and I think I have a good idea of the main bullet points that both sides are presenting

So how do you feel about Herod the Great considered a Roman govenor Chronic?

I can't tell if I'm being made fun of or not. =(

I think Herod the Great should be considered a Roman governor, though it's reasonable for the Elders to request more proof before making a decision about it. I think requesting three or four sources is a bit ridiculous though.

How long has this warning been here for? I've never necro-posted here, but is it a new feature?

At any rate, I want to bump this up because we never actually got an answer on the "Herod the Great being considered a Governor" thing, and I'd like to know it one way or the other.

The Herod's were territorial Kings, not Governors. Just look to the verse at the bottom of Herod Philip II: Luke 3:1. It references Herod being tetrarch (king) of Galilee and Pilate as being the Governor of Judea. They are clearly on two different levels as Pilate was held above the Herods.

Of course, this still doesn't resolve Herod the Great...
