Does Josephus prove a historical Jesus? | Freethought Nation
Does Josephus prove a historical Jesus? | Freethought Nation
Right, Josephus was a Jewish sellout, mind you he had little to no choice at that, working for the Romans, rewriting history of the Jews and everything else to please the imperial Roman victors.
"Moreover, the evidence points to the appropriate biblical term as “Chrestians,” not “Christians.” In this regard, if we look at the Codex Sinaiticus (Acts 11:26), one of the earliest extant manuscripts of the Bible, dating to the fourth century, we can see that the original word is “Chrestians,” with the “e” or eta (Η) erased and replaced by an “i” or iota (Ι)."
http://freethoughtnation.com/does-josephus-prove-a-historical-jesus/
The above article constitutes an in-depth analysis that leaves little wiggle room for the Josephus apologists.
For the background, in my other Josephus article appears this list of arguments against authenticity:
1. It was not quoted or referred to by any Christian apologists prior to Eusebius, c. 316 AD.
2. Nowhere else in his voluminous works does Josephus use the word "Christ," except in the passage which refers to James "the brother of Jesus who was called Christ" ("Antiquities of the Jews," Book 20, Chapter 9, Paragraph 1), which is also considered to be a forgery.
3. Since Josephus was not a Christian but an orthodox Jew, it is impossible that he should have believed or written that Jesus was the Christ or used the words "if it be lawful to call him a man," which imply the Christian belief in Jesus' divinity.
4. The extraordinary character of the things related in the passage--of a man who is apparently more than a man, and who rose from the grave after being dead for three days--demanded a more extensive treatment by Josephus, which would undoubtedly have been forthcoming if he had been its author.
5. The passage interrupts the narrative, which would flow more naturally if the passage were left out entirely.
6. It is not quoted by Chrysostom (c. 354-407 AD) even though he often refers to Josephus in his voluminous writings.
7. It is not quoted by Photius, Patriarch of Constantinople (c. 858-886 ad) even though he wrote three articles concerning Josephus, which strongly implies that his copy of Josephus' "Antiquities" did not contain the passage.
8. Neither Justin Martyr (110-165 AD), nor Clement of Alexandria (153-217 AD), nor Origen (c.185-254 AD), who all made extensive reference to ancient authors in their defence of Christianity, has mentioned this supposed testimony of Josephus.
9. Origen, in his treatise "Against Celsus," Book 1, Chapter 47, states categorically that Josephus did NOT believe that Jesus was the Christ.
10. This is the only reference to the Christians in the works of Josephus. If it were genuine, we would have expected him to have given us a fuller account of them somewhere."

"There remain those who claim that the long-discredited passage about Jesus Christ in the writings of the Jewish historian Josephus called the "Testimonium Flavianum" is "genuine," either in whole or in part. The most scientific analysis demonstrates handily that the TF is a forgery IN TOTO. Here is one article of mine that critically analyzes the TF, specifically as a rebuttal to Bart Ehrman:

The Grateful Dead - Go To Heaven (Album, April 28, 1980)
The red poppy is also old symbol of the moon, hence its inconspicuous presence often can be found in the Churches' stained glass windows, in Greek mythology the moon is symbolized by the goddess Diana, who is also associated with the hunt and birthing, in Egypt it is god Thoth and/or Osiris, upon received the lunar eye from his son Horus, the morning sun.
The moon, in itself, is an old symbol for the collective consciousness, which, according to the ancient Egyptian metaphysics, is represented by one of three immortal lights, souls, out of the total seven that make up the human being, called Khu -- the divine intelligence -- symbolized by the full moon, and a lunar bird with the face of the person it represents, associated with the empathy and thought, who returns back to the moon when all is said and done.
Traditionally. the silver moon mirrors the sunlight reflecting in the dark waters below where life's memories are stored, thoughts and all, while the memories of the dead are kept on the moon, so is the collective "lunar" consciousness reflects from the individual "solar" experiences during the lifetime(s). The right side is also traditionally identified with the feminine, giving, lunar energy. In Spiritual language, while God of Hosts represents the physical world, the elemental earth, the body, and the Lord is identified with the mind, consciousness, awareness, the elemental water, a subtle but metaphysically important distinction.
Some claim that they have used the ibogaine, a naturally occurring psychoactive substance found in plants in the Apocynaceae family, as a way to contact the dead relatives, on the moon, however, the hallucinogenic trip required is very intense, long lasting, takes about three days, and is not very pleasant from what i heard.
The red poppy is also the source of opium, a major pain killer, which goes hand and hand with the war, big source of pain and suffering, hence it is not that surprising that the military forces of all major empires throughout history fought for the control of the opium production. The red colour represents life, love, blood, action, the first colour we see when we are born, while black represents death, hate, soil, rest; and the last colour we see when we die.
Together with the colour white, representing innocent spiritual purity of the soul, the black and red for the sacred colours of the ancient Egyptian high priests, with the formal state colours being red, white and blue; the red crown for the life-giving fertile delta of the Lower Egypt, the white crown for the desert sands of the Upper Egypt, and the blue war crown. A colour tradition that can be still seen today in many nation's flags.
Never Forget! Never Again! To Our Glorious Dead, Hip Hip Hooray!!!

