Comments on: The Doorways of Solomon’s Temple https://www.biblicalarchaeology.org/daily/biblical-artifacts/artifacts-and-the-bible/the-doorways-of-solomons-temple/ Tue, 20 Jan 2026 14:07:34 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.1 By: Judy Weis https://www.biblicalarchaeology.org/daily/biblical-artifacts/artifacts-and-the-bible/the-doorways-of-solomons-temple/#comment-2000307521 Tue, 27 Jun 2023 13:28:32 +0000 https://www.biblicalarchaeology.org/?p=39882#comment-2000307521 But yet there is not one tiny bit of physical evidence to prove that the King Solomon Temple, Solomon, David, any of these characters ever existed.

But yet many other historical figures left tons of physical evidence that have been vetted and shown to prove that they existed especially cross referencing other physical sources and evidence.

So…How do you explain the tremendous lack of evidence for the characters in the Old & New Testament? It’s rather embarrassing don’t you think?

And no matter how you cut it or try to explain the huge lack of physical evidence for all of the characters in both the old & New Testament…it is an embarrassment and points to the fact that Christianity and Judaism are plagiarized religions copied from previous pagan archetypes that existed for thousands of years before Judaism and Christianity were created by human beings creating a new religion.

Biblical archaeology is nothing more than a promotion of Christian mythology an extension of Christian “apologetics” in which anyone with any nonbiased and honest research experience knows that the so-called biblical Christian archaeology is nothing more than Christians lying and creating false associations and impressions as well as inferences in order to attempt to prove to the gullible and naïve and uneducated …. some kind of justification for Jesus existence. But they fail consistently.

There are so many problems with this article for many many reasons including orthodox Jewish law that it should be discounted out of hand.

Consistently, the authors of “biblical archaeology” takes something like a rock and hold it up and say “see this proves that Jesus existed or Solomon existed” by inference where there is no such physical evidence… by inference, guessing, or even apologetics which in reality is just Christians lying to justify their false religion and fake Jewish Messiah, imaginary Jesus.

But yet, we have an incredible amount of physical evidence in the millions of other individuals and sites going as far back as 100,000 years of other individuals and sites going as far back as 100,000 years to prove their existence. So how do you explain this?

Jesus did not write a single word, he was not fluent in Greek and it is doubtful that he could read or write in any language is research shows that barely one percent of the population in the first century Received such an education to be able to not only read and write an error but Greek.

Furthermore, in the New Testament there is no indication of Where and from whom he learned to speak or write in Greek… to explain why the New Testament, & especially the earliest “copies” are written (in Greek).

The New Testament states that Jesus was able to explain complex concepts of the Old Testament written in Hebrew when he was 12 or 13 years of age. And even this is specious and questionable because in orthodox Jewish law no Jewish male could speak comment about tenach before their elders or the congregation until they were married and at least 30 years of age and had been proven to have maturity and “wisdom.” it would’ve been a blasphemous insult before the eyes of God to allow a foolish orator person with no education to defile the temple with frivolous or Uneducated statements.

It appears that biblical archaeology is nothing more than a fabricated site attempting to prove by inference that imaginary Jesus and the characters of the Bible and especially the characters in the new testament existed when there is more evidence and probability that they did not exist.

Was it after the five doorways? Or, was the curtain only in Herod’s Temple?

The silver cord tied the fabric to their frames in the mobile tabernacle and is know to be a symbol of mercy. The idea of harnessed comes from the way the Hebrews were seen when leaving the cities of Egypt after the Passover and release of the people. Every 5 men were harnessed together to tow what ever their load was from the treasures they were given to LEAVE Please. From a bird’s eye view of the Exodus each group passing out the gates were repeating the an implied phrase – By God’s Mercy, For His Glory, In His Grace.

The lintel and doorposts of the entrances of Israelite houses in Egypt were obediently splashed with the blood of the Passover victim as a sign for God’s angel to pass over such homes and not destroy their firstborn. (Ex 12:7, 22, 23) According to the Law, if a slave (male or female) desired to remain permanently in his master’s service, the master brought the slave up against the door or the doorpost and pierced his ear through with an awl. (Ex 21:5, 6; De 15:16, 17) The Hebrew word for doorpost (mezu·zahʹ) has come to be applied to a small container called a mezuzah. It is nailed to the doorpost by Orthodox Jews and contains a parchment bearing the words of Deuteronomy 6:4-9; 11:13-21.—See MEZUZAH.

The door was generally made of wood, and many of them turned on pivots fitted into sockets in the lintel and the threshold. (Pr 26:14) Door pivots were often wooden, but the Egyptians sometimes fastened to a door’s lower and upper ends metal hinges having projections that fitted into sockets, these doors thus pivoting in that way. Sockets for the doors of the temple built by Solomon were of gold.—1Ki 7:48, 50.

Doors of average homes were small and not ornate. But the entrance of Solomon’s temple had two, two-leaved juniper-wood doors, and there were two doors made of oil-tree wood leading to the Most Holy, all these doors having carved representations of cherubs, palm trees, and blossoms, overlaid with gold. (1Ki 6:31-35) Large doors having folding sections or leaves were also used elsewhere. For instance, Jehovah saw to it that Babylon’s copper “two-leaved doors” were opened to King Cyrus.—Isa 45:1, 2.See.doors: it-1 645; it-2 1077.
