Archaeologists have recently found coins that are specifically used by the Jews to pay for the temple tax. This is the half-shekel coin talked about in the Bible (Exodus 30:15). There have been other discoveries of this kind of coin but this is the first time it was found under the Temple Mount itself. The pile of archaeological evidence keeps piling up in favor of the Bible.

Which word? That the creation is good, or that the original translation that was flawed by the human mind was contradicted by the facts and now the lie is being exposed once again? It is time that we close Pandora's box and take a fresh new look at the information and the word provided by GOD both in the Bible and every other Religious text and what is written upon our own hearts. If one part is not true in both ways then it most likely is not a true element working for the good of man or GOD. How can we know if something is true or not? There is a whole host of examples, where would you like to begin?

I love how logic and reason so often promote faith. I hate it when people say that there is all sorts of proof that the Bible is not true. Most of those people are simply close-minded and easily persuaded. Grr. ~Jesus loves you and I do too~

I don't doubt that the bible recounts events that happened before. It is always a good thing to get data backing up and validating the dates and the people on the bible. cheers!!
