   I love finding out things I’ve been wrong about for years. In this case, I have Introduction to New Testament in college to thank for the misinformation.

   Another win for the Naked Bible. Thanks!

   Awesome post. Wow, it’s funny how I never thought to question that since so many people assert it as if it were a commonly held fact. This really debunks a lot of silly arguments.

   I never went for the garbagge dump option, but i thought the Hinnom valley evoloved into hell for the Rephaim connection. The arguments put forth in the article and the Rephaim connection could both work.

   Would the “eye of the needle” being a hole in a wall in a fortified city be grouped here as well ?
