Caesar's Messiah: The Roman Conspiracy to Invent Jesus Page #6

on a real flesh and blood man,

but instead, the development

of the religious movement

around the idea of a man.

There isn't even an actual

physical description

of what Jesus looked like

anywhere in the Gospels.

The presentation of the Jesus

character is somewhat of a composite

of many messianic leaders of the time.

Many messianic leaders of the time,

most or all of them came to a bad end.

Usually by crucifiction,

because crucifiction was

the Roman punishment

for seditious activity.

And the penny dropped.

The penny dropped that Jesus,

as a human being, never existed.

In all of this,

we're dealing with literature.

We're not dealing with history.

So, the answer is:

no, there is no history

to this character Jesus,

it's entirely a literary creation.

What the Romans did was they saw the

Jews reliance and belief in prophecy.

So, they said ok, they want a prophet,

let's give them one.

It seems that in the construction of

the literary character Jesus Christ,

the Roman authors borrowed religious

concepts not only from Judaism,

but also from other gods and

religions that they knew.

Some scholars have noticed

the similarities between

the story of Jesus and

the ancient pagan mysteries.

PAGAN PARALELS:

PAGAN PARALELS:

In ancient mythology,

we find this whole strain of thought

called solar mythology.

Many gods start taking on solar

attributes because as agricultural

communities become more important,

the sun becomes the big focus,

but most obvious reasons

are planting and harvesting.

The sun is then personified.

So, now we have a male sun god.

APOLLO - SUN OF GOD

Becomes a religion in

many parts of the world.

KRISHNA - SUN GOD

Christianity usurped a tremendous

amount of sun worship.

Some of us are saying that this was

a sun god turned into a Jewish man.

This December 25th birthday was,

in fact, the Winter Solstice.

This is really, in fact,

the birth of the god of light.

December 25th, actually,

is the end of a three-day period

when the sun stands still.

The sun appears to be dying...

as the days become shorter...

and the sun is reborn at that point.

BIRTH OF THE SUN

Across the ancient world,

there was this form of experiental

and phylosofical spirituality in these

mystery cults, or mystery schools.

And at the center of these schools,

you would find a mythos.

(? ) Which was an initiating myth,

a symbolic myth which would help people

who were going through

the initiating process

(?) come to this spiritual awakening,

this knowledge, this ??? Gnosis.

And what you see in these myths

is the elements that will

later become the Jesus story.

Let's ask the question:

is Jesus developed

from pre-existing literary characters?

Jesus has certain episodes in his

so-called life and each one of them

can be traced to a prior

representation of that time.

If you look at the elements which

we found in the pagan mystery

school myths, you find the story of

a dying and ressurecting son of God,

who's born of a virgin,

has 12 disciples,

turns water into wine in a wedding,

brings a new religion of love,

is accused of heresy or

provocation by the authorities,

is put to death,

sometimes by crucifiction.

And then, if you want to commune with

the God-man, you take bread and wine.

Ant then you can come to eternal life.

Well, all of this is,

of course, Christianity.

EASTER:

Easter itself is a long pre-Christian

celebration of the ressurection

of Spring from the death of Winter.

This is an ancient xamanic rite,

you'll find all over the world,

that you go through a ritual death.

Where you get reborn,

but you reborn as an awake being.

So, you died just to your lower nature

and woken up to your higher nature.

OLD TESTAMENT PARALLELS

You can find them in the Old Testament,

in the Jewish mythology as well,

it isn't just pagan parallels.

I mean, the New Testament...

For example, the ascension...

we have an ascension

with the Old Testament figure of Elijah.

And it's a very dramatic ascension.

Elisha/Elijah cycle.

These are two Jewish prophets.

One followed on from the other,

which have many of the story

elements found in Jesus.

For example, there is a

multiplication of food miracle;

there is a raising of the dead miracle;

there is a water miracle;

there is, ultimately,

an ascension to heaven miracle.

Is this fulfillment? Or is this,

simply, copying of a useful theme?

You can see where they just use Old

Testament characters and scriptures

as a blueprint to create this new one.

A lot of the ethics of

Christianity actually were around

before Christianity. "Do unto others

as you have them do unto you",

is, in fact, from the Old Testament.

Jesus didn't make that up.

Many of the other aspects

of Christian ethics,

many things which we

might want to applaude,

as very good aspects of

Christian ethics, can be found in

the Stoic phylosophy in Rome.

Which, by the way,

is exactly the phylosofical and ethical

school promoted by the Flavians.

There is little that is

original about Jesus.

If one separates from his words

advice that was in the interest

of the Roman imperial family,

all that you have left are

snippets of widely known phylosophies,

truisms

and concepts that came directly

from prior Hebraic literature.

The reason I'm now convinced

there's no historical Jesus,

which seems a real...

like oh...

to people who are not familiar with

the idea, is a combination of things.

First of all, there's no

evidence for an historical man

which stands up to proper scrutiny.

Secondly is the story of

Jesus is full of these motifs

which come from the pagan mysteries.

And the third reason is because

in the early Christian movement,

(? ) there's these two types of Christians,

circa by the 2nd century.

(?) Which I think ??? Gnostics and Literalists.

What marks out the Literalists,

who will become the Roman Empire...

the Roman Catholic Church,

is that they've got an historical man.

What marks out the Gnostics,

is that they see it allegorically

(?) and a great heresy is the Christ in coming in the flesh.

Now, the winners write history...

and the history books have been

written by the Literalists.

And all of the tradition about

the Romans trying to torture

and supress Christians,

these traditions are correct.

They definitely persecuted the

messianic, militaristic Christians

and they certainly would have

frown on the Gnostic independent

thinking Christians,

but the Roman, pacifistic

"giving to Caesar what is Caesar's"

Christians,

that group would have been promoted.

Which makes it perfect for the Roman

empire and it's a fascist empire.

It's got a very simple message:

"Just believe this.

You don't have to transform and you

have to go through the authorities,

through the bishops,

through the State, ultimately. "

It's the perfect thing for them to

pick out. And that's what they do.

Our scholars agree that the Gospels

are complex literary creations,
