    Christian Angel Network

    An AngelNetwork provides funds for start up businesses usually as seed funding. The business needs to be a money maker. If you've watched Shark Tank you get the idea of what it is people (the world) calls an "angel." In other words, they are investors and they usually want some of your equity if...

    Peer to Peer Based Lending, has anyone here tried it?

    There is a program called Mosaic for funding solar projects that has something like a loan and return program and there are several crowd funding programs if what you want is to start a business. For business loans you can write a promisory note to whomever you want with equity as security...

    Board of Advisors

    Fourteen years ago I developed an idea for reaching the lost and unchurched over the internet. I jumped into it prematurely back then but now I am thinking of forming a board of advisors for the company and restarting it. The potential for evangelism and charitable giving is unprecedented, yet...

    archeological discovery of 10,000 BC temple

    That is a good summary of this. I do see God's hand everywhere I turn. It is my faith disposition. Others will no doubt interpret the data differently. None of us has all the data. However, I do find that wall painting from the German Documentary particularly compelling. If that is, indeed, a...

    archeological discovery of 10,000 BC temple

    To me it just sounds like smart people bending over backwards to deny creation ex nihilo by an uncreated creator. They stuffed time into space in order to accomplish it. The only reason God has no beginning is that His existence extends into the forever past. He always was. And He always was...

    I am aware of the 11 dimension string theory. It is way beyond my ability to comprehend. What I can comprehend is how to caculate odds. I have awareness against all odds. I am alive. Sweet! Yes, well whether you or others agree or not, I believe that time is infinite, and did not begin...

    archeological discovery of 10,000 BC temple

    I do not believe you have comprehended what I have said. But your last statement about fitting a square peg into a round hole may be an idea I can take up on that would help explain it. And that is to say that what is impossible for man is not impossible for God. You say that "before" time God...

    archeological discovery of 10,000 BC temple

    I have contemplated this issue. Here is a spin most people have probably not heard. It starts with God's unlimited power. And it mingles with God's demonstration of His great love. He demonstrates both at the same time by removing time at the creation of man, and rather than placing man within...

    archeological discovery of 10,000 BC temple

    As the OP I don't mind some amount of thread drift so long as it can somehow come back to the topic. Discussion of old vs. new earth seem relevant because it is based on these that various assumptions are made that feed into how we interpret geological, paleological and archeological evidence...

    archeological discovery of 10,000 BC temple

    I agree with this approach. The basis of my own opinion is on a documentary I found that is in German. I am not sure if this documentary is from Klaus Schmidt, or from other Germans. I do not speak German. All I can understand is the pictures. I may be making a mistake by assuming that the...

    archeological discovery of 10,000 BC temple

    I believe that the Bible is true in its autographs, and I agree with Jesus, who said that the Scriptures cannot be broken and that every jot and tittle would be fulfilled. On the other hand, I don't think there are inconsistencies between what we find in the Bible and what we will find outside...

    archeological discovery of 10,000 BC temple

    I think the best source for understanding fulfilled prophecy was written by Justin the Martyr around 165 C.E., Dialog with Trypho, a Jew. There were many others with many other insightful observations. But I think it is best to start with the earliest sources, and that would be Justin. That way...

    archeological discovery of 10,000 BC temple

    For those who believe the Bible is true, except for five days, there is no such thing as a "Pre-Adamic world." Not so sure what you mean about the Shroud of Turin. This is definitely another thing. I have no opinion about the Shroud, pro or con. I got the picture from the German Documentary...

    archeological discovery of 10,000 BC temple

    There is nothing ambiguous about the cross being a T shape. And the figure of a man being crucified on it is indeed depicted there, along with the animals that are also placed there on the reliefs. But the painting on the wall of Calvary gives the clear meaning. Mary and John at the cross of...

    archeological discovery of 10,000 BC temple

    Yes, it was before the Law. But the Law is a teacher. The purpose of a temple is prophecy. It foreshadows with types and figures the things which are to come. There tends to be a confusion among many that the temple was efficacious for salvation. The Law is only perfect because the Law is...

    My understanding of the problem with Carbon 14 dating is that it assumes there is an equal amount of new Carbon 14 being introduced into the atmosphere as there is Carbon 14 being depleted through half-lifeing. Apparently measurements show that there is currently more being introduced than being...

    archeological discovery of 10,000 BC temple

    In 1994 a place of worship was uncovered about 50 miles north of a place between the Tigris and the Euphrates river once called Beth Eden. The name of the archeological dig, which many academics are proclaiming the most significant find ever, is called Gobekli Tepe - (pronounced Gobeeklee...

    I think I may be getting there. I thought this would be easier. The river looks large. Anyway, apparently Baalah has been associated with Al Mughar. And Al Mughar was the scene of a battle with the Ottomoans in 1917. So there are some Military Maps. And those usually focus on terrain. Here's...

    Yes, I've spent a lot of time on both of these sites. Other rivers are mentioned. I think it may be the Ayalon River, but Tel Aviv seems to be farther north of where the river I'm looking at outlets into the Mediterranean. The Mountains should be a clue. Zehcariah 14:4-5 “4In that day His...

    Boy Lulav, you sure are a helpful angel! And I pray your medical problems will go away fast. I have found a plethora of map sites and resources as one site has led to another and I've been doing key word searches, etc. I also downloaded a BibleMapper Program so I could create my own maps...
