The face of Jesus. PART 11.

Michael Mifsud

The man at fault or politically sanitized?

The story of Jesus in unequal life assumed, is too incomplete to be able to reconcile with the reality of this figure apparently incredible. Like most men of the stature of religion is important, there is no evidence of personal writings. By scribes or so-called "witnesses" However, there are numerous and could easily have all been embroidered to create the basis on which to hold a new series of lessons. Religious teachings are in the global political and have one goal, to condition people to respond to priests in the same way that politicians expect the electorate to make a difference in their own personal interests. Threats of punishment of politicians and priests are part of the act and how to make sure they stay in power and seems to protect something on behalf of the people who put them there. In many cases, collective phobias as enemies outside are used in the same way - to keep people depending on them for salvation. This is typical of the old religious leaders like Moses, for example, which has even broken the tablets supposedly written by God in a fit of anger. The indirect threats and attempts to create fear, features little in the supposed teachings of Jesus who, despite a great passion for its point of view of the future, worked with a clarity and simplicity style that has marked a very confident and self-possessed man in all weathers in the world to begin. This is not the important aspect of the legacy of a man whose image commands the attention (and in many respects conditions) the behavior of almost half of humanity, even today ' hui.

The Christian Church as all others, depends on faith for support and wipes aside any criticism of romantic deceit casual mention of a document or another that did not exist in the form shown. There is only one real, historical mention of a man of stature that resembles the figure we call Jesus, and it is not mentioned by name. This is the text of Josephus praised who fought in wars that ended Jewish Massada and wrote vivid accounts of the period. The only terrible thing about this document is amended as so many people that it is almost impossible to tell who is the original and which one changed. The text must be carefully distilled and identified with common sense, which requires reading the translation with care and labor which is unlikely to have been written by someone other than Josephus same. There is a Slavonic version that seems to be the oldest and, quite categorically, simply stating that there was a man highly respected by many, which took one and a little scary impressive aspect whose beard was a little hazy and not strong. A full flowing beard growth was something that Nazzareans (which does not cut hair), valued as a sign of the presence of social good. This man was apparently killed ritually and he was either a hunchback or had a very thick neck. This is really all we know a man who fits the description of Jesus and was killed by the Romans. It was clear from the translation there, impressive character and leaves little doubt in anyone's mind that it refers to the man we call Jesus. There were others also performed at the same time one of them was one called Simon Magus or magician and a woman who could also have been Jesus and who also had a name synonymous with the Egyptian god Amun If Helen . Apart from that the history of Flavius Josephus, all other documents said to have written long after the death of Jesus. In addition, at least one claim, that the killing of innocents can not be true if Jesus was born about six years before the date of Christia.
