“There is absolutely no proof that the Temple was ever there since every single rock was thrown down and it was utterly destroyed.”
There was no campaign by the Romans to destroy the Temple or Jerusalem. On the contrary, Titus Caesar was ordering his soldiers to help put out the fires, and they were disregarding him and throwing torches as the Zealots fought them and they slaughtered indiscriminately. See Josephus Jewish Wars I. 28, and VI 250—280. After the war ended, he patroled up and down Judaea restoring peace and order. The rich gold was of course looted and much of it carried off for Titus’ Triumph. But the demolition, far from being total, was only from the ground up, and even as it was taking place, officers and generals were actively trying to stop it and get the fires extinguished. The foundation stones, as I mentioned previously, are still there, along with labyrinthine tunnels laced with Jewish-themed mosaics, and the wall is not only still standing, but its contiguous architecture is getting uncovered more and more. Shortly before the Second Intifada, the Waqf bull-dozed a vast trove of ancient artifacts and deposited them in the city dump, where they were found.
“You keep your traditions, they have got you all into trouble throughout history. “
Monkey boy, it is part of our job to get into trouble. We are entrusted with making this lowly world into a dwelling place for G-d, and bringing the nations around to recognizing His presence. You can’t do that without getting into trouble.
Naturally, those who opposed G-d throughout history have always had a problem with us, and often try their worst to erase us from history, whether by building a hotel with the tombstones on the Mount of Olives, or claiming the Temple site is elsewhere, or killing us off en masse.
“One being that under the Jewish people, the Temple was destroyed THREE times and one time being that the whole city was completely destroyed. So much so that eye witnesses wrote that if it were not for the rubble, nobody would believe that there was anything there.”
They teach you all that in your correspondence preacher course, did they?
“Monkey boy,”
Typical of a liberal prick to resort to name calling when they are determined to avoid discussions.
But then again, the Jews destroyed the Christ through their traditions.
