Thought it might be fun to list some of the evidence for biblical events and people that has been found over the years. Please contribute!

When breaching this topic in another thread, I got two opposite answers: RD's response is pretty clear, it seems, and Clete's can be justified as God merely allowing a lying spirit to do what a lying spirit does. But Doug McBurney had a show where he thought God lied sometimes, and the Titus...

This came upon another thread and I had to read it a couple times Both of Tambora's posts (this one and the next in the other thread) about this say essentially the same thing, that the phrase "who is, and who was, and who is to come" refers to Jesus Christ. While that is true a few verses...

I’d like to talk about the target audience of the non-Pauline epistles, if anyone’s interested. It seems to be fairly high on the response list for MADs, so I hope it’s ok to post here. I’m not trying to dissuade anyone from the MAD point of view, at least not intentionally in this thread...

This came up in another thread, and I'm moving here to discuss in more depth. In particular @JudgeRightly, @Clete, @Leatherneck, and @Right Divider all made some response. I'll try to respond to each in time, but I'll start with JudgeRightly. My position is that when someone is dead, they are...

I thought this made sense, until I realized they were charging the kid as an adult. Thus, they are saying both that he’s responsible for what he did and he’s not responsible for what he did...

I'm curious about how common a practice is that is used by the human resources department at my current and previous jobs. It seemed to start with the introduction of "sexual orientation" to the list of protected classes. I have a hard time agreeing with the policies, because it runs counter to...

I’ve brought this topic up before, but I was inspired by a @Bob Enyart radio program to take this alternative approach (though I don’t think Bob agrees with my view). I’m proposing that death is not to be defined as “separation from God”, which is traditionally the Church’s view admittedly, but...

Remember how half the Capitol Police were letting Trump supporters enter the Capitol, and the half were firing flash bangs into the crowd of women, elderly and children? Coming to a state near you...

But I agree with the blame going to Trump, and I'm willing to give a pass to those who want to count it as a Covid death. I'm glad to see it. https://www.theepochtimes.com/us-executes-virginia-gang-killer-despite-covid-19-infection_3658221.html

Hi Sherman . I feel like the thread, https://theologyonline.com/forum/politics-religion-and-the-rest/religion/exclusively-christian-theology/2732006-death-and-how-to-comfort-the-family, had a lot of potential. The two main views were indeed evoking bickering, but both were bringing out relevant...

A good friend's wife passed away last year. The phrase I heard most during the funeral as the attendees, including her surviving spouse, was some form of "She's in a better place now." She was a believer, so I don't think the phrase was forced, but I've been wondering how valid that phrase is...

If the bible gives wisdom for all occasions, then it should be able to handle this: Let's say, for argument's sake, that Global Climate change is a fact, and that it is caused by humans. What then should we as Christians do about it? I'll suggest up front that while some of the secular...

I'm starting this thread to keep from clogging up another one (What is the Gospel? started by Sonnet) with rabbit trails. These are two responses I had to a post or two in the other thread, and I wanted to answer them without hijacking Sonnet's. For now, I'm just starting the thread as a...

This was lifted from another thread (about flat earth and fake moon landings) where it didn't really fit the topic. Ask Mr. Religion, always a good source for biblical information, brought up that the passage in Joshua 10 about the sun standing still can only refer to a geocentric...

From a conversation with Jerry Shugart (here), there was a disagreement about whether God was really threatening to destroy Israel and raise up a nation from Moses, or if it was an idle threat just as a test of Moses. Here's the passage (with the primary verses for this conversation...

I'm looking for what people think about our resurrected bodies. I'm a bit argumentative at times, but I will try to refrain a bit here. I mainly would like to hear opinions and I would like to know the biblical basis of your opinion.

One of the arguments against Open Theism is the section of Isaiah that deals with Cyrus--even naming him by name as the chosen vehicle for rescuing God's people. The argument goes like this (from Bruce Ware as quoted by http://www.gfcto.com/articles/theological-issues/isaiah-40-48--open-theism)...

I should probably apologize up front for this,--for asking a question that's already answered elsewhere, but I couldn't find it. I read once, from a Calvinist, that one good thing that has come from Open Theism is that it destroys Arminianism. My questions are: Who said/wrote it (I'm...
