Stunning Find From Time Of Jesus

Archaeologists abuzz in Mary Magdalene’s hometown

WND

byJoe Kovacs

An intricately decorated stone found in what is believed to be a first century synagogue in Magdala, Israel.

When many people hear the name of Mary Magdalene, they automatically think of a prostitute.

But the Bible never indicates the female follower of Jesus was involved in any sexual sin.

What it does say is that she was the first person to see the risen Christ, and that she had previously been possessed by seven demons.

Now, excitement has been growing in recent years in the woman’s ancient hometown of Magdala, Israel, where archaeologists believe they’ve found a first century synagogue, prompting some to wonder whether Jesus Himself visited the building.

“It is likely that people who used this synagogue were witnesses to the multiplication of the loaves and other miracles depicted in the four Gospels,” says a promotional video at MagdalaCenter.com, a project looking to construct a hotel and worship complex in the area.

The dig has received some international publicity in recent days, with much interest focusing on what’s called the “Magdala Stone,” a large stone initially discovered in 2009 featuring intricate carvings on every side except its bottom.

One of the images on the stone is that of a menorah, and could be related to the ancient temple of God in Jerusalem. It’s believed to be the oldest menorah sculpted on stone ever discovered.

      Hang on, back up a bit… they deliberately choose a site where there was a Jewish settlement, and then call it a miracle when they find Jewish artifacts?.. DER. It wasn’t used after 70 CE, because the Roman empire wiped the Israelites off the face of Earth. Nothing to do with Christianity, that didn’t exist until near 400 years later in dark age Rome.

      The Magdala stone clearly shows the flower and tree of life motives, so had to do with the Jewish version of ritual witchcraft or magic/spell craft if you prefer, called the Kabbalah.

      Typical tourist trap hype designed to fleece the ignorant of their money. The religions use every con trick in the book.

      • Realist

        To be more precise, religion (any religion) IS the con trick.

      • Tedjusant

        @PIX/REALIST,
        I am sorry I gave you both a thumbs down, :sad:
        YAHUSHUA, forgives those that do not have the knowledge to SEE THE TRUTH. :cool:

        • Pix

          YAHUSHUA means ‘lord’ in Hebrew, so what lord are you talking about?

          I go on evidence only. Too many people claiming lies are truth to do otherwise. :wink:

        • BEEF SUPREME

          Just the other day Pix said YHWH means ‘lord’ in Hebrew.

          Which is it?

          You do know that YHWH and YEHOSHUA (I’ll help you out with the transliteration) do not mean the same thing, don’t you?

          Of course neither YHWH nor Yehoshua means anything even CLOSE to ‘lord’ in Hebrew, as I suspect you are fully aware.

          If you went on evidence only, Pix, you would be someplace else, singing a different song.

          No one here spreads more lies around than you do.

      • Joerg Klaemt

        Pix I give you both thumbs up…………. It is what it is.

      brill,mary’s is so innocent

      • OneNineSixSix Ajai Dev Malik

        I agree….

        Everyone is just so innocent….

      • Joseph-C-Moore

        Lez, those breasts are certainly quite large. How do you keep your balance so you don’t fall on your (face)?

      Just to try and educate Pix; it is difficult, but I will try.
      Flavius Josephus was born in Jerusalem in AD 37. This is what he has to say about the man whose religion did not exist until nearly 400 years later.
      “Now there was about this time Jesus, a wise man, if it be lawful to call him a man, for he was a doer of wonderful works, a teacher of such men as receive the truth with pleasure. ( This provision therefore excludes Pix.) He drew over to him both many of the Jews and many of the Gentiles. He was Christ, and when Pilate, at the suggestion of the principal men amongst us, had condemned him to the cross, those that loved him at the first did not forsake him, for he appeared to them again alive at the third day, as the divine prophets had foretold…” Book 18, Antiquity of the Jews.

      • Pix

        Flavius Josephus was a Romano-Jewish historian who wrote about ‘CRESTUS’, meaning good people being fed to the lions. Actually he was talking about Jews being fed to the lions for not bowing down to Ceasar. Not as per the Christian claim of ‘CHRISTUS’ meaning Christians. It is a proven 4th century fake. The i is an e under black light proving the 4th century copy of Flavius was a forgery.

