    Steps where Jesus walked and healed a blind man unearthed for first time in 2,000 years
    https://www.foxnews.com/world/steps...nd-man-unearthed-for-first-time-in-2000-years
    A new excavation project in Jerusalem has unearthed steps unseen in over 2,000 years at a place where the New Testament records Jesus as having healed a blind man.

    The Israel Antiquities Authority, the Israel National Parks Authority and the City of David Foundation early this year announced that the Pool of Siloam, a biblical site cherished by Christians and Jews, will be open to the public for the first time in 2,000 years in the near future.

    In recent weeks, archeologists achieved significant progress in the excavation, unearthing some eight steps descending into the Pool which had not been seen in 2,000 years - around the time when Jesus walked the Earth.

    Youre assuming the bible has history of the encounter right.
    We know the bible has many historical facts wrong.
    We know the bible is writen by humans.
    We know Christians believe everything in the bible is correct and is the true written word of a god.
    We know that christian facts and and non christian facts constantly clash.
    Christians believe from faith and trust and a biased mind.
    Non believers believe from adding 1+1 of numerous amounts of historical data.
    Jesus and Siloam is irrelevent and highly likely ficticous.

    Irrelevent, anyone and everyone can get healed, even chicoms, CCP, Putin, ruskies and mussies and last but least Trump. :)

  6. I thought I read about Siloam in a translation of Flavius Josephus works. It’s there in the Jewish Wars. Are you skeptical about Siloam or a Jesus?

    Skeptical of many bible stories.
    Yeah Pool of Siloam may be factual but when you stitch together a book generations after the fact, hindsight and fiction become a wonderful thing.
    Jews are people, they know how to bullshit like the best of us, they are not a bunch of lilly white people.

    OK;
    but sure NOT irrelevant to them.
    Mark Twain said if he were God many more people would get hit by lightening.
    LOL Good thing mark twain is not God.
    True '' Jews are people'':D:D
    I've had the Lord heal me, its not just a bunch of Jewish journalism:caution::caution:
    Good health to you....................................................................................

    Even me, I'm constantly criticizing Christianity, I got healed of cancer.
    All this healing and miracles stories proving God specially did something for you is meaningless, proves absolutely nothing, totally irrelevant.
