It's obvious you didn't bother to check it out. It is also obvious you haven't researched much on Christian origins.
THE BEGINNING "All religions die of one disease, that of being found out." - F.N. Morley Doesn't it seem at least slightly suspicious that the New Testament should be written at a time when Rome was at war with the Jews? And that the public 'history' that we have from the time is from the winning side. The Roman side!
This is the chronological account of not only how history was re-written, but also why the New Testament was written, and by whom, and how, and for what purpose. This tells the 'real' history of biblical times between 19 C.E. and 192 C.E.
First, know that there was a hidden war going on, it is now in progress, and it is the result of the conspiracy that was initiated back in the first century C.E.
A partial list of the original conspirators include: Lucius A. Seneca, Galba, Pliny the Younger, Lucius Calpernius Piso * (Caesoninus), Arrius Calpernius Piso (A.K.A. 'Flavius Josephus'), Vespasian, Titus (Vespasian's son), Justus Calpernius Piso (A.K.A. 'Justin Martyr').
* The same name as the Lucius Piso whose daughter married Julius Caesar - Lucius Calpernius Piso Caesoninus. That earlier Lucius Piso was in fact, also a Caesar! He was Julius Caesar's father's brother (That's right, his uncle!). And Lucia Calpernia Piso was his first cousin. Marc Antony was Julius Caesar's 2nd uncle.
Now, we will fill you in on some of the pertinent factors and motives of the time. There were many battles fought between the Romans and the Jews, on the field, and on paper - as propaganda.
Why? Well, for one thing, the Roman aristocratic way of life was at stake. It was one in which slavery played a major part. The Roman way of life was one based on power and control; the control of other people. The Jewish way of life was not tolerant of slavery, because it went against the humanistic teachings of Hillel the Pharisee. After the death of King Herod, the Herodian Priests were losing control of the Jewish masses, because of this new Pharisaic Party of Humanistic Jews.
Philippians 3:12 "Be all of you subject one to another, having your conversion 'honest' among the Gentiles."
At first, they tried to give this new religion to the Jews (new wine in old bottles), but when the Jews wouldn't accept it, they went to give it to the Gentiles (new wine in new bottles), and destroy the Jews. The proportion of Jews (Jewish Beth Hillel, zealots/Pharisees), in the Roman empire by the late 50's C.E. was over 20%. As humanistic Jews, they were a threat to the Roman way of life, i.e., aristocratic. So, a few conspirators in the hierarchy decided to give the Jews a new religion - Christianity.
They synthesized this new religion, and based it upon the already existent Jewish religion, and using the Jewish books, they customized it to fit the Roman way of life.
The New Testament books were written after the supposed fact, so that it was easy for them to be self-fulfilling. The first 'Christian' book written was 'Ur Marcus', which was the proto-type for the book 'Mark' that was written later by Arrius Piso.
'Ur Marcus' was written by Lucius (Lucillius) Calpernius Caesoninus Piso in about the year 60 C.E. (Perhaps closer to the year 62 C.E.). Even theologians agree that chronologically 'Mark' would come before 'Matthew'. The main conspirators at this time included: Seneca, Galba, Lucius Piso, Gaius Piso, and Seneca's nephew 'Lucan the Poet'. Arrius Piso was 28 years old in 65 C.E.
The book 'Ur Marcus' was given to the Jews, who soon rejected it. Of course, they maintained a company of their own private slaves which they used as scribes to make copies of their books to distribute to the masses, after which the slaves were killed. This practice was copied after the Egyptian Pharaohs' practice of killing the slaves who worked on the inner-chamber of the Pyramids. For, these slaves also worked on the inner-circle of the 'triangle' (the new trinity). Next, the book 'Ur Marcus' was given to slaves and gentiles, who bought it hook, line, and sinker.
This new group of followers were called 'Gentile Christians', or non-Jewish Christians. In 66 C.E., Arrius Piso deliberately provoked the Jewish revolt so that he could pave the way to destroying the Temple because the Jews were not accepting his Uncle's story 'Ur Marcus', which was intended to pacify the Jews.
About the year 70, Lucius Piso wrote another book called 'Ur Matthias' (the two books that went to the Logia, 'Ur Marcus' and 'Ur Matthias' were written by Lucius Piso). Lucius Piso died in the year 73 C.E., that was when Arrius Piso inherited his works.
By the year 70, Arrius Piso and Titus' army had destroyed the Temple in Jerusalem. Somewhere between the year 70 and 75, Arrius Piso re-wrote his Uncle's books and gave his Uncle's fictional messiah the name 'Jesus'. It was Arrius Piso who thought to name the character 'Jesus', because it was Joseph (Josephus) who was the father of the fictional Jesus in the story. Now, when writing the books of the New Testament, Arrius borrowed the characteristics for his characters from earlier proto-types. The character for Jesus and even the concept of the trinity, was borrowed from the already ancient Egyptian equivalent of the Holy family. Osiris/Joseph - the father who is a lesser god than the son; Isis/Mary - the virgin mother; and their son Horus, who was the equivalent of Jesus ( they even made a 'Horus-Caesar' as a joke in Egypt, Ref. 'The Nile', Emil Ludwig, pg. 417 ). And, the Roman emperor Titus as Pharaoh.
Also, some of the characteristics used to create the Jesus character and some of the 'sayings' that they used, were borrowed from Hillel the Pharisee. This was all too obvious to the Jews, and especially to the Rabbis of the day, who for the most part, were relatives (descendants) of Hillel (Beth Hillel). These same were also relatives (distant?) of the Pisos, for they also were descendants of King David.
Arrius Piso used 'Hercules' to contribute the following attributes and characteristics to his Jesus character: 1. The 'Prince of Peace' title,2. The virgin mother,
3. a father who was a god,... and
4. he too was 'the only begotten son' of his 'god father' (father, god),
5. Hercules too was called 'savior', and
6. had the title 'the good shepherd', and
7. Hercules also died and went for a brief visit to hell (Hades), after which, he then ascended to Heaven (the heavens). By 75 C.E., Arrius Piso had revised the book 'Ur Marcus' and we now know that book as the book 'Mark' of the New Testament. Of course, with all of these things going on, and with new conspirators on the rise, the conspirators didn't want to attract any suspicion, but at the same time, they needed a system in which they could not only keep track of their own material (propaganda), but also keep their identities secret, yet still be able to claim authorship - for both prosperity and their own egos.
