Well that's the most ignorant argument I ever heard of.
Biblical interpretation belongs to the "anointed ones" not some theologians. Jehovah choses his prophets, and for the most part the "temple class" have the truth and not Christendom's theologians who insist upon pagan idolatry by worshipping Christmas trees and the Goddess of Fertility at Easter. They are not side tracked by the totally false doctrine of the Trinity which is proven to be a false doctrine because it is the symbolism of the 666-BEAST.
Furthermore, ultimately, as in the case of the Apostle Paul, each Christian, no matter where he is getting his exegetical review, still must "test every inspired expression" in the Bible.
But if it is a challenge you want, I have the "academic" credentials to prove my main points.
Case in point the chronology of the fall of Jerusalem in 529BCE. The Jews have always known this to be the date, but now I have the "proof" in the VAT4956 and the SK400. Both documents have dating to the 529BCE chronology.
So "theologians" are no match for the truth. But I can see now why you're so misguided since you put your trust in misguided men instead of the scriptures.
You want to take me on? Let's go!
Ezra 6:14,15 says that "ARTAXERXES" finished the temple in the "sixth year of Darius." That means, according to the Bible Artaxerxes followed Darius on the throne in his sixth year.
Secular "theologians" claim Darius ruled for six years followed by a 21-year rule by Xerxes.
So who are you going to believe? The Bible? Or secular historians?
After the "academic" research, however, turns out that chronology is totally based upon revised records, none of them contemporary from the Neo-Babylonian period and some of the astronomical texts which is the only way we can get any absolute dates for that period, actually have double dating to the specific 529BCE chronology.
And there is nothing, absolutely nothing they can do about it now. It absolutely proves the fall of Jerusalem in 607BCE or 587BCE is totally fabricated and the Bible's chronology is correct.
Problem is, it requires reducing the Persian Period by 82 years. Easily done since you have to dismiss 30 years for Darius and 21 years for Xexes anyway in order to make Ezra 6:14,15 correct. That just leaves 30 years of extra history to dimiss which is quite easily done from the 47-year rule of Artaxerxes III.
At this point, therefore, based upon the astronomical texts, the current chronology which reduces the Neo-Babylonian period by 20-26 years and which dates the fall of Jerusalem in 587BCE isn't simply WRONG, it is INCOMPETENT.
No one can win in a debate with me about astrochronology, since I know more than anybody else at this point (at least of those who have published anything).
And I'm willing to PROVE IT!
The Bible has always been historically true and now it is confirmed by secular records.
So am I impressed with "academic theologians."
I don't think so.
Know this.
Hey. If I'm wrong, prove me wrong! Why does the Bible have Artaxerxes finishing the temple?
Hello?
Biblical expertise does not rest with the theologians.
