there is no evidence of that and it would make no sense. Herod killed his own sons. Why would he let spies betray him. He wouldn't. They were learned men of some prominence that would have made dinner with the king a possibility. They were warned by an angel not to return and let herod know where the new babe was as he had asked. They went home a different way and avoided him. You can't just come up with ridiculous theories...oh wait. I guess you can considering your allies.
Your synopsis is 100% ignorant of Bibllical text. READ the scriptures posted. It tells you plainly what they did. those are not my words, I just highlighted them. And That would explain why they didn't report back to Herod, they would be killed for betrayal. which is why they went a different route to get back home. get a clue. They were 3 Arab Scouts from Saudi Arabia(Muslims) who went and sought out the young Messiah Yeshua and when they found him, they worshipped him and bear him gifts. they disobeyed the King but dare not disobey GOD when they were told not to go back to Herod.
You are arguing the same thing I am. We are on the same side regarding 4Horsemen. Clear your head, fellow. You are in such a hurry to flame up against those you perceive to be your adversaries that you forget to read what they write.
In Biblical times, ANYTING East of Jerusalem was considered East, genius. whether it's due East, SouthEast, NorthEast,,, EAST. YOU FAIL AT LIFE.
What references are you looking for? Herod's commission with the Arab scouts? If you know how to read with comprehension, it's not hard to tell who the 3 so-called wise men were. I can show this to a 3rd grader and they'll understand it.
Even when it's yours? I bet you wouldn't want to join a club that would have you as a member, huh? LOL! You are showing your irrational side quite blatantly.
Do you have a source to back up this claim? BTW, simply saying "the Bible" doesn't count as providing a source.
Please Go Rent the movie 1492. It should clear up a lot of your questions. It's an Epic so be ready to sit through it for about 3 hours.
You don't want evidence. You want a movie. so go rent a movie about it. I posted factual evidence from hisotrical books, links, etc...you don't wanna hear it. I get that. You want more cake. I get that too. so go pop some popcorn and watch 1492.
