    My question to Joel would be, what is your explanation of the objects that Ron Wyatt found at the bottom of the Red Sea? I agree that gold is a poor metal to make chariot wheels from, but could they have been gold laden? How do you explain the encrusted features in the shape of chariot wheels and chariot hubs? How do you explain the pillars that mark the crossing site? All of which are on the path one would likely take from Egypt in route to Mount Sinai, fitting perfectly with the Exodus story.

Yeshua (Jesus) gave me a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7) in which to question and test all things for truth according to His word. Are you saying that I should take Joel’s word for it and be done? No disrespect to Joel, but he is not God. He is a man like me, and we are both called to test the scriptures (1 Thessalonians 5:21). As for your claim that this is a money making scam, I don’t think Ron Wyatt died a rich man. At least, not monetarily speaking.

    Thank you very much and may YHVH bless you both guys. In order to gain knowledge on the real pronunciation of the Name of YHVH you should check the work of Dr. Nehemiah Gordon, he really has a case in favor of the Scriptures confirming the pronunciation is YeHoVaH, with more than 1700 instances of the vowels found in codices and fragments both, from the jewish sources and early judeo-christian sources in Hebrew. YaHWeH would actually be a mistake introduced by early scholar Gesenius based on samaritan sources, but Hebrew sources know the name is really יְהֹוָה (YeHoVaH), this is also a great novelty from Casiodoro Reina, the first spanish translator of the Bible from its original sources, He introduced the spanish form Jehová, which matches the pronunciation of the vowels as we still have today in the Spanish Reina-Valera Bible, although spanish suffered a major change in the pronunciation of the letter "J", but in english or portuguese the sound is pretty much more similar as the original sound of the hebrew letter Yod, so the name of our beloved Father is really pronounced YeHoVaH.

Or archaeologist Steven Collins and his suggusted site? I love your presentation and details. But it would help for you to point out various conflicting claims and the best evidence to support the one you are putting forward for Sodom & Gomorrah.

      He did. And I think the evidence he showed proved it. The compelling evidence for me was not just the Ark itself, but the grave stone of Noah’s wife depicting the Ark, the family of 8 that came off it, and the rainbow as a sign of God’s covenant. Then you have all the anchor stones that are in the area of the Ark. Very compelling evidence, I think.

  • @nanadeborah8717
    @nanadeborah8717 4 месяца назад

    The answer about the bible is yes there has been discovered in the Dead Sea Scrolls that the Masoretic text was changed. The Septuagent which is the Old Testament,was translated into Greek in the 2nd century BC. The Masoretic text was redone by a group of Rabbis after that. It is mentioned in the Talmud exactly when this occurred, somewhere around the 1st century AD. What was changed has to do with the division of the nations after Babel. The Masoretic text says the nations were divided according to the sons of Israel. However,it would be years before Abram was called by God to be the first Hebrew. The Septuagent states the nations were divided according to the Sons of God,bene elohim,which means angels,not humans. The Dead Sea Scrolls agree with the Septuagent.

He became convinced the conditions there were right for a huge earthquake that would trigger a massive landslide. So complete would be the destruction, the event would pass into folklore.

    Actually it was gold played wheels not solid gold. No one said they were made of gold.the other chariots were coral formations that were shaped like axels abd wheels

    @Sean I understand we can dismiss Ron Wyatt on the Ark of the Covenant and Jesus's blood dripping on the Mercy seat and gold chariot wheels in Red Sea because others haven't found them ... but what about Mt Sinai being in Saudi Arabia and the Split Rock, Altar of Golden Calf, etc. which even seems to be witnessed by others too with their own photos and videos ?

