JESUS - A REAL MAN IN REAL TIMES
JESUS - A REAL MAN IN VERY REAL TIMES.
Planned or imposed mission?
This deep look into the reality and myth of Jesus stems from a very long history of research including very pertinent dialogues with both Church figures and mayor executives of Christian Orders of Chivalry which rank him as their source of inspiration and in some cases, like the ancient Templars, a past Grand Master. I say this because what is called the 1705 public re installation of the Order of Knights Templar under the name of the Knights of the Orient caused a variety of documents to be handed over. One of these documents, a copy of which is in Portugal, shows Jesus as an ancient Grandmaster of the Order. The bible itself was a source of unexpected jewels of comments which would have gone unnoticed had I not had suspicions that there was a story within a story. This is not new. Others have made major issues of it, but few have tried to understand the implications of some of these. A picture began to emerge that enabled me to have sudden glimpses of this fascinating man who became both the inspiration and the pawn of millions. Some very disturbing issues emerged with relative evidence that could provide material of a much deeper nature and which explained a great deal in terms of historical events surrounding Christianity. In view of these "findings" best suited for individual books, I chose to concentrate on the question of the real Jesus – the real man with a real mind and above all – real choices. He was a much more interesting and historically relevant man than the Churches makes him out to be.
If we are to take modern studies into his possible background, we can begin to see that his training and travels could have taken him as far afield as most of Asia, Europe and the Norther African coast. It is not difficult to detect that he loved travelling and that his contact with nature was reflected in many of his sayings. In fact, he was probably happiest when wandering through the mountain villages and sharing the family life of the very primitive people who gave him their ears to sit in awe at the sound of his profound chesty voice. His religious beliefs were Asian in context which would fit in well not only with Sufi rigorous training, but with the magical powers of communication of the Magi which without doubt he would have been trained by. How do we know that ? Because when myths are woven by professionals, intent to create a body of opinion and later use it as a means of political leverage, every luxury of detail is woven into it to enable those with the right of entry to see the fact behind the fiction. The three wise kings may have never existed, despite the sarcophagus in Cologne, but the mere fact that they form part of the story in such interesting detail, gives us a wealth of hidden information that takes many pages to illustrate convincingly. Either he was merely the figment of the imagination of a few myth makers or else there is a firm base from which these scribes elaborated future religious/political approaches. In which case we have to take both situations as possible and try and work out just who or what was being created. Ignoring the symbols and implications of the texts is to waste time on nonsensical, puerile conclusions. In fact, taking everything that has been discussed through the centuries about him, we do not find hundreds of unsympathetic fragments refusing to match, but a very real and extraordinary hologram which lacks little to turn it into a materialisation. It is no surprise therefore that Gandhi took him as his mentor when he exercised the silent power of passive resistance. Islam with its new Messiah, did not drop him either. In fact they continued with great respect and dignified attribution to his greatness, to hold him as the Messiah of the end of times. The very term that Christians themselves hold to dearly as the final day of atonement. They did it with one very important "historical" exception. They did not accept his death on the cross but rather that of another in his place. Taking the Jesus and Barabas connotation it makes one wonder, but Islam has done this before with the figure of Isaac being sacrificed by Abraham changed for that of Ishmael who was not the first born even by their own recognition so it is reasonably safe to assume that that is false. They had a good reason for bending the truth and that is that like his son was to do later on, Abraham passed his wife over to a Royal harem with all that could happen there. Islam therefore is not happy about any issue that might cast doubt on the parenthood. They therefore go for the love child that Abraham had of his servant Haggai. Islamic religious interpreters also state that Jesus was laughing at the mistake which saves his life and that does not hold true either and totally out of context if we are to retrieve a real person from the fragments of texts available. The scribes of Islam, may well have been in contact with or descended from the Nestorians or the early Johannites who may well have held that Jesus did not die on that cross in Jerusalem, but who may have been unaware of any "suspicious" circumstances surrounding his revival.
Wasted sacrifice ?
