FTR, The great 17th Century Biblical Commentator, Matthew Henry, agrees with you on the identity of the armies of the a/c.
He wrote his commentaries long before the advent of communism, fascism, or the EU.
perhaps.
But the important thing is that it is BELIEVED to be the Tomb of Jonah.
That is enough reason for the mooz to DESTROY it.
Just curious... has it been verified by archeologists to be REALLY the tomb of Jonah?
And Seth... now that’s really pushing it. The man lived BEFORE the flood !!
I guess that's my big issue... the entire nation has NOT fallen away from Him. In fact, a significant number of people are actively doing everything they can to reverse the liberal perversion, and are punished or ridiculed for it daily. Unlike Sodom, there are people willing to stand up against these evil scum, they just have no help from those that were elected to represent their interests.
Time to vaporize the Ka’aba, and the rest of Mecca with it.
There are two other acknowledged sites, one in Israel near Nazareth, one in Judea near Hevron, formerly under Israeli control, now Palestinian. I doubt any of the three can actually verifiec as the burial place.
Exactly.
Christianity has nothing to do with supposed graves and trinkets.
Christianity is about Jesus crucified and risen from the dead.
That’s the problem with associating sites with certain Biblical persons, there will always be people who will claim that their site is authentic.
But then other sites will claim that theirs is...
Take Mary, the mother of Jesus for example. A strong Christian tradition places her tomb in a dimly-lit church at the foot of the Mount of Olives.
The large crypt containing the empty tomb in the Church of the Assumption is all that remains of an early 5th-century church, making it possibly the oldest near-complete religious building in Jerusalem.
A competing claim is made that Mary died and was buried in the city of Ephesus, in present-day Turkey. This claim rests in part on the Gospel account that Christ on his cross entrusted the care of Mary to St John (who later went to Ephesus).
The Ephesians derived it from John’s presence in the city, and Jesus’ instructions to John to take care of Mary after his death.
However, Later, Saints Epiphanius of Salamis, Gregory of Tours, Isidore of Seville, Modest, Sophronius of Jerusalem, German of Constantinople, Andrew of Crete, and John of Damascus talk about the tomb being in Jerusalem, and bear witness that this tradition was accepted by all the Churches of East and West.
