Why is John Kramer not acknowledging that Noah's ark was found in the mountains south of Mt. Ararat & the gov of Turkey's acknowlegdement of Ron Wyatt's discovery?
Sean you are barely audible. I hope there's spomething you can do about that. Your content is amazing: very informative & fascinating.
I've been binge-watching Joel Kramer's videos on youtube….so good. And I'm reading his book too. I highly recommend it.
Titus has much the same story. He published peer reviewed paper and got video, so hopefully all the attention will get this in front of the public.
One of my favorite pod casts you've done. Faith is belief in the the unseen, but its good to read his calling card.
Sean what an enjoyable host you are… very gracious. I’ve never seen you before, but I’ve watched several of Joel’s videos. What a wonderful interview
Joel, I love your research and videos, but your comment regarding the gold chariot wheels in the Red Sea being ridiculous should be revisited. After all everyone knows you would not make a wheel from gold, however you certainly could and would have gold inlays or plating on them. The other issue being why would they not have been recovered and preserved, well is it not so that the Muslims will not allow access which is exactly why Ron Wyatt had to seek in?
You are an awesome interviewer. Sean! Excellent listener and you really ask great questions! Joel Kramer is awesome!
Three questions:
1. Is Trinitite found at the southern site?
2. Are sulfur balls found at tel el Hammann (proposed northern site).
3. If we have found the location of mamre, the Bible says “The men got up from there (Abraham’s tent at Mamre) and looked out over Sodom, and Abraham was walking with them to see them off.”
Is there a high location within an easy reasonable walk near the proposed location of the Oaks of Mamre where we can see the southern Dead Sea, the mid Dead Sea, or the north Dead Sea (some of the proposed locations for Sodom)?
I would like to see Joel's response to the revent archeological discoveries at Tall el-Hammam Sodom, Jordan. That site seems to match more closely to the Biblical description of Sodom and Gomorrah.
Archeology was high jacked by secular institutions the same way science has been high jacked by secular institutions. Secular archeology is not interested in truth. It is all agenda driven.
I know I’m taking this verse out of context, but I keep thinking of what Jesus said during the triumphal entry: “the stones will cry out.”
That date is pretty on the dot….Glory to our Christ
Why doesn't a Christian college or university have an authentic Biblical archaeology department? Joel seemed to say that such a program not biased against religion doesn't exist. Biola should have a graduate and undergraduate program for Christians interested in a career in archaeology that doesn't mislead and confuse them. Frankly, I'm surprised that no Christian school has filled such an important void.
My question to Joel would be, what is your explanation of the objects that Ron Wyatt found at the bottom of the Red Sea? I agree that gold is a poor metal to make chariot wheels from, but could they have been gold laden? How do you explain the encrusted features in the shape of chariot wheels and chariot hubs? How do you explain the pillars that mark the crossing site? All of which are on the path one would likely take from Egypt in route to Mount Sinai, fitting perfectly with the Exodus story.
The Bible is true!
Sound is very poor i cannot hear you Sean
Lost me at the Shroud, steering clear of this guy.
Joel's youtube channel ROCKS.
Don’t agree with him on the shroud of Turin. Doubters keep saying it’s a forgery but no one can offer any kind of explanation for how it might have been done and all attempts at replicating it fall very short.
Vwry informative. I have watched a lot of Joel's videos lately very good
📖❤️✝️📖
This man is annointed , called by our MOST HIGH GOD !
🤍🙏✝️🤍Joel Kramer is doing amazing work and his illustrations help to bring more detail of the bible👍💯 Continue to do God's work Mr. Kramer and God bless you, I find to be so knowledgeable of the bible and archeology.
Great Q&A. Kudos to Joel for his work. With that said, I was surprised when he dismissed the authenticity of the Shroud of the Turin after admitting that he knew little about it. The scientific techniques used to analyze the shroud are far beyond his area of expertise. A wiser answer would have been that he does not know. I believe that had he done a thorough examination of the evidence developed after decades of study, he would have come to a different conclusion.
Joel continues to astound me. He is saturated by the Holy Spirit. His words and wisdom just leave me amazed. Mentioning the Bereans and how young archeologists need to have critical thinking skills and the ability of discernment in a post modern world. Wow.
Love how you work and think Joel and yes the Bible is true. Your awesome
They use the epic of Gilgamesh to refute the Bible! They say it was way older than the Biblical account and the authors of the Bible copied the story. They use that to-say the Bible isn't inspired and to prove that Christian are following a fairy tale! What does he have to say about that?
Thank you guys this is great a map wpukd have been gr8
I also recommend Kramer's video on how the prophecy about Babylon was fulfilled when he went there and compared the Biblical prophecy written in Scripture to what is Babylon right now. How accurately amazing was the Scripture.
Just type:
expedition Bible-exploring Babylon and the prophecies against her
I've watched quit a bit About the Shroud of Turin and even secularsts say they have no idea how it was made and Do far they haven't been able to duplicate it. I think it's real.
Also, Ron Wyatt's claim about finding Chariot Wheel's in the see he had actual video of them.
Just because Joel says they're not real doesn't make it so.
I do enjoy Joel's Channel and his discoveries that bring the Bible to life. God Bless all! Maranatha,
WAIT, wait, wait… so you JUST told this young person this long and amazing answer about keeping an open mind with a critical eye on scripture and then turn RIGHT AROUND and say Noahs Ark hasnt been found because the site on Ararat has become a "fiasco"!?! Are you SERIOUS???
Thanks so much for the very insightful show. I’m going to buy Joel’s book and can’t wait to read it!
I thought they found Noah’s ark in turkey somewhere on top of a mountain
Why don't other Christian scholars believe Ron Whyte finding the Ark and his claim/evidence that he found it decades ago?
I thought Ron Wyatt found the Ark and even Noah’s dwelling! I’d have to wonder how and why a believer (albeit a superstitious one) would or could falsify evidence!
I heard an archeologist on the radio years ago say that they have never opened an ancient Israelite grave that did not have a pagan idol in it! Sad testament to our human nature!
Thank You Joel for your persistence in searching these things out.
For all his brilliance Kramer is a moron.
I am so grateful for Joel Kramer’s work. As far as I’m concerned, he is cooler than Indiana Jones.
Joel is awesome