Gandhi´s doctrine of passive resistance was exactly what Jesus instructed his followers about and which led to his easy capture and torture. It is also what gave both, the desired results and the incidentally, the final grief of the realisation of the ingratitude of those in the multitude without "ears to listen" . Gandhi gasped at his own Assassin and Jesus cursed the fate of Judea when he realised the end was near. Both, felt betrayed by those they chose to "save" Yet if in the case of Jesus he plotted his own demise, his poignant cry of despair might well have been provoked by unexpected lance in the side that might not been part of the deal. It might have been instigated by the very priests who were determined to make sure that Jesus did not survive the ordeal. There again, it might have been part of the signs required to show that the heart was not pumping and that there was no need to break his legs. Very little blood mixed with lung fluid would have given that impression and this in turn might have been the product of any heart slowing ingredient that may have been put into the sponge applied when he said he thirsted. It might have been this which forced the issue and a hasty and unceremonious demand for his body to be brought down. Perhaps these precious life and death moments were the planned ones which would bring him to the very lintel of death but which provided, a potentially vital rescue exercise in the tomb. There were other factors of course like the Jewish Sabbath about to enter, but then that was hours away. Again, the burial would have had to be before sunset and the argument with the Temple authorities could have been that of a pious Jewish family anxious not to be found with burial rites into the Sabbath. The whole affair is too graphically documented and the stages of the passion too carefully outlined, for want of a better word, to assume other than it was a Roman event with Roman authorities involved. It is underlined, by the assumed, historically recorded, act of placing the sign of Royal acclaim above his head. No Judean would have done that or even had access to an execution carried out by the Roman military.
Disguised intentions
The doctrine of disguised intention is very ancient and very Sufi. The Asiatic Hashishim, employed it to decimate the Sunni power mongers of Baghdad. Ishmaelis have never been quite accepted by either Christianity or Islam. Both are suspicious of their real ambitions, but in fact the Ishmaelis are the cementing ground between them and deserve a place in religious history if only with respect to the enormous influence they exerted in the promotion and launch of mediaeval chivalry and the Catholic Church itself. The shaping hands of the intellectual Jesuit according to many, learnt their capacity to influence and dominate social power through their knowledge and wisdom in the Ishamaeli centres of Egypt. There is also a strong indication that Jesus himself knew the essence of the Sufi way if his remarkably identifiable parables are anything to go by. The idea of Jesus preaching to the Brahmins therefore is not as preposterous as some would make out to cover up the ambiguity of his actions and those of his followers. Circumcision for example is as inviolable to Jews as baptism is to Christians, yet it was happily dispensed with to let the pagans in. In other words, the teachings of Jesus had little to do with blind cult faith as practiced by orthodox Jews and Muslims, but with the union of cultures within their own specific practices – a federation of conscience followers, rather than narrow sectarian idealism. To Jesus, knowledge and self enlightenment through this, was real liberation from blind tradition and manipulative priests. Jesus was, it seems, a teacher of the "Gnostic" concept of freedom through understanding – a Sophist or a a Cynic (not what it means today). As such therefore, if those who entered the group wanted to be circumcised , well and good, but if not, it had nothing to do with the real mission and therefore of no importance. This was another case of the "dead burying the dead" - the unimportant detail that could and must not detract from the whole. The fragmenting of ancient Al-Israel which included Judea at one time had after all, been for this precise reason. A great commonwealth of nations and beliefs had been blown apart by the narrow ambitions of those who wanted to do things their own way. The commonwealth of federal alliances with individual cultures and histories forged from similar origins, had been forged into a giant platform very much like the modern European concept, but an organised and centralised religion based on Sabine (Ethiopian) Temple worship, was something that would have never and did not, gel. It would have been the equivalent of one of the stronger member states imposing its culture and traditions on the rest them. With the loss of the powerful influence of the first King of Israel, Saul, the tribes entered into a period conflict which culminated in continuous internal strife and an ill fated attempt on the part of the House of Judah to keep the Crown and authority. With the war of vengeance caused by the Judean Levite complaint against the Benjamite rape of his wife, the commonwealth was left in tatters. The peace, unity and prosperity of the chosen tribes, had gone forever. Jesus lived to continue the dream- the removal of the remnants of the tribes from the influence of the new Greek and Roman masters with or without the help of the Judean nation which had failed to find common ground with them. No Jew of any social height would have even contemplated this profane change. Judea would make little or no effort to invite the tribes back, even if they had had the ability or cultural glue to have been able to do it. The Essenes were very definitely against it and held the Judeans responsible for the contamination of the Temple and ritual roles. The Essenes were the backbone of the new Messianic movement of restoration and to them Judea was not part of their claim. To them, the Judean administrators and priesthood had sold themselves to the enemy. Jesus was their Northern Messiah and had been within their monastery walls from an early age, forged to perfection and ready to assume the mantle of leader - but not before he had travelled and joined their many centres and allies throughout the whole of the Middle East and Europe. Whether he was their Teacher of Righteousness is not immediately clear, but it is certainly a very strong possibility and as for the wicked priest, it sounds like Ananias, the intransigent and vociferous fanatic who so desperately wanted Jesus unceremoniously executed. This hidden life of Jesus, can be reconstructed by looking into the crevices of the great amount of so called apocryphal documentation of which the Dead Sea Scrolls and the Nag Hamadi cache, form an important part.
