Oh my goodness. Archeology does support the bible. The bible does not say the earth is flat. The bible does not say the sun revolves around the earth. The bible does not say the earth is center of universe. It does not say the universe is turtles all way down.
What's wrong with you?
I just posted the leading biblical archeologist saying it DOES NOT?
You've been broken down into base denial?
I didn't say the bible said "turtles all the way down"
but
Wiki
"Articles arguing that geocentrism was the biblical perspective appeared in some early
creation science newsletters pointing to some passages in the
Bible, which, when taken literally, indicate that the daily apparent motions of the Sun and the Moon are due to their actual motions around the Earth rather than due to the rotation of the Earth about its axis. For example, in
Joshua 10:12, the Sun and Moon are said to stop in the sky, and in
Psalms the world is described as immobile.
[52] Psalms 93:1 says in part "the world is established, firm and secure".) Contemporary advocates for such
religious beliefs include
Robert Sungenis These people subscribe to the view that a plain reading of the Bible contains an accurate account of the manner in which the universe was created and requires a geocentric worldview.

Nonsense? Anecdotals are the BEST evidence for a spiritual world there is!
And i said VERIDICAL. Those rule out halucinations.
Well if the evidence is only anecdotal then my original statement is correct after all - there is no historical evidence, one can only have faith.
Because we have that type of evidence for Big Foot, Roswell crashed ufo w/alien bodies, fairies, Mothman and possibly even Superman.
VERIDICAL means truthful. Anything one sees of feels can be a hallucination without empirical evidence.
Just because someone has a hallucination, hears voices, sees an angel, whatever and decides to call it "verdical" means nothing.
Someone could claim to have had a "verdical" experience where god told them to kill a bunch of non-believers. Who cares if you call it "truthful"??
It's a damn hallucination or some such. Why do you even want to debate something so stupid?
If I saw a god appear before me I wouldn't TELL PEOPLE as if it was evidence of something???? I would go to a doctor.
And writing down a number assumes a few things. 1 that the ghost gives a crap about proving itself to you. 2, that i can control the ghost.
Both of your assumptions are wrong.
But hey, just for fun, ill take a crack gauss at the numbers. 15678. I know it isnt 15 numbers but hey, best i could do, lol.
Well you tried.
Of course when you ask people for supernatural proof they say "why would the ghost care about proof?
Well, let's see. The gospels are FULL of this ghost trying to convince non-believers, performing all sorts of magic. But the stories left behind look all sorts of suspiciously like mythology. So this ghost obviously wants to convince people of it's reality.
So I think my assumption is actually not bad - that this ghost does want to convince people.
So let's have this ghost do some magic so we can all spread the gospel.
The people back then got miracles and magic. Jesus said he would be back within the lifetime of the people in the gospels.
Most people don't believe in supernatural stuff anymore, so why not come back and convince everyone?
How about Romulus - Romulus, come back and guess my 15 digit number!
Read it. Sun staying down three days? The poles it stays down few months. Three days though? Where, what location?
Oh god. Anywhere on Earth during your winter. The first 3 days. The sun rises to the lowest point then for 3 days rises to that low point. Then it starts getting higher each day. In winter. Where ever winter is depending where on earth you are.
It's different at the poles. These sun worship reigions started in Africa, Middle East, Europe, places where the winter solstice happens.
So just ad hom the guys work in documenting, videoing raw archeology and putting historic sources together.
Yeah he's a known scam artist?? He claimed to have found Jesus and it was a fraud and he got rich off it.
Do some research, I'm tired of doing all your research for you?
Why would I need to research his work when all scholars have already done it?
this is YOUR source, you need to show it's credible. He has no phd and has been completely debunked.
I posted a great source from the leading biblical archeologist covering multiple topics on the OT and your hung up on some scam artist???
William Denver completely debunked the ENTIRE OT.
But let's say he's credible.
Well guess what his new book is?
The Lost Gospel: Decoding the Ancient Text That Reveals Jesus' Marriage to Mary the Magdalene,
So since he's so credible now we can say that Jesus was married to Mary Magdeline!! Wow, I didn't know that! Amazing!
He's my new credible source to show Jesus wasn't what the gospels say he was.
Thats the best you got huh? Why not refute the extremely compelling finds he documented?
Yeah you are right. Jesus was definitely married to Mary Magdeline.
What a nice couple! I wonder how many kids they had?
Do you think she was a good cook?
