Seal of King Zedekiah's minister found in J'lem dig
First Temple seal found in Jerusalem
Archaeologist uncovers Scriptures' famed wall
No wonder the Waqf is doing everything they can to destroy all historical sites at the Temple Mount.
I have no doubt that the Bible is a good historical text. It is to throw the baby out with the bath water to say “Well, none of these miracles could have happened, so all of it is junk”.

Together with the Greek sources like Herodotus, the Bible is one of the supreme sources on ancient Middle Eastern history. It is unique however, unlike the Greek sources, which are outsiders, as it also shows the world and soul of n oriental people.
It must be fascinating to be so closely involved with history that no one has seen for thousands of years until you un-Earthed it. Cheers to the archeologists.

Me: ?????
I used to bus tables at wedding receptions in those days. If I hear the first two notes, I have to reach for a barf bag.
Every single one of the miracles in the Bible happened and miracles greater than those are still happening today.
God said it, that settles it.
For without controversy - great is the mystery of Godliness that God was manifest in the flesh.
The baby and the bathwater are both good. The baby grows up to be a responsible and compassionate adult and the bathwater washes the baby clean for a day.
Well maybe a few hours of the day.
Well, *I* believe they happened, I was kind of mocking the atheists view of the Bible as a historical text.
Of course this Gedaliah must not be confused with the Gedaliah in Jeremiah 40, who was the son of Ahikam.
More credibility for the Bible’s historical accuracy.

Sound/smell association: The music triggers an olfactory memory of the catered "food", leading to nausea?
With me, it's "Cherry Pink, Apple Blossom White"...my name notwithstanding.
Bad bands and endless repetition. The song is junk anyway.
I wonder if these two ministers got drunk on wine one day and decided to use their seals to make impressions in the clay outside the gates... Kind of like official graffiti. Or maybe their kids were friends who borrowed their respective fathers’ seals for a day after a bit of rain and stamped the impressions into the clay outside the gate...
