The Mythological and Political Origins of Christianity (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Previous research about Jesus was confined to Israel only. Researchers did so because they took it for granted that Christianity had begun on Jewish soil only. Therefore the lacking information of the gospels forced researchers to conclude that Jesus was mythical, and not historical. This conclusion was due to the many Old Testament quotations that attribute to Jesus in the New Testament. The Old Testament deals with Jewish history and the myths of the ancient world with whom the Jews have come into contact. On that basis, any nation can write an overview of its history and then use the myths of the ancient world to explain the intervention of gods in its history. Likewise, evangelists, several centuries later, have also been able to associate Jesus, an orthodox Jewish king, with the myths and politics of their times.

Researchers found that the New Testament was written by Greek believers (almost a century or more after the nativity) and based on Jewish history. Furthermore, it is full of contradictions, miraculous stories, and Pagan spirituality. Ludeman wrote that most preserved traditions about Jesus were in blatant contradiction to what he had said and did.

Autorenporträt

Professor Haasbroek (1920 - 2003), was educated at the Universities of Potchefstroom and Stellenbosch and was on the staff of the University of Zululand1962 - 1983. There he has lectured on the struggle of a British minority for political dominance in multi-ethnic South Africa through a variety of constitutional safeguards, checks and balances. Because of that struggle, which has led to party political conflicts, and to the Wars of 1880-1881 and 1899-1902 he has also explained the rise of a policy of ethnic segregation (apartheid) which envisaged devolution of political power to overcome ethnic conflict. (1841-1994)

Since the S. A. Council of Churches, supported by atheist Communists has also been politically involved in the struggle, he has also investigated the political and mythological pagan origins of Christianity to determine the true nature of the conflict. This research is recorded in the bibliography, and it explains how the struggle of monotheistic Jews for self- determination has been confronted by pagan Hellenist and Roman worshippers of heads of state, heroes and martyrs after the crucifixion. Evangelists shifted the Jewish conflicts against Stephen and Paul AFTER the crucifixion to Jesus personally BEFORE the crucifixion and thus made Jesus, the anointed orthodox candidate for the crown, a pagan Son of God. Such a son of god would be contrary to the provisions of the Ten Commandments. The object was to blame the Jews for the crucifixion. The outcome, despite vehement Jewish opposition to the deification of Jesus, has been: the deification of their monotheistic anointed crucified king by Hellenists and subsequently by the Romans; and the destruction of the Jewish state in 138CE. After 325CE, Jews were severely persecuted for refusing to worship the Roman emperor and the deified Jesus. This shows us how dangerous it is when different ethnics struggle for political dominance in the same country.
