HI there! :wave: There are two reviews written on Kitchen's book in BAR, the July/August 2005 issue with a rebuttal posted by Kitchen concerning the comments in the review. Perhaps that would be of interest to you. ~serapha~

Hi there! :wave: The July/August 2005 issue of BAR has an article on the progress on recovering relics from the illegal Temple Mount dumps, (see page 14-15). For those that don't subscribe to that magazine, similar information may be read about this excavation attemp here...

Hi there! :wave: Coins came into being about 600 BCE. Before that time, money was measured by weighing the gold or silver, but someone with real "brains" came up with the concept of minting coins with a universal weight. I don't know that there are any coins in the Bible that have...

Hi there! :wave: I viewed a video tonight concerning people who claimed to have experienced out-of-body episodes where they saw or experience "hell" in a very literal sense. Interestingly, all the people who gave testimony were athiest before their out-of-body experience, but each...

Hi there! :wave: You are, of course, entitled to your opinion. ;) If it's a poll, I still vote for the garden tomb. ~serapha~

Hi there! :wave: I would like to quote a couple of statements from BAR, Nov/Dec 2004, page 18 concerning the "cave" of John the Baptist... "In fact, few, if any, scholars in Israel think this cave has anything to do with John the Baptist" "The discovery is nevertheless extremely...

Hi there! :wave: Well, the Jews didn't really "give" the Temple Mount to the Muslims... for a history of the Temple Mount.... http://www.sacredsites.com/middle_east/israel/jerusalem.html ~serapha~

:D We see Israel in different ways... you imagine Israel as being desert as near Jericho or Qumran... but remember... in ancient times, the area around Jericho was heavily wooded, and because of deforestation, it is now desert. I see Israel in relation to rocks... while most people...

Hi there! :wave: The doctrine of the deity of Christ is the greatest doctrine.... http://www.versebyverse.org/doctrine/deity-christ.html After confirming who Jesus Christ is/was... the next greatest doctrine is the doctrine of salvation...

Hi there! :wave: I suspect that you were expecting "desert" instead of a beautiful green valley... Here's desert for you... down by Qumran. If you look at the "lacey" design on the first thumbprint, that pattern is seen all over the sides of mountains and hills in the desert... it...

This forum wasn't created for theology. Therefore, perhaps your comments on theological interpretaion of scriptures belong on a theology forum rather than to continue to use the biblical archaeology forum to support your personal theology. ~serapha~

HI there! :wave: but that particular apologist does not agree with your previous posting... he doesn't believe that Q was Christ... or at least, that is what I gathered in reading his work a few months back. ~serapha~

Hi there! In contrast to what you posted, QUOTE=:paxigoth: I don't believe in a literal 6-day creation. I believe that the Word of God IS the Word of God, given to us by Divine direction, and that the Word of God is to be taken literally in every circumstance unless there is...

Hi there! :wave: Scholars don't appear to agree with your interpretation concerning the ark reference in Revelation 11:19. Thayer identifies that as in Hebrews 9:4, the ark is the ark of the covenant as in the Temple in Jerusalem, but also identifies that the...

HI there! :wave: My question was straightforward and to the point, and you have side-stepped the issue by throwing in "red herrrings". I stated: "Actually, there is no "evidence" of you use of the Matthew passage to support your claim. Do you have any instances where the winnowing fans...

Hi there! :wave: The Word of God teaches that God created Adam and later formed Eve from Adam's body. The Hebrew text indicates that the word used in the creation of Adam was that of an original kind, while the word used concerning Eve was one of being formed, but not in the original sense...

Hi there! :wave: And the archaeological proof for your statement is? ~serapha~
