All good Christians are conditioned to only listen to authority. If you watched the video or read the book you would hear the evidence and facts presented.
I didn't mean to sound flippant. I have been watching it and am halfway through. Here are my notes so far...
6:45 -- Christianity invented by the Flavians "...and they left us documents to prove it..."
Waiting for the documents. Describes Josephus as the re-writer of official Jewish history.
25:02 same images of documents flashas at 6:45
25:50 Titus the son of Vespassian on the arch of Titus. "Son of a god"
26:24 the title of the chief pagan priest of Rome became the title of the pope "Pontifex maximus"
26:40 the first bishops were members of the pagan aristocracy
27:20 associates Jesus with Mithras
28:00 argument about Roman control of propaganda and complicity in producing Christian literature. "Huge undertaking"
29:00 The Alexanders were motivated through fear of a nacent Jewish messianic movement, and the sponsored literature.
29:50 Philo combined Greek philosophy with Judaism. "Follow the money" to the Flavians.
31:00 Princess Bernice the mistress of Titus is speculated to be St. Veronica
32:00 Herods, Alexanders and Flavians combine forces to construct and disseminate Christianity.
33:20 Gospels written by anonmous people, so its nonsense that they are reliable documents.
34:40 There are clues in the gospels which point towards the actual authors being Roman propagandists.
36:00 The Jews are portrayed as the forces of darkness. "The Romans wanted to promote anti-semitism..."
37:30 The story of the gospels were backdated forty years, forty years before the end of the war.
39:00 ...which is why the prophecies are fulfilled within forty years of Jesus birth.
40:39 paused
Its very persuasive but still speculative. The fact remains that there is not, in fact, a document as the video claims at minute 6:45. There's no Roman saying "I did it."
You could dispute the facts of course.
No, the facts are good. The video shines at producing a believable chain of events. I feel that the historians have a particular view of Christianity and Judaism that are inaccurate which causes them to accept this chain of events more readily than myself. For example they seem to overlook that Judaism could be a peace movement and instead find it convenient to invent that Christianity gets its love for peace from the Romans who are trying to make the slaves obedient. That is, they have too many assumptions. They don't deal with issues such as why the Jewish temple would reject a bust of an Emperor. Yes "No graven images" but they give no reason why Jews reject the graven image. HIstorians ought to know why if they will be using it as an explanation for a speculative chain of events. They comment that the emperors rewrite Jewish history but seem to be oblivious that themselves in making broad assumptions about that history.
The coincidences cited made me think what is being proposed is possible. Whether it's true or not is a judgment call. However, that's why we use our brains to think. Unless yours is shutdown by blind faith of some authority outside yourself.
Brains shutting down and being blinded is a universal problem not one caused by the Flavians two thousand years ago. I've no objection to investigations into History. I know what you are talking about though, and yes I know Christians who just don't want to hear about History. Nevertheless they aren't the only ones.
Sometimes when we think for ourselves we come up with a different conclusion than what the authority would prefer for us to think.
Yes. I intend to finish my notes on the video, but I am not sure if it will happen today. One question is "Why did the Romans want to portray Jews as a force of darkness?" I feel that Joseph Atwell and the others in the video have not explained it, and this is a weakness in their theory.
. it has nothing to do with canibalism to do
