Flashgordon's "Gospel of Truth"
Humanity is defined by its dependence on knowledge for survival. Because the stars and planets are a major part of the reality of this universe, stars and planets were a big part of humanity coming from vague knowledge to rigorous knowledge. We know this from Stonehenge and recently there was this Nebra sky disk found in Europe no less!. It was dated into the 1500 B.C. timeframe. In other words, the Europeans were just as intelligent as the Mesopotamians and Egyptians of the same time periods. What happened to them?

Well, recently, Tarshish seems to have been found. Some argue that this was the city of Atlantis. Plato notes that the city of Atlantis was around the pillars of Hercules, or the Rock of Gibralter. I think there's an element of truth in this. But, I think Plato was really rolling up the stories of all kinds of Island cultures that were wiped out due to natural disasters before his time. There was also the Minoans on the Island of Crete. But, back to Tarshish.

Tarshish is mentioned in the bible. For instance 9:21 For the king's ships went to Tarshish with the

servants of Huram: every three years once came the ships of Tarshish bringing

gold, and silver, ivory, and apes, and peacocks.

What I find interesting about Tarshish mentioned in the bible is that archaeology has shown that metallergy started in spain first. Tarshish is on the bottom of Spain. What happened to allow the Middle East cultures to take the front lead in the course of civilization? Natural disaster! What's remarkable is that Tarshish is mentioned in the Bible anyways. Tarshish was not the dominant culture of the Old testament. Egypt and the Mesopotamians were!

One more thing before i get more into the Bible. The Phoenicians are generaly credited with the invention of the alphabetic language. I would argue that the Phoenicians come from Minoa by the way. The thing is that two cultures picked up on that alphabetical innovation - the Greeks and the Hebrews. These two cultures went in remarkably different cultural paths. They met again under Hellenistic civilization after Alexander the Great conquered the known world - the mediterraenen.

The fact that the six days of creation of the book of Genesis follows closely the Epic of Gilgamesh and the flood story is also clearly a redo of that more ancient story is well known and well established. But, I've found that the Egyptian influence on the Torah is perhaps underrated. Actualy this part is farely well known also. It seems that the Hymn to Akhenaten is reproduced in the Psalm 104. The Hymn to Akhenaten is about sunworshipping. Well, I've found that this Hymn to Akhenaten is more integrated in the Torah(the first five books of the Old Testament) than just this little curiosity.

Some of the influences of the religion of Akhenaton are how Yahweh created the languages, the seasons, and how Yahweh begat King Soloman. See Andrew Benson's "The Origins of Christianity and the Bible" for the Hymn of Aton equivalents.

What's interesting about Akhenaton Aton creating the seasons is this is in Genesis; for instance, 1:14 And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of

the heaven to divide the day from the night;" and let them be for

signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years: " Yes, God is being an astrologer here.

Stonehenge almost certainly shows those people worshipped the sun and stars as gods. Amos was one of the earliest Hebrew religious writers. In his book, we see that the Lord is just the stars,


5:8 Seek him that maketh the seven stars and Orion, and turneth the

shadow of death into the morning, and maketh the day dark with night: that

calleth for the waters of the sea, and poureth them out upon the face of the

earth: The LORD is his name:

Here's more proof that the supernatural religions of our past are astrotheological. Herodotus 2:4(the histories) The Egyptians personified the twelve constellationsof the zodiac.

There's so much Egyptian astrotheology that pre-dates the Christian religion that I'm just going to give one more evidence of astrotheology. The Leiden Hymn to amun!

"


All gods are three:

Amun, Re, Ptah, they have no equal.

His name is hidden as Amun,

he is Re in the face,

and his body is Ptah."


Well, I have one more thing before getting into some purely archaeological problems of the bible. The twelve tribes of Israel are just the twelve constellations personified!

Genesis 49 has various characteristics of the twelve tribe of Israel; remarkably astrologers have found they match up with the characteristics of the twelve constellations of the zodiac!

-Rueben = aquarius because of "the beginning of my strength . . . unstable as water."

-Simen and Levi = Gemini because of the twins of Gemini

-Judah = Leo beause of the "lions welp"

-Zebulun = libra because of "who shall be far an haven of ships; or the ship sign, ark"

-Issachar = Taurus because of "strong ass, workhorse"

-Dan = Scorpio because it is between sagitarrious and capricornious

-Gad = Pisces because Gad is the reversal of dag, a fish god

-Asher = Virgo because of "rich food or fat bread"

-Naphtali = Capricornus because he's a "hind let loose, the goat

-Joseph = Safittarious because he was fiercely attacked by archers

-Benjamoin = Aries becuase "the ravenous wolf who divides the spoils

-------------------------------------this marks where I've been redoing my Gospel of Truth. I'm thinking I want to point out old testament statements that of astrology.

