Origins of Jesus Christ

[Divos]

You really are a piece of work. Nowhere in your previous do you show me any Josephan reference to a Jacob, let alone a James. You're just throwing up dust like all mythers.

You really don't have a clue about the Ananus/James passage in Josephus. It's obvious.

STOP WASTING MY TIME. I won't be responding to you again unless/until you address the Ananus/ James passage in Josephus directly and also its total dissimilarity to anything in scripture.

Operacast

You mean Jacob??

"James the Just" (Just ? Justus)

He is sometimes referred to in Eastern Christianity as "James Adelphotheos" (Greek: Iάκωβος ο Αδελφόθεος), i.e., "James the Brother of God". The oldest surviving Christian liturgy, the Liturgy of St James, called him "the brother of God" (Adelphotheos).[7]

James, son of Alphaeus

Saint James, son of Alphaeus (Ἰάκωβος, Iakōbos in Greek) was one of the Twelve Apostles of Jesus Christ. He is often identified with James the Less and commonly known by that name in church tradition

James, son of Zebedee

James, son of Zebedee (Aramaic Yaʕqov, Greek Ιάκωβος, died 44 AD) was one of the Twelve Apostles of Jesus. He was a son of Zebedee and Salome,

James the Less

In the New Testament, the name "James the Less" appears only in connection with his mother "Mary" in Mark 15:40, who is also the mother of Joses. "Mary the mother of James" is referred to in two other places, but he is not called "James the Less" there. This "Mary" may have been Mary of Clopas

he thought he had now a proper opportunity. Festus was now dead, and Albinus was but upon the road; so he assembled the sanhedrin of judges, and brought before them the brother of Jesus, who was called Christ, whose name was James, and some others;

There is NO JAMES - ITS ALWAYS JACOB
whom is also father of Joseph

Good grief! What on earth are you babbling about?

It's Divos who's doing the babbling. Divos has come out on a previous page with this cockamamie idea that Josephus's secular chronicle of Jewish history during the 1st century c.e. -- Josephus's Antiquities -- somehow inspired all the gospels and various scriptural texts in the NT. Divos asserts this as a way to show that Jesus the normal human being -- never mind as son of God -- is/was a total fiction from soup to nuts. In fact, there's a cottage industry on the Net today of mytherists who maintain that Jesus the human being and the son of God are alike fictional. It's all based on faux scholarship that's totally bogus and ignorant -- and often based on flagrantly inaccurate and deceptive "facts" about the texts, both scriptural and non-scriptural, where Jesus the human being makes an appearance.

If Josephus really inspired the gospels -- a crank idea that no SECULAR PROFESSIONAL scholar subscribes to -- then how come Josephus's account of a confrontation between the priest Ananus and Jesus's brother James has no parallel to anything in scripture whatsoever? How then could there be any relationship between Josephus and scripture? It's plain that we have in Josephus the word of a non-believer in the Christ angle, a Roman Jew in fact, the word of a contemporary of James, the word of a fellow resident in Jerusalem, who's reporting this clash between Ananus and James as a first-hand secular observer who's aware of Jesus solely as the dead brother of this guy James and not as the savior figure in scripture.

But when we try to ask Divos how come Josephus "the inspirer of the gospels" presents an account of James which tallies with none of the scriptural refs. to James at all, Divos just dances around the issue like the worst kind of troll. It's bloody time for him to put up or shut up. WHY DOES JOSEPHUS'S ACCOUNT OF JAMES BEAR NO RELATIONSHIP TO ANY SCRIPTURAL ACCOUNT OF JAMES AT ALL?

It's growing very clear that Divos won't address this question honestly and directly because he DOESN'T KNOW how to account for that, and accounting for that properly would torpedo his whole crank idea.

Every post of his pointedly avoids this elephant in the living room.

Why are you asking me what's going on? Can't you read the last two or three pages of this thread on your own? Look, if you think this is babbling, try taking a glimpse at an 885-page thread that's going on right now on the Internet over this very question ( What Can We Reasonably Infer About The Historical Jesus? : Christianity • Rational Skepticism Forum )! This is a fraught issue because some of us think that mytherism is tantamount to hate speech.

lol red letters someones mad, hehe

I am trying to Unlock this Josephus, who is he?

It is impossible that Josephus a Jew would have called Jesus the Messiah.
The passage is never quoted by Justin Martyr, Clement of Alexandria, Tertullian, or Origen, despite its enormous apologetic value.
The passage interrupts the narrative flow of the surrounding text, i.e., the passage comes in the middle of a collection of stories about calamities which have befallen the Jews, and if the passage is excised, the argument runs on in proper sequence.
If it is accepted that there was a reference to Jesus, but it has been altered to reflect a favourable view of him, the fact that there has been any tampering with the text at all makes the entire passage suspect; a heavy burden of proof falls upon anyone who defends partial authenticity.