        Glad to help you realise you are talking out of your ass. :wink:

      • Pix

        Jesus is a Greek name, there is only one historical candidate that fits all the criteria. Iēsous, nick named Ceasarion, the only begotten son of god the Roman emperor Julius Ceasar via the unmarried Greek goddess and virgin, Egyptian pharaoh Cleopatra/Isis Ptolemy. Born c. 40 bce, heir to the Roman and Egyptian empires, titled son of god, in the image of god, king of kings, heir to the throne of god, lamb of god, etc. Fled into exile in his youth when his mother killed herself. Eventually captured and crucified at the orders of his rival, the older adopted son of Ceasar, Roman emperor Octavian/Augustus.

      • Pix

        The biblical Jesus story you have attributed to Book 18 Antiquity of the Jews is identical to the pagan Mithratic/Dagon/Horus story. There are no elements in Christianity that are original. Only traitors to Rome were crucified, and they were not taken down after death for honourable burial, but left to rot off the contraption as a warning to other potential traitors. They didn’t crucify petty criminals and certainly not over petty infighting in an insignificant religion in a piffling small backwater province.

      • BEEF SUPREME

        As much as it pains me to do so, I have to agree with Pix in this case.

        Christianity didn’t exist until sometime around the First Council of Nicea circa 325 CE. This is not the same thing as saying that the Hebrew Messiah (erroneously called ‘Jesus’) did not live in the land and do everything it is reported that He did in the Gospels of the New Testament Scriptures. Christianity is not an authentic system, in that it is not what it claims to be. Yehoshua Messiah did not come to Earth to found any new religious system. He came to fulfill a promise. No new (legitimate) systems were created as a result of His Ministry on Earth, and Christianity did not come into existence (in anything approximating its present form) until nearly three centuries after Messiah’s crucifixion.

        • The Truth!

          Maud Dib

          Jesusn called the ones who knew Him and were of His Father friends!

          I am a True Christian,baptized by the Father’s Holy Spirit and called for His purpose only.

          I am Jesus’s my savior and Lord’s own.

          It’s not the time of the departing of our Lord Jesus Christ,but the time of His returning to claim

          His Father’s children that should be occupying your mind.

          Thessalonians 5:4 But you, my brethren, you are not in darkness that the day should overtake you as a thief.

          Peace be unto you

          I had my indifference’s with PIX in the past, but I am like you with him on his Comments

    • Tedjusant

      I do not want to sound affensive,
      But I have just left a comment @PIX & REALIST. But I can not see it anywhere,
      what could be going on. :???:

    • Anonymous

      Pix is very OK !
      He is very well informed , he is the only one who speaks the partial truth, but bothing but the truth.
      Of course it is a lot of very scientifically literature where man can inform them self, but nobody want the truth or at least to be informed ! That needs brains with a lot of billions neurons . The believers have only 2-4 neurons left.
      They need medication , please Tedjustan take your pills from Big-Pharma and go rest. You are out the reality.
      Out there are more then 40 genuine great ancient historians at that time and nobody maked not any references about this Jesus !
      Of course this history about some one named Jesus is just a pocket edition from all the ancient , more ancient story’s, legends and myths of other older civilization.
      Pklease wake up and grow up fox it is big time !

      • Joerg Klaemt

        I second that statement

      • W. Willow

        Yes, unfortunately, Picks (and chooses) speaks the partial truth. The Messiah was not executed by the Romans for violating Roman law. But rather as a favor from Pontius Pilate to the Judaic leaders who found Him inconvenient. Pilate tweaked their noses by posting a placard over him saying the Messiah was the king of the judaics — in three languages. Pilate gave the body to Joseph of Arimathea before the Sabbath to keep the Judaics at bay. The crucifixion accounts were straight forward eye-witness accounts. Pilate was not uninformed of all the goings on in his jurisdiction.