I want to interpolate a bit here. Mathematical science tries to match its theory with observational/experimental facts. Mythology tries to move everything to hard to reach places. First it was the heavens, maybe even volcanoes and oceans(places that can get kind of hard to deal with). Mathematical science is constructive. Mythology is often as willy nilly as it can be; the mythologists often try to say whatever they want. I should say that both mathematical science and mythology have a commonality in their use of analogy. Mathematics is an abstraction(a common form between two structures; the easy and quick example is two oranges and two apples share the abstract concept number two). Mythology is clearly poetry, and poetry is about metaphor and similies. Clearly, mythology has its use of analgy. But, these two have a difference. One is constructive, and the other is vague and fudge factoring. The mythologists tries to brush the questions of the world under the rug. An example from the bible I'd like to point out right now is Exodus 3:14 where Moses asks God for his name, and God says "I am that I am." I'll now get to various things of note, and then get into the New testament.





The first mention of Israelites seems to be around 1200 B.C. These Israelites seem to have grown quite rich. I should back up here actually. It should be noted that there was a northern rich agricultural lands that was called Israel, and a poor lower highlands called Judah. The northerners seemed to be rich for awhile. But, eventually, some aggresive Mesopotamian Assyrians destroyed them. When this happened, some of the Israelites moved south into Judah. But, it wasn't for two hundred years that Judah become a powerfull state around 700 B.C. I need to stress here that when the Assyrians vanquished the first Israelite state, they took in the population for slaves - both manual labor and arts and sciences; this was the way things were done back then; it's why states went to war - for slaves; the Israelites were probably attacked more because they were in the way of the Assyrians battle with Egypt than anything else. I stress this point more because outside of maybe a few original Israelites moving to Judah around this time, the majority were absorbed into the Assyrian culture; they were no more; their seed was, but their identity was not. So, when two hundred years later in Judah, when they finally became a full-fledged state, they were seeing the ruins around them from a purelly Judahite perspective. It must also be stressed more forceably here that when the Assyrians took out the Israelite state, they didn't bother or care about the agrarian judahites; they were so few and poor; they weren't even worth a mention or a fight. There seems to be much scriptural evidence for this date as when the torah of the Old Testament was first formed. For one, there is much mention of Abraham riding around on camels; archaeological evidence shows that Camels only became domesticated around 700B.C. A lot of the place names of the surrounding other cultures were only in existence around this time(like the Emobites). Also, those peoples conflicts with each other and with the Judahites has been shown by archaeology to have only taken place around 700 B.C.(i'm mostly talking about the descriptions of peoples mentioned in the book of Genesis). In Genesis 25:23 two nations are born in the womb of a woman.





Why was the Torah really first composed around 700 b.c.? I'd like to mention a couple more quotes from the Bible. In 2Kings 22:8-23:24, High Priest Hilkiah miraculously finds the torah in his back room(kind of convenient, ha!?), and in Genesis 49:8-10, it is said that Judah is to be the center of the world really; it says the skeptre shall never depart Judah. Considering all the detailing of the peoples politics with one another(in an allegorical way) and that whoever wrote that the Sceptre shall never depart Judah, it should be quite clear what the Old testament for one is . . . a political pamphlet. While Thales is busy touring the great learning centers of the Mesopotamians and Egyptians, the Judahites are declaring themselves the chosen ones.



When Judah became a fullfledged state, a division of labor to the level of allowing an educated class of scribes, a government to govern agriculture and a military, was as I said before two hundred years after Israel(really the Omrides who were not viewed by the Judahites very well because they were rich at the time . . . 900 B.C. . . and the Judahites weren't; i hope to get back to this point! I just redid this above!) was destroyed. When they got around to composing their political pamphlet, there were ruins everywhere - far and near. What to make of it all? Of course, King Soloman must have built all these ruins(they were Omride, an Israelite dynasty), and, where did we come from? Of course, we must have come from Egypt! How could we have done that? There must have been a parting of the seas! I want to stress here something about the way humans think here. I mean, we have to figure things out from our current perspective. This is what Jacob Bronowski is trying to say in his "Origins of Knowledge and Imagination." I mean when we first started out trying to understand the stars, we thought the earth was the center of the universe and flat(most ancient people); we'd make up our mathematics accordingling; Everyone from Eudoxus to Ptolemy would explain the motions of the planets by making epicycles upon epicycles no matter how unweildy the final contraption. Just like our first thoughts about the sun, stars, and planets going around the immovable Earth, the Judahites made sense of their surroundings and predicaments from their current perspective or time and space. It should be stressed here that the Judahites were jealous of almost everyone around them; whoever was rich were portrayed as bad(I forget the archaeological evidence, but those who know the archaeological accounts can see quite clearly that the Judahites portrayed anybody who was successfull as blasphemus and to be destroyed by God.), and whoever helped them as good. When Cyrus the Great(according the Judahites) let the Jews go from their Babylonian exile, they called him the annointed one - Or, Christ Cyrus.(Isaiah 45:1 . . . 44:28 has Cyrus as God's sheppard). So early on, Christ was a common title for kings in the middle east.



Here's an interesting biblical point about the Judahites politics compared to the northern Israelites . . . 2kings14:9, the Israelite king calls the Judahite king a thistle who goes to Lebanon for help because they can't take care of themselves. This is pretty much out of context after may latest re-edits. To say the least, even the Israelites didn't much like the Judahites anti-every one else's religion.



