From Jesus to Christ- The First Christians
Immortal4life replied to Immortal4life's topic in General Discussion
Frontline is awesome. Robert Eisenman`s ideas are very interesting, however, I don`t think they are considered fact or are the scholarly consensus. I don`t know if James the Just was the teacher of Righteousness, but Mary, Joseph, and James must have at least been members of the Essenes.

They are being complete dicks and bullies to you lol. Tao Bums should organize a type of forum invasion with at the very least, 5 members going over there and arguing against everything they like to talk about, derail threads, etc. -

Codex Sinaiticus is probably the oldest copy of the bible ever found, it is quite different in many respects from today's bible, and many parts are not in it, so we can now know which parts of the bible were added in later and are not part of the original texts.

Manmade structures under the Pacific- border of Mu In recent times the remains of a prehistoric civilization have been discovered in the sea off Japan at Yonaguni. These remains were last above water 12,000 years ago. This is the great lost civilization that once existed, which sunk beneath the Pacific Ocean. Some people have called the civilization Mu, and some have called it Lemuria. Here's a really good article on it- http://www.pureinsight.org/pi/index.php?news=1678 The Temple of Mu- Short clip about it High Quality video- The Temple of Mu Website- http://www.templeofmu.com/ The islands out in the Pacific are the outskirts of where the land of Lemuria or Mu once was. Some people have also noted that many ancient monuments strangely seem to be built for very large beings. Very few people know a lot about Lemuria, but here is some information- http://www.brotherhoodoflife.com/styled-6/Mu%20Page.html There are researchers who are saying that some ancient accounts about it's location do actually conform to scientific ideas about earth plates, etc. Possibly along what geologists now call the "superswell" area in the Pacific where there are now many underwater volcanoes and cenotes, which were not always underwater. Some people also say Mu was even older than Atlantis. http://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/atlantid...p_lemuria_3.htm There are other legends which connect to it, such as the Indian legend of Lumania. They may have constructed the moon itself http://www.nii.net/~obie/historygold.htm All the researchers I have read about who examined the Yonaguni monuments and temples, stated that it is definite that at least parts of it are manmade, if not all of it. And it's massive- http://www.lightnet.co.uk/informer/civilisations/japan.htm http://www.morien-institute.org/yonaguni.html http://www.morien-institute.org/yonaguni_schoch1.html http://www.morien-institute.org/imk12.html#mizostairs http://www.xpeditionsmagazine.com/magazine...apan/japan.html http://www.toriitraining.com/yonaguni.htm http://www.morien-institute.org/interview1_MK.html http://www.grahamhancock.com/gallery/underwater/yonaguni.htm http://www.grahamhancock.com/images/gallery/yonaguni/1-13.jpg Man made pathway- Big enough to swim through

Misquoting Jesus Textual critics have proven many parts of the modern bible were not originally a part of it. One example is the story of the woman who was about to be stoned to death but Jesus saved her by saying "let he who is without sin cast the first stone." It's been proven that this was added in hundreds of years after the NT texts were first written down, and the original texts didn't have this story. Koester notes: Someone arguing that it was originally in there has to explain why it does not appear in the most early accounts--why would they all delete? Why would it appear in the wrong gospel? Bart Ehrman Interview on "Misquoting Jesus" http://www.thedailyshow.com/watch/tue-march-14-2006/bart-ehrman Bart Ehrman's 'Misquoting Jesus', with audio interview- Bart Ehrman's 'Misquoting Jesus' : NPR The book of Bart- The Book of Bart Historians don't consider the KJV to be historically as authentic or original as some other versions Most modern versions like the NASB, NIV, ESV (the 2001 English Standard Version) are based on the Westcott-Hort Greek text, which there are differences of some 5000 words and many whole verses from the New Testament Greek text that the King James Bible is derived from. The W-H text is based primarily on two manuscripts called Sinaiticus and Vaticanus. These two texts disagree significantly with each other, let alone with the vast majority of all other texts, in over 3000 places in the gospels alone, and over 1000 times in the rest of the New Testament. Yet they form the textual basis of most modern bible versions. Sinaiticus and Vaticanus were not found until after the KJV was already written, so they are older and more original. They are considered to be examples showing just how much a bible can change over time. The Masocretic texts that the modern bible is based on are obviously historically inferior to Sinaticus and Vatinicus which are far older. Here are 5, out of hundreds, of modern interpretations of scripture that can objectively be proven false- 1. The story of the woman who was to be stoned but was saved by Jesus, never happened and was not originally in the bible 2. The Trinity did not exist in the original texts 3. Nazareth didn't exist at the time of Jesus- Jesus the Nazarene means Jesus the Essene, not Jesus of Nazareth 4. Mary Magdalene being a prostitute rather than the head disciple of Jesus 5. The Resurrection as people today understand it was not in the oldest texts If you've played the "telephone game" as a kid where you whisper a phrase into someone's ear who then whispers it to the next kid and so on down a whole line up of kids. The phrase ends up something unrecognizable to the original. Now add that with whole texts that are supposed to come together as a complete story, different languages being translated, and different people doing different parts. I don't know that we can examine each change individually, but if you think about what the odds are....the odds are there are significant changes The bible of today is still a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy, and obscure teachings and often originally oral traditions

