Seven Ways The Church Misrepresented Jesus (A Review Of The Writings of James Tabor)
8:40 im really curious about the source of this claim. Kind of sounds like you're making it up. Wool would only be useful to desert dwelling people on cold nights
BEHOLD, THE PRINCE OF THE CHURCH OF THE EAST ! DID "ALLAH" JUST PRANK THE ARABS BY SETTING THEM UP FOR IDENTITY THEFT? Or was it just an honest misunderstanding on the part of Al-Bukhari, Ibn Ishaq, Al-Muslim, etc, the early biographers of the Arabian Founding Father? Judge for yourself for somebody is fussing about something: "The Ishmaelites have sworn by God their inmost oath that If they had their own Messiah, they would become believers, now that we are trying to arise among themselves their own Muhammad, yet this only increases their hostility..." Shaking their heads, they ask in disbelief: Who is this? This is a Prince? Look at him! He thinks he is a real Prince ! So you think you are a real Prince? What kind of Prince is this? He walks about market place, he eats food in the street corners. He even got no shoes on...! This is just another beggar. Say, "I might be broke but I still believe in God and His Messiah." 🤣 Say, "O God, we follow the Messenger, the Prophet of the Gentiles that we found described in the Torah and the Prophets... Those who follow him, those who follow the light sent down with him shall surely triumph. This is an Arabian Messiah, a Messenger of their own. He reads them the Scriptures to clean them, so that they may be cleaned." Qur'an With this type of verses I came to think that "Allah" set the Arabs up for identity theft, and my intuition is being bore out in the Sirah Rassul Allah, and in Al-Bukhari, Al-Muslim and the rest of the Hadith collectors... "Allah" even uses Messiah and Muhammad interchangeably as in the following verses thereby indicating that "Messiah" and "Muhammad" point to the same being namely Jesus: Messiah is not but a Messenger; other Messengers have passed on before him. Surah 5:75 Muhammad is not but a Messenger; other Messengers have passed on before him. Surah 3:144 Which take us to my initial point that Islam is a Christian Apostolic Tradition in competition with Catholicism whose adherents are referred to as Nazareans in the Qur'an. This Apostolic Tradition can be linked back to the First Apostolic Council of Jerusalem in Acts 15:1-32 as its proponents rejected the Councils of Nicaea and Constantinople for their Trinitarian overtone. It was not until the 9th century that Islam was severed from Christianity and turned into a full blown and independent religion through ruse and deception by Ibn Ishaq, Al-Bukhari, Al-Muslim, etc. But according to Deuteronomy 18:15:19, Messiah is still a Prophet(Messenger) in the likeness of Moses as it is written: "I will sent them the Messiah(HaMashiach), a Prophet like you Moses, him they must listen..." Acts: 3:17-24; John 4:25-26; Acts 7:1-30; Acts 17:1-3 However, it turns also out that the NAZAREANS as the Catholics are called in the Qur'an, have no clue as what the issues are in the polemical exchanges between Jesus and the Jewish establishment. They think it is about "Son of God." According to the book of Acts 11:26 the Jews who fled Jerusalem for Antioch of Syria were called Christians, a derogatory term coined by the pagans to refer to anyone who confessed Jesus to be the awaited Christ foretold in the Torah of Moses. That definition still holds true. Yet in Islam Mary gave birth to the very same Messiah, that is to say Christos in Greek parlance, which makes the Muslims Christians. Some of them even think that being a Christian is the belief that Jesus died for your sins on the cross. Would not "Crossianism" be a proper term to brand that belief? And since the Qur'an makes no mention of the Cross which turns out to be the symbol of the Roman Penal Law, then Islam might be ANTI-CHRIST... WHAT? Others conflate Jesus and Christ deliberately ignoring that Christos is Greek for HaMashiach(Messiah) its Hebraic counterpart... Many even think Jesus spoke Greek or English with American accent. WHAT A SEA OF CONFUSIONS! How did we get here? Martin Luther, I am looking at you ! The point being, Jesus is Muhammad, the Blessed, Praised, and Resurrected Messiah(Christ) and Muhammad actually is Abu Al-Quasim. The Muslims are Christians of a different Apostolic Tradition for the Circumcised rooted in the authority of the Apostolic Council of Jerusalem in Acts 15:1-32 SO IT WAS WRITTEN, SO IT WAS EXPOUNDED ! See Also: 1/The Council Of Jerusalem And The Partition Of Christianity Into Two Apostolic Traditions: Circumcised(Muslims) Vs. Uncircumcised(Paul and His Nazareans or Catholics). 2/The Making Of The Arabian Version Of Caesar Augustus, Sole Ruler Of Mankind.
Moses' name backward is Hashem or 'The Name' In Hebrew. Moses famously asks for and receives the 'Name' , the tetragrammaton. Trying to equate 10 commandments with 42 negative restrictions of the book of the dead is a strech. The belief in One God is shown as existing thousands of years before Moses in the Bible. The Bible never makes the claim that monotheism begins with Moses. This is a strawman argument. Proto semetic language precedes and is the ancestor of modern Hebrew and Hieroglyphs. It would stand to reason that they would share similarities. It doesent mean one begot the other. The modern syntax of Hebrew is post babylonian exile and is known as assyrian block. Evil is neccesary for the existance of free will. It is necessary for the idea of seperateness. Judaism took on the names of the Babylonian months for their calendar. It doesnt mean they assymilated completely with Babylonian religion. To conflate cultural influences with origins is a mistake.
Your content is very reveling. Would it be possible from your end to share additional bibliography you refer for egyptian rituals?
Of course the simpler explanation is that none of these gods were real, and it's just a case of a particular priestly grift being copied by another set of grifters. Just like the flood story adopted from Mesopotamian mythology.
not gonna lie, I liked that video, while you make good points they lean towards a very christian worldview, the fact that you hold to the idea of good and evil in the way that you do suggests that, you were heavily implying them being innately evil rather than amoral and apathetic, either that or you dont see the idea of being amoral the same way as most people who walk the left hand path
What has your experience during your time as a practitioner been with Muslims and Islam? I have heard testimonies of witches saying that evil forces have a hard time targeting practicing Muslims

