Yeah....most people know Nazareth but Sepphoris is virtually unknown in the pews of churches worldwide. The distance is not 4 miles...more like 3 kilometers. There was a road directly from Nazareth to Sepphoris and it's believed by most that this city (always having construction projects) was...

Actually the title is a work in progress. The study trio is meant to be easily consumable. It is not supposed to dumb things down or talk down to people. But it explains how to vet resources by looking at publishers and researchers and authors. Researching those people briefly and...

A library of resources that I have accumulated over the years. Some are electronic books and some are regular tree killing books.

Writers write because readers read, singers sing and musicians play... Chefs cook Artists paint Runners run God gave gifts that we enjoy using. It's never a bad thing.

Yes it's correct to a certain extent. What it doesn't address is the size of Nazareth or the attitudes of its residents or of others about its inhabitants. And this resource likely will not discuss its relationship to Sepohiris (major city) . Nazareth to this day is a "blink city". Not...

Actually I'm writing a lesson plan on how to go about the process of hermeneutics. Three in total. One is the book, one is lesson plan, and one is student guide. One chapter is dedicated to relying upon what we have in modern translations as being accurate. How and why we have translational...

Hopefully I'm correct....we haven't sent the book off to the publishers yet. And I recently have restudied this just to write this out not a week ago. It's at the editor's desk now. The thing I read was that Jerome wanted to completely retranslate the Old Testament into a new Latin version...

And when viewed in a particular way.... We can see that God himself has stopped us from destroying ourselves all this time. He purposefully has caused delay after delay to stop us from destroying ourselves. The ONLY hope we have is that God will cause yet another delay and He is not weary of...

Quite honestly this has played out over and over again. The whole Tagumim/Hebrew vs Septuagint debate got Stephen Killed. Separated Paul and Barnabus over who was "right". Barnabas went home and missed out. Uggghhhh. So close yet missed the opportunity. Jerome vs Augustine in "received...

And you are still missing the point. We are so doomed. Ears to hear and eyes that see are in Short ssupply. Always have been...but we would think it's different today. And unfortunately it is...and not in a good direction. Cancel Culture is chosen over admitting the possibility of being...

And this discussion proves that people will literally do whatever mental gymnastics necessary to prove popular opinion over verifiable facts. Nevermind the written records, nevermind the rocks, nevermind the city's ruins, and nevermind the truth....they will stick with an error regardless of...

You are talking about cedar beams. Cedar beams were used to create roofs. They did not have sawmills. Metal products were exorbitantly expensive. They were not going to ship in wood from far off places just to build. They would use the vast amounts of available stone to build with just as...

Vetting resources for authors, biases, and accuracy is necessary these days. Because with hype and propaganda people will buy anything. Not to be politically persuasive but the Harris campaign currently has yet to publish a platform. Her polling numbers are just slightly below Trump. Her...

Tyre had the port. And yes, they too were built out of stone. Ephasus was also a port city until the harbor filled with silt. The people of that day used a combination of natural features that they enhanced with stone to create docks for the ships. Tyre's port though washed into the ocean...

I keep forgetting the second "t".... But what resource are you using? Not all resources sold or given away for free are viable. Especially ones that are retail focused, denomination focused and not scholar focused. There is literally a complete library of research on Sepphoris because it...

When the Bible was first translated into English the Latin word Tekkon was translated as carpenter because it was general construction labor in that neighborhood. Stone masonry was a high skill trade. However the construction projects by Rome around Nazareth in Sepphoris was actually...

What if human rights were removed from a specific group based upon racial, physical, or religious values? Would that be an atrocity that would cause you to take up their cause? If we all of a sudden said that Methodists and those of German descent were not human anymore. Perfectly acceptable...

Gen z is definitely a disaster waiting to happen. We had boomers who are all retired and been retired. The youngest is what 64 now? Then comes the Gen X crowd. All had two parent incomes and left to their own devices way too much and parents who were former hippies so what little...

Well all but the last one I'll agree with. Stop is relative....it never will stop completely. We are still having the original influenza from WW1 break out in locations. So popular opinion is a bust....that's the focus of this thread. These may be popularly believed....but not true...

Thinking caps are going to be required for this discussion. What popular opinions are different from verified facts? Let's give an example: Many people have an opinion that Jesus was a carpenter. However archeology and history both prove that a construction worker in the places that...
