Albertaghost: Wow. Creating an entire religion around a guy who got beaten up sounds like it's a real winner. And then, just to make sure it all worked so well, they allowed themselves to be scattered all over the world and persecuted over and over again just so they could be more powerful and rule the world.
Street bums of the inner cities have a better plan to rule the world than Jews circa Jesus did.
But thanks for narrowing this all down my man.
Looking_Heart, allow me to introduce you to Silverbirch.
Silverbirch, Looking_Heart. you two will make glorious music together and give me endless hours of diversion.
gininitaly: Hmm... considering that I'm not much for religious fervor or even interest... this is all new to me, so definitely something to inform myself about.
Look for "The Blackwell Companion to Judaism" as a start in your local library and then you can go for other books and papers mentioned in the sources-cited section.
I might have been, but I think I was worshiping the sun and moon and running around scantily clad dancing to the beat of some fertility ceremony . Did we overdue it?
gininitaly: Oh goodness... that's a bit of a stretch even for me.. who holds her conspiracy theories dear.
I did hear that theory, or something very close to it over 25 years ago, from a friend's dad, so it's nothing new, but still not exactly believable if you actually study the history of Christianity.

Looking_Heart: lets say you were a Jew and you could create a secret monopoly that would financially serve your tribe to the end of time, wouldn't you create a messiah and a secondary religion to profit by, because there was no monetary reward in your own religion and the script had already been written

And then, because you were so rich and strong, and controlled everything, you let some crazy guy and his goons kill off six million, half of your children in hideous ways.

What a masterstroke!
Your logic is so, ...... well .......
wouldn't you get rid of your competition and blame it on someone else
Looking_Heart: you do know that spell 125 of book of the dead at the temple of luxor is in fact the 10 commandments written by the Egyptians don't you?
There are similarities yes but I think it's a stretch at best.
Still, spell 125, is estimated to have been written about 1475 BC while the first five books of the Old Testament were written at about the same time. This includes that whole burning bush/10 commandments incident so if they are one in the same, one may have stolen the idea of the 10 commandments from the other. Who knows

the way i got it was the Jews were wanderers and really never had a religion to call their own , so they basically plagiarized every story they came across until they had a complete work

Looking_Heart: the jews
Now I get it. The secret plan from two thousand years ago was to allow half their people to get wiped out so they could give their money to a guy that was going to kill them all.
Interesting.
Looking_Heart: that all came into play way after the jews had bred into the Egyptian bloodlines and they devised a plan to bring Rome to its knees.
I guess you still don't get it
Scattering across the four corners of the globe certainly did bring Rome to it's knees. The Mongols had nothing at all to do with it nor did Islam I suppose.
