The History Of Religions and their Gods!

In this episode we look into the structure of writing a myth, how characters were invented, scenes created and why. We then take a close look at the first Christian Gospel assigned the name, "Mark" who writes in the late 70's to see how he employs some of these structures in his narrative about Jesus. But will also look at this author's writing style and the brilliance behind it. Multiple layers with several double meanings, many literal, some philosophical and others just mythical. (Ref. Sourse: Carrier/ OTHOJ & The History of Religions and Their Gods)

In today's episode we finalize our study on the works and letters from Paul to see if he understood a celestial messiah latter to be named Jesus or an earthly historical Jesus with family and disciples. We take a look at every argument on both sides then make our own decision. Then the conclusion of the episode is to take a brief look at a early first century tale called, "The Life of Adam and Eve" that tells a story about Adam's burial in outer space. A common belief among first century Christians (Ref. Source: Carrier/OTHOJ)

In this episode we continue to explore the earliest Christian writings dated around the 40's and 50's to see what they say about a cosmic Christ verses a historical Jesus. We also review the arguments made between christian apologist and truth seekers to see how they conclude. Then we will look at how the earliest writings compare in contrast to the Gospels written three decades later. (Ref. Source: Carrier/ On the Historicity of Jesus)

In this episode as a follow up to exploring what the Apostle Paul said about a historical or celestial being in episode 8, we now look into the epistles of James, Peter, John, Jude and the Book of Hebrews, especially to see what they say for a historical Jesus verses a celestial one.

In this episode we survey mystery cults and early messianic belief in the 40's, 50's and 60's. We also examine the letters from Paul that he wrote to church leaders and congregations to see how he describes his messiah in comparison to the dozens of other messianic mystery cults in the same region. The scope of this episode is to determine the legitimacy of the gosples written 25 to 30 years later and their claim of a historical Jesus, killed by the Romans at the fault of the Jews or the "Wicked Generation".

In this episode we will step back to what the earliest Christians thought about the heavens and the Messiah. We will also examine their earliest influences from Hesiod to the Babylonian Zodiac. This episode will be way less heavy compared to the last 4, so please enjoy and don't forget to share.

This is the conclusion to the mini series about the works of Josephus and how the Gosples wrote stories for their Jesus based upon the events during Titus' military campaign in Jerusalem. This series was based on the book "Caesars Messiah" by Joseph Atwill but with correction and explanations. Feel free to contact me anytime at [email protected]

In this episode we continue to make comparisons to historical events told through the works of Josephus' Wars of the Jews and the many narratives told to us in the Gospels. We will talk about the "Son of Mary", The Demoniac of Gadara, and the Apostles, Simon and John. Feel free to reach out to me any time: [email protected]

This episode is a continuation from part 1 where we compare the works of Josephus' Jewish Wars and the canonical gospels. This is a key episode to understanding the possible motives that hide behind the world's largest and most powerful religion. Christianity

In this episode we analyze the works of Josephus, the Jewish-Romano historian who recorded the events of the war between the Jewish rebellion and the Roman Empire between 66-73 CE that led to the destruction of the second temple in Jerusalem. We also incorporate what some conspiracy theorists claim such as Joseph Atwill. In this podcast I correct his mistakes. Feel free to email me at: [email protected]