A mission from the start
Without looking at Jesus as a first born, son of a leading biblical family, a leader of the Nazarene guardians of the Temple of God and Holy places, it is easy to forget that he was born with a mission. Without knowing the identity of the father, it is even more perplexing, but that he was what we assume we see, is due to the amount of information that is given to us in the bible texts. The attempt to divert attention from the concept of Nazarene which is almost synonymous with terrorist (liberator sicarii) is precisely because the Church wanted to get away from that image. He is instead classified as a man from a non existant Nazareth and the INRI is badly translated as Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews. It is Jesus the Nazarene, King of Israel – Iesus Nazarenus Rex Israel with exactly the same letters. Then we have "his hair was parted in the manner of the Nazarenes" to quote just one example of duplicity in the bible texts. In fact, it was more than that, he belonged to a sect whose members did not cut their hair – a tradition which has been inherited by the Sikhs among others like the Rastafarians who curiously trace their ancestry to the land of the Lion of Judah - Ethiopia. Samson was another, amid a great many bible characters. Talking about a non existant Nazareth when he was supposedly born in Bethlehem is an attempt to get him away from the Nazarene connection and the added fear of tracing his father through that line of responsibility. Whereas his father was a fully fledge warrior and the bane of the Romans, he had told Jesus that that was not the way to go about things and to keep away from direct conflict. Jesus almost certainly said the same thing to John and which betrays a family connection. His remark about his role to the disciples, can be loosely translated as explaining "I want him to be here when I return because he is to important to put at risk".
It is a foregone conclusion therefore that all genuine Jews or rather Judeans, would have been easy to manipulate against him, by the wily priests, even for just the single abandonment of traditional circumcision. They could however only do it by accusation of subversive activity against Judean principles – making him an enemy of the people. Previously they had found it too difficult to insert a wedge between him and his large following who saw him as a very learned and holy man. Jesus, however, was indeed doing what he said he would - not destroying the Temple, but rebuilding it. He was shaking the whole Judean religious foundation by its roots and if we care to examine him a little closer, we find that to him the Temple was in the heart not on the ground and with this in mind he sought to woo the remnants of the ancient tribes scattered over a very wide area indeed. In fact, the beginnings of this strange "Religion", sees it in active communication through Paul with areas in Egypt, Anatolia and even Britain, where the scattered tribes had proliferated and identified themselves with local cults. The success of this binding mission involving the good news that the Messiah and come, died and risen to atone for all, fed on the nostalgia and ancestral memories which most of these peoples enjoyed. Without a common heritage, there would not have been a platform on which to built this extraordinary reconstruction of ancient Israel. The factor that comes to light immediately has to be reiterated, is that it is not Jewish. Further evidence to that effect will become obvious as the scene unfold.
A presence for the job.
Jesus was the sort of character who filled the space around with a presence that did not fail to impress Josephus. It was not beauty – it was rugged character and eyes and smile that made the needy and unhappy flock to him. He was no soft touch however and had an organisational ability that came from his Greek learning. It has been said that his parables reflect a Greek format called Cynicism although it does not mean what it means today. Others call it Sophism which implies study of deep knowledge, which without doubt he had, but in the overall, it was all a curious mix that amazingly smacks of the much derided Scientology with its emphasis on non attachment. How anyone can associate one thing with the other, would no doubt raise hackles, but when we perceive the statement attributed to him with regard to the "day off to bury his father" that one of his followers wanted to take, his answer is not far short of what this modern institution tries to forment. "Let the dead bury the dead " Tie that in with his scalding rebuke to his mother when she thought she had lost him when he was only eleven years old " Can you not see that I must go about my father´s business?" and we have short temper, intransigence and royal arrogance. I believe these things stem from real events because they do not show him in the sort of pink light the Church elders would have liked recorded. It also makes him very human to a fault. There is also a type of "mind over matter"and fraternity regard over family duties – a man´s world with business in hand. This is not the voice of an orthodox Jew, but of a stern taskmaster with a mission as disciplined as that of a modern Mormon or Scientologist.