From the perspective of Eastern and Western religions it appears that monotheism in the west ie Judaism is more of the discovery that YHWH is not another being that can beat up the other gods but that YHWH is beingness itself! The Jewish theological description of the buddhist concept of Buddha mind or Universal Mind. This would match Catholic Theology and Hindu belief of the Self. Man tends to anthropomorphize aspects or elements of reality. Angels and Archangels are similar in this context as polytheistic gods. There is some possible evidence the buddhist made it to the library of Alexandria and therefore might have influenced the Jews and most likely Jesus when He lived there. This may be the story of man coming to realize the truth all enlightened people have realized. Which is, we are all one in God. And monotheism and polytheism become irrelevant terms.
When the Greeks conquered Kemet which they called Egypt. They created a hybrid parental deity in order to combine Egyptian mythology with Greek mythology. So they combined the Egyptian God Thoth with the Greek God Hermes. They called him Hermes Trismegistus III. Who was known as… “The Thrice Great.” He was famous for triumphing over the season of death. Which is what the number 3 almost always symbolizes in World Mythology. Isn't this what the Flavian Dynasty did after conquering the Jews? Didn't they create a new hybrid form of Greco-Roman Judaism? To integrate Jewish mythology with Greco-Roman mythology? Calling him… “Jesus The Christ.” Who is also famous for triumphing over the season of death. As represented by… “The Trinity.” Isn't this a better explanation for the origins of Christianity rather than Harry Houdini magic? Wasn't Paul secretly working for the Flavian Dynasty? Weren't all of the original Roman Catholic Saints' members of the Flavian Dynasty? Weren't all of the original symbols used by the earliest Christians identical to those of the Flavian Dynasty? And wasn't the earliest iconographic image of Jesus The Christ, in a catacomb, under the city of Rome, which was owned by a Flavian Princess? Weren't all of the original Jesus cult texts produced under the oversight of the Flavian Dynasty? Didn't the Flavian Dynasty posses the only remaining copy of the Hebrew Tanakh other than the Greek Septuagint translation? Isn't there Flavian typology in the Gospels? Weren't the canonical texts all back dated like the historical fiction of Gone With The Wind? Wasn't Emperor Vespasian known as the Jewish Messiah? Wasn’t Pope Clement of Rome a Flavian? Wasn't Josephus a temple whore for the Flavian Dynasty? Weren't the Flavian’s, as well as Paul, descended from King Herod? There was no separation of Church and State in the Roman Empire. And Christianity is clearly a Greco-Roman hybrid form of Judaism created by the Flavian Dynasty. As an attempt to adapt, pacify, and integrate the rebellious and defiant Jews into the rest of the Greco-Roman Empire. Just like the Greeks created Hermes Trismegistus to integrate Egyptian mythology with Greek mythology. Then finally Neo-Flavian Constantine chose the Flavian family religion to be the official religion of the entire Roman Empire. In order to consolidate power in his fractured Empire. And then Eusebius edited and rewrote the history of the previous 3OO years. Destroying all contradictory evidence. Such as all of the non-canonical Jesus cult texts. It isn't history it is all simply Greco-Roman mythopoetic literature. Today it is known as Historical Fiction. “What profit hath not this fable of Christ brought us.” Pope Leo X 💙
So what your saying is long story short the Spanish and blacks of the Americas are the real Jews. That’s really want u want to say rt 😊