I believe the term Christ is a much later rendition, for example Tacitus/Suetonius quote not "Christ" but "Chresti

eft: Ultraviolet photo of a critical word from the earliest known extant manuscript of Tacitus (second Medicean, Laurentian library, Italy).

The photograph reveals that the word purportedly used by Tacitus in Annals 15.44, chrestianos has been overwritten as christianos. ( The Chrestianos Issue in Tacitus Reinvestigated by Erík Zara, Th.D.)

We have CHRESTIANI on the above inscription, CHRSTOU on the Greek magic bowl from Alexandria (right) and here we have Chresto as regards the fire – each in the first century and before the term has been used in the New Testament gospels.

Clear Evidence that history has being tampered with, to prove the Jesus myth, remember, its the Royals who write the History, and it is they, who create Gods, to ordain themselves with authority.

More Jesus Clones

The principal instigator of the mob was Jesus son of Sapphias, the chief magistrate of Tiberias, an unprincipled man who had an instinct for introducing disorder into matters of consequence, and who exceeded all others in the fomenting of sedition and revolution.

Taking a copy of the laws of Moses into his hands, he now stepped into the midst of the people and said: ‘Fellow citizens! If you cannot for your own sakes bring yourselves to condemn Josephus, then have regard for the laws of your country, which your commander-in-chief intended to betray — and for their sakes hate the crime and bring this insolent criminal to his just punishment!’

When he had said this and the crowd had loudly applauded him, he took some soldiers and hurried to the house I was lodging in with the intent to kill me at once.

I was wholly insensible of this, having fallen asleep from fatigue. But Simon, who was entrusted with guarding my person and had alone remained with me, seeing the onrushing citizens, awoke me and told me of the danger, and urged me to die honorably as a general, by my own hand, before my enemies arrived to force me to it or to kill me themselves.

Such were his words; but I committed my fate to God and hastened to go out to the people.

Changing my garment for one of black and suspending my sword from my neck, I proceeded, by a different road on which I expected no enemy would encounter me, to the hippodrome.

I appeared among the people suddenly, flung myself on my face, and watered the ground with my tears — and so became to them all an object of compassion.”
– Josephus, The Life 27-28 134-139

Here are More Jesus

Jesus son of Gamala
Jesus son of Sapphias
Jesus son of Saphat
Jesus son of Ananus
Jesus Son of Joseph
Jesus son of Damneus
Justus son of Josephus Flavius

Then
Jesus Justus - Jesus Justus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Jesus who is called Justus)

then
Jesus Barabbas (son of the father and Jesus, son of the father respectively)

Acts 1:23
And they appointed two, Joseph called Barsabas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias.

Joseph, who was called "Barsabas" - and was sure named "Justus" AND "Matthias"
then we have "JESUS Barabbas, then a JUSTUS who is called Jesus

Barsabas means "son of Sabus" - bar-sab'-as

e.g.

Jesus son of Sapphias (Jesus Bar_sapphias)
Jesus son of Saphat (Jesus_Bar_saphat)

Gaius Titeous Justus


Joshua ben Gamaliel 63-64-his wife Martha belonged to family of Boethus

Sabus
Sabus is a character in the mythology of the Sabines of Italy, the son of the god Sancus (called by some Jupiter Fidius). The Sabines were said to have taken their name from his
note. The English words sanction and saint are directly derived from Sancus

Sabus is a character in the mythology of the Sabines of Italy, the son of the god Sancus (called by some Jupiter Fidius) or precisely.

Titus Tatius, legendary King of the Sabines

(The FLAVIUS Family are from SABINES (SABUS) (JO_SABUS)

They explain that in Hebrew, only the consonants form the basis of a word and the letters p and b are frequently interchangeable

Thus, Sabas became "Sapa"

and Jupiter, is IOVE which is yahweh (Yah)

Titus is derived from the Legendary King of Sabines (Sabas), and Josephus is names "Titus Flavius Josephus"
then we have a "Son of Sabas" (Barsabas) who is JOSEPH, JESUS and JUSTUS also called Matthias (also father and Brother of Josephus)

The original spelling of 'Josephus' as 'Josepos' in Greek as demonstrated various times throughout the works of Flavius

Jo_Sepos latinized as "Io_Sepus" or "Io_sabus" thus, Joseph is Barabbas or Barnabbas (unrelated to Torah Joseph)

(Titus Flavius Josephus)
TITUS FLAVIUS IOVE SEBUS

Sebus

Acts 1:23
And they appointed two, Joseph called Barsabas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias.
-- Writers of Act, cannot resolve who is who???