About that Exodus . . . well, there appears to have been an exodus of Hyksos around 1570 B.c. They went into canaan and all; but, this is over a hundred years earlier than when the Bibical exodus is suppose to have happened. In fact, during the supposed biblical exodus, Egypt was enjoying a resurgence of power(before the coming of the mysterious sea peoples . . . Minoans who were to settle down as Phoenicians? . . . and the coming resulting dark ages); this was the time Abu Simble and the great columns at Karnak were built. At that time, Egypt was more powerfull than ever; they built because of the Hyksos walls manned by armies that would travel up and down these walls; they had gates, and they had scribes who would keep track of the comings and goings of those who would go through those gates; guess what? There's no mention of an Exodus at this time.



There's plenty more to say about the inaccuracies of the Old testament. But, I'd like to point out some of the various things mentioned. Things like how the Patriarches would take the gods away from poor little locals, Genesis 31:30, God hardens hearts Exodus 4:2-1, 7:4-5, Deut 2:30; this one, God hardens some tribeman's heart so that Moses has to strike him down. He does it again at Joshua 11:20. The exodus passages has God hardening the heart of the Egyptian Pharoh.



After all the above, in Dueteronomy has the ten commandments in chapter 5. What are these ten commandments? Well, they're certainly no different from the code of hammerabi and chapter 125 of the Egyptian book of the dead. But, I find something else to say about those ten commandments. They are, I'm a jealous god, don't worship other gods(what? I thought there was only one god? Smooth move their god . . . oops, or is that Elohim? Yea, it's Elohim!). Then, it's don't kill your mother; i'm being facetious here, but, the point is that after four plus books of some of the most barbaric writing(and reading), god asking for burnt offerings, jews in sinai eating a halluecegenic mushroom, Exodus 16:14 . . . it came by night after dew had settled in the soil . . . and a little round thing appeared, and all the passages mentioned above, the great cosmic wisesaying from the all powerfull, all wise god is . . . don't rape your mother. Anything else on your mind there god? Well, here's one . . . in 1Samuel chapter 8:10-22, Samuel offers democracy, but the people and ultimately God shouts him down; no, we want to be judged by you Samuel!



----------------------somewhere in here must begin talk about Plato--------------------





My whole point about the Judahites and the Greeks both taking on the Phoenician alphabet comes into full force here. Both of them used their natural language alphabets for their number symbolism as well. This is what scholars call 'Gematria.' Gematria goes back to Plato really. Plato tried to mathematically calculate love, hate, and morality from numbers and geometry. He started this tradition which went on for almost a thousand years really . . . right into the Gospel of John and his Jesus Christ is the 'word' of god. On the Jewish side of this was actually King Josiah around 622 B.C. He was considered of the Davidic line. The religion . . . basically Dueteronomy . . . was that he was to lead them to the future. Well, a Pharoh cut him down, and the Jews had to rethink their religion; they did so while in exile in Babylon. All the prophet literature like Isaiah, Zechariah and so on come about around this time. Their literature was used by somebody, we don't really know who definitively to misrash first the Gospel of Mark. A point that needs emphasizing here is that the Judaic/Christian religion is dictatorship and Messianic/end of the world. But, that's still getting ahead of the story. I can't help asking a question about Jesus and the Davidic line here though. How is Jesus Christ of the Davidic line if he was born of a virgin?


Almost all the social politics and the mytholigization described above occurred long before the Greeks became what we popularly consider the Greeks. The great Soloman temples were Omride; and, they’re amazing. I mean the Israelite temple building goes from like nine hundred to eight hundred B.C. long before the Greeks started coming out of their dark ages. Could there be a relation between the Greek enlightenment and the fall of Israel? I’ve never seen anybody make or persue this question. But, Even Judah was destroyed and the Judahites were taken off the Babylon while Thales was running around from 620B.C to 560B.C. For whatever reason, Thales and Pythagoras got much more excited about mathematics than most other people.


As I’ve said, the Greeks and the Hebrews picked up on the Phoenician alphabetical language system and they went in for the most part radicaly different ways. The Greeks generaly tried to understand the universe. The Hebrews generaly tried to just sweep problems about the universe under the rug with a vague concept, god, that and prove all things without proving anything. This doesn’t mean the Greeks were immune to the whole supernatural religion thing though! Diodorus of Sicily says the Pythagoreans got their religious ideas from the Egyptians(book one, 98).


Diodorus of Sicily is interesting here because he’s b.c. time and notes that hell is made up to keep people inline(book 1.2.2 -”For if it be true that the myths which are related about Hades, in spite of the fact that their subject-matter is fictitious, contribute greatly to fostering piety and justice among men,”). Plato’s hell is Tartarus(Plato, Phaedo 113e). Curiously, the writer of 2Peter says tartarus at 2:4.


More correlations between Plato and the New Testament are . . .