I love learning the similarities between ancient religions, this was great! Would love to hear your take on any shared lineage between Kabalistic/Jewish magic practices and Celtic/Druid magic?
I love all the various topics you discuss! It provides a big picture, overview and context. I hope you can tune out the critics. Some of those folks aren't giving valid "feedback" but are simply immature types who sadly need to get a life of their own. Keep up the good work! this talk was just as interesting as always.
I really dont think the Jewish people are a chosen people, yaweh is not the farther but an evil entity, something they themselves should not be following and worshipping, not a great thing to be chosen by very likely one of the shatan ( were the name satan came from). Their is something to mankind as a whole but no one tribe is more "chosen" than another, that was one of the many lies of yaweh.
Well YHWH isn’t even the God of the Bible anyway so idk what you’re trying to even talk about rn. Spewing non sense from Babylonian Talmudic Jewish traditions unrelated to the God of scripture.

What a load of bullshit. And you call yourself an occultist? There’s a much bigger influence from ancient Sumeria than from Egypt, and indeed the esoteric side of Judaism comes from ancient Sumeria just as the Hermetic doctrine in ancient Egypt and just as the Mysteries in Greece and the Magi practices in ancient Persia. What you described are cultural influences, not actual foundations within the religion itself, and as I’ve pointed already - Abraham and Sarah were already monotheistic before their descendants coming into contact with Egypt, and all this comes from an earlier spiritual under current that spread far and white through the esoteric doctrine, which saw God not as a personified being but rather as the creative and sustaining principle, this tradition is the Serpent bloodline teachings, and if you haven’t encountered it you shouldn’t call yourself a serious occultist. Finally, the story of Moses parallels that of Ziusudra, Sargon and ultimately Enki - as emerging from the waters, like walking on water for Christians, was a symbol of nobility, of the royal priestly caste, the serpents, going back to the ancient royal bloodline in ancient Sumeria and the gods.
i have tried to date man's moving beyond an earlier UR-relgion to some sense of the 'anti-religion' we're left w/today, & i think this roughly occurred under Alexander--evince macedonian 'conquests' of the east. probably the egyptian 'new kingdom' was the last hurrah of a much older mesopotamian activity, and these activities were all extending out everywhere. what we call 'jewish' was a mix existing w/in this whole activity, this was moving out of the bronze age collapse & our refining of agricultural production . . . ALL cultures were interested in this.
yeah! 5,000 yrs ago people LIVED where they planted their food, there were no need for 'parking lots'--it would have been very hard to understand why someone would travel to areas not accessible by foot. flash forward to today--we're all "assigned consumer serfs," clearly the overlords have taken over the garden . . . this vid looks like something i could make in 'climpchamp!' i am absolutely amazed by the amt of work it takes to upload a youtube vid, this all seems so confusing.

