5 Comments to Eight Reasons Why the Temples of King Solomon and Herod the Great Were NOT Over the Gihon Spring in the City of David

• Gordon,
  You did an excellent work to support the traditional understanding that the temples of Solomon and Herod the Great stood upon today’s Temple Mount. It is a shame that so much time had to be spent to disprove the profoundly stupid idea that says the massive buildings were built over a spring — no ancient builder would have done that! And here is reason number 10:

  The Jews did not forget where their temples once stood. Go to Jerusalem and have any Jewish kid tell Cornuke where these most sacred monuments of Judaism were located. Did the Jewish people, who comprise less than 1/2 of 1 percent of the world population, but hold 22 percent of the Nobel Peace prizes, forget where the temples once stood?

  Keep up the good work,
  Dr. Bill Heinrich

• Thanks for this cogent and concise summary, Gordon. The body of Christ is blessed to have someone like you to span the gap between the technical and practical. I hear a crowd of laymen applauding.

• Obviously Mr.Cornuke hasn’t studied Torah or the Bible very well. There are plenty of other writings that can concur that the Temple was indeed on Temple Mount. We know in detail that there were sacrifices held outside the walls of Jerusalem and a bridge for Temple Mount to the Mount of Olives would more than likely have been in existence.

  Of course Jerusalem is an entirely different landscape than those of old. Mountain tops slicked off and valleys filled in along with the numerous times of destruction and fire.

  I feel in due time more evidence will be found, just like the recently unearthed Aura fortress…

• It’s incredible how Mr Cornuke keeps finding things in the wrong places. I’ll give him credit for managing to spin a story. May I suggest a change of scene, possibly politics.

• Nicely done Gordon! At last, a place to send people who are falling for this nonsense.