Thunderbolts of the Gods Full Documentry
God is the body. I was predicting this sort of "debate" of mind over matter/Big Bang gravitational Black Hole of Dark Energy.
"Theism predicts a mind independent of the body" ... 8/ that's Lord they mean, which represents the mind, good Lord is conscious mind which is part of the body, evil dark Lord is demon takes control of the body and abuses it. Spirit is the space, soul is the emotional feeling of time. Jesus, no wonder it's so confusing! That is why i tried to simplify it:

He is correct if he is referring to the Lord God of the Abrahamic religions. However, metaphysically speaking, i define the word God as the body: the body is holy the rest is a story, and the word Lord as the mind, hence, when it comes to the blood thirsty God of the Old Testament it is the dark Lord on steroids who is more likely an evil force of an ancient Sinai Mount volcano deity gone monotheist extremist.

Pope: When faith becomes an ideology, it can make Christians hostile and...
http://www.addictinginfo.org/2013/10/21/pope-francis-right-wing-christians/
"According to Radio Vatican, the Pope said:
“In ideologies there is not Jesus: in his tenderness, his love, his meekness. And ideologies are rigid, always. Of every sign: rigid. And when a Christian becomes a disciple of the ideology, he has lost the faith: he is no longer a disciple of Jesus, he is a disciple of this attitude of thought… For this reason Jesus said to them: ‘You have taken away the key of knowledge.’ The knowledge of Jesus is transformed into an ideological and also moralistic knowledge, because these close the door with many requirements. The faith becomes ideology and ideology frightens, ideology chases away the people, distances, distances the people and distances of the Church of the people. But it is a serious illness, this of ideological Christians. It is an illness, but it is not new, eh?”"
"In September, Pope Francis attacked “savage capitalism” and took up the plight of the unemployed against a system that worships money. Earlier that month, the Pope also criticized conservative Catholics for focusing so much on abortion, same-sex marriage, and contraception. And in July, Pope Francis put the brakes on hating gay people, saying that we shouldn't judge or marginalize them."

Is Chlorella a Powerful Natural Detoxification Tool?
" I only recommend supplementing with Broken Cell Wall chlorella, because this is the only form that allows your body to use this powerful detoxification agent. Another concern when choosing your chlorella is to be sure that the source waters where it is grown and harvested are free of any contamination. Since chlorella is a natural green food, it will be affected by polluted water and will retain environmental toxins if it's grown in contaminated waters."

Andrew Collins: Discovery Beneath The Pyramids 1/2 [Video]
Andrew Collins: Discovery Beneath The Pyramids 1/2 [Video]
The Three Pyramids of Egypt aligned both to the Orion's belt and to, and more accurately, the constellation of Cygnus. The big star Deneb in the tale of the Swan is where the entrance to the underground cave is, the existence of which was denied until recently by the Egyptian Supreme Council of self-appointed "experts," located underneath a bird temple, where numerous mummies of birds where found, at the north-west side of the Giza Necropolis, leading to the Great Pyramid, as an emergency escape route perhaps. Google surface penetrating satellite imaging has also confirmed it.
The three pyramids are aligned so that when the three brightest stars of Cygnus were rising at the spring equinox becoming visible right at the top of all three pyramids, making it look like they had a bright light set atop. Hence the three wise men with slight variations in sizes and alignments along with the appropriate the rising of the phoenix metaphor.

Seidenstraße - the making of... [30c3]
Oh my me! That's me in the video, on a few occasions when Jeff Mann does his presentation talking about the InterAccess Gallery in Toronto, starting around 12:12, when he is talking about the Amsterdam -- Toronto conjoined dinner.
It was live webcast which was projected on the walls at the end of both tables, thus table in Amsterdam upon reaching the wall showed the live video feed of the table in Toronto continuing the intercontinental festivities, and the other way around in Toronto.
The dinner was also served via remote-controlled mechanical arms that poured wine, clinked glasses, and tossed salads by the Amsterdam hosts for our Toronto diners and vise-versa.
During the dinner, Dmytri and others were talking through a robotic fish on the table which was opening its mouth with a speaker inside every time someone spoke in the microphone.
I was the chef in charge of the Toronto side of the table cooking for the dozen or so people seated around it, i made all bunch of Russian dished from what i remember for the occasion. I have almost forgot about it until now. After this event i was invited to do a Russian food night at MeMe Cafe in Cobourg, Ontario.
Then the following segment at 12:19 shows me playing guitar in a green plaid shirt with a green mohawk. Awesome, good memories. It was much fun living in Toronto in the late nineties, so much art was happening it was unreal. Some days there were 20-30 art opening and all were better then the other. Then all hell broke loose when the evil, crazy zombies from the outside got loose and invaded the downtown core.
In the early naughties, many of the notorious InterAccess and Idiosyntactix artists, including the Idiosyntactix founder Dmytri Kleiner, have fled to Europe, primarily to Berlin, which became a sort of Toronto art scene in diaspora. Good old times! 8)
