For those who are interested, I got a random solicitation in the mail for a magazine called 'Biblical Archeology Review' - it was only about $25 so I subscribed. There is a whole discipline out there of people who study ancient sites and provide context to the passages/places in the bible, it's interesting reading.

I've subscribed to that mag for over 5 years. The publisher organizes group archaeological tours of digs usually in Israel (as the surrounding nations are not overly friendly) that provide students of archaeology a chance to work a primary-level resource site.
There’s also an Archaeological Bible. I want to read though this Bible with it’s additional archaeological articles lending supporting evidence to Biblical texts. Plus, I like pictures when I read 😆
All you have to is believe that Moses received the Torah from HaShem on mt Sinai. With that belief you are relieved from worrying about the truth of the Bible. It’s all true. Faith.
Yes, but the context is interesting - the stories of the bible take on more life when you understand more about how everything from the geography to the politics of the era played into the stories.
Well I know next to nothing about archeology, but always found it interesting. My son went through a hard core dinosaur phase in pre-school and early elementary and we did take him to a lot of natural history museums and even went to a couple of active paleontology dig sites while on vacations. There was one site in the Badlands of SD where the diggers let him down into the pit and explained what they were doing - he talked about that for months. So I learned stuff through him and also found that the discipline also has an 'expert' problem, where people with out PhD's are often marginalized and not taken seriously.
Yes, my daughter was obsessed with the Little House on the Prairie series, I read them the entire series when they were too young for chapter books, which then led to other books, and 'field trips' to museums and such. We even went to "Little House Days" in Mansfield MO. Definitely gained a lot of perspective for how tough life was for the early pioneers. Those people would laugh at how soft we have become today, myself included, lol.
We did our best. They are both independent adults with spouses and good jobs, but neither go to church and my daughter is a full on leftist. Of course I still love them fiercely and pray for them every day.
Oh my daughter did for sure. She and her hubby both got the first 2 and she screamed at us that we were going to 'kill her grandmas' by being around them unvaccinated, which she did later apologize for but shuts down the minute the topic has come up since. My son never bought into any of the fear porn but he and his now wife (who is a nurse and did not question the shot and refuses to talk to us about it) had booked a cruise for their honeymoon after their Sept 2021 wedding. If he did not get the shot he would not be able to get off the ship at any of the ports and would be restricted on the ship. So he caved. He has assured me that he has gotten no boosters since, and his employer never required the shot.
Interesting, of course another reason to question what we thought we knew as truth. Whether dinos were 'real' or not, the Sternberg museum in Hays KS does have a big collection of underwater creatures that swam through western KS when it was underwater, first specimens collected in the 1860's.
Thank you for sharing. Have you ever read any of Institute for Creation Research’s publications? They are also an excellent resource, not just for Creation issues, but well beyond in other Biblical areas as well. Highly recommend.
No, I have only gotten 2 issues of the magazine so far. I am old and still like reading on paper, but also have bandwidth issues. Had cut back on the number of subscriptions due to not being able to keep up but then added this one.....so many interesting subjects, and not enough hours in the day!

It’s a great magazine for keeping current on what’s being dug up from the past. Somewhat critical in tone, but lots of good info as well.

I love when our children can be our greatest teachers! It is all fascinating !

You exemplify a great parent Donna!

Keep praying! Train up a child…Your example will always speak volumes to them.

all "dinosaurs "are FAKE...
https://open.substack.com/pub/chemtrails/p/history-hoax-bone-fraud-are-dinosaur?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android&r=b7m4j you may find this series fascinating. Food for thought

Museum displays are "replicas" according to Agent.
