Hoax
I was raised in a Roman Catholic Orphanage. Now I worship God as I please (I
am a very open minded christian and don't follow any one denomination).
Friends have asked me why the Roman Catholic crucifix has the sign nailed
above the head of Jesus that says INRI. What it means is Ieshua Nazarene Rex
Israel (translated Jesus of Nazareth King of the Jews).
The reason I believe this discovery is a hoax is that His name was not
Jesus. It is a bad translation of His name. The name was Yeshua (a form of the
name Joshua) in Aramaic and Ieshua (to the Greco- Roman world). The name Jesus
is a corruption by people who were hard-pressed to pronounce His name.
(Personally I believe that the name Jesus was a blending of the God symbols
Jesus and Zeus (many pagan gods had changed over the years when incorporated
into other cultures for instances comparing Greek and Roman gods of
mythology).
Also the
name Joseph (Joses in Aramaic). His name would have been Yeshua bar Joses
(Yeshua son of Joses). Naturally this would have been very confusing at a time
in history of no surnames (what we call last names). These were very common
names at the time. His mother's name Mary (Miriam in Aramaic) was common also.
The King James Bible names four brothers and un-named sisters. The Romam
Catholic Church teaches that these had to be children of a previous marriage
of Joses. The Bible does say that after the birth of (Yeshua) His mother
(Miriam) was a wife to (Joses) implying all the legal and social expectations
of a loving marriage up to and assuming the possible presence of
other siblings. This would not bother my faith at all if (Yeshua) had
other brothers and sisters instead of being the only son of (Miriam) and
(Joses).
Instead we have this notion of (Yeshua) being the only begotten son of God.
But even the New Testament traces His Family tree through (Joses) being of the
Line of David which makes no sense at all if (Joses) was not His legal or
biological father.
Can someone
comment of this subject???
