The Mystery of the Essenes
The discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls in 1947 was one of the most shocking archaeological discoveries in history. Even more amazing is the discovery of the ancient writings of the Essenes and their understanding of the Old Testament prophecies concerning the coming Messiah. How amazing is it to go back 2,000 years in time and read about the prophecies of the Messiah, fulfilled perfectly by Jesus Christ, even down to the very year of his crucifixion in 32AD!

alot... it lines up with christianity, both in theology and understanding of scripture. They have their own prophesies too written around year 2-300 before Christ, prophesying of his death on the cross in 32 AD.

We can also know the OT has been preserved since its 1000 years older than the masoretic text.

Re: The Mystery of the Essenes
and thats 2000 years in 10 years. The bible say 1000 years is like a day for God, and in Hosea said Christ would return on the 3rd day, and if a day is 1000 years so the 3rd day starts in 10 years. Some say 30 AD counting differently, thats 8 years away, so either 30 or 32 AD is correct and also lines up with the 70 weeks of Daniel 9 (the bible says noone know the DAY or HOUR but we can know the season)...



If you think the world looks alot like its the endtimes and has gone crazy, youre probably right.

you have to cling on to lies like that, without a shred of evidence ofcourse because all evidence proves the old testament is preserved and that Christ was crucified is one of the most certain facts of history (acording to secular scholars, see wiki article below), but if you were to admit that you cant be a muslim anymore. So you have to lie. Good luck with explaining that to God on judgement day.

At least you're not being accused of spreading new age BS.

It's good to see other searchers of truth.

It's then the conclusions we each reach, where once again we run into division.

This will always exist in this world of duality that we currently exist in.

No youre not, youre denying the true Christ of the bible and replace him with fake "christ" with no relevance to the bible where (acording to muslims) god lied to christians about Jesus being crucified and had someone else (Judas says many muslims) being crucified in his stead, that is the antichrist of islam. So you have no other than JUDAS which betrayed Christ as your attonment!

1 John 2:22-23 - "Who is the liar? It is whoever denies that Jesus is the Christ. Such a person is the antichrist—denying the Father and the Son. 23 No one who denies the Son has the Father; whoever acknowledges the Son has the Father also."

This is why you clowns run around and claim an illiterate 7th century caravan robber and child molester is the best example of moral conduct, because youre a bunch of liars. And you hate Gods word because youre offspring of the devil, and a bunch of murderers just like him.

John 8:44 - "You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies."

If anyone is in doubt muslims are murderers, you can go to quran.com and read sura 9:111, 9:29, 9:5, 8:12, 8:39, 8:60, 8:65, 5:33 etc.

Youre an image-bearer of satan, christians are image bearers of God. Thats why you hate christians and the bible, and want to replace it (using violence when you feel strong enough to win) with the quran.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 50451071


A snake can talk but not in the ordinary sense of communicating.

It is rather by projection; as in the psychological phenomenon.

I've told this story here before, but it never gets old for me.

My friend had dropped some acid and was tripping.
According to his brother he had gone out to check his mail.
While checking the mail he got into a serious argument with his mailbox.

So, if your mailbox can talk, then it's no problem for a snake. -Likewise I've heard people say that things like a
slot-machine talked to them. A friend was leaving the casino
when a slot talked to him, so he put in some money and hit the jackpot.

Re: The Mystery of the Essenes
It's been a long time since I really delved in to the dead Sea Scrolld so I just make some general comparisions.

I've found no phrophecy in the Dead Sea Scrolls talking about Jesus' death in 32ad

The Essenes were let back in to Jerusalem after centuries on banishment by Herod. The told Herod he would be King and it came true.

There's a very good chance the Essenes were, in some part, the Herodians

Jesus admonished the Essenes many times-The Essenes were a secret society. They few Essenes were let in. This was contrary to what Jesus taught. Jesus taught the opposite

The Essenes taught to kill your enemies, Jesus said to forgive them

There are so many more examples that show the Essenes hated Jesus.

The nailing to a tree was very much an Essene form of punishment, but only for one transgression. Being a traitor.

It's quite possible John the Baptists was an ex Essenes though.

Many of Jesus's teachings appear to admonish the Essenes, and a few seem to praise them.

They weren't predicting a Messiah like Jesus to appear. They were expecting a Messiah to come with vengeance.

The teacher(or what he was referred to, who was nailed to a tree was 150 years before Christ. It's clear in the scrolls.

Like I said, it's been a long time since I studied this so I'm not really going in to detail here

There's a very good chance the Essenes were, in some part, the Herodians

Jesus admonished the Essenes many times-The Essenes were a secret society. They few Essenes were let in. This was contrary to what Jesus taught. Jesus taught the opposite

The Essenes taught to kill your enemies, Jesus said to forgive them

There are so many more examples that show the Essenes hated Jesus.

The nailing to a tree was very much an Essene form of punishment, but only for one transgression. Being a traitor.

It's quite possible John the Baptists was an ex Essenes though.

Many of Jesus's teachings appear to admonish the Essenes, and a few seem to praise them.

They weren't predicting a Messiah like Jesus to appear. They were expecting a Messiah to come with vengeance.

The teacher(or what he was referred to, who was nailed to a tree was 150 years before Christ. It's clear in the scrolls.

Like I said, it's been a long time since I studied this so I'm not really going in to detail here
