That is pretty lame. There have long been claims that there was no record of a massive slaughter that is supposedly claimed in the New Testament. Christian scholars say that there would not have been any record outside the NT since it was only at Bethlehem and would have amounted to about 6 and certainly less than 10 killed. This is due Bethlehem was a small town of at most 1500 and the statiscal odds of infant boys aged two and under would be very small.
March 24th, 2008 at 4:40 pmSo they found Herod’s tomb. While at the same time the skeptics have their way with the facts regarding the slaughter of the first-born.
The facts are that the Maji…or kings from Ethiopia, Iran (Persia at the Time) and Iraq (Mesapotamia) told Herod of the birth of a new king. Herod, not wanting anyone to usurp his position as king…had all the males up to 2 years old slaughtered in the town where Jesus was born to try and kill Jesus.
Ah, but go ahead skeptics and play your games.
It’s a good archeological find. But don’t distort the facts…kiddies…If you don’t like history, then don’t study it. But don’t try distorting it. There’s too many people still on this planet that know it well enough to call you out.

Exactly. So many in the media, and academia, are cafeteria-historians. Take a little of this, a little of that, throw in some inferences, heresay, and “educated guesses”, stir it up and..bingo.

Well said.
March 24th, 2008 at 5:43 pmOh, so he’s been playing in the dirt and dust there for 35 years and now knows exactly what happened thousands of years ago …
Let’s just rip those pages from the Bible, shall we?
Question:
When does he plan on digging through Moo-ham-id’s past?
March 24th, 2008 at 7:29 pmHow does discovering Herod’s tomb repudiate the slaughter?
March 24th, 2008 at 9:06 pmAlmost 6 centuries before the event, the prophet Jeremiah wrote:
“A voice was heard in Ramah, lamentation, weeping and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children; she wouldn’t be comforted, because they are no more.”
The Gospel of Matthew attributes the above prophecy to this event and was written contemperaniously with the people that actually experienced that event. There was never a claim that this event did not happen until 2000 years later.
March 24th, 2008 at 9:48 pmWhat a coincidence. The History Channel’s “Underground” series was on this evening. Under Herod’s digs are this amazing water supply system. And, also down there is this memorial to the slaughter that was put in after Herod’s death and it is made up of the bones of those killed. Lots of little bones.
March 25th, 2008 at 12:51 amNo, I don’t work for the History Channel, but, I thought I’d mention that they’re starting new chapters on the “Gangland” series this Thursday.

This guys must not have dug that far yet …
March 25th, 2008 at 5:57 amDrill, I came away with what was shown last night they’ve been showing this to the public for a while. Electric lights and everything set up in a permanent fashion, and not just for this filming. Last night they happened to cover a lot places in Israel, but, they’re all over the world with this series. People have been tunneling into the earth for thousands of years.
