World's Oldest Christian Church discovered in Jordan!!

[Kyuuketsuki]

And the final two lines of the article ...[i]In November 2005, Israeli archaeologists made similar claims for a site at Megiddo, near the biblical Armageddon. They discovered ancient mosaics within the grounds of a prison.

Yes, That is correct. They found another Christian Church with similiar seating arrangements.

Let's drop that one, you doing little more than repeating what I post doesn't achieve a great deal does it?

There is some skepticism within the archeological community about this latest discovery as it claims to be so much older than existing Christian churches.

Yes, of course there will be anti-Christian archaeologists claiming this site is a fraud. Leading archaeologist Dr. Al-Hussan has evidence this site was used by followers of Christ in 33 A.D. Some archaeaologists believe this cave was occupied by other people earlier than the Christians in 33A.D. And no one is denying that part.

Muslim/Islamic leaders have ordered Dr. Al-Hussan to keep his mouth shut about this discovery.

I see ... so it's a conspiracy?

... don't phase you at all? It's also worth noting that many of us probably accept that Christian Gnostics worshipped much earlier, possibly even before the time of your claimed Christ, I certainly don't have a problem with that idea but, even if it were real, it doesn't validate the essential core claims of Christianity.

This is further evidence that Jesus existed. How could these 70 Disciples in this cave be worshipping a man called, "The Christ" if he hasn't been invented yet? This cave is certainly piling on the evidence that Jesus did in fact exist in the early first century.

This paints a whole new picture on atheism.

Quite easily if your Christ was a spiritual concept and never had a physical presence which is what the Gnostics, in common with many of the mystery religions of the time, appeared to believe.

It changes atheism in no way at all especially, since you dummies can't seem to understand thi simple idea, as atheism is not a philosophy.