Sabus is the son of the god Sancus (called by some Jupiter Fidius/Dius Fidius)

also note, Titus Flavius Sabinus (father of Vespasian), Vespasian being Son of Sabinus, in aramaic, he is also Barabbas or Barnabas.

Titus Flavius Sabinus
Titus Flavius Sebus
--------- IoSEBUS (Josephus ) Jospos > Gospol

Here is another strange Verse
Acts 14:12
Barnabas they called Zeus, and Paul they called Hermes because he was the chief speaker.
- Zeus is also "Jupiter" "Iove" "Yahweh"

(Titus Flavius Josephus)
TITUS FLAVIUS IOVE SEBUS (Son of Sabinus) (Josephus was a Flavian)

Jesus = Justus = joses = Matthias = Zeus = Sabus = Barnabas = Barabus = Joseph = Titus-Flavius ??????

This is one big Jigsaw

WHY DOES JOSEPHUS'S ACCOUNT OF JAMES BEAR NO RELATIONSHIP TO ANY SCRIPTURAL ACCOUNT OF JAMES AT ALL?

There NEVER was a JAMES (You are being FOOLED by king JAMES, he replaced JACOB with JAMES (his name)

TITUS CRUCIFIED ( HIS Armour Placed on a CROSS (Cruciform Trophy) (Effigy of Titus, alike God-Caesar) (Judea Resurrects as part of the Roman Empire-Kingdom of God) (re-enactment of Caesar's Funeral)

Capta = Golgotha

Angels appear to Titus

The Entire Gospel is a Parody
Titus Flavius Josephus = Titus Flavius Sebinus
Josephus > Jospos > Gospol
Josephus is also claimed to be a Prophet

Gospels symbolism found in Josephus Writings (because he wrote it)
(A) He speaks of the “skill” of expelling demons. (pg. 125, 173) - (Ant. B. VI, Ch. II, 1; Ant. B. VIII, Ch. II, 5)
(B) He is the first to speak of a “laser root,” which in later mythology becomes the “mandrake root.” (pg. 42, 595-596) - (Ant. B. I, Ch. XIX, 8; Wars of Jews., Book. VII, Ch. VI, 3)
(C) He perpetuates the idea of “signs” and omens. See the omen of the ‘owl’. (pg. 386) (Ant. B. XVIII, Ch. VI, 7) And also; (pg. 412) (Ant. B. XIX, Ch. VIII, 2)
(D) The idea of “Ghosts.” (pg. 112, 266) - (Ant. B. V, Ch. II, 8; Ant. B. XII, Ch. XI, 2)
(E) The idea of “Angels.” (pg. 119) (Antiquities of the Jews, B. V, Ch. VIII, 3)
(F) “Evil Spirits and Demons.” (pg. 136) (Ant. B. VI, Ch. XI, 2)
(G) Fortune Tellers and “Mediums” (pg. 143) (Ant. B. VI, Ch. XIV, 2)
(H) Prophets telling the future and showing “signs”, wonders and miracles. (pg. 184, 429) (Ant. B. VIII, Ch. VIII, 5; Wars of the Jews, Preface, 11)
(I) The idea of “Witches.” (pg. 202) (Ant. B. VIII, Ch. VI, 3)
(J) He invented the saying of “Grace.” (pg. 250) (Ant. B. XII, Ch. II, 12)
(K) The idea of “Royal Birthright,” which we no longer believe in today.
(pg. 348) (Ant. B. XVI, Ch. VIII, 1)
(L) An eclipse of the moon as a “sign,” a “sign” that could be predicted with accuracy by the astronomers and High Priests of the day (pg. 365) (Ant. B. XVII, Ch. VI, 4)
(M) “Some Supernatural Providence” (pg. 432) Providence (Supernatural), ordained, divine (pg. 466) (W. of J, B. I, Ch. III, 6; W. B. II, Ch. XXXI, 3)
(N) Promoted the phrase “God Forbid.” (pg. 528) (W. B. IV, Ch. III, 10)
(O) Other “signs,” such as a star resembling a sword and a comet that continued a whole year. Check on this! We should be able to tell by what we know about astronomy today if this is really a true statement. (pg. 582) Note that he speaks of these ‘signs’ as appearing before the destruction of Jerusalem. (Wars, B. VI, Ch. V, 3)
(P) He writes of religion as being (for those who can “see” it) as the most profitable “business,” saying, “... to make the altar every day fat with sacrifices of great value.” (pg. 205) (Ant. B. IX, Ch. VIII, 2)

