AAQ
I don;t get these type of posts.
You ask “So, why did he greet this way? ” and come up with some made up explanation.
The Gemara says how he knew he was a King/emperor “IF you were not a king Yerushalyim would not be given to you as the passuk says…”
Now I understand someone who doesn’t believe the Gemara R”L * But I find it odd when people believe the story took place but not the way it is told.
why are you willing to accept that R’ Yochanana ben Zakai greeted him has a Ceaser, but not that he knew this based on a passuk (as the Gemara says)?
(To be clear before I get attacked, I don’t agree with such a person but I understand someone who doesn’t view a the story as historical, certainly not all the details)
