Re: Strongest, most direct evidence to doubt the Resurrectio
And while we are on the subject, what is the best evidence that Luke Skywalker is Darth Vader's son? Or closer to the point, how do we know that Spock's body and soul was resurrected on the Genesis planet? How we do know that the Klingons didn't substitute a rogue hologram of Spock? Warmly, Jay Ras...

Re: Canaanites, Amorites, and Hittites in History and the Bi
More from showmeproof on Tweb: Quick correction from the OP. The Shasu are not mentioned on the Mernetaph stele, but rather on the Moabite stone. The Mernetaph stele is the earliest Egyptian reference to a specific people known as the Israelites, and speaks of the pharaoh's triumph over them "I...

Re: Canaanites, Amorites, and Hittites in History and the Bi
This part of a series of posts on Theologyweb.com concerning the topic of this thread. The discussion was led by 'showmeproof' who did considerable research on this subject.

Re: Would you vote to disband all religious cults that can o
All who are victimized in some way want a government that is tyrannical in enforcing laws that it is mandated to enforce. Anything less would be injustice. Or do you think law enforcement should be an arbitrary whim where judges or police can just do as they like and not as the government has dicta...

Re: Biblical City of Sodom?
The archeological and geologic evidence for these ruins and other related sites in the region record a natural catastrophic event, which is likely what was described in the Bible. The problem with ancient worldviews is that natural catastrophic events were given supernatural causes. The Bible probab...