There is therefore no hint in Jesus of anything remotely resembling the traditions of the House of Judah and even his early discourses in the synagogue practically caused his demise by the lynching mob. Yet he knew every single aspect of the history of the tribe and could quote scripture to any Jewish priest to the point of making them run scared. Jesus placed the Temple firmly and squarely in the heart of each man alongside truth and nobility of sentiments. The saying "blessed are the meek" is about as nondescript of what he meant as we can possibly stretch. Saying that cowards were braver for living to fight another day is not Jesus at all. He meant noble (which later lent its name to the aristocracy) – and this was the inbuilt sense of dedication and generosity of spirit which we now atribute to something like a noble deed. Yet he chides his follower for wanting to bury his father. More likely than not, there were Jews among them looking for meaning to their lives and the touching of the dead was something only the untouchables could do. The double meaning becomes more obvious in that context as he uses a traditional approach to one of discouraging too much involvement in things that cannot be undone. This sense of nobility was also a very much respected and admired trait in others. The falling on the sword of the dishonoured Roman – the self execution of the state condemned, like Seneca etc. The fierceness and bravery of the Spartans whose coupling Jesus taught his followers to emulate - "go in pairs" - all shows a synthesis of overall precepts which can be described as "synergy" - fusion of roles. We have this coupling in Simon and Jude, John the beloved and the Divine, Peter and Paul. It is obvious and intended. It was also built into the love teachings of the earlier Phoenicians from which many of the tribes took a common cultural descent. Its symbol was the heart and the fact Alexander the Great had a golden one around is neck, is not a coincidence, nor the fact that Jesus was later to become the Sacred Heart anything other than the need to encapsulate the ancient religious main principle. The Greek influence and logic into which Jesus was initiated was to turn his teachings into the material understanding of social integration and the power of cohesive identity through fraternity or brotherly love. Jesus saw Israel emerging from its embers like the Phoenix (from which Phoenicia took its name) of those self same people who dominated the earth at one time. It was his scale model and if we take what followed in the few hundred years leading to Constantine, he succeeded in setting it in motion even in those early days. It was Paul however who gave it its Roman slant and long before it was possible to integrate it into the Byzantium State religious philosophy. Constantine did that but not before these dangerous gospel preachers of liberation and neighbourly love, had been put to the sword and fire by the thousand. There was very little that harsh military authorities could do against these teachings which needed no masters. Did Jesus not realize that that was going to happen ? Could he perhaps simply not see this happening in his vision of a New Israel for all to join ? In the Syro Phoenician woman encounter where Jesus comes off badly with his harshness, it seems that despite saying that she had nothing to do with his mission of the reunification of Israel, he is unhappy about being associated with the Messiah of David. He seems to imply that the dogs are over on that side otherwise it does not make sense. When she changes her phraseology to simply Lord and Master, he relents and says that children of any race or creed should not be held responsible for the ideas of their parents. Jesus is disturbed at the thought that he should be playing the role of a Jewish Messiah and whilst he remains silent, he is working out his response to the situation very carefully before making his abrasive statements. However, true to his style, his heart comes first,
A new age preacher of old.
