A stone seal bearing the name of one of the families who acted as servants in the First Temple and then returned to Jerusalem after being exiled to Babylonia has been uncovered in an archeological excavation in Jerusalem's City of David, a prominent Israeli archeologist said Wednesday.
According to the Book of Nehemiah, the Temech family were servants of the First Temple and were sent into exile to Babylon following its destruction by the Babylonians in 586 BCE.
"The seal of the Temech family gives us a direct connection between archeology and the biblical sources and serves as actual evidence of a family mentioned in the Bible," she said. "One cannot help being astonished by the credibility of the biblical source as seen by the archaeological find."
The find will be announced by Mazar at the 8th annual Herzliya Conference on Sunday.
The archeologist, who rose to international prominence for her recent excavation that may have uncovered King David's palace, most recently uncovered the remnants of a wall from Nehemiah.

Selective acceptance standards. . . :rolleyes:

no selectiveness at all...........all I stated was..............one IS supported by the Bible, the other one is NOT.....
it seems to me that the truth is hard to swallow for some people... :razz:
Jesus Tomb thing was and is not supported by the Bible.......it is only supported by a theory....
this one IS supported as the Bible stated..... :yes:

The lost tomb is supported by the bible too; until you get to the son of Jeebus! :wink:

Back off PH and Locotus! We all have the right to our own beliefs. I think it's rather disrespectful to push aside Henry's enjoyment of this finding--especially in his own room.
Behave!

So, you don't even want to see any type of discussion what so ever. That's disappointing.

An intelligent verbal (or written in this case) joust is most welcomed when it is approached amicably and with respect.
Henry posted a topic that is appealing yet joustable (is that a word?). I think he is wanting all to post questions or doubts but since this is HIS room, and not posted in the Rough House, we should all behave with decorum, correct?
Poking fun at Henry is ok as long as you pose a legit question or topic relating to the post at hand.
Ahem! :wink:

Henry and I have a rapport; he understands me and I understand him. Henry knows I wasn't besmirching him in any way shape or form. Henry would have told me if I had done so, and I trust Henry enough to have faith in this belief. (Faith. You know what that is right?)
Henry is my friend, and just as this gives him license to admonish me when I am a bad horse, it also provides me with license to provide him with opportunities to stretch his beliefs and understanding of others perspectives.
This is not always painless for either one of us, but we have trust. And that makes all of the difference in the world to both of us. . .
Henry is my friend.
I consider him my online friend too. :yes:
Doesn't mean I can't give him some crap from time to time. :razz:
Tallulah, thank you for your concern, I DO appreciate it.....but, PH is correct, we do have a great relationship, as I do with many on here....I don't take too much offense to these guys, If I did not feel any respect from these guys, I would have probably left a long time ago.........that is what I like about this place....is that, it is not only a forum, but has become an important part of my day...(that is sounding kind of scary) :spooked:...i consider most of the folks on here part of my forum family..... :smitten:
I have learned alot on here....i have become more open minded, on SOME issues....and on some issues, MORE stringent than ever....I have been challenged.....and I have confirmed my stances even more so, because of that...and I have even lighten up on some too....
and like locutus said...........we GOT to give each other some :icon_twisted: crap from time to time.. :yes:
It is because of people like yourself that are honest and caring, that makes this a fun and interesting place....and I can honestly refer to many on here as my friend also... ;) :) :smitten:

yeah, this is more conclusive evidence between an archeological find that supports that of the Bible....it is also believed that Ark of the Covenant is buried under the mount....
