That is a really vague connection, and as I said, these books were written later and probably without much knowledge about when exactly Jesus lived

2019-02-20 17:55:41 UTC  

Dude, Rabbis were the most educated people in Israel in that time

2019-02-20 17:55:44 UTC  

I'm sorry but i'm inclined to say it's obvious any modification to the story of the Jesus in the talmud is meant to make him viewed by the general public as what they want to be thought of him, not a historically accurate one with the true details that happened.

To say that it's not the same Jesus just because obvious changes made deliberately seems weak.

And just as Mozalbete says, it's obvious they did not really had many of the details, giving them reason to completely add things untrue or make up some, you don't really need deep exegesis for this.

2019-02-20 17:55:52 UTC  

And Christianity was the dominant religion

2019-02-20 17:56:02 UTC  

It would have been easy to know that

2019-02-20 17:56:41 UTC  

It would also be easy to not to make up these fictional stories, yet there they are

2019-02-20 17:56:58 UTC  

They didn't care about the date, that is clear

2019-02-20 17:57:18 UTC  

And even the way to attach the Yeshu to a particular date is our inference from the use of some concepts

2019-02-20 17:57:25 UTC  

It isn't even explicitely stated

2019-02-20 17:58:33 UTC  

and if it was a single similarity, sure, I would be prudent and not make quick judgements

2019-02-20 17:59:04 UTC  

But there is just too much. Not to mention that is is foolish to think that jews would not mention Jesus in the Talmud anywhere.

2019-02-20 18:01:02 UTC  

Do you really think that the uber autistic collection of stories, "events" and accounts isn't going to reference at all the most important figure in history, which is also incredibly relevant to jews, during a period of time that is dealt with at length in the Talmud?

2019-02-20 18:01:46 UTC  

@arsenicMysticist they definitely had the details. They would likely be well familiar with Josephus' writings, which mention Jesus. And knowing about Jesus would not have been hard when it was the dominant religion

2019-02-20 18:03:07 UTC  

@Mozalbete ⳩ It's certainly unusual, but if this is intended as anti-Christian propoganda directed for teaching the lay-people, then they really sucked at it

2019-02-20 18:04:22 UTC  

With that in mind, i remain in my argument that they would not construct a historically accurate discourse of Christ, their new generations would need to have their own version so they would not flock to christianity saying "Well if this happened? Could that guys Yeshu be right?" they needed to have Christ complete depicted as it would serve their discourse better. And the coincidences with the actuall Jesus and this Yeshu are literally too similar like to think it's a different one, it's evident they made up something that would accomodate to their vision.

2019-02-20 18:04:31 UTC  

They didn't, which is why every single person on Earth sees it as references to Jesus. I don't think there is a single jew in history who thought "ah, this can't be Jesus, since one of the references to Yeshu talks about events regarding a dynasty that ended some decades earlier than what I know to be exactly when Jesus lived. These absurdly huge similarities in his description, and what is said of him must be a total coincidence. They must have forgotten about the least important Jesus"

2019-02-20 18:04:44 UTC  

Again, you don't need deep exegesis for this with hebrew and that, just common sense.

2019-02-20 18:05:50 UTC  

Gotta go to college now, see ya, Peace be with you.

2019-02-20 18:06:16 UTC  

Going to gym. Back in around 1:30h

2019-02-20 21:42:17 UTC  

Had an epic gamer moment

I remember when battarang used to be here

2019-02-20 21:43:26 UTC  

Yea. I don't remember his conduct though.

2019-02-20 21:43:41 UTC  

I always liked the guy

2019-02-20 21:43:48 UTC  

Still friends with him on FB

2019-02-20 21:43:54 UTC  

I gather he's not a fan of me anymore

2019-02-20 21:44:01 UTC  

Who is he on fb? I think it was some flip

2019-02-20 21:44:23 UTC  

Because I raise a ruckus any time I am in /Christian/, the catholic caliphate

2019-02-20 21:44:27 UTC  

Uuuhhhhhh one sec

2019-02-20 21:45:12 UTC  

Yea. That place has gone to shit. It used to be more or less balanced about half a year ago or so, now it's just a catholic echo chamber.

2019-02-20 21:45:19 UTC  

Ah, never heard of her

2019-02-20 21:45:43 UTC  

Ever since Ezekiel stepped down and tutor took over

2019-02-20 21:46:04 UTC  

A fair portion of the place acts like a personality cult surrounding him

2019-02-20 21:46:24 UTC  

That is the least of the problems of /christian/. If has become a normie reddit copy that has lost almost all of its appeal.

2019-02-20 21:46:24 UTC  

No offence to Catholics ofc, but if there's too many of them in one place the average IQ takes a giant dip

2019-02-20 21:47:30 UTC  

Echo chambers aren't a bad thing intrinsically
but it's very disingenuous to claim to.he a place for all Nicene Christians but censor and silence those who.dare question filioquism and whatnot

2019-02-20 21:47:53 UTC  

they'd still get banned from reddit tbh even if tutor whips them into liking bogus ordo

2019-02-20 21:48:21 UTC  

Exactly. Wouldn't give a damn if it was /catholic/.

2019-02-20 21:48:31 UTC  

yeah

2019-02-20 21:52:24 UTC  

It is also the typical cabal of moderators where they will defend each other's actions no amtter what. Even if one of them ate a child alive, the others would say "I trust my colleagues. It seems that you are uncharitable and unchristian. Banned ;)"

2019-02-20 21:53:00 UTC  

Oh well.
