This idiot suggests they were interchangeable....Jesus was God on earth...john wasn't God in any sense. As for these paintings in this church, none of those people posed for the pictures, the painter never saw them in their lives. This is all catholic heresy

[@ianrobinson8974]

@@nasticanasta What heresy? The picture of The Virgin holding John, who was related to Her? It was John's mother, Elizabeth, who said to Mary when She visited her "Why should this great thing happen to me, that my Lord's mother comes to visit me? For as soon as I heard your greeting, the baby within me jumped with gladness" Luke 1 39. Yes, there was further separation when Jesus had to flee to Egypt but should that stop people of Faith not acknowledging the relationship, particularly at a place of veneration for both parties; years later? You could look a bit further to fully understand things, if you wanted! In the meanwhile peace and prayers for you to gain FAITH and understanding of the ONE TRUE Christian religion!

John answered and said, “A man can receive nothing unless it has been given him from heaven.

@I C yeah he's entertaining but thats it. He does cast doubt on the Bible and flat out lies about Christianity. He has a doc on the exodus, and one of his shows about it. In both,, he completely goes around the dating of the bible and the historical events in Egypt which fit the exodus as its recorded. Im an amature and could never figure out why he does that other than he is intentually misrepresent the bible on purpose.

[@lostamericanhistory2536]

@I C No im not mistaken. Ive studied this subject for 20 years. You have to use books that are not even in the bible to prove your date to disprove the exodus? No scholar would agree with you. Which theory of Simcha are you talking about? He over shoots one in his exodus decoded but never says why he dates it that way and misses by 50 to 70 years to late with his Akenheten theory. The temple was built somewhere between 950 to 1000. If you go back 480 years from 950 you come Into 18th egyptian dynasty and everything fits. Not only the exodus but From Joseph, to the Exodus, the conquest, and emergence of a unified kingdom under David everything fits within the historical context from the temple being built +/- 20 yrs from 950bc. Im happy to share a list of archeological and historical finds that fit what the Bible says if you want to research it yourself. My question is, since the bible tells us how to date the exodus, why will no one use it? Everyone wants to use the wrong dates, then say see here's proof the bible isn't accurate. Its completely ignorant.

[@lostamericanhistory2536]

@I C It appears your following Simcha exodus decoded documentry. No one agrees with it. In fact there are 3 other ways which scholars date the exodus outside of the bible. That was my point which you clearly expressed. You are using what you can outside of the bible, to disprove the bible. Ahmose 1 which is the 18th dynasty not the 17th, matches a lot of the description we are looking for. The problem is dating everything else from that point. From Joseph, the tell Amarna tablets, Altar on mt ebal, fall of Jericho and Ai, the merneptah Stele doesn't agree with your dating though the bible could (depending on the date of the temple construction) The bible dates the exodus to around 1446. Hatshepsut would be the Pharaohs daughter. She had a sister that did not hold the title. Hatshepsut died after reigning as Pharaoh, Moses returns to go up against Thuthmosis the 3rd. He has a son die, his second son has a son die, thuthmosis body had signs of boils and was mangled, we have an abrupt stop to military campaigns under Amenhotep 3rd, Amenhotep defaces Hatshepsuts tomb and it wasn't because she was a woman or that he was trying to attribute her success to himself. 40 years later the Amarna tablets detail the conquest which falls under Akenheten the monotheistic heretic who does not send help. We are not free to make our opinions facts. What I stated are the historical facts which were derived from Egyptian history to see if they match the Biblical narrative and they do. We can go in more detail if you like?

And he went and beheaded him in prison, 28 brought his head on a platter, and gave it to the girl; and the girl gave it to her mother. 29 When his disciples heard of it, they came and took away his corpse and laid it in a tomb.

Ummm, I don't think he actually read the Bible regarding John the Baptist. Of course the Bible says he was popular but baptism was not his main focus. He very explicitly stated that he was the forerunner of the Messiah to come. John also said something important for you, Simcha, he said "Don't say you have Abraham as your father because God can raise up these stones as children". Otherwise, don't rely on being a Jew to get to heaven, instead be a Jew because you have faith in God. John was beheaded for calling out Herod and Herodius for adultery. Popular doesn't really figure in to the picture because neither John nor Jesus was about popularity. And Mary wasn't on her way to Bethlehem to see Elizabeth, she took a special trip to see her and in that she gave one of the most beautiful prayers in the Bible, the Magnificat. I'm not sure you want to know what Elizabeth said, but here it is "Who am I that the MOTHER of my ADONAI has come to see me". Fulfilling ISAIAH.