Here is an article which talks a little bit about the real meaning of the title Jesus the Nazarene- http://jesusneverexisted.com/nazareth.html Also look up the Gospel of Mary Magdalene. In it she is one of Jesus' top disciples, it says he favoured her more than all the other disciples and would often kiss her on her......and then the text cuts off and the rest is missing. Many people have interpreted this to most likely be referring to lips. It was the Catholic church and their claims of a lineage going to Peter, and their claims that Peter was the true lineage holder under Jesus, who would slander Mary Magdalene as a prostitute.

The Teacher of Righteousness and the Pierced Messiah
Immortal4life replied to Immortal4life's topic in General Discussion
There is a piece of text in the dead sea scrolls which mentions a leader of the community and messianic figure, who was killed by being "pierced". Other scholars have interpreted the text as saying the leader was the one doing the piercing and doing the killing, in order to maintain the status quo and not cause any trouble in the academic world. It all depends on a single word in the the text that could be interpreted either way. Also some people believe that Paul was evil and created his version of chritianity in order to compete with and overtake the original christianity of James the Just, the brother of Jesus. -
The Teacher of Righteousness and the Pierced Messiah
Immortal4life replied to Immortal4life's topic in General Discussion
Yes, I believe it does. It's not just a matter of seeing the shortcomings and misunderstandings in modern christian beliefs and interpretations. The implications go farther than just one religion. The ramifications concern all spirituality, and what is actually true when it comes to spiritual development and the spiritual path in general.- 5 replies

They had thought the differences between modern Judaism and Christianity were originated within the Christian religion. However, with the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls, the literature of the ancient Essenes, The Sons of Light, or the Great White Brotherhood, in the late 1940s, this view was found to be completely wrong. The concepts of Baptism, Ritual meals( Last Supper), The Holt Spirit/Holy Ghost, Resurrection, the concept of a coming Messiah of the line of David, A messiah that would heal the sick and raise the dead, a Messiah that must die, and the concept of Armageddon in the Book of Revelations are but a few teachings found in the Dead Sea Scrolls. These people, the Essenes, are where much of the core Christian beliefs originate. The Sermon on the Mount, considered by some to be the heart of Christian teachings, has been ideintified by scholars as the teachings of the Esssenes. The Beatitudes of Christ have direct parallels to the Beatitudes of the Dead Sea Scrolls. Many of the parables spoken by Jesus exactly match parables and hymns in the Dead Sea Scrolls which were written and spoken by the Essenes at their monasteries. It is even in the Bible itself, Jesus the Nazarene. Through the study of linguistics and textual criticism, it can be found that the correct translation is Jesus the Nazarene, Jesus the Essene. The fact that researchers didn't have access to the DSS for so many decades is infuriating. The amount of controversy, bickering, cover ups, and politics involved with research on the Scrolls is sad.
