Jericho Unearthed - Bible Confirmed Once Again


Can archaeology prove the accuracy of the Bible? In this video, we hear from archaeologists about what is required to make an honest and intelligent assessment about the accuracy about the Bible.

Jericho Unearthed is a new documentary which assesses the validity of the Biblical record and the archaeological evidence, using incites from Garstang, Kenyon, and many other experts.

In the 1920’s archaeologist John Garstang concluded that he had matched evidence at the site to the stories in the Bible. His conclusions were challenged by archaeologist Kathleen Kenyon who explained that when the Israelites attacked Jericho as described in the Bible, there were no walls and no city.

Historian Sharon Woods explains that there has never been any archaeological evidence of the Bible in Jericho. For that matter, the wall that does exist is Middle Bronze Age and not Late Bronze Age.
Archaeologist Bryant Wood explains that “you have to come to a conclusion based on the evidence, not on what the authority figure says”.

What all of these archaeologists, scientists, and historians seen to have in common is that, you have to use concrete evidence and not the stories in the Bible to arrive at your conclusions.

The Many Misconceptions About the Bible: A Video Outlook


Modern people have many misconceptions about the Bible, which was a social commentary written and revised over a considerable period of time. I must admit, I am one of those modern thinkers, part of the time at least, who believes that ideals dealing with faith can sometimes be skewed when it comes to written texts.



So what do you think about these interpretations in the video? Do you believe what is written or do you rely on reason to form your ideals?

Where to Find the Best Algebra Tutoring


Algebra can be traced to the ancient Babylonians who developed and advanced the arithmetical system , making them able to do calculations in an algorithmic fashion. The Babylonians developed formulas to calculate solutions for problems typically solved today by using linear equations, quadratic equations, and indeterminate linear equations.

Sounds complicated doesn’t it? It doesn’t have to be, trust me. Over the years, I have struggled with Algebra, above all other subjects in my life. I never had the Algebra help I needed to get through the subject with a satisfactory grade, and I think that stemmed from a hearing problem I had as a child. The problem was that I would sit in the back of the class because I was embarrassed to answer any questions.

After stumbling through the subject and not making the grades I needed, I looked for an Algebra tutor for some assistance. I looked online for Algebra 2 help as well as Algebra tutoring, and I found a fantastic site that had all of the necessary tools to get me through the subject with flying colors.

With the help of an online algebra tutor I was able to maintain my grade of a high A all through the semester. Anytime I had a question or concern, I would check out the free online algebra help section and I would be able to access practice tests and problems to prepare for upcoming tests, or any other homework I was working on.

I was quite surprised with myself. You have no idea what you’re capable of when you actually obtain help from a specialist in the area. Now, anytime I need help with higher math I stick to online tutoring.