This makes so much more sense instead of the Catholicism story.

Mary visited because Elizabeth became pregnant in her old age and was due to give birth to her son, Mary & Elizabeth was first cousins. Mary was there to help Elizabeth in the birth process. Mary had just conceived and went to tell Mary she also was pregnant. John was sent to make the way for Jesus, John baptized by water, paving the way before the people because Jesus was coming. Jesus and John are cousins. John said to Jesus "I am not worthy to wash your feet You should baptize me". Jesus answered John we must complete the prophecy". When Mary was holding John on the first painting and you stated Jesus is not on the painting that was because Mary had only just conceived Jesus, as I said there is six months between John's birth and Jesus birth. Gods Blessings from across the pond.

How can you discover something which is not where you claim it to be? Since the remains of John are found in Bulgaria 2011.

[@stephallan2543]

From what I understand this is the wrong locusts...we all should do our own research. John was Jesus cousin. The prophesy was that He was the one making way for the Messiah. The Scriptures are the Truth not anyone’s assumptions or perspective.

[@sircurtisseretse3297]

Yes, Steph, you're right. They've got the locusts completely wrong. The locusts John the Baptist fed himself on are LOCUST BEANS, also called CAROB, which grow locally on buahes and trees. The beans are also called ST JOHN'S BREAD.

Could it be the Jonathan was trying to get people to purify themselves in the ritual Mikvah?

[@rudolphreed4388]

These are scriptures of John confessing from his own mouth that he was not greater than Christ Jesus. John 1 8 He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light. 15 John bare witness of him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom I spake, He that cometh after me is preferred before me: for he was before me. 27 He it is, who coming after me is preferred before me, whose shoe's latchet I am not worthy to unloose.

[@carlanderson2468]

Why do you believe they are making things up, the Bible is so incomplete, full of discrepancies and plagiarism thanks to the Roman Catholic church mixing paganism with the Jesus movement.

[@mikemwanza8027]

@@carlanderson2468 christianity has its author and He is called Jesus. He is alive and in heaven sitting at the right Hand of the Father. He's able to respond to our calls and He is faithful to His promises to His followers. He is incorruptible. No matter the circumstances, He remains true. Jesus pays a visit for stubborn people like you. He transforms their lives and gives the a testimony of their life time. He does his job so perfectly that you would die proclaiming His magnificent. Maybe he's on the way, be expectant.

@@mikemwanza8027 Tell that to the people slain in Churches or High school kids who are Christians murder in their cafeteria by their peers. If you believe the Bible to be 100 percent accurate then you are a fool. Christianity is European and comes from Mythra mythology.

@@carlanderson2468 liars will never inherit the kingdom of heaven. I would have said so long time before you thought about it but, I have experienced Jesus in my life. Anything can be a lie but Jesus is true. If I say I've never experienced Jesus, I will be lying like you. You don't find what you don't seek. Unless you knock the door cannot be opened for you. You have been lied to, every body knows christianity didn't begin in Europe but in Israel. Thousands upon thousands of Archaeological artifacts can prove that. It had to begin somewhere and in the right time to the right people who were capable and had resources to take it to the whole world. It was by purpose not accident. Amongst all other religions in the world only christianity and Judaism makes sense.

I love Simcha but he does,nt totally believe in the whole word of God Almighty but yes their is some mistakes in the writing but not much error's but a good teacher can explain the whole of the Bible even the mistakes no problem for a scholar in our word of God. bring your doubts to me no one can fool the holy spirit.

John was very charismatic maybe a little eccentrically crazy with the following but Jesus was the superstar because he actually did the healing and the raising of the dead and feeding of 5,000 listeners died on a cross and rose on the third day You know Simcha ... You may be a Jew so was Jesus and the science doesn't lie about the shroud of Turin Yes he rose in a ball of light with the power of three Earth Suns!!! I love John he was the announcer not the Christ!
