Six official clay seals found by an archaeological team at a small site in Israel offer evidence that supports the existence of biblical kings David and Solomon. Many modern scholars dismiss David and Solomon as mythological figures and believe no kingdom could have existed in the region at the time the Bible recounted their activities. The new finds provide evidence that some type of government activity was conducted there in that period.


This find happened before that video btw.

All it says is that it shows evidence of 'some' type of government activity was conducted in that period, not evidence of David and Solomon, she would have known this, as you rightly pointed out the find happened before the video, she would be well aware of it.

They don't directly reference David or Solomon, but do provide evidence of government activity during that period

It's amazing what extra's theist read into discoveries.




Quote:I suspect this was the verse referred to

Luke 16:18

"Anyone who divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery, and whoever marries a woman divorced from her husband commits adultery"

and

Matthew 5:31~32

"It was also said, 'Whoever divorces his wife, let him give her a certificate of divorce.' But I say to you that anyone who divorces his wife, except on the ground of unchastity, causes her to commit adultery; and whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery."

Quote:You're allowed to remarry if the reason for divorce was infidelity.

That's not actually what it says it simply says ' anyone who divorces his wife, except on the ground of chastity, causes her to commit adultery;' in other words she has already caused her own adultery, it then goes on to clearly say 'and whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery.

Paul however makes it very clear.

Romans 7:2,3
A married woman is bound by law to her husband as long as he lives. This means that if she is married to another man while her first husband is alive, she is guilty of adultery. She is free to remarry without guilt only if her husband is dead.

1 Corinthians 7:10,11
But if she departs (if divorce has occurred), she must remain unmarried or else be reconciled to her husband. Clearly remarriage is not a scriptural alternative.

You may adjust it like so many scriptures to make it what you want, as Christians mostly do to their own creed, cult and desires. But that is not what it says to the reader.

Clearly some like yourself interpret in different ways to others of your mythology cult, bottom line is though, no one really takes much notice of those rules, which if i'm not mistakes was the point of the poster.
