When you claim Jesus is God, you then also suggest that God the Father is Jesus; which would be just more foolishness.
You know, I really begin to think that when we see, ( there are 2.2 billion Christians on earth), 2.2 billion Christians believing in the exact same something, or even just that many unbelievers agreeing with things in the bible, we can suspect some deception going on somewhere.
I just can't see it man, that many believers understanding the exact same thing biblically; no , no!
Think of it as Jesus and the Father are of like mind via the HS. (ps, I am not thinking of the God in the OT or that even Jesus is a jew, but a man).
I believe Vespasian is the Father, Titus is the son and Domitian is the Holy Ghost. The Gospels are good news of Rome's victory over the civil war in Judea and Israel.
The bible is all about the wars, and men's belief systems and how they viewed their world, and all about battles.
I agree the bible is about wars, belief systems, and how the writers viewed the world. Also that Jesus and God have like minds, but they are separate individual minds, they do not share the same consciousness.
I have no comprehensive of what God might be like, and well I read there were 11 Jesus's in the first half of the first century, even Jesus Barabbas was named Jesus, the ones the Jews decided to set free when Pilate gave them a choice, according to the scriptures.
Then we have this Jesus from the war of the Jews in Josephus.
Jesus ben Ananias (
"the son of Ananias") [rendered as the "son of Ananus" in the Whiston translation
[1]] was a
plebeian and a husbandman, who, four years before the
First Jewish-Roman War began in 66 AD, went around
Jerusalem prophesying the city's destruction. The Jewish leaders of Jerusalem turned him over to the Romans, who tortured him. The procurator
Albinus took him to be a madman and released him. He continued his prophecy for more than seven years until he was killed by a stone from a
catapult during the Roman
siege of Jerusalem during the war. His name is rendered ישוע בן ×—× × ×™×” (
Yeshua ben Hananiah) in modern Hebrew histories.

So who is Jesus?
Problems;
Take what you read on wikipedia with a grain of salt;
1)Wikipedia info is supplied by every day people with their own agendas or research, some biased idiots who make up stuff with submission checkers who are even greater gullible idiots who allow the research.
I say this because
The sources do not seem to compute to satisfying the claimed commentary
and when searching, only a High Priest
Theophilus ben Ananias shows up.
Only a
A later era Slovanian copy uses a Non Judaic name Jesus as son of Ananias, but which Hebrew name did they derive that Greek name from would be unknown and highly suspicious. Those resources using later implanted or forged copies become invalid. Ancient and medieval sources differ, Early references differ,
Variations from Christian sources differ, and none of the online sources dare mention that earliest copies have 0 mention of the name Jesus and that earliest religious arguments and commentary on Josephus support this issue.
2)if the research was accurate it would show my commentary right, that there are many figures used for the Jesus story, this figure being that of the Temple destruction warning/ boaster.
3) Josephus says Jechoniah is the King of the Jews contradicting Christians claiming Jesus is called that.

The Wars Of The Jews
Or The History Of The Destruction Of Jerusalem Book VI
4)Yohoshua ben Chananiah is a BC era figure mentioned in the OT
not an AD era claimed as "Yeshua ben Hananiah in modern Hebrew histories"
POSTING ABOUT Josephus requires exact book references as people tend to like to rewrite Josephus and retranslated names to fit their own needs.
In fact earliest copies of Josephus have 0 mentions of Jesus at all and Josephus being a Galilean only mentions one figure from Galilee named
Yehuda the tax revolter(crucified 6bc). Who, I've many times stated, is used as just a small portion of the Jesus tale and is the Christ Bill O'reilly writes about in his Killing Jesus book.
