Majesty: Originally, during the Roman republic, the word maiestas was the legal term for the supreme status and dignity of the state, to be respected above everything else. This was crucially defined by the existence of a specific crime, called laesa maiestas, literally "Violated Majesty" (in English law Lese majesty, via the French Lèse-majesté), consisting of the violation of this supreme status.

Various acts such as celebrating a party on a day of public mourning, contempt of the various rites of the state and disloyalty in word or act were punished as crimes against the majesty of the republic. However, later, under the Empire, it came to mean an offence against the dignity of the Emperor

The above is from WIKI on Majesty.


Is the origin of the majesty of an historical jesus derived from a Roman Emperor?


Or is it derived from the geostationary God above the cloud banks of Jerusalem?

Is it derived from the First Apostolic Bonehead Church?

Is it derived from the Pope or Arch-Bishop?

Is it real? What's it made of?

Did he get it from the New Testament?

Did he get it from the LXX?



Where did the (or an) historical Jesus get his majesty from?

And if Jesus was not historical, how did he acquire such majesty?

What is the purpose of this thread? Do you not understand how a mere idea with no corporeal substance can be powerful?



Christ in Majesty

He doesn't look scary enough for the Christian book industry though.

Awful vision of a bloodthirsty Jesus

This like asking how was the Lochness monster described if it was not historical??

Why would people say that there was a Monster in Lochness if there was none??

The answer is rather simply.

People INVENTED their own Lochness monster and Majestic Jesus.

Why was Jesus Fathered by a Ghost of God in the NT and it was published "all over "the Roman Empire and accepted as true??

In the NT, Jesus had a name above every name in heaven, earth and under the earth.

Jesus was Lord.

Philippians 2 The Pauline writer invented his own Majestic Jesus from "Revelation" after Consulting entities WITHOUT Flesh and blood.

What are entities WITHOUT Flesh and blood??

Galatians 1 The Pauline writer INVENTED his Majestic Jesus.

Jews never would think Jesus is majestic. They still have not forgiven him for healing the blind on the Sabbath.

Sheshbazzar

When Jeebus-gawd come back, he not gonna heal no blind, he done gonna burn de eyeballs raight otta yer head.
He done be one pizzed off dude 'cause ya ain't been a'kissin his holey arse everyday like he done commanded.

My goodness. Where oh where might the church have gotten the idea to take their crucified godboy and make him a "king?"

Just backwards. Catholics are not Jesus worshipers and never were.

Catholics are not Christians, and never were (ask your Baptists friends).

In Catholicism Mary is co-redeemer and Jesus only for 'the Jesuit.'

No Jesus prayers in Catholicism . . . but we do hail Mary's by the decade in a series of Litanies but no Litany on Jesus.

In fact, in the end Jesus if left behind like a dirty rag.

Fundamentalist Christianity at its best.
