yesterday and today — a cacophony of sights, cultures, religious faiths & history. While hailing from Nazareth — a small settlement at the rural reaches of the Galilee, Jesus had extensive contact with the major Jewish center of Jerusalem throughout his earthly sojourn. He came to the city for Passover while growing up. His ministry started in Galilee but climactic moments often centered on Jerusalem — especially in the days leading up to the Last Supper, arrest in the Garden of Gethsemane, trial, crucifixion, subsequent resurrection and ascension. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56d8df74f8baf30ef09e0c9b/1682914465017-IUZSIUVXPW6XZ5A7W2JH/EH_Israel_a+034+%28square%29+dome+view+%28ChatGPT+Pespective+Text%29.png ChatGPT Perspective http://www.jesustheheresy.com/john daily 0.75 2023-12-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56d8df74f8baf30ef09e0c9b/a7cd36bc-b9d9-459f-aa18-26c27962473b/EDH_0603+-+Steps+to+House+of+Caiphas.JPG John's Heresy - Personal Divinity - Make it stand out Pictured here in Jerusalem are the ancient steps to what is reputed to be the house of Caiaphas — before whom Jesus was brought for questioning after his arrest in the Garden of Gethsemane. And there are yet more stories behind this account of this climactic event leading to Jesus’ crucifixion. The gospel writer John had a father named Zebedee — who owned what appears to have been a substantial fishing operation in the first century on the Sea of Galilee — north of Jerusalem. At this time, the fish harvested were prized as a delicacy throughout much of the Roman empire — from Jerusalem to Rome. Consequently Zebedee & sons fishing business had status beyond the Galilee. In addition to his sons James and John, Zebedee also employed laborers from nearby villages including future disciples Peter and Andrew from Bethsaida. Skipping forward in time from the beginning to the end of the earthly ministry of Jesus, the Gospel of John (chapter 18) tells us that “another disciple” (i.e., John) “was known to the high priest” Caiaphas. With this access into the household of a high ranking member of the city’s elite, it is John who lets Peter into the courtyard where Peter would deny his affiliation with Jesus the Christ three times. The inter-relationships between the family of Jesus and that of John also are interesting. While not privy to all the details, the biblical evidence available hints at the possibility that Jesus and John were cousins. The potential relationship between the family of Jesus and that of John is highlighted by comparing three gospel accounts of Jesus’ stalwart women followers who would come to the site of the crucifixion — as recounted by Mathew, Mark and John, as follows: - And many women who followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering to Him, were there looking on from afar, among whom were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of Zebedee’s sons. (Matthew 27:55-56) - There were also women looking on from afar, among whom were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James the Less and of Joses, and Salome, who also followed Him and ministered to Him when He was in Galilee, and many other women who came up with Him to Jerusalem. (Mark 15:40-41) - Now there stood by the cross of Jesus His mother, and His mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene. When Jesus therefore saw His mother, and the disciple whom He loved standing by, He said to His mother, “Woman, behold your son!” Then He said to the disciple (John), “Behold your mother!” (John 19:25-26) Two of the three gospel accounts mention Mary Magdalene first. All three accounts reference a “Mary” described in John’s gospel as the wife of Clopas and by Mark as mother of James the Less and Joses with James the Less referenced elsewhere (Mark 2:14, Mark 3:18 and Luke 6:15) as the son of Alphaeus (which appears to be a variation of Clopas). From the above accounts, this leaves only one other woman at the cross unaccounted for — a person identified as the mother of Zebedee’s sons by Matthew, as Salome by Mark and as the sister of Jesus’ mother by John. While these could be different people, the similarity of the gospel listings strongly suggest that the gospel writers are all referring to the same person, i.e., Salome as the wife of Zebedee To summarize, here is the logic in simplified equation form: Mother of Zebedee’s sons = Salome = Jesus’ mother’s sister. Zebedee’s sons = James & John. Therefore: John = Jesus’ cousin.

As told by John’s gospel at Chapter 14: “Now Thomas, one of the twelve, called the Twin, was not with them when Jesus came. So the other disciples told him, “We have seen the Lord.” But he said to them, “Unless I see in his hands the mark of the nails, and place my finger into the mark of the nails, and place my hand into his side, I will never believe.” Eight days later, his disciples were inside again, and Thomas was with them. Although the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you.” Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here, and see my hands; and put out your hand, and place it in my side. Do not disbelieve, but believe.” Thomas answered him, “My Lord and my God!” Jesus said to him, “Have you believed because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.” By some sources, Thomas is credited with authority the non-canonical Gospel of Thomas — although this very possibly dates to the 2nd century AD. Later traditions also suggest that Thomas made is way to Persia and south India, where he may have been the founder of the ancient Mar Thomas Church. Despite what little is definitively known about Thomas, his history and legacy remain a matter of debate and speculation within the broader realm of Christendom. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56d8df74f8baf30ef09e0c9b/1690935682457-FUL9JC337IS1GB7GYR6R/the-incredulity-of-st-thomas-caravaggio+%28square%29.jpg Doubting Thomas - Mystery & Wisdom http://www.jesustheheresy.com/mary daily 0.75 2023-09-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56d8df74f8baf30ef09e0c9b/14a1c3a0-c206-4d9c-b84e-4f30728e52a1/Ivanov+mary+magdalene+%28square%29.jpg Mary's Heresy - Life & Resurrection - Make it stand out This painting of the Appearance of Jesus Christ to Maria Magdalena was completed in 1835 by the Russian artist Alexander Ivanov —influenced by the so-called Nazarenes — largely German Romantics attempting to revive greater spirituality in art. