Hm... a Canadian finds evidence of Edom. Moose! Cheese!

[Raycpa]

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.”

Yeah, sure. Like that is going to happen. The revisionists don't like what the bible says so they have to undermine it.

Thank God that He doesn't notice our labels but judges us on our faith in Christ! I believe that faith extends to believing the Bible is the Word of God and I don't need the historical proof. However, I am glad that the historical proof is there for those who need it. Thanks for the post.

The stones do indeed cry out!

I'll be more impressed if any archaeological evidence is ever found to support the Jews being held in Egypt as slaves, the Egyptian empire being brought to its knees by a series of plagues.

Emphasis on the word evidence - ping.

"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."

I think this is all amazing! (And predictable!) Human weakenesses and mistakes are finally being corrected.

[Ciexyz]

Good news bump.

Here we find evidence to prove somethingin the Bible and most of what I have read are posts confronting each other and no real comments on what the article was about.

If your gonna post something at least talk about the subject and stop attacking each other.

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.”

Just don't forget: The anti-biblical critics are working from assumptions not established fact. And they are as prejudiced as anyone else.

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.

I think these Canuckistanis are going too far. I've seen The Ten Commandments and The Greatest Story Ever Told, and I'm certain that the events in The Bible took place in California and not Canuckistan! Next thing you know is they'll be claiming Bullwinkle as their own!

[Red Sea Swimmer]

Moses was real. Noah was real. Abraham was real. King David was real. Isaiah was real. Ezekial was real. Zecharia was real etc. etc.

The "Old" Real Testament is real !

BUMP

What is interesting to me, is that everyone is throwing scathing accusations at everyone else when obviously there were a lot of people doing a lot of NOT thinking when posting. Frankly, and I speak as someone who was born and raised Catholic, that technically speaking from MY experience, we were never allowed to READ the Bible ourselves nor were we ever allowed to have a personal relationship with God or Jesus Christ, as we were required to go through the Priests of whatever Parish one belonged to (I've belonged to six in my lifetime, both in Illinois and in California)and that the Priest would act as a liaison between myself and God. This, of course, was church doctrine, and something that was widely taught. Anyone that gets their hackles up because people are criticizing their doctrine and start thumping their Bibles in response, must realize it does no good..nor do those doing the criticizing getting up on their high horse to put others' down because of their beliefs. Now if ANYONE here is in God's perfect image, then let he throw the first stone. Frankly, I see a lot of Pharisees, but of course that's just IMHO.
