Historical Accuracy Of The Bible... Silencing the Skeptics with Archaeology!

With all due respect, Vatic, I don’t buy that letter to Tiberius Caesar, one bit.

For a Roman magistrate to say that “I trembled in every limb as a guilty culprit”, when referencing a Jew (prophet, or not), flies in the face of everything we knew of the Roman occupation of Judea. Pilate requested an audience with a lowly Jewish preacher? I doubt it. Of all the things omitted from the bible, a meeting with Pilate prior to his condemnation, would have been a pretty important detail.

For Pilate to admit to being in awe of a man from the people he’s meant to rule, would make him look soft, in the eyes of Caesar; and probably result in him losing his commission. Pilate wouldn’t have his commission long enough to condemn Christ to the cross. Given that there’s no real conclusive evidence for the existence of Pontius Pilate, this letter reeks of inventive propaganda.

The Pontius Pilate inscription is the oldest appearance of Pilate’s name to ever be found, and it dates to the time Jesus. In 1961 archaeologists working at the ruins of Caesarea Maritima, in Israel, found a stone slab bearing the name of Pontius Pilate, who was involved in the trial of Jesus.

Fulfilled biblical prophecy is the key to national identity; the nations of northwestern Europe conducted the biblically prophesied colonialist policies from the eighteenth to the twentieth centuries. Europe, therefore, is Shem. The peoples of northwestern Europe are the real Semites. Fulfilled prophecy proves it. So if you’re going to use DNA to identify “true Semites,” don’t compare the DNA of Palestinian Arabs with that of alleged “Khazars,” compare the DNA of the peoples of northwestern Europe with the DNA of Palestinian Arabs.

Likewise, biblical and historical descriptions of true Semites add additional proof of national identity. It is very likely that the historical Christ was indeed fair-complexioned. Biblical and extra-biblical sources indicate that real Semites are a fair-complexioned people, not a dark and swarthy people as is commonly supposed. Here are a few examples that can be cited:

Adam, the name of the first man, is ultimately derived from a word meaning having the ability “to show blood (in the face), i.e., flush or turn rosy” (see Strong’s nos. 121, 120, and 119). The white race has this ability to be red in the face because its nonpigmented skin allows hemoglobin–the red coloring matter of blood–to show through.

David, a direct descendant of Adam, is described as “ruddy” (1 Sam. 17:42; 16:12). The word “ruddy” in these verses is from the Hebrew word admoniy. Strong’s no. 132 defines this word as “reddish (of the hair or the complexion).” To have a ruddy complexion is to thus to have a healthy red color of the face, a healthy rosiness or a blush.

The Nazarites of Jerusalem are described as being whiter than milk and more ruddy in body than rubies (Lam. 4:7).

King Solomon is described as being “dazzling white and rosy” (Song of Solomon 5:10). See Strong’s no. 122 and A Hebrew and English Lexicon of the Old Testament, by Francis Brown, S. R. Driver, and Charles A. Briggs, p. 850.

In The Genesis Apocryphon of the Old Testament Pseudepigrapha, the writer says of Sarah: “and how beautiful all the whiteness of her” (1QapGen Col. 20).

In the Old Testament Pseudepigrapha, the following description of Noah occurs: “His body was white as snow and red as the blooming of a rose, and the hair of his head and his long locks were white as wool, and his eyes beautiful” (1 Enoch 106:2).

9 Things You Think You Know About Jesus That Are Probably Wrong!!!

The article said “We hope you will take the time and then please use the comments section to tell us why you may believe otherwise. Provide links and sources, so we can continue our search for truth. We care about “The Truth”, and not about being right…. so help us help others in that search for truth.”

I don’t think the problem is so much that some don’t believe the scriptures to provide an accurate depiction of historical fact, most self proclaimed Christians are convinced God’s Word is carved in stone! Where the problem begins is with the extemporized embellishments of those hoping to elevate themselves with special knowledge in absence of God’s Spirit. In the spirit of Simon Magus or as the Catholics call him St. Peter they read between the lines, filling in the blanks using human points of reference, knowledge and wisdom. Their uninspired versions miss the mark by a mile. Sadly many who unknowingly embrace their nonsense are being misled.

Let me provide some insight as it has been given me.