You always lose me by the way you describe god and it's decisions as a man in the sky from a literalist point of view always boggles my mind. As an ex Muslim I learned that literalists are always uneducated on the topic. From my observation you are a walking paradox. You're an occultist who takes scripture literally. As if a cosmic being would write a book. Or need a prophet is hilarious. God is beyond words therefore he doesn't write books. He is all encompassing therefore he doesn't need a prophet or a people. And he is not a he.

In the long run everyone does their will, but we in the moment-to-moment are often in conflict with it and at a loss of what our inner most nature is, or do you presume to have a perfect knowledge and intuition of Self and the divinity which propels our being? "'Do what thou wilt...' is to bid Stars to shine, Vines to bear grapes, Water to seek its level; man is the only being in Nature that has striven to set himself at odds with himself." I certainly agree with you that a lot, if not most, Thelemites take "Do what thou wilt" as a license to have an absence of duty, responsibility, or theology but it is important to understand in light of Crowley's writings that is a misconception. This development is very aptly critiqued in the article Consensus Thelema if you are interested. Crowley repeatably stated will is not want, that 90% of doing one's will involves discipline, and that following the Law of Thelema necessarily means avoiding the interference in the will of your fellow man. "Interference with the will of another is the great sin, for it predicates the existence of another. In this duality sorrow consists. I think that possibly the higher meaning is still attributed to will." An important part of the Comment which many ignore, and which is stated within the book itself, is that questions regarding scripture are to be grounded in the writings of the Prophet. So there is an actual basis for an all-encompassing religious system and not just a blank slate for people to impose their own idiosyncratic beliefs into.
It’s weird and eerie that by 435 a.d. only judaism was considered the only legal non-chistian religion side by side christianity in the Roman empire. All other ethnic, pretty much european(white) forms of knowledge and worship had been outlawed with most of the practitioners converted or murdered by the new christian believers.

That's because the very first christians in Rome were almost entirely from Judea and a christian religion was practiced among ethically jews only. Christian, meant - jew. Anyway, they surely knew the old testament and seen the connection between those two religions
Only the Jews were given dispensation to not have to worship the Roman gods because the Jews were willing to die before they would do that. The Romans figured, dead slaves don't pay taxes so they let them off the hook. After the destruction of the Temple, there were no more sacrifices and so leadership shifted from the Priests to the Scribes which intellectually pointed out to Rome that the Christians were not indeed Jews and therefore not under the dispensation of not worshipping the Roman gods (which by the way was considered treason due to no separation of religion and state) and thus began the persecution of the Christians.
That is a lie. The Catholic Church is literally Roman paganism.
According to A.J. Deus author of {{ The Great Leap-Fraud }} all three abrahamic religions are political and economic systems masquerading as religions.
If god was real there would be no need for him to hide from his creation. Heaven not real, hell not real either.
If god is real why would it show itself to a creation that is so weak. Do you try to let yourselves be known to the bacteria that live in your rectum. God doesn't choose prophets. Men beg and try through magic to reach god then declare themselves prophet's and write a nice book to add to their ego 😂😂
You have such a brilliant mind! Thank you for diving into this deep and delicious topic! 🤍🤍🤍✨🙏🏽
I tried to believe for many years even after having doubts as kid concerning things of religion. Atheist can not disprove that a god or gods exist but they can prove that all three abrahamic religions were put together from different sources by humans in early a.d.
this is craziness. you can say whatever and "find" whatever "proofs" when you don't want to acknowledge God. The Torah was given 3500 years ago on mount Sinai, and wasn't changed since. If someone changes one letter, we send the Torah to repair or we bury it as it is. learn real knowledge, and don't trust pseudo-scientific people working against God and fueled by jew ha+red. this guy thinks the motion picture by dreamworks is history. he doesn't know anything about Moses. The proto-hebraic scam has no roots in reality and is nothing more than a theory of Torah revisionists. there is no such thing as jewish magic. true magicians are sentenced to no-life in the Torah.
Not only that there's no record whatsoever of Jews, Torah, Exodus or Moses before the 4th Century. Almost 1000 years after the period it's supposed to have happened. Genesis was made up, probably by Jewish scribes in Alexandria from earlier stories, some from other cultures. The Israelites at this time, were, it seems from the archeological record, polytheistic Canaanites.
I feel like Judaism is like a megazord of all the ancient cults
Satan is a title not a name.
There is in fact a single use of the word as a proper name
I was told that there was no mention of the exodus or the plagues recorded in Egyptian literature which is very unusual because I would think that if these things happened they two would be recorded because the Egyptians recorded everything
Not only that there's no record whatsoever of Jews, Torah, Exodus or Moses before the 4th C BC almost 1000 years after the events were supposed to have happened. Genesis was compiled, probably by Jewish scribes in Alexandria. It is based on earlier stories, some borrowed from other cultures. The Israelites were, it seems from the archeological record, basically polytheistic Canaanites.

