outhouse

It would be a term that evolved and became more profound with time.


To understand the evolution, one needs to understand how Romans worshipping Judaism for generations applied their own mythology to Judaism, ALL based on the oral traditions from the crucifiction at passover.

Whether you assume there is or isnt a HJ, based on scripture, it is safe to assume a event/crucifiction of a Jewish troublemaker did happen during said passover.

The law appears in Codex Theodosianus dated to 326 CE.


The pagan temples were being systematically destroyed.

In the time of Diocletian the majesty of the Roman state supported Asclepius, Hercules, Apollo and a few other cults. The majesty of the Jesus figure according to Eusebius intercepted the communications between the god Apollo and his priests - an event which precipitated a persecution of the followers of the Jesus figure.

The majesty of the Jesus figure according to church legend evolved and became more profound in the occult, behind the scenes invocations to the gods.

But it was not until the appearance of Bullneck that the Jesus figure duly received the recognition of the majesty of the Roman state.

Is this impressive? Or just ridiculously pompous and silly?

I can see that they were persecuting the Jesus worshipers, and after that it is wrong to assmune that Bullneck organized a new kind of Jesus worshiping because that is something that Catholics do not do, nor do they ever pray to him.

In fact, that exactly is what pisses off the protestants most of all, and actually try to find all kind of silly excuses to pardon Catholics for doing all those hail Mary's instead.

But you can see why, according to them, the gates to hell are open far and wide to let all these Jesus worshipers in, who, according to them, are going in the wrong direction.

Cunningly devised fables?

The latter.

The Vatican has a history of course, all the way back to Damasus in the later 4th century.

Find it in the Bible, and you can post here without seeming like a very tedious Jesuit.

Big deal. Replaced by others. As you know.

Write something worth reading. Just for once. Not the same old stale jokes.

Sorry your wrong.


Asclepius had been supported before that. This has nothing at all to the Jesus charactor, even though I know where your pulling this from.

Romans more or less wrote the NT and their hellenistic influence while competing with Roman divinity while noted, Does not change the evolutionary pattern of the legend.


Talking about Eusebius, only gives us a snapshot of what the Christian movement was like 300 years after it started


Constantine is the main reason this deity figure recieved recognition.

The H in BC&H is ancient history. The bible is a pseudo-historical account and its appearance (OT and NT) and the political history of its appearance may quite validly be sought outside the text of the bible. This is history. That's where other sources such as the above fit in.



The majesty of the new god Jesus was enhanced by destroying the majesty of the old gods in a very physical oppressive and fascist manner. The war commander who was using the army to destroy the old culture was the same person who lavishly published the bible and gave to [edit] Jesus [edit] the majesty of state. No jokes.

Within a generation the incumbent imperial regime was conducting auto de fes against anyone who refused to confess to the majesty of this book character [edit] Jesus [edit]. These inquisitions (c.358 CE) where thousands were executed and tortured were a direct result of the seriousness with which the emperor treated the majesty of the new Roman god.
