Shall not be put to shame

Every few months we see this type of thing. New evidence that supports the bible as a historical fact. This found from the Post Gazette:

Workers repairing a sewage pipe in the old city of Jerusalem have discovered the biblical Pool of Siloam, a freshwater reservoir that was a major gathering place for ancient Jews making religious pilgrimages to the city and the reputed site where Jesus cured a man blind from birth, according to the Gospel of John.

The pool was fed by the now-famous Hezekiah's Tunnel and is "a much grander affair" than archaeologists previously believed, with three tiers of stone stairs allowing easy access to the water, according to Hershel Shanks, editor of Biblical Archeology Review, which reported the find yesterday.

"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." A Gospel that was thought to be "pure theology is now shown to be grounded in history," he said.

The bible doesn’t need us to authenticate it, as more and more we find that we need it to authenticate us. But it is comforting that God does follow through on his promise that those who believe in him shall not be put to shame. Even in this mortal-temporal plane. Note to all you “theologians” who believe that the bible contains truth, (and if you seek it you will find it):

It doesn’t contain truth. It IS truth.
