1 | Is Rahab's home still standing? | Josh 2:15 | Dacajunwolf | 148091 | ||
The only thing that remains of ancient Jericho is a mound or "tel" where the city once stood. A "tel" is a small hill that is the result of many habitation layers on top of each other. This was the time before bulldozers and people apparently found it too much trouble to remove the older ruins, so they just built a new house on top of an old one. The old houses would become useless after a while due to the rain. There are parts of a city wall and rampart on the southern side of the tel. At the beginning of the 20th Century, when this wall was first dug out, archaeologists wanted to believe that these were the walls that Joshua conquered. But it was later proved that they are 1000 years older. Now it is thought that there are no remains at the tel of Jericho from the time the Israelites arrived in the Promised Land. About this the debate still goes on. |

2 | Why is Acts 8:37 in KJV and not NIV | Acts 8:37 | Dacajunwolf | 132961 | ||
I also cannot endorse anything published by Chick Publications for the reasons mentioned. The differences in texts between the KJV and most contemporary texts has to do with manuscript text-types and variants. A good starting place for (accurate) information on the issues involved is http://www.bible-researcher.com/ | ||||||
3 | Jesus in the flesh..what does this mean | Matt 1:23 | Dacajunwolf | 132959 | ||
(NASB)John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. (CEV) John 1:14 The Word became a human being and lived here with us. The WORD was GOD...the WORD became human (NASB)John 1:18 No one has seen God at any time; the only begotten God who is in the bosom of the Father, He has explained Him. (CEV) John 1:18 No one has ever seen God. The only Son, who is truly God and is closest to the Father, has shown us what God is like. (CEV) Philippians 2:6 Christ was truly God. But he did not try to remain equal with God. 7 He gave up everything and became a slave, when he became like one of us. |
