Archaeology of the New Testament

[Cypress]

that's your intention of the thread!

to prove Christianity through archaelogy!
why are you denying it?

Just because I'm interested questions about the historicity of Siddhartha Buddha, King David, or Saul of Tarsus does not mean I want to become Buddhist, Jewish, or Catholic.

Thread 'Historicity of Siddhartha Gautama, the Buddha'

Nov 24, 2024

Wiki: The ancient Indians were generally unconcerned with chronologies, being more focused on philosophy. Buddhist texts reflect this tendency.

British author Karen Armstrong writes that although there is very little information that can be considered historically sound, we can be reasonably confident that Siddhārtha Gautama did exist as a historical figure.

Scholars are hesitant to make claims about the historical facts of the Buddha's life. Most of them accept that the Buddha lived, taught, and founded a monastic order during the Mahajanapada, and during the reign of Bimbisara.

What is "Bebe's Bitch Boys"? What genocide? You never answered the question.

This from the person who says some of the most ridiculous shit, like "biochemistry isn't a word", and never.....EVER....even attempts to explain.

stop weaving your web.

it only ensnares you.

you're building your chains in real time.

casual lying is an addiction that will send you to hell.

stop weaving!

So according to you, the fact that I posted a thread about the historicity of Siddhartha Gautama proves I want to become Buddhist and convert everyone else here to Buddhism.

you said that.

I was talking about this thread.

 

[Cypress]

you said that!!!

But taking your logic to it's conclusion, the fact that I posted about the historicity of both King David and Siddhartha Gautama is supposedly proof that I want people to convert to both Judaism and Buddhism.

​

Archeological data from the 12th century BC prove the Egyptians knew about a people from the Levant called the Israelites.

Archeological data from the 9th century BC in Tel Dan proves people in ancient Israel knew there was a house of David.

no that's not "the conclusion of my logic". it's just a made up scenario that isn't happening.
