- Embed this noticeThere aren't centuries and centuries of scholarship claiming Ur was located in Southern Mesopotamia. There's centuries and centuries of tradition in Sanliurfa itself, and among the people of the Mid-East, that it is the home of Abraham. Wooley started the claim that it was the Southern Ur, and as the article points out, his evidence is weak at best. You are not an archaeologist or a historian, you're a preacher.
And, like so many preachers, you start with stating that the Bible is the inspired word of God, inerrant and infallible, then proceed to claim you're inerrant and infallible in your reading of it. I didn't claim God lied or that you lied, just suggested the story might be a lot more interesting than you are noticing.
