Cool stuff. I love ancient Archaeology, history, findings and antiques. Can’t afford it, but love it.

Can't be; those are in a warehouse, somewhere...

[and was acquired by an Arab who set it in the floor of his courtyard. Over many years, foot traffic wore down some of the letters at the center of the slab, although the forms are still discernible.]

They can trample the 10 COMMANDMENTS under their feet, but the WORD OF THE LORD LASTS FOREVER.

The two-foot-square marble slab, inscribed in early Hebrew script, probably came from a synagogue destroyed by the Romans between 400 and 600 CE AD, or by the Crusaders in the 11th century, according to Michaels.

"CE" is just a way of denying the divinity of Christ. It is a lie.

Seeing the 10 Commandments on three tablets reminds me of that scene where Mel Brooks, as Moses, comes down from the mountain holding three tablets and says, “Behold I give you 15 ...” (drops and breaks one tablet)..”TEN Commandments!”

LOL that’s it! He’s such a comedic genius!

It’s the 9 commandments, they switched one out.

I’m thinking it’s really a coffee shop menu.

Samaria was the home to of the Samaritan sect, known by Jewish tradition as the “converts by lions,” based on an account of their forced immigration under Assyrian rule from an unknown origin, and their embrace of the local Jewish God for protection from the lions that roamed their new habitat.

Proverbs 26:13

The lazy person claims, "There is a lion in the road! There's a lion in the streets!"

Ten Commandments = the ministry of death carved in letters on stones

Actually, it was originally 15.

I’d hate to find out what the five lost ones are. I hope Football isn’t mentioned....

I was just thinking about that as I woke up this morning. My husband is British and we go there often. I had to ask what BCE meant on inscriptions in museums in London. When we lived there in the 80’s, I was struck by the lack of religion around the country. Still lots of ‘old’ churches, of which the British are very proud. And yes, there a some who are still believers in Britain, but the Socialist Governments of Europe have done a good job of making religious people irrelevant. And many are cowed by the ‘intelligentsia’ who are faithless. If you are a believer in Europe, you are demeaned. At least that was my experience.

Well, guess what? That all depends upon one’s point of view. If one is Jewish, then by definition you deny the “divinity” of Jesus - there is only one Divine Being, G-d Himself. All the rest of us humans are just that, humans.

You may (and clearly do) disagree...but that is YOUR P.O.V., just as the other P.O.V. is that of every believing Jew (and has been since the time when our cousin, the carpenter, walked the Earth).

That was a fantastic scene, I still smile when I think of it. The little “Oy!” when he dropped it was PERFECT. The “missing tablet” explains all of our problems. :>)

I am reminded of Jeremiah 3:8 And I saw, when for all the causes whereby backsliding Israel (Samaria) committed adultery I had put her away, and given her a bill of divorce; yet her treacherous sister Judah feared not, but went and played the harlot also.
