King David: Any Archaeological Proof?

The Bible talks a lot about King David of Israel--he is mentioned in book the Hebrews scriptures and the New Testament. Is there any physical proof, archaeological evidence that he existed?

More 'Doomsday' Preppers

Those who have read the New Testament realize that Jesus warned of wars, famines, pestilences, and other troubles (Matthew 24:4-8; Mark 13:8) as part of the “beginning of sorrows,” and we have been seeing some of that. Then there will be the doom of the Great Tribulation (Matthew 24:21-22).

And the Debt Goes On...

On June 3, 2023, US President Joe Biden signed a bill to increase the official debt-ceiling of the United States. According to its Treasury the "ceiling" has been changed, increased, or delayed 78 other times. The official debt has nearly tripled since the Obama-Biden Administration.

PETA's Preposterous Preaching

Can Witch Doctors Cast Spells on Christians?

Many in Africa, Haiti, the West, and various other parts of the world believe that witch doctors are powerful. Various ones have succumbed to the point they believe Christians can be cursed by them.
