But NOT the real "New Testament," mostly. The Foursquare Gospel dunked me after I read the Book of John 5 times through. I couldn't stay in their church, but darn, there's good stuff in the "Babble." I remember a pastor of some kind trying to recruit me, asking me about Jesus, and I said something enthusiastic and he harrumphed and went away! God forbid we hear Jesus!
The old and new testament are all things to all people, it was written, re written, edited, excised, edited again over and over, not to mention the many translations by men with their own agendas and opinions.
And this IHSus, Yahooshua as it sounds, Joshua (means savior in Hebrew), was known to the Greeks as IHS, the signet of Dionysos, the Greek god of wine, who could turn water into wine. IHS is Iota Eta Sigma. In Greek the eta is both a consonant and a vowel, depending on i'ts placement, at the begginng of a word it is consonant with a harsh sound, in after the beginning it has a soft sound like the English or Latin 'E, the Romans added the male ending of "US" hence IHSus, .
The Letter I in Latin also has two sounds, at the beginning of a name or word it has a sound similar to the French and subsequently English letter J, in the middle of a word it has the sound of our "E" hence Iulius was pronounced something like Dzuleeus, or French Julius and IHSus, Iesus as Dzesus or Jesus.
Dionysos or Dionysus, means literally Son of God, and god to the Greeks was Zeus, the Latin for God is Dios.
The Greeks celebrated Dec 25, the day that the sun "arose from it's grave, after laying three days, after the Winter solstice, as the Dionysia, Romans adopted the Dionysia as the Bacchanalia, named for their version of Dionysos - Bacchus.
In my opinion, Jesus and his pacifist religion was cooked up by a diaspora Rabbi, after the Romans raped Jerusalem, and stole it's wealth from the Temple.
They couldn't defeat Rome from without, with force, so they went at it from within, by preaching a pacifistic messiah.,with the hero, the savior being cobbled together from the various savior's of the various religions of the time. None of the so called apostles, those displayed in Leonardo DaVinci's Last Supper, or in the books of the "Gospel" lived at the time of this hero savior. I doubt that they existed at all, the chapters were documents cobbled together, scrubbed, edited, interpolated, re edited over and over again, starting during the reign of Constantine.
As a consequnce you can find many Jesus's, each with their own characteristic, a man of action, of violence, who would have his own opponents slain like Trump in Luke 19:17, or a man of peace like the Jesus in Matthew.
There certainly was no man named Saul or Paul, a tax collector. He was modeled on Appolonius of Tyana whom some scholars think is the model for Jesus.
The travelogue of Appolonius is the same as that for Paul, but in reverse.
And the Greeks had no word for Messiah, but since the Hebrews annointed their messiahs (plural intended) with oil, the Romans used the Greek word for rub with oil Christos for messiah,also see Crisco.
The Papal Chi Rho was the signet of the warrior goddess Ishtar (aka Venus) and its use on the shields of the legion of Constantine at the Battle of the Milivian Bridge, was psychological warfare, for Ishtar was feared for never having lost a battle by the superstitious people of the Mediterranean and Mesopotamia.
The Latin Equivalent of the Greek Chi is the letter X, the Latin Equivalent of the Greek letter Rho is the letter P, thus the X superimposed over the P is the Chi Rho of the Papal seal, used throughout Christendom., the very symbol that Constantine painted on the shields of his Legion at the battle of the Milivian bridge.
They prefer miseducation.
No, this is the Mike Johnson generation. If it ain't in the Bable it ain't the truth. All they need to know is what is in the Babble.
This is exactly how biblical literalists think.