-“keeping the soul unspotted”(Plato Republic Book 10, 621B-C also found in

Epistle of James 1:27

-”believe and you will be saved”(Plato Republic, book 10, 621B-C also found in Luke 8:12)

-”Lake of fire”(Plato, Phaedo, 113A also found in Revelation 20:10)

-”all things work together for the best”(Plato Republic Book 10, 613A and Romans 8:28


I think having that many can’t be an accident; but, one last Plato/New testament tidbit is most shocking of all! "the just man will have to endure the lash, the rack, chains, the branding-iron in his eyes, and finally, after every extremity of suffering, he will be crucified" (Plato Republic II. 361D-362A)


The thing about Plato’s Republic is that it was found amongs the Nag Hammadi library. The Nag Hammadi library was found in like the 1940s. It is a bunch of christian texts that were considered illegal around Emperor Constantine’s time; so, somebody decided they didn’t want them destroyed; so, they hid them in the ground for us to dig up in the 1940s! This is certainly proof enough of the influence of Plato on Christianity! Of course, there’s more to be said.

Interpolating here(I've interpolated my own text many times now!). I've now found evidence in Plato's Republic(again! Plato's Republic is turning into one of the major evidences of the Christian conspiracy!). Socrates through Plato apparently argued that the god passages in Homer sound suspiciously made up!(Plato Republic, Book 2, 377D-E, 378A.) Socrates then further argued that to make the passages legit, one should allegorize(this seems weird; why allegorizing makes things more legit? This too me goes back to the fact as Plato stressed about the nature of mathematics, that all knowledge whether mathematics or poetry is analogy). The Socrates passage through Plato is Republic, Book 2, 380A-B.
- I interpolate here this proof of allegorizing because before, during, and after the supposed life of Jesus Christ, there lived a Philo. Philo has some curious history. His nephew was a general when Titus went to destroy Jerusalem in around 60A.D. What's more, Philo lived in the city of Alexandria. What was he doing there? He was allegorizing the Greek gods(with Plato's religious views as a guide! as explained in this "Gospel of Truth" below) based on the Old Testament. We know that mythologizing of sungods was going on before, during and after the supposed life of Jesus Christ!
- I'm going to continue my latest interpolating right here. Another curious historical individual with some bearing one way or another on whether Jesus Christ ever existed was a Josephus. Josephus says he tried out all mystery schools, and different Jewish groups including the Essenes. Then, as a military general, he choose to become Roman. He says that a Roman legion was coming to him and a few others in a cave. They drew straws; and, miraculously to him he drew the right straw. The plan was for whoever drew the right(or wrong depending on your point of view) straw to cut the throats of the others and then commit suicide. Josephus apparently had different plans. He felt the Jews had brought the roman legions upon themselves due to their messianic beliefs in a savior god that will come and sweep all other peoples away and leave them heaven on Earth. Josephus decided the Jews(at least some of them) were crazy and he would rather be a roman. So, he slew his fellow Jews and promptly waved a white flag at the approaching roman legion.
- The story of Josephus gets even more curious. The Roman legion took him immediately to Titus where Josephus told him that the Jews believe due to a Numbers twenty four passage i do believe that they believe a savior will come to wipe away all their perceived enemies. Now, due to the dead sea scrolls and the linguistic comparison of them with the Pauline epistles and some works of Clement of Rome by Robert Eisenman, well I've often felt that it just seems that Josephus was Paul! Robert Eisenman describes in his "James Brother of Jesus" how it seems that Paul killed a "James the Just" who was the leader of the Essenes of the time. Robert Eisenman shows correlations between the Dead sea scrolls, Pauline epistles, Acts, Clementine recognitions, and Josephus's "Antiquities of the Jews." In Josephus's Antiquities by the way, Josephus annoints Titus as the Christ for the Jews to follow. However the above may be the case, the writing style of Josephus and the Pauline epistles are remarkably different. Josephus is very modern and scientific. Pauline writings are very rath of god stuff. So, this appears to kill my idea. But then, I found this remarkable correspondence between the biographies of Paul and Josephus,
 
"Josephus: Shipwrecked on voyage to Rome

"But when I was in the twenty-sixth year of my age, it happened that I took a voyage to Rome ... At the time when Felix was procurator of Judea there were certain priests of my acquaintance ... whom on a small and trifling occasion he had put into bonds, and sent to Rome to plead their cause before Caesar ...

Accordingly I came to Rome, though it were through a great number of hazards by sea; for as ourship was drowned in the Adriatic Sea, we that were in it, being about six hundred in number, swam for our lives all the night; when, upon the first appearance of the day, and upon our sight of a ship of Cyrene, I and some others, eighty in all, by God's providence, prevented the rest, and were taken up into the other ship.

And when I had thus escaped, and was come to Dieearchia, which the Italians call Puteoli."

- Josephus, Life,3

St Paul: "Shipwrecked on voyage to Rome"

"Felix, willing to show the Jews a pleasure, left Paul bound." - Acts 24.27.
"They talked between themselves, saying, This man doeth nothing worthy of death or of bonds. - Acts 26.31.