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56d8df74f8baf30ef09e0c9b/1693947636382-UKP6403BT35MTJBTMGVU/Ivanov+mary+magdalene+%28square%29.jpg Mary's Heresy - Life & Resurrection http://www.jesustheheresy.com/constantine daily 0.75 2023-09-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56d8df74f8baf30ef09e0c9b/85ae0540-4c27-417f-bc90-a6ad51e58488/Council+of+Nicaea+-+Constantine+%28History+Skills+-+Cited-Square%29.png Constantine's Heresy - Monolithic Christianity - Make it stand out The 4th century Christian historian and church bishop known as Eusebius of Caesarea attended and recorded the events of the Council of Nicaea in 325 AD. According to the written account of Eusebius, Roman Emperor Constantine convened the ecclesiastical council to resolve a theological controversy over the nature and the relationship of God the Father to God the Son (Jesus Christ). Eusebius proposed a creed that the Son was begotten ”from the substance of the Father.” In effect, he had proposed a compromise position — but one that failed to fully address the key issue of whether the Son was of the same substance (or essence) of the Father or whether the Son was of different or similar but not the same substance. It was at this point that the Emperor himself intervened, making the final call. In a letter to his church congregation at Caesarea, Eusebius gives his account of what followed: ————— “On this faith being publicly put forward by us (i.e., Eusebius), no room for contradiction appeared; but our most pious Emperor, before any one else, testified that it was most orthodox. He confessed, moreover, that those were his own sentiments; and he advised all present to agree to it, and to subscribe its articles and to assent to them, with the insertion of the single word Consubstantial (homoousios) which, moreover, he interpreted himself saying that the Son is consubstantial not accordingly to bodily affections, and that the Son subsisted from the Father neither according to division, nor severance: for the immaterial, and intellectual, and incorporeal nature could not be the subject of any bodily affection, but that it became us to conceive of such things in a divine and ineffable manner. And our most wise and religious Emperor reasoned in this manner.” ————— The key provision of the adopted credal statement was determined not by the assembled church leaders but by imperial dictate. The emperor further ordered that the dissenters “be arrested and banished to the most distant region possible.” As debated and further refined by subsequent church councils, this is the basis of what became the Trinitarian doctrine of Father, Son and Holy Spirit as “three in one.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56d8df74f8baf30ef09e0c9b/1696114625785-JMXHE32MTNAOREWUYK0O/Council+of+Nicaea+-+Constantine+%28History+Skills+-+Cited-Square%29.png Constantine's Heresy - Monolithic Christianity http://www.jesustheheresy.com/luther daily 0.75 2023-12-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56d8df74f8baf30ef09e0c9b/9911c254-78e8-456b-8036-0e954c1d4b1f/Martin+Luther+posting+95+theses.png Martin Luther - Reformation Undone - Make it stand out Painting is of Luther posting 95 theses by Ferdinand Pauwels, 1872. Whether Martin Luther actually posted his theses on the door of the castle church in Wittenberg has been a matter of some debate. There is more consensus that Luther sent copies of his 95 Theses to Archbishop Albrecht of Mainz and Bishop Jerome of Brandenburg. ———- Due to Marting Luther, the single church created by Emperor Constantine was faced with a challenger over an issue as old as the dispute between the apostle Paul and Jesus’ brother James. Was salvation from eternal damnation to be found as a matter of works or as a matter of faith? Luther would take his historic stand at Wittenburg – placing himself in opposition to the combined weight of more than a millennium of accreted Catholic dogma. His 95 theses unleashed the forces of people, faith and politics against papal authority and the economic hegemony of a single European church-state. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56d8df74f8baf30ef09e0c9b/1699555162890-2TD740M0R6M06H6T4FUE/Martin+Luther+posts+95+theses+Square.png Martin Luther - Reformation Undone http://www.jesustheheresy.com/jesus daily 0.75 2024-02-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56d8df74f8baf30ef09e0c9b/d26ba07e-f066-4c5e-968a-e7739e1f5273/%28Canaanite+Woman%29+Pieter+Lastman%2C+1617+%28Square%29.jpeg Jesus Christ & Conflicted Christianity - Make it stand out This 1617 painting by Pieter Lastman is of Jesus and the Canaanite (or Syro-Phoenician) woman. ———- As recounted by the Gospel of Matthew, Chapter 15 (ESV):: And Jesus went away from there and withdrew to the district of Tyre and Sidon (a pagan land beyond the Galilee). And behold, a Canaanite woman from that region came out and was crying, “Have mercy on me, O Lord, Son of David; my daughter is severely oppressed by a demon.” But he did not answer her a word. And his disciples came and begged him, saying, “Send her away, for she is crying out after us.” He answered, “I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.” But she came and knelt before him, saying, “Lord, help me.” And he answered, “It is not right to take the children's bread and throw it to the dogs.” She said, “Yes, Lord, yet even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their masters' table.” Then Jesus answered her, “O woman, great is your faith! Be it done for you as you desire.” And her daughter was healed instantly. ———- This is a most unusual encounter in two respects: - Jesus intentionally demeans this foreign woman in terms that today that could be considered as racist. - Despite baiting her, the Canaanite woman gets the better of the interaction with a comeback overpowering Jesus’ initial disregard of her situation. A perfect example of Jesus’ purposefully setting up the conflict, then rewarding the one who can takes the heat and works through the contradiction. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56d8df74f8baf30ef09e0c9b/1701449392846-28I7CODGUQMUZ2TOALIX/%28Canaanite+Woman%29+Pieter+Lastman%2C+1617+%28Square%29.jpeg Jesus Christ & Conflicted Christianity