Josephus originates Christian HELL (yet not a Jewish belief)
1. NOW as to Hades, wherein the souls of the of the good things they see, and rejoice in the righteous and unrighteous are detained, it is necessary to speak of it. Hades is a place in the world not regularly finished; a subterraneous region, wherein the light of this world does not shine; from which circumstance, that in this region the light does not shine, it cannot be but there must be in it perpetual darkness. This region is allotted as a place of custody for souls, ill which angels are appointed as guardians to them, who distribute to them temporary punishments, agreeable to every one's behavior and manners.

Since you have never once addressed the dissimilarity to scripture in Josephus's account of either Jacob/Ananus or James/Ananus -- the latter distinction doesn't really matter here at all -- it's now evident you have no intention of addressing just how much this dissimilarity discredits your bald assertion that Josephus inspired the gospels(!). You're like some tawdry web site that throws up more and more irrelevant pop-ups the more it's explored. You're a waste of everybody's time, just like Raven, and a virtual spammer to boot.

It honestly seems to me now that he's never going to address that. He's simply delivering a screed from on high, and bother the very notion of "discussion". I've decided it's a waste of time. If you want to try and get him to pin all this down, go to it. But I doubt you'll get anywhere either (I could be wrong).

P.S. what do YOU think the "origins of Jesus Christ" are?

I believe it's no coincidence that the more colloquial the Koine Greek style in the various scriptures of the N.T., the less the given content has to do with magic and the more it has to do with ethical/social/cultural reforms/norms. I don't pretend to be conversant with Koine Greek, but as I understand from various readings both on and off cyberspace, philological analysis of different sequences in different sections of the various texts in the NT appear to reveal certain discrete textual strata, going from a very colloquial apparently oral style (which seems the earliest) to a highly self-conscious literary style (which seems the latest). Extremely embellished self-consciously literary Koine Greek typifies magic sequences like the Virgin Birth narrative in Luke and much of John, while the most colloquial and apparently oral style typifies much of Mark and many of the Jesus sayings that Matthew and Luke have in common. Note that the latter has mostly to do with a) mundane details, and b) social reform.

From this pattern and from the sometimes disparaging descriptions we find in non-scriptural texts like the Mishnah, Tacitus, Josephus, Pliny, etc., we can see emerge an entirely mortal rabbi, called Jesus/Joshua, who viewed Yahweh as "my Father" and who preached a new Kingdom of God where the weaker would be succored by the stronger and where we would all lose our lives in service to others and where we would all love even our enemies. No question this was utopian and also an apparent threat to Roman authorities. He ended up crucified by the Romans as a result.

After his death, supernatural embellishments were added to his history by his devastated followers.

The interest would be a universal antisenitism. Hence I believe him to be a Newtzibot! Yep, I share your frustration.

You're not far off in guessing that anti-semitism is at least part of the engine for much of this nonsense. I was sickened by a real eye-opener of a thread elsewhere, where one pretty ineffective poster went practically ballistic at the flagrant anti-semitism on display ( Anti-semitism in Biblical Reading (split from 1 Corinthians 11) - FRDB ). Further exploration on that board showed that their more flagrant anti-semites and their more fixated mythers were virtually one and the same.

Well, let us try this "Meshiach" ("annointed" in Hebrew) becomes " Mishikah" (in Aramaic), becomes "Khristos" (in Greek.... translating "annointed") becomes "Christos" in Latin. All four mean the same thing. The Aramaic is a vulgar of the Hebrew and Latin a vulgar of the Greek.

What makes more sense. First that the Hebrew is a vulgate of the Hebrew, which is directly translated into the Greek (in the Septuagint, long before either JC), which is subsequently transliterated into Latin. Second that someone creates "Christos" out of the name of Gaius Julius Caesar and uses it to refer to a Jew, oh, and the word "just happens" to be the exact word used in Greek to translate "Messiah"?

Let us lay odds that this is correct and your "pick a letter from the name of Gaius Julius Caesar" is not. A billion to one against? I say higher.

Fact is

Julius Caesar - First Deified MAN
Julius Caesar - They Created a [WAX_EFFIGY] for his Funeral, which was placed upon a Cruciform, as the Coins show

WAX = OIL - CHRISM/CERUS [Christ] [where we get Kerosene] - the Word has close proximation to the term [Crux/Cross]