"It was determined that we should sail into Italy ... And entering into a ship of Adramyttium ... we came to Myra ... And there the centurion found a ship of Alexandria sailing into Italy ... they sailed close by Crete. But not long after there arose against it a tempestuous wind ... no small tempest lay on us ... But when the fourteenth night was come, as we were driven up and down in Adria ... And falling into a place where two seas met, they ran the ship aground; and the forepart stuck fast, and remained unmovable, but the hinder part was broken with the violence of the waves.

The centurion ... commanded that they which could swim should cast themselves first into the sea, and get to land. And the rest, some on boards, and some on broken pieces of the ship. And so it came to pass, that they escaped all safe to land. And after three months we departed in a ship of Alexandria ...

And landing at Syracuse ... and came to Rhegium: and after one day the south wind blew, and we came the next day to Puteoli."

- Acts 27,28"
- This is only one thing, but considering the Robert Eisenman linguistic/historical analysis of biblical literature mentioned above, I feel that some of the Pauline epistles and Acts(certainly the dealings with James the Just) suggests that some of Paul is Josephus!
-Some people try to argue that Josephus wrote the Gospel of Mark. I don't for the same reason that stopped me from taking this idea that Paul was Josephus seriously untill I found the above correspondence between Josephus shipwreck to rome and Pauls. The Gospel of Mark has mistakes of grammar and palistinian geography. Josephus would not have made such mistakes(most likely not based on his Antiquities of the Jews book). But, if Josephus was Paul, and Paul travelled with the likes of Barnabas and Epiphroditus, then I think he inspired them to write James the Just out of history(Robert Eisenman in his "James Brother of Jesus" shows that if there is a historical Jesus, then this historical Jesus is none other than James the Just . . . who was a messianic Jew that Josephus hated).
- Much of below points out some stuff about Paul's epistles and Barnabas. Passages that are smoking guns to the effect that Jesus Christ is a Hellenistic sungod derived from scripture.



One major clue to the influence of Plato on Christianity is that Philo of Alexandria was a rich Jew who was combining Plato’s ideas with the old testament. This is well known and easily checkable. From here it’s about Paul. But, I want to note a few things before his times and then get into Paul a little bit more after.



There's lots of mention of mystery schools in ancient literature. What are they? There's some good guesses i think, but the truth is we shall never really know because they apparently were considered a secret. Once initiated, you were not allowed to tell the outside world the goings on inside these mystery schools as revealed by a passage of Herodotus, book 2, chapter 61 of the "Histories"(de silencourt translation), in which he essentially says that he's not allowed to say what the mysteries are. The mysteries were a secret on pain of death; this is why the christians were persecuted in the early first millenium; because they were revealing mysteries; they were making them 'flesh'. In a revealing passage by Barnabas, a kind of right hand man who followed Paul and continued Paul's efforts, we see why people like Barnabas and Paul were trying to make up a new really sungod . . .



"then he clearly manifested himself to be the son of god. For had he not come in the flesh, how should men have been able looked upon him, that they might be saved?"



This is in the Epistle of Barnabas chapter 4:13-14. The very next passage is full of sungod talk suggesting exactly what Jesus Christ is . . . a sungod. Jesus Christ is the son of god, that is . . . the 'Sun' of of God.



I'd like to get back to the whole 'the mysteries were a secret' point for a second. Herodotus was writing in the four hundreds B.C. time frame. So for those hundreds of years, there were Sungods of Dionysius and the Egyptian(the Egyptian sungods goes back to Ra and thousands of years before the Greeks), yet, we can't say much about them. Actually, we can, but it's kind of hard to dig it all up, translate it all and present it all; you kind of have to go to Egypt for one to do it; and, I'm in no position to do so right now. This is why I'm for the most part going to skip right along to Paul and and his epistles and show some highlights there. To say the least, there's all kinds of Egyptian artwork of horus being born of a virgin on the walls of the great Egyptian temples; but, there's also a whole bunch of papyrus found in the sarcofocus's of egyptians for hundreds of years prior to the supposed birth and life of Jesus Christ; these papyrus have been scrutinzed and found most revealing of an Egyptian religion that had a sungod(variously Osirus or Horus) that was born of a virgin, had twelve disciples and did similar miriacles and so on. Outside of these revealing archaeological relics in an otherwise dark and shut off age, I'm going to present an interesting passage from Virgil.



Well, actually a few things. One is a passage from a Julian calendar dated 9 B.C. . .



"The Providence which rules over all has filled this man with such gifts for the salvation of the world as designated him as savior for us and for the coming generations; of wars he will make an end, and establish all things worthily. By his appearing are the hopes of our forefathers fulfilled; not only has he surpassed the good deeds of earlier times, but it is impossible that one greater than he can ever appear. The birthday of God has brought to the world glad tidings that are bound up in him. From his birthday a new era begins."



Now for the Virgil passage from his "Eclogue 4",



"Come are those last days that the Sybil sang: The ages' might march begins anew. Now comes the virgin, Saturn reigns again: now from high heaven descends a wondrous race. Thou on the newborn babe-who first shall end . . . That age of iron, bid a golden dawn . . . Upon the broud world-chaste Lucina, smile: Now thy Apollo reigns."



