The Ten Commandants

Moses was leading thousands of people to the Promise Land and it was to be a 40 year journey. It can be assumed the people would have become more and more unruly as the years wore on. So you can also assume it would have been very difficult for Moses.

There were no laws, no rules and there must have been a lot of killings, adultery, stealing and lying and cheating and who knows what else.Imagine Moses watching as each day brings more and more mayhem. The people are becoming out of control so Moses had to come up with an idea and decide on what to do. How can he regain control of the mob?

Moses might have realized the only way to get things under control was to use the peoples fear of their god. So he came up with a plan. He would tell everyone God wanted to talk to Moses. So to make it look real Moses went out of sight and when he comes back he carries a clay tablet.

Moses tells the people God gave him these Ten Commandments and the people must obey them or God would punish them, and this frightened the people because the god they believed in DID punish people and even   kill  them if he was angry enough.

It could have happened this way and probably did,  for the first 5 commandments talk about God and what they needed to do for Him. This way the people are sure to believe it was God who wrote them. The last 5…well you decide WHY the last 5 were added.

5. ‘Honor thy father and thy mother‘. What a good commandment to control the younger ones, the wild teenagers.

6. ‘Thou shalt not kill’. This is a very important one for them to think God told them, for there must have been much killing among the thousands.  Now remember, this god, well he believed it was  okay to kill, for he did a lot of it. Every time he got mad.

7.’Thou shalt not commit adultery. ‘This is another good one as adultery was very likely going on.

8. ‘Thou shall not steal.’ This one would sure help the fighting and killings.

9.’Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor.’ Another good way for Moses to keep things easier.

10. ‘Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbor’s.’ Yet another way to help Moses while on the long journey.

So just maybe, the 10 Commandments were drawn up by Moses, in order to gain back control over the mass of peoples and maybe the Real God had no part in.   Isn’t that what you would do if you were leading thousands of people for 40 years?

But wait….the Bible says, Joseph knew it was a sin to commit adultery with Potiphar’s wife. He said, “How can I sin against God?” How did he know that… before the Ten Commandments were written?

Have you wondered why God gave Moses laws and commandants that he had already given to the people long before Moses appeared on earth and long before he wrote the Ten Commandments?

The point is all the commandants were already known to these people.

“It is said that from Mount Sinai God gave, amid thundering and lightning’s, ten commandments for the guidance of mankind; and yet among them is not found Thou shalt believe The Bible” Robert Green Ingerso

Was Jesus A Myth

 

A ‘myth’ is ‘a story about superhuman beings of an earlier age.’ So, was there a real Jesus? It would seem by many that Jesus may not have been who you were taught to believe he was

To most, the idea that Jesus was simply a ‘myth’ is unthinkable.Well, in the time of Christopher Columbus, it was completely unthinkable that the earth was round. At that time the entire world believed the earth was flat. That handed down belief was there for thousands upon thousands of years and no way would anyone believe it was not true.  Or was it simply a handed a down myth?

It appears quite certain to many that Christ is a mythical character. An invented one. One discovers that this story is a story like many others before it. They believe it is not a factual representation of a Jewish man, 2,000 years ago. Looking at the FACTS, it could appear quite certain that Jesus Christ is a mythical character based on the other numerous gods and heroes of the ancient world and was in fact…invented.

Yes, the stories of Jesus have been around for thousands of years and to this day no one really KNOWS if he was who we are taught to believe he was. All we have are thousands of years of oral and so many translated copies of copies of ancient writings from men who did not know Jesus so they wrote from handed down stories of him…which is not PROOF he was who we think he was.

Remember that most of  the ancient writers had no PROOF, other than their belief.   Belief from the ‘opinions’ of those before them. These ancient writers got their beliefs about Jesus from stories after his death. These stories where the handed down  stories of those before them. Handed down stories like the ‘flat earth.’

Could our Jesus Christ be something invented and was not the person who he said he  was.  The Son of God? Not the real ‘Son of God because he was not the first to be and claim all he did. The fact is and the PROOF is…. that everything that Jesus said or did was already said or done by the Buddha, Krishna and many other gods.

CNN’s Legon feels compelled to write that “...most scholars agree that Jesus existed,” while stating that there is no evidence for such a belief! Hence, these scholars who believe in a “historical Jesus” do so without any reason or evidence whatsoever, except that they have been told he did and have seemingly fearfully followed consensus .” 

Earl Doherty writes, “Christian documents outside the Gospels, even at the end of the first century and beyond, show no evidence that any tradition about an earthly life and ministry of Jesus were in circulation.” No one has ever had any physical evidence to support a historical Jesus; no artifacts, dwelling, works of carpentry, or self-written manuscripts.”

“Anyone wanting to believe Jesus lived and walked as a real live human being must do so despite the evidence, not because of it” –C. Dennis McKinsey,  Bible critic (The Encyclopedia of Biblical Errancy)

  What is the truth about Jesus? Could Jesus have been invented?

Bottom line. Did the Bible Jesus really exist?