      @AV, is it reasonable to assume that ancient people observed natural formations (mountains with black tops, split rocks, Elijah's cave, etc.) and wrote stories to fit what they observed? Much like how 'prophecies' were retrofitted to OT passages taken out of context and misrepresented?
      What are the odds that Ron Wyatt (a nurse anesthetist) who had no formal training in archaeology would find EVERYTHING that confirms the Bible? If the stories about Ron Wyatt are to be believed, he is the single most accomplished archaeologist who ever lived. Ron was a self-appointed archaeologist just like Saul/Paul was a self-appointed apostle. He was not a scientist, he never published any of his "finds" in a peer-reviewed archaeology journal. He never made any of his supposed discoveries available for trained archaeologists to examine.
      People write stories to explain what they observe according to their own bias. The Israelites had a highly inflated view of who they were in relation to their specific god and the Bible is a product of that. Do you take the Bible literally, that everything written in it is true and that it is historically pristine?

      ​@@cindychristman8708 interesting thought .. so if we do not find evidence for something, then we can conclude that its false. If we find evidence, then we can conclude ancient people made stories to fit that so called evidence.
      So if we can just dismiss the claims of Ron Wyatt just because he was a nurse anesthetist and a self-appointed archaeologist who had no formal training in archaeology, you must be a formally trained archaeologist who first made these judgements in your peer-reviewed archaeology journal.

      @@AnubPhilip As an example, there is no evidence for Jews being enslaved in Egypt, nor for them wandering in a desert the size of Rhode Island for 40 years and if that had truly happened I would expect there to be evidence. Since there isn't, I tentatively conclude that it's false.
      I look at the "evidence" for chariot wheels (actually it's one wheel which has since disappeared or was lost somehow) and ask what's more likely, what's more reasonable? Is it more likely that Ron planted it, is it more likely that what he saw was 'table coral', what's more likely, that Ron found chariot wheels at a depth of 200 feet with scuba gear that was designed to go only to 100 feet? And heaven forbid one of those wheels should fall off a ship mid-voyage. How do you or Ron even know this is the right location and not the Sea of Reeds?
      When I look at Noah's Ark, how likely is it that wood would survive for 4000 years? As to wood and metal being found, isn't it more likely that these are the remains of ancient mountain shelters, and that the "boat-shaped" object is a natural formation? Read articles in Answers in Genesis and Debunking Christianity (5/31/2008) for critiques and rebuttals to Ron's 'research'.
      I trust the experts in the field that attempt to be as objective as possible and aren't led by their biases. Ron went into these expeditions with a foregone conclusion and was looking for evidence to confirm. That's not how archaeology or history is done.

    "Saint" Helena (the mother of the first Roman Emperor who was Christian, Constantine) lived about 300 years after Jesus' day. "Way back then, Helena traveled all over Palestine and was always fortunate. Whenever [she] found a thing mentioned in her Bible, Old or New Testament, she would go and search for that thing and never stop until she found it. If it was Adam, she would find Adam's grave; if it was the Ark of Noah, she would find the Ark; if it was Goliath or Joshua, she would find their graves." [Mark Twain in The Innocents Abroad]
    Helena found the copper plate that Pilate had nailed to the top of her Savior's cross, and upon which Pilate had written, "This is the King of the Jews." She also found the three crosses upon which Christ and the two thieves were crucified, and the exact spot of the crucifixion, and the very spot where the soldiers divided the rainment of the Saviour, not to mention the tomb of Melchizadek (an Old Testament prophet), and the rift in the rock made by the earthquake (mentioned only in Matthew) at the time of Jesus' Crucifixion. And she founded churches to commemorate such discoveries.
    Mark Twain in The Innocents Abroad tells the true story of his trip to Europe and the Holy Land, a trip he took with a group of pious Christian sightseers. Together, they visited numerous holy sites in the Near East, including, "an Arab village ... where Noah's tomb lies under lock and key." Twain wrote, "Noah's tomb is built of stone and is covered with a long stone building. The building had to be long because the grave of the honored old navigator is two hundred and ten feet long! It is only about four feet high, though. He must have cast a shadow like a lightning rod. The proof that this is the genuine spot where Noah was buried can only be doubted by uncommonly incredulous people. The evidence is pretty straight. Shem, the son of Noah, was present at the burial, and showed the place to his descendants, who transmitted the knowledge to their descendants, and the lineal descendants of these introduced themselves to us today. It was pleasant to make the acquaintance of members of so respectable a family. It was a thing to be proud of. It was the next best thing to being acquainted with Noah himself."