This passage would be dated around 37 B.C. Clearly, people from all walks of life whether Jewish, Greek, or Roman were looking for a coming Messiah. Recently, there was found a ink printed stone 'dead sea scroll' which revealed a Jesus Christ before Jesus Christ. This "Revelation of Gabriel" speaks of a Simon who was resurrected after three days. The truth is there were many people around the first century B.C. who were willing to sacrifice their lives(just like the human bombs of today in the middle east!) to be the coming Messiah. This "Revelation of Gabriel" stone tablet has been dated into the first century B.C.


One more thing to note from Herodotus in relation the above clues that there was a prevalent sungod mythology all over the Mediterranean . . . Herodotus 2:43(histories) says the Egyptians personified the twelve constellations, “to portion out its course into twelve parts. They obtained this knowledge from the stars. (To my mind they contrive their year much more cleverly than the Greeks, for these last every other year intercalate a whole month, but the Egyptians, dividing the year into twelve months of thirty days each, add every year a space of five days besides, whereby the circuit of the seasons is made to return with uniformity.) The Egyptians, they went on to affirm, first brought into use the names of the twelve gods”


I’m giving clues that there’s these sungods and the word of god that has twelve followers. I’ve also given clues that much the mythology of this sungod predates the greatest sungod of them all - Jesus Christ! But, specifically, what happened?


--------------------------------------I think I’m going to rewrite much of below in light of my reading of Eisenman’s “James brother of Jesus”



I really don't have to go much further; but, there's just some goodies I've gots to get down here! People have often argued that because there was a whole bunch of christian sects that there must have been some central force; it must have been a central historical Jesus Christ. It seems to me that the real central force behind all the different christian sects was that all the cultures back then were agricultural, learned about the suns passage through the zodiac and made their various sungods. And then, the Roman empire took over the mediterraenean and concentrated all that energy. People all over were trying to unify the concepts. One was Paul. And, to connect a little bit with my point above about the difference between the Greeks steps towards rational thought compared to the Judahites social/political vagueness gaming, I quote this.

"9:22 To the weak became I as weak, that I might gain the weak: I am made all things to all men, that I might by all means save some." , and then I move on to show some highlights of Paul.(this was another bit of interpolation on my part; so, you might notice a break in the flow; but, it's not to poorly placed!)



Most people would start any discussion of the New Testament with the Gospels, perhaps Matthew. But, any real New Testament scholar knows that the Pauline epistles came first. That's clue enough that the Gospels were made up; they were made up after the Pauline epistles! Now, for some stuff found in the Pauline Epistles.



Paul says many times that he gets his ideas that there was a Christ(usually, he doesn't even mention Jesus Christ, but a Christ) 'from scripture.' Romans 1:2 and 1Corinthians 15:3-4 are two that I'll mention. It's mentioned many times throughout the new testament really.


Interpolating here! This is perhaps my favorite Pauline confession that Jesus Christ is derived from scripture!. “16:25 Now to him that is of power to stablish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began,”



Paul is actually in competition with others . . . one an Apollo from Alexandria. He and other groups have make up tests to test whether these others are speaking something significant. Apparently, there's tests made up to test people like Paul if they're authentic or not in Dideche Chapter 11. An example in the New testament is 1John4:1. Of course, it's mentioned many times throughout the New Testament that there's others preaching their own version of a coming messiah. The Jews for one are said in the Gospels to not really believe that Jesus Christ is the coming Messiah. The thing about Paul is that he's claiming authority because he's innovated this idea of 'deriving from scripture.' "Deriving from Scripture' seems to be a Paul innovation. Any sensible person would look up these passages and realize this is not really mathematical derivation. Yes, he derived it from scripture, but this 'midrash' process is not really mathematics. It's poetry at best. Apparently, back then, people didn't realize this. But, let me give some more!



Hebrews 7:1-3 mentions a Melchizadek who is similar to Jesus Christ; why? Because he's derived from scripture . . . in this case, Genesis 14:18-20. Basically, Melchizek is kind of pre-new testament Jesus Christ long before Jesus Christ, and he makes an appearance in this earliest of Pauline epistle because he was an early model for Jesus Christ.



In 1Corinthians15:5-8, Jesus is first seen by a Cephas, then of the twelve, and then by . . . five hundred people! This is two thirds quite contrary to the Gospel accounts.



Isaia 7:14 says a lord shall be born of a virgin and called Immanual. The Gospel of Matthewe quotes this even calling Jesus Christ Emannuel.



There's a lot more that could be mentioned of course, but, I thought I'd mention this one and Jesus coming from Nazareth.



Zechariah 9:9 seems to be the midrash for Jesus coming into Jerusalem on an ass . . . or a colt . . . or both depending on which gospel you read! They all read this scripture a different way, and Jesus is hence made to come in Jerusalem sometimes on one, sometimes on another, and sometimes on both at the same time!



Well, one more, Psalm 22, "God why have you forsaken me?"





