The question
What evidence do we have that the traditional site of Mount Sinai in Sinai is the mountain where Moses received the commandments? Is it possible to believe in other sites? I believe archaeologists have found much more evidences in other sites like Gabal al-Lawz in Saudi Arabia. We know from Galatians 4:25 that there was a mountain called mount Sinai in Arabia?
