Archaeologist Eilat Mazar claims to have discovered what is likely King David’s palace.  If the discovery proves to be accurate, this would deal a fatal blow to those who claim David and/or a vast Davidic and Solomonic kingdom is a Jewish myth.

God is called “Father” 254 times, and “God” 1236 times (when one excludes references to “Son of God” and “kingdom of God,” otherwise 1352). “Father” and “Lord” combined are only used of God 425 times. The only author to use another term more than “God” is John. In His …