The remarkable thing about the references above about the Julian calendar and Virgil and all is that after the birth of Jesus Christ, you would expect a hugh amount of literature and artwork all around the mediterraenean about Jesus Christ performing miracles, and the word of the Gospel coming quickly. But, instead, out of hundreds of historians of the time period, the dead sea scrolls that go from b.c. time period to 100 A.D., to the christian catacombs, there is zero mention of Jesus Christ. Instead, you see Hermes in the catacombs and all kinds of other sungods.



And, why do we see all kinds of other forms of christianity being formed hundreds of years after the supposed life of Jesus Christ if the facts were clear from the very start?


----------------------------------------here’s a good place to start talking about Paul and James and all.


The question is who made up Jesus Christ? Well if the plato influence on Philo of Alexandria is any clue, the Alexandrians did! That’s just me; I don’t know; nobody quite knows. Let’s just point out some history of this times starting with Philo.


Philo, had two nephews through his brother; one of Philo’s nephews was married to a Jewish princess Bernice for awhile(Marcus Julius Alexander)(Bernice is mentioned in Acts 25:23). Later, she had an affair with Emperor Titus(Roman emperor; the Roman emperor that went to destroy the temple of Jerusalem in the 60s A.D.); after her affair with Emperor Titus, she falls off the map. Philo’s other nephew Tiberius Julius Alexander was like the second general of Emperor Titus during the Emperors conquering of Jerusalem around the 60s(A.D.). Bernice and Marcus entertained Paul in their court of Caessaria.


Bernice had two other sisters, Drussila and “mariamne.” Drussila was also getting by in life by marring into Roman courts, in her case Roman governor of Judah, Felix.(acts 24:24)


Does Mariamne appear in the New testament? Some people wonder - mariamne/mary. I’ll leave it at that!


There’s some other interesting herodians mentioned in the New Testament. Salome daughter of Herodias appears in Mark 6:21-29 where she’s dancing so seductively, the Herodian asks her whatever she wants she gets; she says “the head of John the Baptists.”


There’s some other mentionings of Herodians in the Gospels and Pauline epistles; but, what to make of it all? Some want to read quite a bit in it all. Some say the Gospels are romans converting the Jews to a less Messianic, pro-roman(Matt 22:21 and elsewhere ) religion. Let me just mention one more curious Roman figure mentioned in the New Testament.


Epiphroditus was the Secretary of first Roman Emperor Titus then Domitian. Josephus mentions him as really into history and religion of all peoples. Paul says Epiphroditus was an Apostle of Christianity(Philipians 2:25). Well, it says fellow co-worker, messenger and soldier.


What’s going on here? Paul is clearly entertaining Roman emperors and Roman puppet tax farmers Herodians. I can’t get into the nearly thousand pages of Robert Eisenman’s “James brother of Jesus” here, but in it, he shows that Paul is a Herodian. He shows that Paul assassinates James the Just(who is James the less in the Gospels, Mark 15:40). He shows that James the Just(according to the dead sea scrolls anyways!) was getting backed by a Queen Helena of Adiabene(acts 8:26-27; Eisenman decodes Queen Helena of Adeiaben as the Ethiopian queen). This gives the Romans enough reason to worry. James the Just was highly influential amongst jews in the Diaspora(a word saying the jews of the roman empire everywhere). Acts 24:5 - The jews were playing gorilla warfare all over the empire. He shows throughout “James brother of Jesus” that many traditions and descriptions of Jesus Christ in the Gospels are very similar to James the Just; he shows that whoever Jesus Christ is in the Gospels is James the Just. James the Just was overwritten, written out of history by those who were writing up the Hellenistic gospels in the style of Philo of Alexandria.


Nobody knows who wrote which gospel where; but, I think I’ve given enough to suggest a sungod mythology in the brewing for thousands of years before Christianity with the Egyptians above; and, most recently, I’ve hinted at what Robert Eisenman is hinting at for thousands of pages. Robert Eisenman shows the similarities between Jesus Christ as portrayed in the Gospels and James the Just. But, he never gets away from how James is considered the brother of Jesus Christ. He mentions that there is an idea that brother in this case does not mean actual blood-brother, but kind of like gang-brother; being part of a cult. I stress this because as Robert Eisenman shows in his “James brother of Jesus”, Origen, a church father says so! Robert Eisenman notes that Origin found a copy of Josephus that attributes the fall of Jerusalem to James the Just and not Jesus Christ! Eusebius(Emperor Constantine’s christian right hand man) and Jerome both say they saw the same passage!


-Origin “Against Celsus”-1-47 says that . . . Well, I’m just going to cut and paste here! “For in the 18th book of his Antiquities31463146 [ἀρχαιολογίας. S.] Cf. Joseph., Antiq., book xviii. c. v. sec.2. of the Jews, Josephus bears witnessto John as having been a Baptist, and as promising purification tothose who underwent the rite. Now this writer, although notbelieving in Jesus as the Christ” Further along, not much more than a sentence or two! “Paul, a genuine disciple of Jesus,says that he regarded this James as a brother of the Lord, not so muchon account of their relationship by blood, or of their being brought uptogether, as because of his virtue and doctrine.”


