Apologetics 301 Guidelines
If you think this is the area where you tell everyone you are sorry for eating their lunch out of the fridge, it probably isn't the place for you
This forum is open discussion between atheists and all theists to defend and debate their views on religion or non-religion. Please respect that this is a Christian-owned forum and refrain from gratuitous blasphemy. VERY wide leeway is given in range of expression and allowable behavior as compared to other areas of the forum, and moderation is not overly involved unless necessary. Please keep this in mind. Atheists who wish to interact with theists in a way that does not seek to undermine theistic faith may participate in the World Religions Department. Non-debate question and answers and mild and less confrontational discussions can take place in General Theistics.

Physical objects used to assist in giving students a feel for the subject at hand, particularly in language teaching. It is probably jargon, made up by academics - but somehow appropriate anyway.
Here tis: Merriam Webster
Realia, was first used in the late 19th century, and is still mostly used in the classroom by teachers, especially foreign language teachers. It is also used in library cataloguing (in reference to such bizarre things as an author's hair and teeth donated posthumously) and occasionally finds its way into other contexts as well. You might, for example, hear of someone putting "realia"-objects that represent present-day life-in a time capsule.1Cor 15:34 Come to your senses as you ought and stop sinning; for I say to your shame, there are some who know not God.

I'm trained to teach at TESOL certificate 4 standard, but not accredited, and teach as a volunteer in the free "English for conversation classes" at a local Baptist church. Also facilitate for church youth Bible study groups from time to time, though not just now - the latter mostly consists of teaching reading comprehension and encourages the group to direct the course for study sessions.1Cor 15:34 Come to your senses as you ought and stop sinning; for I say to your shame, there are some who know not God.

Is it open to all? Or just for those of the Christian faith?
Presumably that is not done in your capacity of a TESOL teacher though?1Cor 15:34 Come to your senses as you ought and stop sinning; for I say to your shame, there are some who know not God.

Originally posted by rogue06 View PostThat seems to be a fairly standard reaction, including instances where it's the response without even troubling to look at what was written[1], and your concluding statement very likely sums up the reason.
Some folks comfort themselves in the mistaken belief that Christianity is nothing but a bunch of ridiculous contradictions, foolish over-the-top assertions and other things that "nobody" can make any sense of. And whenever anyone has the gall to dare to contradict any of their usual litany of PRATTs[2], it is viewed as some sort of personal assault. A figurative slap in the face. An attack on the basic pillars of their decision to reject Jesus / Christianity.
Hence the Pavlovian response of summarily rejecting and ridiculing anything that questions it.
1. case in point: when I mentioned that Christians didn't co-opt December 25th
2. and this is not to say that there aren't genuine legitimate questions, but what gets offered up time and time again are almost always the same old tired misconceptions that sound like the person is getting their information out of Dawkins' God Delusion or something equally bottom of the barrel.1Cor 15:34 Come to your senses as you ought and stop sinning; for I say to your shame, there are some who know not God.

The controversy centers on the dating of the destruction of City IV at Jericho. Everyone agrees that Canaanite Jericho was destroyed in a violent, fiery manner. Not everyone agrees on the date that this happened. The first excavators, Sellin and Watzinger, who dug from 1907 to 1909, concluded that Jericho had been destroyed in the Middle Bronze Age, by at least 1600 BC.2 In the 1930’s, British archaeologist, John Garstang excavated a residential area of Jericho and concluded that the fiery destruction of the city occurred in the Late Bronze Age, ca. 1400 BC, linking it with Joshua and the Israelites.3 From 1952-58, Dame Kathleen Kenyon excavated at Jericho and dated the destruction of City IV to the end of the Middle Bronze Age, ca 1550 BC4, meaning that there was no city of Jericho for Joshua to conquer at the time the Bible describes the conquest of Canaan. More recently, archaeologist Bryant Wood has suggested that Kenyon’s analysis of the date of this destruction is incorrect, as she based her conclusions largely on the absence of Cypriot bichrome pottery.5Last edited by tabibito; 07-12-2021, 05:35 PM.1Cor 15:34 Come to your senses as you ought and stop sinning; for I say to your shame, there are some who know not God.

This would indicate a fairly fluid tradition for the exact dating that wasn't exactly set in stone.

When did the interrogation by Pilate occur? Before or after Passover?
When was Jesus born? During the reign of Herod the Great or during the census of Quirinius?
Who actually went to the tomb?
Did Jesus experience a bloody sweat [Luke 22.39-46] or not?