First, God’s actual plan for mankind is revealed within His seven Holy Days given in Lev. chapter 23.

That plan has nothing whatsoever to do with dying and either ascending to Heaven or descending to some place of endless cruelty. This is the most egregious lie ever told. It depicts Jesus as a liar and God as a monster of unprecedented proportions. Jesus told us that no man ascends to the heavens that has not descended from the heavens, the Son of Man Jesus Christ. He provided the Lords Prayer where in the second verse we’re told to pray for the coming of God’s Kingdom to earth giving further credence to this scriptural reality. John in the Book of Revelation describes the New Jerusalem in detail as it arrives from Heaven to earth.

With that said lets dis cuss the “eternal damnation” fallacy. Let’s try to remember that scripture reminds us over and over that Yahweh is a God of immense love. (Agape) The extreme type of love a mother feels for her child. When God, our loving Father speaks of eternal punishment He is not referring to everlasting torture. What He is talking about is a done deal. A punishment that lasts forever in the sense that once enacted it’s over and done with, forever! See, the penalty for sin not repented of is death. Once man is resurrected during the second resurrection if they refuse to repent or reject God’s ways they will be put to death with no further opportunity for resurrection to life. That death or the “second death” is forever. I promise, God is not going to torture no one, not even satan the devil.

There are a few strong indicators of false religion I will offer for your consumption. Take it or leave it, it’s up to you!

The sons of Israel spent 40 yrs, wandering in the wilderness for practicing the religion Baal or sun worship. They were prevented from inheriting the promise land because of it. Remarkably, things haven’t changed since Egypt. God still requires our exclusive worship and will not share His glory with false gods. False gods can be any entity raised to a level of power or authority equal to God’s. That would include any doctrine which challenges His Logos. These distorted depictions of Him or His plan narrow the path to righteousness depriving those who accept dishonesty everlasting life.

Three universally accepted aspects of false doctrine are Christmas, Easter and Sunday worship. “The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.”

Abominations accepted by a solid majority of Christendom:

1. “Christmas” or December 25th is not Christ’s birthday it is instead the winter solace in sun worship. Jesus was born near the end of the harvest season and instructed followers not to celebrate his birth but to celebrate his death, because the Passover Sacrifice he became is the beginning of life. Do you honestly think God would approve of this blasphemous celebration?

2. “Sunday” or Sun-Day worship was the first day of the week set aside for the worship of Mithra the sun god. God’s weekly sabbath however was designated by God to be honored on the the last day, the seventh day of the week, exactly opposite of this false depiction. Sunday worship defies the forth commandment. The contention that Jesus fulfilled the law does not hold water. Highlighted in the Book of Matthew Jesus tells us that not one jot, not one title will be removed from the Law until the fulfillment of all things. Something that has yet to happen.

In The Book of Romans this theme is reiterated, Romans 13:7 “Do not commit adultery; do not murder; do not steal; do not bear false witness; do not lust; and if there is any other commandment, it is summed up in this word, You shall love your neighbor as yourself. Love works no ill to its neighbor, therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.”

Jesus fulfilled only the prophesy of his coming and in doing so the Levitical system of animal sacrifice. God’s Son was offered as our eternal Passover sacrifice making that obsolete. Nothing changed in God’s Law, Nothing!

“Easter” I saved this for last because it is easy to see the significance of this lie. When prodded by the Pharisees to provide proof he was the Messiah foretold scripture, the only evidence Jesus agree to provide was the fact after being put to death he would remain in his tomb for three days and nights exactly the same as Jonah did in the belly of the wale.

Now pay close attention; in the Book of Genesis God provides His definition of a day being from eve to evening. Sundown to sundown. If Christ was crucified and died “Good Friday” or Friday afternoon and was resurrected by God Almighty early Sunday morning that time frame falls far short of the required three days necessary to establish this proof. What this inaccuracy does is in effect remove the only proof Jesus gave to the Pharisees. Ask yourself, who would do this? Would an organization representing the One and Only True God initiate such confusion or does this sound more like His number one adversary?

As the old adage goes, “it’s time to poop or get off the pot.” Hanging on to these false doctrine will result in one thing and it isn’t going to be your salvation. There is one God, One Christ, One Church and One Truth. Accept it or not, that is your choice!