I'm a strong Christian, but I haven't founded a church yet because I struggle to trust people and often see through their insincerity. I've noticed that ancient religions, including the occult, hold some truth and align in certain ways. The Old Testament is filled with mysteries we're only beginning to understand, and ancient civilizations like the Sumerians had remarkable knowledge, such as understanding the planetary system long before modern science. Exploring texts like the Book of Enoch has shown me deeper truths, even though it's not widely accepted by the church-perhaps for good reason. It's important to stay neutral and genuinely seek the truth. Doing so often leads to Christianity, but also reveals that the world isn't black and white; it's far more complex. Darkness exists but isn't absolute. We're even uncovering ancient mysteries, like Atlantis and the drying Euphrates River, which suggest ancient people knew things we still don't fully understand.
"Jesus" was teaching mysteries... What were they?

I foolishly got into an online argument with some people. The story of Mosses as told if real would be a prince of Egypt and would have had the finest education in their Magick and Philosophical schools.. They completely scoffed at that. IDK about people.
I've had the same experience. It would be really cool to find a church of Christians who are genuine seekers...
…it’s a trap…to purge religious narcissism.
Your analysis resonates with me. It is clear, balanced, and pragmatic. I always prefer grounded, thorough scholarly research, when dealing with topics that can easily veer into exaggerated or overly simplistic faith-based claims. Approaching the topic critically, like you just did, respects intelligence and allows for informed thought.
The Biblical authors were definitely trying to establish a respectable pedigree for Israel. Moses gave them a connection to Egypt, but Abraham was from the equally ancient Ur of the Chaldees.
Conor Macdari relates how many of the words (people, places, events) in the OT are of Irish origins, no way around this. He relates how the Irish priesthood had developed the concepts and ideas which were stolen by the British and Roman priesthoods and placed within the bible. He believes civilization actually developed from West to East also. The places talked about in christian scripture all reflect back to the Irish, he even thinks that those areas around "Israel" were in Ireland, the priesthood having changed the names. There is also great questions around the derivation of the hebrew language, where and how it developed.
Great topic
Anyone who subscribes to the cosmological argument or the transcendental arguments would be either monotheistic or some form of pan

Sigh, The Most High was judging the gods of Egypt , the reed sea is also a direct response to the God of dead
God was taking his people out of Egypt, because a man(Pharao) in Egypt thought he was God. God will make his point in the end times that he himself is God and not a man. His name is Jesus

Did you watch the opening ceremony or just see clips and photos and right-wing commentators? The 'last supper' scene was very brief and involved a plus-sized cisgender woman and a couple of drag queens and others sitting at a banquet with someone reclining in front painted blue with a flower crown, who sang a song about peace. It was meant to be inspired by a banquet of the Olympian gods with the blue guy as Dionysus. It was pretty harmless.'other things interpreted as 'Satanic' were also pretty much bullshit, like the mechanical horse on the Seine which there was no intention on the part of the organisers of it representing Death. Otherwise, unless you think having some LGBTQ representation or racial diversity automatically=satanic, I think it's a shame for you to join that particular bandwagon.
