Thanks Wild Bill! Sorry Richard was throwing money around again! Can’t take him anywhere 🤣😂. I appreciate your numismatic knowledge around world coins.
The irony of a christian man saying the idea of men being the descendants of gods is all made up is interesting. Not sure if I'm supposed to take that as sarcasm or take it literally, but it was worth a chuckle.
Silver Dragons -- When you told Bill that the Greek idea that gods could have mortal offspring is "all made up" -- you actually touched upon the Hellenization of Judaism! Most Jews think that when the Hellenic belief that certain men could be "sons of gods" entered Judaism, those believers broke away from Judaism to form Christianity. I know that as a Christian, you hold that Jesus was the son of a god -- and thus, although you may not have thought of it before, for you to be a Christian, the Hellenic belief that men can be the sons of gods is a fact of your faith and thus is not "all made up." With great respect, i am not trying to poke fun at you in any way, just trying to demonstrate the historical angle. I too am not immune from the clashes between faith and historicity -- as a Jew myself, i am still dealing with the age-old problem of "Who were those Nephilim, anyway?"
Very interesting. I had never considered that before. Too many Christians take Christianity for granted, not realizing the deep significance of Judaism, Mishnah, and surrounding cultures that put Jesus into context and make the Gospels so much richer. Thanks!
The idea mortals (and certain ethnicities ) are decedents of god is the root of most the fighting around the world. Especially thinking you are “chosen” because of this very much made up belief! I don’t know of any Christians that think anyone other than Jesus was divine but now you’ve made me think there’s even more dangerous people out there. Thanks for that. Free Palestine stop the genocide
@@JohnTitor-fw8jr no I didn’t miss the point all religions are “made up” and christianity was made up by folks who considered themselves Roman, as well as Jewish, and written in greek for the most part. Same as the pagan religions. Made up. That was my point and i have a masters in history.
