Faith is NOT a sense, not a way to prove with your eyes or with your touch. Faith is belief in the Word of God.

I D folks, take heed.

[Happy2BMe]

Hbr 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

Hbr 11:2 For by it the elders obtained a good report.

Hbr 11:3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.

Hbr 11:4 By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh.

Hbr 11:5 By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God.

Hbr 11:6 But without faith [it is] impossible to please [him]: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and [that] he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

What were the winning numbers?

FRmail me to be added or removed from this Judaic/pro-Israel/Russian Jewry ping list.

Warning! This is a high-volume ping list.

How long will it be before some imam announces that Mohammed bathed here

Mohammed never took a bath in his life. The imams will say that he pissed there.

[Alexander Rubin]

This is incredible. A great find that should enrich Jews and Christians everywhere...

[American in Israel]

How long will it be before some imam announces that Mohammed bathed here before riding his white horse into the sky?

Mohammed bathed?

[aimhigh]

I would assume that the knowledge of the pool itself was still there 200 years later

Seriously, how many people today are aware of pools that existed in 1805? There just weren't that many written records back then, expecially after Rome's onslought.

[TASMANIANRED]

It will be before the day is over.

[Alouette]

Here is a picture of the pool as it existed in the 1840's

Mohammed bathed?

Who would have guessed?

[Dark Skies]

Mohammed bathed?

Just this once, that's why it is such an important spot in Islam.

[SevenofNine]

WOW rack this find

[Blood of Tyrants]

I heard that they found Mohammed's sacred outhouse.

[Dark Skies]

Mohamhead never bathed

I was just joking but what you have said has been repeated by several on this thread. Is that true, that he never took a bath?

[Mr. Keys]

He sat there and was inspired to write the koran.

[dervish]

Worse. The first discovered pool of Shiloah in the City of David is in an Arab neighbrhood, Silwan, and the Muslims filled it with garbage and urine knowing it to be a holy site of Jews.

"After the 1967 war, these areas returned to Israel/Palestine. It was soon revealed that the ancient Jewish neighborhoods in Gaza, Hebron and east Jerusalem were totally gutted and the ancient synagogues were used as garbage dumps. (This is the situation in Gaza even today.) The ancient Jewish cemetery in Jerusalem was destroyed, its tombstones were used either for road-building or for making latrines. "
