The "Museum Of The Bible" in DC...

Has anyone here actually been to it?

I've seen two stories so far about it, that they were caught shipping ancient artifacts to the US labeled falsely, and now they have an exhibit of "Dead Sea Scroll" artifacts, that have been proven to be fake.

From what I do know about the place, it was financed mostly by the family that owns "Hobby Lobby."

not if I have to pay more than $1.

I'm always curious why these alleged Christians who love the OT never bother to ask Jews about their favorite stories.

Aren't Jews the ones who wrote all that stuff?