That’s right, Origin does not quote the Josephus passages that Christians believe are genuine(and only mentioned by Eusebius; hence, you just, know that Eusebius forged those passages!). He says “Josephus does not know of a Jesus Christ; in fact, he(Josephus) says James is a ‘brother’ of Jesus Christ; not a blood brother(reread the Origin quotes I just cut and pasted from Origin’s “Against Celsus” above, if you have to!); meaning, James is a brother of Jesus Christ the way gangsters are ‘brothers’ of one another.


One can certainly say that Christianity was an effort to synthesize Jewish religion with Hellenistic sungod religions and be pro-roman at the same time! I want to move on and point out some further remarkable passages found amongst the early christian church fathers. Well, maybe I should note that Domitian took over from Emperor Titus. He executed Epiphroditus and banished Domittela who was married to a relative of his(Emperor Domitian); he did so because they were taking up the Jewish religion. Domitian was assassinated by a Stephanos according to Suetonius. They did it in retaliation of the killing of Epiphroditus! Moving on now . . . ;


Justin Martyr ‘defended himself from Pagans(Christians word for those who are not christian), by saying “CHAPTER XXI — ANALOGIES TO THE HISTORY OF CHRIST.

And when we say also that the Word, who is the first-birth of God, was produced without sexual union, and that He, Jesus Christ, our Teacher, was crucified and died, and rose again, and ascended into heaven, we propound NOTHING DIFFERENT from WHAT YOU BELIEVE regarding those whom you esteem sons of Jupiter. For you know how many sons your esteemed writers ascribed to Jupiter: Mercury, the interpreting word and teacher of all;AEsculapius, who, though he was a great physician, was struck by a thunderbolt, and so ascended to heaven; and Bacchus too, after he had been torn limb from limb; and Hercules, when he had committed himself to the flames to escape his toils; and the sons of Leda, and Dioscuri; andPerseus, son of Danae; and Bellerophon, who, though sprung from mortals, rose to heaven on the horse Pegasus. For what shall I say of Ariadne, and those who, like her, have been declared to be set among the stars?”


Justin Martyr further says as an excuse that the reason all the religions including Christianity are analogous is that the devil went back in time and set them up to confuse people of his times(and ours!)



I'm not really sure exactly where I want to insert(interpolate!) this latest finding; but, this latest finding(by others; don't know if the person I heard this from found it first; so, I'm not going to worry about referencing to a given person) nails down three out of four gospels authorship. The reference is Iraeneus "Against Heresies", book 3, chapter 11, section 7. Here, it is revealed that Mathew comes from the Ebonites, Luke comes from Marcion(who put together the gospels and Pauline epistles for the first time), and John comes from a Valentinus, and mark comes from some 'separatists.' This is so frustrating; you just want to tear your hair out. It just about tells everybody involved in this conspiracy, and then, in the end, it says Mark was made by some obscure 'separatists.'


Iraneus further notes, “Ireneaus "Against Heresies" chapter 21, book 2, says the twelve apostles were not the twelve constellations of the zodiac;” in other words, they were!

Well, acts 7-9/14 tells you that the stories of Joseph and Jesus Christ are 'analogous.' The link indicated shows that Tertulian says that Jesus Christ was modeled on Joseph in the book of Genesis.



And, in Genesis 37-9/11, we see that Joseph is an astrologer. Joseph had twelve brothers and started his ministry at age 30 just like Jesus Christ. Joseph is a sungod, and so is Jesus Christ who is modelled after Joseph(clearly).






I'd like to finish by saying that my researches in all this bible stuff shows me that from the rules of ethics of the ten commandments to the sungods, gematria, and midrash shows that everyone from the Judahites to the various mystery religions were trying to make a kind of mathematical religion. To make things short, their idea of a mathematical religion is a kind of Ptolemaic mathematical religion. Eudoxus to Ptolemy made a mathematical science of the motions of the stars and planets; but, they're ideas were drawn from wrong assumptions - that of the earth centered viewpoint which is the natural beginning perspective of all humans. In a similar way, christianity and all the sungod religions before it were a kind of Ptolemaic religion; they drew from unquestioned assumptions. These assumptions were about taking the mystery of the universe at face value. These sungod religions are ultimately a play on ignorance.



Tertulian who said, "I believe because it is absurd." Further "The Son of God was born: there is no shame, because it is shameful.

And the Son of God died: it is wholly credible, because it is unsound.

And, buried, He rose again: it is certain, because impossible."



And finally, let’s end this with a quotation of Eusebius who quotes Plato,


"XXXI. That it will be necessary sometimes to use falsehood as a remedy for the benefit of those who require such a mode of treatment(that is Eusebius Preparatio Evangelica, book 12, chapter 31." This is the chapter heading(the style of the age); if you go to this book and the chapter, you'll see that Eusebius quotes Plato's Laws
 
I don't think the phrase tl;dr has been so appropriate.
 
Is there perhaps a more condensed form of your viewpoint somewhere?
