Caesar's Messiah: The Roman Conspiracy to Invent Jesus Page #4
And it's at this time, I think,
the Gospels were written.
Because the theological structure
in the Gospels of a God, the father,
and the Son of God, is the same one
that Titus would have been presenting
to the Roman Senate.
Well, the Roman Senate
did accept Titus' evidence
and Vespasian was
deified and became a god.
Titus, therefore, became a Son of God.
The Arch of Titus, that still
stands in modern Rome today,
(?) is inscribed ??? dedication to the divine Titus,
son of the divine
Vespasian or son of a god.
This Imperial Cult set up
to worship Caesar as God,
also provided the basis for the
structure of the Roman Catholic Church.
Now, the rituals, paraphernalia
and symbols of paganism
would transfer wholesale
to the Christian Church.
The most obvious and clear
example is where the title
of the pagan chief priest of Rome,
the Pontifex Maximus,
became the title of the
Pope, the Christian Pope.
If you look at who held the
original bishop positions
in the Catholic Church
in those early times,
you would see that they are members
of the same pagan aristocracy.
They simply changed their
clothing a little bit,
they wore the same garments, but they
wore slightly different hairdresses.
They had become from being
a priest of a pagan cult
Where the Vatican now stands,
there was once a pagan temple
which celebrated the mysteries of
a dying and ressurecting God-man
who wasn't Jesus.
There are many churches in
Rome, I've been to a few where
you go above into the
church, and there is Jesus;
and you go underneath, and there
is a little sanctuary of Mithras.
And it's basically the same figure.
PAGAN GOD MITHRAS
So, the Roman plot to invent
Christianity is just so clever,
when you think about it.
Through the Pope, who is
God's representative on Earth,
they no longer needed
expensive standing armies,
wars and punishment of
disobedient peasants.
They could, through
religion, rule their subjects.
Over time, Roman Christianity
propagated throughout the Empire
by way of the mass media of the day:
the Roman roads.
The Romans must have approved
of this new religion because,
as some scholar says, if the Gospels
really were Jewish literature
about a Roman sentenced criminal,
why wouldn't they have been destroyed?
One of the really surprising things
for me was to realize the extents
of Roman control of
propaganda and of literature.
So that, when you suddenly get all
of these Christians literature arising
in this period, one has to
ask:
how did that happen?The conclusion that one has to reach
is that that could not have happened
without some degree of complicity
on the part of the Romans.
So, one is led to the conclusion
that the Romans must be involved
in the production of this literature.
RULING FAMILIES:
a CONSPIRACYTo produce and disseminate this
literature was a huge undertaking
and the Flavians
undoubtedly had colaborators.
We know they were funded
by the wealthiest family
in the world at this time: the
Alexanders, a Jewish family,
who served as Roman
tax collectors in Egypt.
Like the Herods in Judea, the
Alexanders had strong motivation
to keep the Jewish messianic
movement from threatening
their position and their wealth.
One of their family members
was Philo of Alexandria,
a famous Jewish teologian,
who was already writing works
that combined Jewish beliefs
with the modern Greek and
Roman pagan beliefs of the day.
Many scholars agree that his
writings formed the basis
from much of the
philosophy of Christianity.
In these pages is practically
every concept that you can find
(?) within Christianity. ???
combined to Greek philosophy and he took that
and he combined it with Judaism.
On top of that, he was from
a extremely wealthy family.
And this is important because
you have to follow the money
(?) when you're looking at major trends,
you've ??? paradigm is being set.
If you look at his family, then you
start seeing... well, this is interesting
because now we're starting to
come across the Flavians again.
His relatives were very
involved with the Flavians.
That whole area is where we're
going to look very closely
for the Christians origins.
It's from exactly this same circle
of people that you get the first signs
of Christian ideology and they all
lead to the rise of the Flavian dynasty.
Another wealthy influential
character, Princess Berenice,
was from the Herod family in Judea.
She's the grandaughter
of Herod, the Great,
a product of the Herod's intermarriage
with the conquered Jewish
ruling messianic lineage.
Princess Berenice appears
in the New Testament,
which makes her an
interesting character.
She had two or three husbands and
then became the mistress of Titus.
(?) So, you can see ??? rather like
dynasty here, you know, powerful people,
mixed marriages, you know,
shacking up with the conqueror.
Yea, and it's really where
Joe Atwill takes his idea
of a conspiracy to
write the New Testament.
But, let him say in his own words.
Berenice was a Herod related by marriage
to the Alexanders and, of course,
later she became the mistress to Titus.
The fact that she was so closely
linked with the Flavians, shows you that
the three families were very
unified in financial, romantic
and likely theological issues.
By the looks of things, this coalescence
seemed to have acquired about a dynamic
that led to the synthesis
of Judaism and paganism
and eventually became Christianity.
So, this is a very key time period.
I believe that the Gospels were
actually written under the control
of the Herods,
the Alexanders and the Flavians.
These families had the
motivation to create Christianity
and with the expertise in
Judaism that the Alexanders
and the Herods had, they had the
actual tecnical ability to come up with
(?) these stories that are a
fulfillment of a ??? prophecies.
So, it seems the Flavians
had the motivation, the means
and the colaborations through
which they likely constructed
PART TWO:
THE DOCUMENTSand began disseminating Christianity.
PART TWO:
THE DOCUMENTSAnd if our scholars are correct,
one of the documents they left behind
are the Gospels themselves.
THE AUTHORS OF THE GOSPELS
I began working on the study
of the Gospels in the 1970's
and I looked at texts in terms
of how were these composed,
JOHN HUDSON:
what is understanding their structure
Literary Analist and Author
"Goodbye Jesus"
and why they were written.
These texts were not
independent Jewish texts,
but they were created as literary
works using classical literary models.
If we expect that this is
the testimony of witnesses,
we've got a major problem.
We actually have four
anonymus documents.
MARK, MATHEW, LUKE AND JOHN
They were not written by the named
people on those documents.
This is simply church tradition
that the Gospels are so named:
according to Mark; according to Mathew.
