A 1500 year old slab?
Am I missing something here?
Matthew 8:28-34?
I thought people spoke more Aramaic than Hebrew at the time. Then too, 1500 year old?
Jesus invented bacon?
Praise Jesus!
Sometimes reported as letting Francis be elected Pope.
It notes this was the first instance in history of Deviled Ham.
’ Miracle of the Swine ‘...
Yes...pigs do fly...
I was surprised to see you had not been pinged yet, so...Ping!
Not to rain on their parade, but if it is 1500 years old, that would be about 500+ years after the death of Christ. Just saying....
Story is misleading. I had to read it twice.
Apparently this 1500 year old slab was found at a site near where, according to an even older oral tradition, Jesus drove the demons into the swine.
The slab itself doesn’t actually say anything about Jesus.
It just confirms that yes, Jews had lived around there for awhile.
Ergo, we might conclude that ONE of those Jews might have been Jesus, so maybe the long-told story of the swine did actually happen there !
Additionally, the slab mentions a Mary, or Miriam-—common name.
Again, by simply name-dropping, the story’s author is manipulating the reader to assume, incorrectly, that it refers to Jesus’ mother.
