guess who....


Born around the time of the Emperor Augustus in the middle east, I was the son of a popular god.... as a child I preched in the temple, to the bewilderment of both the priests, and the humans who were my earthly parents... when I grew to adulthood, I performed many miracles, including walking on water, turning water into wine, and feeding thousands of my followers with only enough food for a few... later i was tempted by an evil spirit, but triumphed.... when I had been on this earth for about thirty years, I was put to death, but came back to life and was taken into heaven by my godly father, after promising to return and take my faithful followers to paradise... the exact time and date of my birth is open to question, but festivals were held around December time, and all, from slave to noble, were welcome to attend my services...

Who am I??

(/spoiler)Mithras, son of the Sun(/spoiler)

damn... the spoiler didn't work properly....

but then, thats life.....

you shouldnt have put the / in the first spoiler thingie of yours, and it aint ( it is [ <-(altgr 8)

I read the book "Too long in the Sun" that talked about Mithras..It was very good.

I read the bible it was bad

How bad was it?? Or maybe it was too scary for you....

More like it is scary how bad it is.

You never cease to amaze me.

What is the topic here anyway??

scary thing is how people are able to believe the stuff in it

I am more concerned of the unity of my people rather than with the church matter. I am not happy of the delay of what is going on with the council for now. Because of that I have to make my own decision. From now on, I hereby declare that it shall be the Roman Church offical doctrine that Jesus Chirst is God.

Who am I?

I have no idea.JM

a raving lunatic?

Early church (Catholic) fathers??? Council of Nicia, trent or something?

Soooo what now? Give it another question or forget i?

this one is easy:

"To go against conscience is neither right nor safe. I cannot, and I will not recant. Here I stand. I can do no other. God help me. "

Oh yes by the way, I am not sure but was that Constantine the Great?

Martin Luther... the fact that he suffered from chronic constipation all his life lends another meaning to the words, "here I stand, I can do no other..."

That explains a lot.... i failed A level maths cos of not being able to tell brackets apart....

Yep, Martin Luther

These are too easy:
Who is: "ha-Shatan"?

What does this mean: "Mi-kha 'el?"

Who is: "Gabriy 'el"?

Who is: "Yehoshua ben Yoseph"?

Who/What is: "Yaweh"?

What does this mean: "Adonai"?

Who/What is this, & what does it mean: "Azra 'el"?

Yep... it was Emperor Constantine... who called the Roman Church bishops and officials to confer in Nicaea.

Here's a question...This should be an easy one.....

Who changed the day of worship from The Sabbath (Saturday) to Sunday???

the first barfly, so that he could use that day to sleep while his wife was in church

Incorrect...

Oh I am nopt sure I think it was some early Church founding fatrhers though that wanted to break away from the jewish traditions

Yehoshua ben Yoseph is of course the aramaic form of jesus son of Joseph.... which is what he would have been called in his own language.... he was also Jeshu bar Nagara (sometimes mistranslated bar Nazara...) which is Joshua the Carpenter's son.... which leads us to....

"Carpenter" was first century Judeaen slang for which profession??

-As big gay kirk said, Yehoshua ben Yoseph means "Jesus son of Joseph" in Aramaic.
-Yaweh is god, formed from the letters of the Tetragrammation (sp?), basically holy letters....from which was derived the Latin interpretation Jehovah.
-Adonai = "My Lord", used instead of the holy and mostly unspeakable Yaweh.
-Azrael: Yes, he was/is one of the Muslim Angles of Death, and he also has had a prominent role in several other religious articles...as well as Batman.
