The Bible... literally?

The records were in the Temple in Jerusalem destroyed by the Romans in 70ce.

Link ? Without a link your claim is meaningless.

Its well documented. The Priests held sacred all the genealogy of the nation of Israel. Their entire society from land rights to who could be the Messiah was all tied up in the records at the Temple. I'm not going to copy/past links to do that research for you. I also wouldn't research Rome burning during Neros reign and that he blamed Christians for it, or other well documented, found in museum's type history. Like Rome destroying Jerusalem for instance. I'm out of here on this. See you next one.

I would think that the Stone of Bethel or Jacob's pillow would be inside Solomon's temple. Not to be used as a keystone or as a foundation stone.

That may/could happen as long as the stone was still their. Because that the temple would not be built for more than few hundred years later. Or biblical terms the time from Jacob to Solomon.

Is there confusion or doubt that Jerusalem and Temple was destroyed by the Romans in 70 ce? Or is it that the scribes and priests kept the records of all the genealogy in it? The first part is as easy to find as typing into Google Romans Destroy Jerusalem. The other point is Biblical knowledge that is well accepted. The Jewish nation was based on the Bible.

That was a copy by Herod, the original was built much earlier destroyed by King Nebuchadnezzar.

Sorry the original was the Tabernacle replace by the Temple that Solomon builded.

True but it still was their Temple with all the same functions. They did have two. I know. No link needed I hope.

Stop playing games. You know exactly what Steven is getting at. Everyone knows the Temple was destroyed in 70CE, but you are the only person on Castanet who has come up with the idea that all records were lost in the said destruction.

I'm sorry, but I'm going to call your bluff and say you just made that up (unless you can prove otherwise).

Regarding the destruction of the temple and the archives, the book History of the Jewish People by Max Margolis and Alexander Marx says on pages 202, 203: “Titus hastened to inspect the Temple. But soon the sacred edifice was the prey of the flames which the Romans kept alive. . . . So Titus had the quarter occupied by his soldiers burned down: the council house, the hall of archives, the whole of the lower city down to the Pool of Siloam.” The Bible Cyclopædia by M’Clintock and Strong states: “But there can be little doubt that the registers of the Jewish tribes and families perished at the destruction of Jerusalem, and not before.”

Of course you probably dont believe the Bible so this info to YOU will prove nothing. The Jewish system was a religious system. There were no court houses as we have today, they had their temple. That was destroyed and since the records have never been seen since, yes it is assumed but a well educated one, that the records were also destroyed. If they were not, you better believe they would have turned up, as they held the inheritance rights , priestly rights and yes even the kingly rights. Pretty good incentive to have them seen. I'm truly done with this thread. The diapers thing was a joke by the way. A pretty funny one if you know where thats from.

[Glacier]

Yes, more cowbell! LOL.

Okay, maybe was a bit harsh in my criticism. I agree with you that the records have all been destroyed (save what has been found elsewhere like the Torah), but I don't think that the Temple was the only place they kept records. The temple was destroyed several hundred years previously, so how did the records survive then?

I'm truly done with this thread.

c'mon back if you ever find a link to anything you've claimed.
