was with God and the Word was God."
