Egyptian Execration Texts
So archeology backs up the validity of the covanent?
It doesn't discredit it. There is plenty of archaelogical evidence that events,places, persons in the book of Genesis existed. Go to your local library and check out some books on ancient Jewish/Israeli history, it's like honey from the rock :angel:

1. Which isn't the same thing. You made an affirmative claim; telling us that archaeology doesn't *discredit* it fails to support your affirmative claim.

2. And in point of fact, archaeology does discredit it. Since the Hebrews never possessed the land that was supposedly part of the covenant. You know - the covenant that you claimed you had archaeological proof for? And of course we're still waiting for you to produce that evidence?

So? The people and places in many Greek legends and myths were real. That doesn't mean that the Greek gods are real.

Pity you can't spot the holes in your arguments before embarrassing yourself with them.

Right,... good analogy there, your logic is amazing. I invite anyone to do a simple search in this museum.

The Israel Museum, Jerusalem

So? They can also do a search in a museum for items from Athens, Sparta or Troy. There are plenty of artifacts.

Does that mean the Greek legends and gods are true?

You're the one with busted logic here.

Wow, I guess the State of Israel doesn't have a right to exist as a nation. Good luck convincing the United Nations about that.

How does that connect to any of your claims?

Is that another distraction you tossed out because you can't answer the direct question about whether artifacts from Greece prove the Greek gods exist?

Of course it is. :rolling::rolling::rolling:

Ok, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob doesn't exist. So what? The State of Israel will forever dwell in it's homeland (it's called a self-fulfilled prophecy, remember?) and Jerusalem is the eternal capital of Israel.

Interesting beliefs. Got proof it will happen that way?

No. I didn't think so. :rolling: :rolling: :rolling:

Israel has the absolute right to dwell in it's homeland this very moment. The Romans conqured Israel and cast them out of their homeland around 70 AD. Did this mean that might makes right? Of course not (the Romans had the might to cast Israel out but not the right), thus Israel had each and every right to return to it's homeland the very next day they were cast out into all nations as prophesied by Yeshua ( I won't bother posting the scriptures, I don't want to be accused of preaching ). Thus Israel had the absolute right to return to their homeland in 1948. The only way you can deny this is to deny the archaelogical evidence which gives absolute proof that the Nation of Israel has dwelt in it's current homeland for thousands of years (again the Romans had the might to cast the Jews into an exile which lasted 1,878 years but no nation/person on earth has the right to deny the right of the State of Israel to exist)

Sorry; that's just another uninformed opinion masquerading as some kind of evidence - which it isn't.

Deleting the rest of your post, since it's no better than the text above. Come back when you have some evidence. :rolling::rolling::rolling::rolling:
