“Traditions die hard.”
Well, it doesn’t. I’m not buying it - but I am buying that Jews have known where Temple Mount is, and have known that since about 3,000 years ago when Solomon dedicated the First Temple. Something like that is way to big to hide, way too big to be forgotten. If we were discussing the Ark of the Covenant and its location, I could accept arguments, for the simple reason that it dropped off of humanity’s radar screen about 2,600 years ago. For that matter, it has not even been available for public viewing since the First Temple was dedicated, at which point it was placed in the Holy of Holies and only seen by the High Priest once per year (on Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement). It is a box, that can be moved and hidden rather easily - but you simply cannot do that with a mountain.
So, you can take your “traditions die hard” statement and stick it with your beliefs in Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, the Tooth Fairy and the promises of gun control advocates...they all sound nice, but I wouldn’t believe them for one second.
To bad you dont read the scriptures.