        According to Tertullian, Apology, 1.1 c. 5, 21, 3:22, 35 and others (Eusibius, Chronicles): Tiberius was informed from Palestine, by Pilate, about the matters involving one being called the Christ(Messiah). Tiberius proposed to the Senate that Christ should be considered one of the gods. The Senate opposed this but Tiberius did not change his mind and threatened that: “It would be dangerous for anyone to accuse a Christian.” This occurred around 35AD.

        “For who does not know history’s first law to be that an author must not dare to tell anything but the truth? And the second that he must be bold to tell the whole truth? That there be no suggestion of partiality anywhere in his writings? Nor of malice? ~Cicero, De Oratore …

      Pix is probably right, Religions do exist, for the most part, to separate gullible people from their money, the Roman Catholic Church being the Mother of all Deceivers, which was hard for me to accept having been raised in the Catholic Church, where homolies and liturgies and unintelligable and mysterious Latin sayings were purposefuly used to replace the Word of God, where the door to the Stairway to Heaven was sold in bits and in pieces, or even in total, according to a persons wealth and priced also on the depth of their perceived sin, and in that regard, little has changed as far as the Church of Rome is concerned, they will still sell indulgences, with Salvation as always, being sold to the highest bidder, and such is the way of this world, and of religions, and the men that compass them, but none of that can ever change, the fact that Jesus Christ Himself came to this place called earth, where all men and women can partake of the Salvation that the Christ Himself still offers, for free, to any man that would believe, that even now He stands at your door and knocks, all you have to do is answer.

        Then there is that mystery religion which takes from the poor and gives to the rich via Usury.

    • Pharisees.org

      WND features Hal Lindsey, an old fat false prophet who had a big sensation with his Late Great Planet Earth that turned out to be nothing but BS, but then Pharisee Paul’s gospel is BS so no surprise there. Lindsey grossly misinterpreted passages in true scripture in coming up with his BS thesis.

    • Moses

      Where is “Beef Supreme”?! He should be all of this story posting his usual diatribes on this and quoting incantations while calling himself a “Rehabilitation Officer” while accusing any opposition being drug addicts and Satanists. BS the very epitome of evil spawned by the Roman Catholic pedophiles who have been proven in court time and time again of being pedophiles and protecting pedophiles. Jesus was probably the first in that long line of pedophiles, but absolutely queer no doubt about it. “God” who shows no favorites says in the holy BS he did in fact have a favorite homosexual and his name was Peter an “apostle”. Why did God incarnate, in the Son of Man, have a favorite according to the bible. It was because Jesus was a homosexual himself and preyed (not to be confused with “prayed”) upon fisherman who were notoriously permiscues even at that time. Jesus was your garden variety queer preying upon un-educated horny fisherman and he used parlor tricks and cheap magic to get into their shorts. …lol

      Doubt nothing about the Lord Jesus Christ . He is coming with power with His saints and angels.
      “And now you rich people , Listen to me ! Weep and Wail on the miseries coming upon you.” James 5:1

    • Ishah

      Acts 11:26 And when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass that for a whole year {44AD} they assembled themselves with the church, and taught many people. And the disciples were first called Christians in Antioch.
      They were called ‘Christians’ in Antioch because it was a Gentile word of derision. But it actually is interesting in that it is a Hebrew concept, A Greek word (Christos – the anointed) with a Roman suffix (ian) meaning ‘belonging to’. The unbelieving Jews would not have called them this because they have great respect for the Greek word. The Jews called Christians . . . Galileens or Nazarenes. The Church called themselves disciples, brethren, saints, ‘Walking in the Way’, etc. Interesting that ‘Christian’ is the main word that survives to today.}

      In 44 AD, the Church at Jerusalem starts to go down hill. It is also the year Herod Agrippa, the great persecutor of the Church, dies. His son takes the throne and causes the trouble with Rome where Jerusalem will go down in 70AD under the Fifth cycle of discipline.

      Back in 2006 I took in a homeliess man who claimed to be God’s last prophet, #22.

      He stayed at my home for a month. He said that Mary Magdalene was Jesus’s mother.