All ancients thought the sun was God, right? Yea, ok then.
Once again......blah blah...we don't know what everyone thought but what we do know shows sun worship across all cultures blah blah blah.....bkah......
Hail Yahweh! He rules above the sun! Sun can kiss my ***. Yahweh is God!
Period. Yahwah created the sun.
Uh Huh. In the OT Yahweh created the sun. In Norse mythology Odin created it.
In Greece Zeus created the sun.
Wow, that proves.....uh...nothing.....except humans like to write fiction about gods in the heavens.
Things wer going so bad huh? Funny, yahwah even said "my people
Yes things were bad for the Jews
"That doesn't mean that that the destruction didn't take place and that it wasn't a watershed event. One would have thought at that time that it was the end of the people of Israel—with elites carried away into captivity and ordinary people impoverished. It would have seemed to have been the end, but it was rather the beginning. Because it was in exile, precisely, that those who wrote the Bible looked back, collected the archives they had, rethought it all, reformulated it, and out of that intellectual reconstruction comes early Judaism."
It was a bad time, they were conquered and the temple destroyed.
I Deal with the raw finds from the video. Real raw archeology dont lie.
Right and so now we know that Jesus was married because raw archeology doesn't lie.
Except the archeology of the entire OT which I posted and you completely ignored.
You just said "raw archeology doesn't lie." well there you go, read William Denvers article, exodus or not EVERYTHING ELSE DIDN'T HAPPEN, you just admitted to the reality of archeology?!?!
Do you see how bad your confirmation bias is? There is a mountain of archeology saying the OT is just a myth and one little possibility of evidence for Exodus and you're all like "YAY archeology, it's the truth!"
Yet somehow you don't mean all of the archeology in the Nova article???
I've never seen such obvious bias towards trying to make something true and completely ignoring any other information?
That guy ISN'T EVEN a real archeologist??????
Hey, your guy also found Jesus along with his wife and kids. Amazing!!
He dont know what MOST believed.
Actually he did. You just said "raw archeology doesn't lie."
Well William Denver's raw archeology has shown the common folk in the tribes were mostly polytheistic. Going house to house we see articacts of gods and goddesses in each home.
1 post ago you just confirmed the reality of archeology. Now you're trying to deny it??
Are you ill?
Yea and the ones you quote make quite alot of assumptions.
Assumptions based on facts. Sometimes we call them theories.
All proven. All sourced.
Your not proving that. Your just proving some peoples worshiped the sun. Thats it.
Yeah, solar myths go back to the earliest religious beliefs.
In fact we can see one instance of how other separate gods were formed:
"The Prophet Abraham(as) grew up in a polytheistic society and his people sought their Creator in the nature around them, but without satisfaction as we read in the Qur’an:
And when the night darkened upon him, he saw a star. He said: ‘This is my Lord!’ But when it set, he said: ‘I like not those that set.’ And when he saw the moon rise with spreading light, he said: ‘This is my Lord.’ But when it set, he said, ‘If my Lord guide me not, I shall surely be of the people who go astray.’ And when he saw the sun rise with spreading light, he said: ‘This is my Lord, this is the greatest.’ But when it set, he said, ‘O my people, surely I am clear of that which you associate with God
. I have turned my face toward Him Who created the heavens and the earth, being ever inclined to God
, and I am not of those who associate gods with God
.’ (Ch.6:Vs.77-80)
These verses illustrate the extent to which society at that time (around 4000 years ago) had fallen into the worship of celestial bodies. The insight that he was given showed his understanding that bodies that set below the horizon could not exert their influence continually over man, whereas the Creator was (and is) omnipresent. The verses show how Abraham(as) used his arguments to show his people the futility of their ancient beliefs as he had been the recipient of direct revelation; it was not the case that Abraham(as) himself had been groping to find his Creator through this process,. This is reinforced in a later verse in the same chapter:
So a separate god was created for Judaism. Now was this separate god inspired by a Egyptian god - probably -but they can't say that in the Qur'an.
It has to seem like they came onto their god by themselves.
Now just like Paul, Abraham also claimed revelation
(wow what a coincidence) to make his beliefs seem real. This is the same process with Paul and Jesus. Back then hallucinations/revelations were accepted as real. Now we know it's all made-up stuff.
So Abraham didn't like solar gods and revelationed up a Yahweh.
It would be interesting to see what other gods were around 4000 years ago, to see where he took his ideas from?
