My point was the likes of you a few centuries back were the ones scoffing at Copernicus, Kepler and Galileo. Get the analogy?
‘From whence cometh this nonsense’ was their tune. The book of Genesis has this subject covered.

From Whence Cometh This Nonsense?

With all do respect, you know nothing about the likes of me a few centuries back.

Rogue Theologian
it was a false accustion
the Pharisees wanted the Guy dead
that was noted as He spoke the Golden Rule in their faces
at the trial the Pharisees complained He claims to be the Son of God
Rome didn't care about that
but then the accusation.....the Son of God IS king of the Jews
that would be insurrection
Well, I’m thinking the dragging edge of progress there. The New Age stuff is all nonsense right? Channeling etcetera all baloney right?
Shoulda written "furriner"...
I will now quell all rumors about me: I don't have a crown or a scepter or any concrete evidence that I should rule over any country, whether Israel, Poland, Tra-la-la or any other place.

Surely, the first stop for Indian fraudsters.

Yes. Cornwall, England.
From about 2000 BC the Phoenicians were coming to Cornwall for tin. Ports such as Sidon and Tyre received tin from Cornwall.
They say that Jesus is buried on an Islet just offshore..... cannot remember its name.

What sources?
In ancient times the people only had one way of remembering their ancestral past and that was through 'Oral Tradition'.
Many African tribes were using Oral Tradition in the 19th century and with remarkable accuracy, we hear.

Well, check with the historians on here but that is how a Jewish peasant DID become a King.
I don't think that Herod the Great was a Levite...... he was a very very successful Brigand, Bandit and Villain which is how he came to power and then later to Kingship under the Roman Occupation.
Exactly!
So on what basis do they go against mainstream NT scholarship and make these claims. That's my thing.
And I'm not saying they are just making the claims, but they literally do whole radio shows on this stuff. They flesh it out for hours.
Now my dad's head is full of nonsense about the Bible and even the Talmud.

Sadly the NT is full of adjustments, additions, edits and some baloney.
But that Magdalene was with Jesus, that seems very very likely
I have a lot more info on the Cornwall tradition and must dig it out and post it up for this thread.
Thing is, I don't think that Jesus died on that cross.
But if you don't believe you can fully trust the Christian Testament, how can you be sure of these things?

Also I recall that he mentions an author called Ralph Ellis who apparently has a dozen books or so on this, but a Google search tells me he's a 'revisionist'.
Books by Ralph Ellis (Author of Jesus)
Ellis, Ralph |
This is the kind of stuff Dad is spouting,
'He has also proposed(f) that Flavius Josephus was in fact St. Paul! This idea has been taken up by others'
'In his trilogy, The Gospel of King Jesus, Ellis ‘reveals’ that Jesus was the great grandson of Queen Cleopatra and was King Izas of Edessa, in what is now northern Syria.'
But where's he taking this from?

Seems even the last stop for many, as they are well protected over there

After all, the British Courts have accepted that these people indulged in nefarious dealings. What these fraudsters are saying is that they would not get a fair deal in India, which is not true. Indian Supreme Court has gone against the governments hundreds of time. They will stick to the law. But those who have been involved in frauds should not think that the Court will not punish them. There are corrupt politicians who are serving time in jail. The last stop for these crooks are generally Carribean Islands.

Right. And there are few civil cancers so great as a citizenry that eagerly feeds on baloney.
