Book Recommendation: The Bible Unearthed
by GinnyTosken ini recently finished reading the bible unearthed: archaeology's new vision of ancient israel and the origin of its sacred texts by israel finkelstein and neil asher silberman.
here is part of a review that drew my attention to the book:.
the book reaches its conclusions from a huge array of archaeological evidence of different kinds, some quite clever, such as the analysis of camel bones; others representing new trends in field archaeology, such as settlement surveys.

Interesting essay on Mithras
by expatbrit inbeen doing a bit of reading on mithras.. this essay contains some interesting information.
count the parallels between the legends of mithras and that of christ.. one of the "proofs" given to show that the gospels must be divinely inspired is that relatively simple men of the first century could not have fabricated such a powerful mythos.
a simpler explanation is that they merely made use of thousands of years of pre-existing religious ideas, shaping them to fit their own needs, as follows.. expatbrit.

The dilema of Uncle onion.
by uncle_onion inmy dilemma.
those of you who know me personally and via the web will know that i am a studious person.
now take a look at genesis 36:31. this verse says these were the kings who reigned in edom before any israelite king reigned.. at the time of writing genesis, they were no kings of israel.

Their Time Will Come.....
by ISP indespite an abundance of evidence that hits at the heart of the wts, it should be no surprise that many seem to ignore everything and continue.
you may wonder why particularly as many of us were in the wts and did not ignore the comprehensive mass of proof against the claims and teachings made.
typically brothers can enjoy themselves as elders.

Who told them?
by aChristian inthe men who run the watchtower society tell us that jesus christ appointed them over all his belongings, spiritually speaking, in the year 1919. they point to christ's parable of "the faithful and discreet slave" found in matthew 24:45-47 to support this teaching.
my question for jehovah's witnesses is how do they know that he did?
did christ tell them he did so while appearing to them in a dream or vision?
