Quoting: Anonymous Coward 51111951 Hint: Herod is not a last name; it's a title. There are five different rulers named Herod (in the Bible): Herod the Great, his sons Herod Archelaus and Herod Antipas, and his grandsons Herod Agrippa I and Herod Agrippa II. Herod Philip would make six, but he is mentioned simply as Phillip in Mark 6:17 But Antipas was correct Tiberias was founded around 20 CE by Herod Antipas. Josephus also relates in his 'Antiquities of the Jews' that Herod killed John. Herod had John the Baptist arrested and imprisoned in Herod's palace Macherus, located about 24 kilometers southeast from the Jordan River where John had baptized Jesus. Hope this helps! |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 81048193 ![]() 11/20/2023 07:13 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The New Testament story about the execution of a character known as John the Baptist shows first hand that the bible CANNOT be the 'word of god' as dellusionally IGNORANT Christians claim. Quoting: Illusion_in_Reality 42192300 The story of how the head of John was requested and granted during a dinner part at the request of Harods step daughter is entirely implausible. For a close look at a camels offroading capabilities please see the documentary called Lawrence of Arabia. The city of Tiberious was the capital city built by Harod on the Sea of Galilee where said dinner party would have taken place yet John the Baptist was imprisoned in the Fortress of Machaerus, over 100 miles to the south. However, in the bible it states that during a dinner party, Tiberious sent for Johns head and delivered it in front of guests.....this means that they covered over 200 miles on camels AND within the timeframe of a dinner party. In their defense, a christian is too stupid to ever consider this....the simple minded christian is ONLY able to think as the church told them to think and to think outside of the box means an imaginary satan will get you. Turbo charged camels.....only possible by christian stupidity. So i ask....how fast was a Roman Camel? If they cant run faster tham 100 miles per hour than the New Testament contains obvious BULLSHIT. To blindly believe this because you have 'faith' clearly shows ignorance that you have been forced to accept. No, it literally doesn't. You're just a moron trying to equate modern interpretation or "Evidence" (that you've never actually seen yourself btw) for places and locations with actual events. huge yawn followed by juan star. |

Built by King Herod the Great, the palace was occupied at the time by his son and successor, known as Herod Antipas. Seems like the party itself was held in the residence of H Antipas, which was where John the Baptist was imprisoned. Which makes considering the two were reported to have engaged in lengthy conversations. These conversations with J the B did not please Herod's family. That is why they used the opportunity to have John removed. |
