Archaeologists find 3,100-year-old pottery bearing the name of biblical judge

[Meister]

And Jerrubaal was probable as common then in that area as Mike is in ours during our times. This Jerrubaal--likely isn't your Judge Gideon.

That would be your assumption, Turtlesoup?

 

[Turtlesoup]

The flood has tons of evidence, just a matter of time for the rest. Region was left unexplored until after WW2.

No---the world wide flood actually has evidence AGAINST it not for it. Floods leave an incrediable amount of evidence--they scar the earth when they occur. There has never been a world wide flood.

That would be your assumption, Turtlesoup?

Jurrabaal means he who defend Baal.

No---statistical fact.

The issue of one of the many names listed in the bible coming up before has occured often --with bible thumpers getting all excited. But as we all know, names aren't unique to each person. One name could be anyone....

Read about the Tigris and Euphrates. There are no canyons. It's flat.

So?
And they’re not flat.

 

[surada]

So?
And they’re not flat.

You been there? I have.

Yet the earliest records of Alex the Great are 600 years after his death, yet it’s historical fact.

 

[Weatherman2020]

You been there? I have.

You are lost.

 

[surada]

You are lost.

Do you know the meaning of alluvial plain?

They have eyes, yet do not see….

Wrong again.

 

[Weatherman2020]

Do you know the meaning of alluvial plain?

I’m too busy chuckling at you thinking two post flood rivers have to do with anything.

 

[Weatherman2020]

Wrong again.

A lot of guys named Alexander….

See how that works?

What Evidence Is There for the Existence of Alexander the Great? Quite a Lot. - Tales of Times Forgotten

One of the things that bothers me the most about the internet are all the pernicious articles claiming that such-and-such well-attested historical figure from ancient times actually never existed at all. One of the most annoying claims out there on the internet is that there is no evidence for...

This said----other sources not confirmed as being this ALEXANDER the GREAT---could be just some other alexander.

And that's why I posted earlier of the possible linkage to the Bible.

 

[The Sage of Main Street]

Israel is an archeologists playground. Ignored for thousands of years it’s filled with artifacts going back to the beginning of civilization. And every find ends up further validating the Bible.

Excavations at a site in the Judean lowlands has turned up a 3000-year-old pottery shard with the name Jerrubaal - the name Judge Gideon was given by his father - which means literally, "contender with Baal."

A name from the Book of Judges has been discovered on ancient pottery for the first time, and it suggests authenticity of the scriptures.

Thou Shalt Not Have Strange Gods

It's supremely dishonest to think that proof that someone existed verifies everything the fables in the Bible say about him.

Christofascists also do that when old cities are discovered. It's as sublimely slimely stupid as if, when ancient Troy was finally unearthed, greedy oracles would have said that the discovery verified all the supernatural events in the Iliad.

Noah's Lake

The melting of the glaciers at the end of the last Ice Age caused such big floods that the tribes confined to certain regions would consider them to be world-wide.

None at all. The Euphrates river basin used to flood 150 miles wide and 350 miles to the south. That's what built the Delta south of Basra. There's plenty of evidence for that.
..

The very mention of a great flood, and other flood myths in the region, just goes to prove that a flood occured.


After all, you need some point of reference in which to refer to such things

So it is up to you to try and determine how big the great flood actually was

Nah. I checked. He never had a page on Facebook

Not so far. There's no evidence for a global flood or the Tower of Babel or the Exodus or Joshua's battles. Ur of the Chaldeans didn't exist.

As for the Exodus, try watching this movie called Patterns of Evidence

They have found dwellings of a Semitic people, only, they assume the time line is wrong so they discount it.
