Black Christians : The Sons Of Abraham

THE BIBLE'S ARCHAEOLOGICAL EVIDENCE:

(1900=Abraham, 1700=Joseph, 1447=Moses, 1000=David):

What has become evident over the last few decades is that unlike the difficulties found with the Qur'anic evidence, the most fruitful area for a confirmation of the Bible's reliability has come from the field of archaeology, for it is here that the past can speak to us the clearest concerning what happened then.

Because Abraham is honoured by both Christianity and Islam it is interesting to look at the archaeological evidence concerning his time which is now coming to light in the twentieth century. What we find is that archaeology clearly places Abraham in Palestine and not in Arabia.

1) Abraham's name appears in Babylonia as a personal name at the very period of the patriarchs, though the critics believed he was a fictitious character who was redacted back by the later Israelites.

2) The field of Abram in Hebron is mentioned in 918 B.C., by the Pharaoh Shishak of Egypt (now also believed to be Ramases II). He had just finished warring in Palestine and inscribed on the walls of his temple at Karnak the name of the great patriarch, proving that even at this early date Abraham was known not in Arabia, as Muslims contend, but in Palestine, the land the Bible places him.

3) The Beni Hasan Tomb from the Abrahamic period, depicts Asiatics coming to Egypt during a famine, corresponding with the Biblical account of the plight of the sons of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob'.

Nice going. Now, if you learn geography as well as you have learned archealogy, you could go places.

Your comments here, Brother Adurattln, are a perfect example of Sister Destee's call for a "HIGHER STANDARD" in our
exchanges with one another.

Now, here, you have made this PERSONAL.

You have engaged in a "nice-nasty"/passive-aggressive attempt to insult me.

Yes, you have every right to disagree with the source that I posted, but you do not have the right to insult me.

You have every right to refute anything from that source I provided, but you do not have the right to use it as a
BACK-HANDED slap at me.

And, if I returned to you what you've given me, then we'd have a pretty ugly situation going on in here.

So, is that what you want?...Do you want me to sling mud with you?
You want me to stoop to your level? You want to provoke me?

Well, whatever the case, I don't know what your problem is with me; but whatever it is, it is YOUR PROBLEM, not mine.

So, how about you CHECK YOURSELF, re-read the "GROUND RULES - CHRISTIANITY STUDY GROUP", and maybe then, you and I can have a discussion about the "Sons of Abraham" or even this source like a intelligent, mature, and RESPECTFUL Black man and Black woman.

And, you re-read The Bible.

wow.

Hmmmm.

That explains A LOT.

Well, never mind.

I can see clearly now.

Please disregard my previous post as I will disregard the rest of yours.