Jesus was a modernist and New Age preacher with the knowledge of a scholarly, Assyrian and other cultural features he can be identified with. He spoke Syrian Aramaic which points in that direction. But he was not Jewish. This was of a different order. Why? Simply because he challenged the assumed Judaic leadership of Israel which did not coincide with historical reality and because the overall population of places originally occupied by Israel like Samaria, Galilee etc,completely overshadowed the sectarian interests of the Jewish or Judaic people whose ancestors were African and were forbidden to marry outside their cultural and family ties. The scattered tribes had no sense of identity with a priestly culture stemming from ancient Ethiopia and which was a state all of its own with Governing Priests or Imams in the same religious mode as say - modern Iran. It was a Theological society with family graduations of affiliation to the Temple at the medium and high levels of the society whilst the rest paid tribute and circled the inner core. It was also, in a sense, an Oligarchy even, with political pursuits all of its own. To the gentile, the nature of the Jewish God or his place of residence outside the Holy of Holies, was a mystery without a name. At best, according to the traditions and written histories associated with the tribe, it was a fire God with mountain associations as we see in Hermon and Sinai. Curiously, the Essenes were also of that ilk and Mount Carmel was the archetype of the origins of all monastic Orders. The Hasmodeans had been responsible for the setting up if these contemplative communities in an attempt to recapture the spiritual values of the Judean people but it had not worked out that way. The desert monks had changed their goals to the aspirations of Abraham and the tribes of Israel and the Judean Priesthood had ceased to represent those values. They had become materialistic and isolated in their new found power as colonial administrators of the spiritual side of the race. They had neglected to support the communities which had found it difficult to gather enough food for day to day activities. Had it not been for the women from Samaria and beyond who had brought what they could from their own farms, they would have had to disband or die. One of those women had recognized Jesus when he preached to them in Qumran. She saw him at the well and remembered who he was vividly enough to stand back in reverence. This is conjecture but it makes more sense than simply being recognized as a public figure. Jesus the teacher is being humble and every inch a man, gives way to chivalric respect and perhaps a little amusement with the women folk as is so often the case in other bible scenes. He is a teaser and obviously enjoyed it, much to the annoyance of his rugged and exasperated apostles and disciples. His little outburst with his mother when she came back looking for him – the astonishment of the male entourage when he allowed himself to be oiled by the Magdalene and the affair of the rising of Lazarus when he appeared to be taking little notice of their cries of anguish. They obviously all needed him to be there whenever they wanted him but he he had little time for hysterics and was showing them there was a time and a place for everything This could be considered phlegm – a stoical approach to situations which needed to be weighed up in context. We see Jesus in a completely different light when there are woman around. Much against popular tradition of male/female segregation, Jesus delights in bringing them right into the heart of things without disguising his delight. He is very modern in terms of our concepts today and this would have upset a very great many in the male executive traditional role. It is this aspect of his strange behaviour that made him very attractive to the female population who feature very conspicuously in their demands for his intervention. It is not surprising that Pilate´s wife was closer to him that her husband. Jesus was loosening hypocritical public mores and this was well illustrated in the saving of the woman´s life by questioning the past sins of those present. She was probably not the Magdalene supposedly having married him. The early church scribes may have wanted to destroy the concept of issues of the marriage and may well have chosen to create this harlot link and harness public opinion against it.
Pagan origins of Christian rituals ?
In old testament days, mountain worship had been translated as places of isolation and divine contact. It was believed that initiates were closer to heaven and somehow the air gave them a great sense of communication with nature and a mind as crisp and full of joy as could be had. Life down in the valley could sometimes lower those energy levels to the point of distraction. All monastic communities to follow, like Mount Athos, San Michel etc. were places of great religious attention for apart from the unbridled solitude it is possible that the nature of the electro magnetic concentrations that they produce near the peak, could have somehow accelerated the overall dynamism of the mind. Lighting as has now been found starts from these concentrations and sends the initial weak wave to the highly charged clouds above. It is now a well known scientific fact that it causes the bolt to follow and hit the same spot. The earthed Church steeple was an attempt to harness this force, and without which no religious building was ever without one in high places. It must have been obvious to early modern man that it was there that those terrifying sparks seemed to make their appearance. How many died in finding it out can well be imagined. Pyramids may well also have been the prototype for the " collection of this force" and it appears likely that they stem from the same architectural principle. The association of Yahweh with fire or volcanoes and the choice of name for Jerusalem which means city of the sun in Latin, may also not be a coincidence. The concept draws in many other untied associations which need careful study before conclusions can be made. John the Baptist, baptised with water, but questioned Jesus as to whether, like the promised Messiah, he would baptise with fire. He incidentally did not recognize his own cousin so Jesus must have been well away form, there for a considerable amount of time and from an early age. John was without doubt, an Essene but his father appears to have come from a Mithraic background if we are to go by his name and that was a fire and sun culture par excellence and the reason why the Persians always burnt their dead in funeral towers. Jesus was also born it would seem in a Mithraic cave and the matter is noted at the Bethlehem site even today. The chosen date of his birth was the birth date of Mithras. - 25th. December. It therefore shows that those who care to explore these things – those with eyes to see and ears to hear, are pointing in the direction of a Mithraic Jesus or a prophet of a sun God. The important thing to note therefore that things are now what they appear to be and Jesus was to be a prophet who would cover a whole multitude of religious doctrines. One could say that this covered all the religious beliefs of the tribes of Israel. Above all, it illustrates that the Magi bearing gifts were looking for exactly that prophet – a descendant of Zoroaster, Mithras and the very Asahuru Mazda himself.
