Liar Tucker Ignores Bible Gen. 21:12 Excludes Ishmael/Arabs ("palestinians") – Unbroken Persecution Chain Proves Jews Are the Same People, Not a Race; Halakhic Converts Equal. 1. So, the lying Tucker wants to match DNA against **what** model exactly? 2. This supposed "pro-Bible" figure conveniently ignores that God explicitly excluded Ishmael from the promised land (Genesis 21:12)—meaning Arab immigrants, the so-called "Palestinians." 3. The unbroken chain of persecution—from the Inquisition and Crusades, through blood libels and pogroms, to Stalin's purges and the Holocaust—is the strongest proof that these are the **same people**. Naturally, converts have been added along the way. The...

Say "NO!" to a Global Digital ID

The papyrus describes encounters with the Shosu people, said to stand 'four cubits or five cubits' tall, up to eight feet in height. Supporters of the theory say the text provides rare non-biblical corroboration of Old Testament accounts of giants, which appear repeatedly beyond the familiar story of David and Goliath. An Egyptian cubit measured roughly 20 inches, meaning the Shosu would have towered over most people of the era. The papyrus takes the form of a letter written during a time of war, detailing hostile terrain and military challenges.

Lately, there have been a string of biblical films and TV series that are highly acclaimed and have won audiences over with their originality and unique composition. David is one of the latest of these projects to bring the life of a shepherd boy, who later became the second King of Israel, to audiences, and more notably, children in an epic style that would, in my opinion, land itself within the realm of high-production values as was brilliantly displayed in the movie, The Prince of Egypt, for example. This story of David brings audiences of all ages together to witness...

The prophet Joel, for example, predicts: "it shall come to pass that all who call upon the name of the Lord shall be delivered" (Joel 2:32).
