That is good and proper.
I was waiting for the tables to turn onto the people who virtue signal with their mental health badge.
Every millenial has anxiety, depression, PTSD, autism, ADHD and they are neurodivergent. Like, would you like a price for that?
When someone like Prince Williams and the WEF, WHO push for a mental health crisis one has to be mentally impaired (sic) to visit a doctor and sign up with a mental health problem.
Here’s notes AND counter arguments:
THESIS:
-
What if Judaism is a “constructed” religion?
-
There was a Jewish community in Elephantine, Egypt in 400BC that was practicing a “pagan” version of Judaism
-
At this stage they should have been following “Mose’s Torah” and Jerusalem should have been enforcing standard Judaism - but they don’t mention the Torah and Jerusalem was supportive of this group?
-
“They were likely a result of Judean refugees fleeing into Egypt during the Babylonian invasions. They seem to have had no knowledge of a written Torah or the narratives described therein”
-
Quite a big thing to forget! The Torah is the foundation of the religion?
-
It seems a lot of the Torah was only written AFTER this? This is bizzare… was it “constructed”?
-
Platonism was hugely popular at the time in Egypt, as Plato was only brand new and had spread through Alexander the Great as the “great philosopher of the World”
-
The thesis is that as the Hellenic Empire founded by Alexander the Great was collapsing - Judas Maccabee led a revolt to seize the old territory of Judea
-
This Judea was only ever a pagan nation, like any other, that had been consumed by great Babylon
-
Judas and his lineage wanted to create a “National myth” to unite this people - so he employed the best thinkers of the time to build a religion - like a propaganda team
-
These thinkers took the old pagan customs of Judea and used Plato’s ideas in the Republic to reformulate them into “Judaism” - so not “fake” but much more “constructed” than we may think
-
The problem here is how much this undermines the validity of the Torah and as a consequence all three major Abrahamic religions
-
Moses, the Torah, and the mighty history of the one true God might be a Platonic “noble lie” put together out of Jewish paganism in 170 BC
—-
COUNTER ARGUMENTS:
-
There’s very old Egyptian Steele’s etc. apparently mentioning “Israel” granting validity to an ancient past
-
The Hyksos masters of Egypt look an awful lot like “the Israelites” granting validity to the Torah
-
The Dead Sea scrolls found in the 20th century revealed works like Isaiah were indeed very old!
But that implies that there is Satan which implies there is Jesus and therefore an abrahamic God.
Circular logic.
Get unstuck.
There is only stupidity per ancient Greek philosophy, not an evil persona. There was no evil personified in Greek religion, just stupidity. Or lack of knowledge at best.
It is actually about Northern Ireland ie. the UK of GB and Ireland. I am not surprised. Since Keir the jew Starmer took over that country is rushing towards totalitarianism trying to overtake Canada and Australia for all lost ground.

This is a very interesting take suggesting that the project Israel commenced around 1800's and has nothing to do with Hitler exporting them to Madagascar first and later to Palestine.
The New Testament provides two accounts of the genealogy of Jesus, one in the Gospel of Matthew (Matthew's gospel (Mat 1:2-16))
and another in the Gospel of Luke (Luke's gospel (Luk 3:23-38)).
Matthew starts with Abraham and works forwards, while Luke works back in time from Jesus to Adam. The lists of names are identical between Abraham and David (whose royal ancestry affirms Jesus' Messianic title Son of David)
Is the New Testament wrong?
Do you mean the joo?