A royal or priestly heritage.
Clearly the story of the birth and mission was orchestrated for only one reason – that Jesus was the heir of a priestly or royal bloodline. It also suggests, in view of the crucifixion of other religious figures in mythical history, that the life of Jesus was controlled by others who controlled his destiny through the occasional intervention in the same biblical way that the mysterious elohim appeared to deliver their messages and perhaps instructions. It is inconceivable that his father would have told him all this during the first few years of his life. Other uncles on John´s side or Joseph of Arimathea may have planned it carefully to ensure that the ordeal of the crucifixion was reduced perhaps to something from which he could be withdrawn without public reaction at any time. This line of thought however, does not ring true to the type of person we can safely assume Jesus was. The whole situation seems to have been gradually developing in his own mind, scarred by the death of the father he could not spend most his time with – the Robin Hood of his constant alert for. Jesus was no stranger to the wilderness and harsh self inflicted conditions as can be seen today with respect to Indian Shamans or holy men. For these modern mystics, being buried alive for up to three days is an inconsequential exercise which has astonished modern science, but the investigations in Haiti with respect to what they call their living dead and their use of a cataleptic drug drawn from the Fugu fish, no longer questions the issue. Jesus may well therefore have decided that this was the way to go if he, as he made it quite clear, wanted to become a sacrificial lamb who would descend to hell and come back to life within three days. If he did say that, then playing a hand in his own death/rebirth situation would have been carefully planned with the help of others. He would have been able to decide where and when intervention was necessary to avoid absolute death. Roman implication appears to have been necessary and taking the ritual garb including the crown of thorns into account, the whole thing seems to have been geared to perform a living ceremony of one of the most treasured and feared of the Mithraic mysteries practiced by the Roman military and nobility. If so, it was one of the most adventurous and awesome acts anyone had ever dared to be involved in and Pilate´s involvement as one of the initiates of this Order may be taken for certain. The theatrical washing of hands, if indeed it took place, would be intended to be recorded as a sign of complete submission to the rite by the aspirant to the godly status itself – a type of disavowal of involvement which coming from the very Procurator himself, seems almost rehearsed. Pilate, as we know, hated the Emperor who had practically exiled him to Judea and which may have save his life as a result. He would have gladly participated something that could be described as throwing the cat among the pigeons.
The whole crucifixion scenario including the tossing of dice for the scarlet cloak – the crown of thorns plant known in the Meditteranean as Mirto "myrtle" which is also the crown of Demeter of the Greek Mysteries initations together with the reed – all smack as much of Mithraism and Eleusian mysteries as an apron with masonic device looks clearly masonic to us today. It cannot all be coincidental. Even Simon of Cyrene – (a town close to the ancient Siwa oracular site in Egypt) might have been one of a few collaborators along the way ready to move in at a given sign. Who knows if this was not part of their own initiations as helpers of the incarnations of the Gods ? All this, of course, implies that the Roman masters of Mithras were in on the act and it was in their interest or that of the procurator Pilate to see it all through and hopefully create a demi god likely to challenge the very might of Rome itself. Many of the followers of the Church of Mithras were not happy about the Divine aspect of the emperor and knew how dearly Julius Caesar had paid for it only two generations before. Taking into account the origens of the Kittim (as the Romans were called by the Essenes), as being that of the tribes of Israel, such a plot could have had some very far reaching support. In fact it has been suggested that the installation of the statue of the pagan God Baal by Titus in front of the Temple was to remind the Judeans that the Romans had as much a right to be in the land of their forefathers as they had. Nothing, as we shall see, with respect to the story of Jesus, is all that surprising. All these fascinating sparks of incidental understandings makes the whole business of the real religious beliefs of Jesus a very extraordinary quest indeed. In fact, it is quite possible that he was what we call an Agnostic today.
