Just in time for the holidays from the Associated Press, researchers announce the finding of the Siloam pool where sight was restored to the blind man of John Chapter 9:

This is a huge finding for many reasons. One reason that is burning in my heart is that this healing was investigated by the pharisees as it involved a man that had been BORN BLIND. This was the scientific investigation and investigative journalism of their day (needless to say the pharisees were quite biased). Funny enough, most modern day skeptics and journalists follow in their tradition (MSNBC's title reads "Archaeologists identify traces of 'miracle' pool"). "Traces?," "'miracle?'"---Lord open their eyes! These researchers found the mother load of evidence for the New Testament account!
Here's another Associated Press story that tells of pottery evidence in the Arab-controlled city of Cana that confirms the Biblical account of Jesus turning water into wine:

Thanks Doc Nos for the note. This is only one archaeological site that susbstantiates a New Testament account (there's so many more for other NT accounts). When you take others into account (two examples from Exodus: the hundreds of corral-encrusted charriot wheels on the bottom of the Red Sea and the fire-scorched mountain of Sinai in Saudi Arabia), it boggles the mind how people do not believe in the Biblical record as factually accurate. I rejoice with you and your faith. Here are two sites for new believers to check out:
