MASSIVE Biblical Discovery is Proving Atheists... WRONG! - Cassy Fiano - http://patriotupdate.com/massive-biblical-discovery-is-proving-atheists-wrong/
Many vocal atheists will do whatever they can to undermine the beliefs of devout Christians. But a recent discovery in Jerusalem is helping to prove the atheists wrong.
In 2005, sewage workers began maintenance on pipes in the Old City of Jerusalem, never expecting they'd be the first to witness an age-old artifact which many of the most scholarly historians believed never existed.
The Los Angeles Times reports that the workers unearthed an unexpected freshwater reservoir, upon which they immediately contacted researchers for study. Archaeologists soon found that this long-lost pool was actually the ancient Pool of Siloam, a location once believed by critics to be a myth. However, the revelation doesn't end there.
The Pool of Siloam isn't only a sacred Christian site, but it is the very setting described in the Gospel of John in which Jesus Christ healed the blind man. According to John 9, the Son of God spat in the dirt, rubbed the mud on the man's eyes, and told him to go wash in the Pool of Siloam. When the man obeyed, he was instantly healed of his life-long affliction.
"Scholars have said that there wasn't a Pool of Siloam and that John was using a religious conceit" to illustrate a point, said New Testament scholar James H. Charlesworth of the Princeton Theological Seminary. "Now we have found the Pool of Siloam ... exactly where John said it was."
According to Charisma News, after extensive studies, scholars believe that this reservoir is undoubtedly the same that was named in the New Testament, further verifying the authenticity of the Bible.
"The point is that it's become increasingly clear that the default scholarly position of disbelieving the Bible because it is the Bible is untenable," Metaxas writes. "Of course, Christians should already know that. But it's still gratifying to see that other people are able to see it, as well. Even if they have to go to the Pool of Siloam to do it."
Historians have been able to substantiate more and more biblical stories. So while faith alone might not be enough for some people, there's archaeological fact and history to fall back on, too.
