Teaser for 'The Christ-Myth Theory & Its Problems' 10/29/2011

THE CHRIST-MYTH THEORY & ITS PROBLEMS MAIN

Topics Discussed:

--How Jesus Christ might have been based on an earlier Jesus a century before.

--Evidence revealing both Joshua and Yahweh himself started out as dying/rising godmen.

--What are some of the best and worse apologetics against the Christ-Myth theory.

--The possibility that the reason there is so many similar names in the Bible is that several legendary and historical figures were split apart to suit the Church’s agenda.

--Why mainstream scholars illogically won’t even touch the Christ-Myth theory.

--John the Baptist and James the Just. Historical figures that support the existence of a carnal Jesus or actual templates for the character of Jesus of Nazareth?

--Some of the lesser well known legends that were borrowed for the Jesus in the New Testament.

--What did Saint Paul and the Gnostics really think of an earthly Jesus.

And much more!!!

As a counterbalance, our rebroadcast is Aeon Byte #92-- The Case for the Historical Jesus with Jack Kilmon, author of The Yeshuines. it's time to allow a defense for the reality that there might have been an itinerant, Galilean preacher in the first century whose words changed history. Using textual evidence, archeology and historical data, we travel far and wide for the historical Jesus and what happened to his movement. And why did history move so slowly, besides Saint Paul, in understanding a message of spiritual liberation?

Next week we learn about the ancient knowledge of piercing the veil of destructive lies from those who control our world—religions, politicians and corporations.  It was once widely used in ancient India and Greece, taught by Socrates and Aristotle, but slowly taken away by the elite throughout history.  It was widely even taught in the United States once, but also removed during the Industrial Revolution to subdue the population.  Today, we are confronted more than ever with a culture that cannot think critically and is easily manipulated.  Yet this ancient knowledge can liberate our society if given back to the common man.  It is known as the Trivium Method.  Our guest will be Jan Irvin, author of Astrotheology & Shamanism, The Holy Mushroom: Evidence of Mushrooms in Judeo-Christianity, and producer of the DVD The Pharmacratic Inquisition.
