There were no synagogues in Israel not until after the destruction of the Temple.

Porphyry, a Greek philosopher, using textual analysis exposed Daniel as bogus. That finding has stood the test of time. There is a litmus test on the Hebrew side as well. Angels do not give their names. He names two. The writer is a con artist.

The Greek translation of the Torah was a total botch done by numskulls out to make a fast buck and there was no need for it.

You don’t read Hebrew? Rashi pointed out the correct translation way back when “at the beginning of.....” a process. If you want to say “in the beginning” the expression is “barishona” not b’reshit.”

Anything else?

Well, there goes your last shread of credability idov. What else are you going to lie about next. Synagogues were present in Israel as soon as after the return from exile and through Jesus' time. Before that there was no need.

Porphyry, a Greek philosopher, using textual analysis exposed Daniel as bogus.

Boy extra special sauce. His objections were based on the a priori supposition that there could be no predictive element as such in prophecy - not textural analysis.

You should really stop digging yourself any further into the hole

Rashi is no Moses my FRiend. And just because you believe and Rashi believed a certain interpretation does not make it so. History is full of people making their own versions of history. Go ask some of your kin who endured the worst genocide of modern times. The man who started that genocide had his own revisionist views of history, races and peoples with absolutely no evidence to back it up. It was so because he said it was so. The reasoning here is similar

And yet again I point your attention to the physical evidence presented by Sir Walter Ramsay.

Off the cuff, Masada and Herodium synagogues predate the fall of Jerusalem. Might I suggest 'Ancient Synagogues: Historical Analysis and Archaeological Discovery' which might broaden your scope... Notwithstanding that the Jews themselves hearken the origin of the synagogue to the Babylonian exile...

Porphyry, a Greek philosopher, using textual analysis exposed Daniel as bogus. That finding has stood the test of time.

The pagan Porphyry, in his textual analysis, did not have in his possession an extant copy of Danial predating his theory - We do... And that still does not explain away the great prophet, Isaiah.

There is a litmus test on the Hebrew side as well. Angels do not give their names. He names two. The writer is a con artist.

Yet there he is, among the prophets...

Maybe THEY don't give them; but...


There are five angels named in the Bible: Abaddon, Beelzebul, Gabriel, Michael, and Satan.
