SIGH......................!It would have to be. There was no historical jesus, either
An evangelist who tried replicating Jesus' miracle of walking on water has reportedly drowned off the western coast of Africa.
Pastor Franck Kabele, 35, told his congregation he could repeat the biblical miracle, and he attempted it from a beach in Gabon's capital of Libreville.
probably but it would be interesting to hear his side of the debate. i know that antiquities is a booming business as forgeries abound and any unsuspecting tourist is taken but what would the ramifications if the james ossuary turned out to be genuine?I bet the $9.95 helped convince Shanks!
it is another sad tale about someone who does not 'test the spirits' when they get these revelations.He told churchgoers he'd had a revelation that if he had enough faith, he could walk on water like Jesus," an eyewitness told the Glasgow Daily Record.
of course these volumes are the ones secular researchers rejectb. WRITTEN MEMORIALS. The Bible itself stands first in value as the chief
source of Jewish archaeology. Next are the works of Josephus and Philo,
which are of great service; then follow the Talmuds (q.v.), and the Rabbins
(q.v.), whose statements must be used carefully (see Meuschen’s N.T. ex
Talmud illustsr. 1736; Lightfoot, Hor. Hebr. Cantab. 1658; Schottgen,
Hor. Hebr. 1,733-1742; Wetstein, Annot. in N.T. Amst. 1751). To these
may be added notices respecting Egypt, Persia, Judaea, etc., found
occasionally in Greek and Roman writers, especially Herodotus (see
Hupfeld, Exercit. Iterod. 1, 2); next, Xenophon, Diodorus Siculus, Strabo,
Pliny, Plutarch, Tacitus, Justinian, give illustrations of the customs of the
times, particularly useful for the elucidation of the N.T., although they are
very much given to misrepresentation of the Jews.
