King Solomon’s “Mines” & Archaeological Evidence

King Solomon is traditionally (and I think, solidly) believed to have been king of the United Monarchy of Judah, from c. 970 – c. 931 B.C. We don’t have much at all to establish his existence and influence on history on grounds other than the historically trustworthy Hebrew Bible. I’ve written one article myself, along these lines: Archaeology & Solomon’s Temple-Period Ivory [1-28-23]. I would like to explore the question of Solomon’s legendary “mines” and offer a proposal.

An Opportunity to Dismantle 24 Garden Variety Anti-Catholic Whoppers in One Article Lucas Banzoli is a very active Brazilian anti-Catholic polemicist, who holds to basically a Seventh-day Adventist theology, whereby there is no such thing as a soul that consciously exists outside of a body, and no hell (soul sleep and annihilationism). This leads him to a Christology which is deficient and heterodox in terms of Christ’s human nature after His death. He has a Master’s degree in theology, a degree and postgraduate work in history, a license in... Read more

Do Petitions to Departed Saints Offend God?

Dan Delzell, the pastor of Redeemer Lutheran Church in Papillion, Nebraska, wrote the article, “Why offering petitions to departed saints offends God” (The Christian Post, 3-18-23). His words will be in blue. If you are someone who regularly offers petitions to departed saints, try to imagine going a whole week only offering petitions to God. And then imagine yourself doing that for an entire month. You would be pleasantly surprised at just how refreshed your soul would be after 30... Read more

Well-known atheist Dan Barker raised this issue in his article: “Leave No Stone Unturned: An Easter Challenge For Christians” (originally from March 1990 in Freethought Today). He wrote: I HAVE AN EASTER challenge for Christians. My challenge is simply this: tell me what happened on Easter. I am not asking for proof. My straightforward request is merely that Christians tell me exactly what happened on the day that their most important doctrine was born. . . . The conditions of... Read more
