Hamilton, Ontario, Jan. 28, 2005 (CNA) - Canadian archaeologist Russell Adams, a professor at McMaster University has recently unearthed evidence, which helps to show the historical accuracy of the Bible.
Professor Adams and his team of colleagues have found information that points to the existence of the Biblical Kingdom of Edom existing at precisely the time Scripture claims it existed.
The evidence flies in the face of a common belief that Edom actually came into existence at least 200 years later.
According to the Canadian Globe and Mail, the group’s findings “mean that those scholars convinced that the Hebrew Old Testament is at best a compendium of revisionist, fragmented history, mixed with folklore and theology, and at worst a piece of outright propaganda, likely will have to apply the brakes to their thinking.”
The Kingdom of Edom, mentioned throughout the Old Testament, and a continuous source of hostility for Biblical Israel, is thought to have existed in what is now southern Jordan.
The group made their discovery while investigating a copper mining site called Khirbat en-Nahas.
According to the Globe and Mail, radiocarbon dating of their finds, “firmly established that occupation of the site began in the 11th century BC and a monumental fortress was built in the 10th century BC, supporting the argument for existence of an Edomite state at least 200 years earlier than had been assumed.”
The evidence is also said to suggest that the Kingdom existed at the same time David, who scripture recounts as warring with Edom, was king over Israel.
Sound Catholic teaching.
So who is your Bishop?
Clinton believes in fidelity too. I am a Catholic -if you want to mess in my yard at least be brave enough to give me your address -what religion do you practice?
Now we get attacked by other Christians. Bad enough to have the media, muslims and the rest of the world against us. Funny how much anti-Catholic bias there is in this country.
Really? Since the Church is paying out for the sins of Her clergy, what is your point?
Who is your bishop? You preach to Catholics about how we do the office WRONG and against scripture, tell us WHO IS YOUR BISHOP?
I must be talking to a wall.
If your gonna post something at least talk about the subject and stop attacking each other.
And which new bible version do you interpret?
---don't sidestep the question -Anything other than Catholic is Christianity lite... -which church -which minister -which protestant denomination?
"I must be talking to a wall. "
Why? You may certainly claim to be the sole acceptable authority, as it appears you do. That is a valid, Protestant belief.
How do you reconcile rejection of the TEACHING authority of the ordained Priesthood and Apotaloic Bishophric established by Holy Writ with your cvlaim to OBEY 100% of that Writ?
And which new bible version do you interpret?
Is there a difference?
Meaning what?
aspiring.hillbilly off topic Catholic bashing Christian Crusader of ignorance
-would it be bizzare to suggest you may be booted soon?
I remember that!
I don't think that I ever learned that, despite attending church-affiliated schools through the college level. Thanks.
OK boys and girls. Enough! Catholics don't want to go out on that skinny limb in attacking Luther.
