Well, when Jesus was playing blues it was flooding down in Texas 'n all the telephone lines were down, so there was no recording of him living and playing in that red house over yonder. To get out of there and back to Galilee he had to go stand down at the crossroads and try to flag a ride....
@@mendez704 Timestamp 3:30 Herbert, pay attention. even the doly L 3:29 confirmed that he was in Tibet at one 3:31 time Billy, in other written and video claims goes on to say the Dali confirms Jesus studied there in Tibet. My comment was removed but I still got your comment. Where I stated the Dali had a little boy s__k his ton_ue. Evidently spelling the whole word is a violation of free speech. Who highlighted your comment??? Ignorant.
I've come across a lot of billy carsons content over the past 10 years or so..... what I've found over the years is that pretty much none of his claims hold up to even 5 minutes of proper research.
@@digitaljanus Yes, but that's Scorsese's Jesus as portrayed by Willem Dafoe in the Scorsese masterpiece LTOC. For you, I highly recommend Killers of the Flower Moon, it's impossibly long and slow and I couldn't take my eyes off it.
You know, given that we're getting apocrypha published in 1901 being described as "definitely omitted by the Catholics in the 4th-5th centuries CE" How long till people claim "Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal" as genuine scripture intentionally suppressed?
If you are interested on what the Dalai Lama actually has to say about Jesus and Christianity, he wrote a book about it called the Good Heart. It's far more focused seeing common elements, not some secret revelation. Some of the insights are really interesting.
Can we at least appreciate the steel-clad confidence with which this guy lies? "Jesus learned invisibility magic from the unseen tribes of Papua New Guinea before teaching Thomas Jefferson to write in cursive so the Declaration of Independence would look pretty." There is some twisted elegance to spewing that much BS without batting an eye.
It's a mistake to say he went to Egypt to escape Herod. That's bs. The slaughter of the innocents part 2 never happened. He simply went to Egypt for better internet. Egypt was rocking 1Mb at the time. The provinces were still on dial-up. Jesus needed the additional bandwidth for zoom sessions with George Noory on Coast to Coast Am, which is where he built his popularity.
@@KaiHenningsen 🤷🏻♀ You mean like a story written on some golden tablets and then found centuries later by a well known con-man and are completely historically inaccurate? 🤔 😁😉😂😂😂😂
@dan, you should add “Billy Carson“ to the title of your video so it’s easier to search through all content related to him. Just a suggestion. I am sure there’s a lot of people like me who wanna know what other garbage Billy is spreading as “facts”.
Billy Carson is an expert on biblical and christian history, quantum physics, biology, nutritional science, astronomy, chemistry. He's either the most brilliant man alive today, or the biggest conman. I can't decide.
Hearing about St. Bacchus, did early Christians think it was an issue to have a theophoric name that originates with deities from outside the Jewish/Christian cosmology?
Wait until you hear the stories about Jesus's time as an apprentice to a corn farmer, near where Des Moines, Iowa is today and how he healed the corn blight simply by speaking to the stalks of corn and created ethanol (ex nihilo) to fuel ancient tractors.
Again? Jesus studied in Tibet? We've all heard that before. Supposedly he studied at Buddhist monasteries. Unfortunately, history teaches us otherwise. The first Tibetan Buddhist monasteries weren't build until the 8th Century CE when the first Buddhist teachers (ie, Śāntarakṣita & Padmasambhāva) came to Tibet from India. In Jesus' time, 700 years earlier, the indigenous, shamanistic religion Bön was prevalent there. If Jesus did study in Tibet, it wasn't Buddhism he learned. I'm no Biblical scholar but maybe Dan can point out the shamanistic teachings of Jesus. ;)
I think these claims are a way to make Jesus seem more like Pythagoras, who according to ancient legend (not necessarily historical) learned esoteric knowledge from Egypt and India. So much of the New Age was in search of a universal secret that all the cool ancients were in on, and that later generations conveniently forgot... which is a rehash of Renaissance-era "prisca theologia" made less Christian and with Atlantis, lodge magic, and New Thought mixed in.
Sometimes it's easy to see shifty-eyed con-men performing at what they think is a proficient enough level so as to sell their books, ideologies, & what have you. Then I think back to the masters in the last couple of centuries, who's cons are still fooling even the brightest among us. 😎
God knows everything. That's why he went to Egypt. To learn. Also, I've met the Dalai Lama. I offered him a go on my bike, but he was worried that his robe would get caught in the chain. That is 100% true.
Just to elaborate a little further, for funsies, the earliest we see any claims about an early life for Jesus come from Matthew. An anonymously written book that came about two to three lifetimes after anyone who could have possibly known Jesus was long dead. If that wasn't bad enough, you can throw in the fact that Matthew's author copied from Mark, meaning Matthew also lacks independence and there is some pretty good scholarship out there suggesting that the entire story of Jesus' early life is a long chiasmus which was developed by inverting the death narrative first developed in Mark. In other words, there's good reason to believe it is wholly fiction. So as mentioned, no, we got nothing. Nothing worth hanging your hat on at any rate. And I'd go farther and say that we don't actually have any good information about any part of Jesus' life. We've got Paul talking about knowing Jesus from visions and scripture and then decades later we start getting stories of the life of Jesus. Some scholars like to talk about "kernels of truth" within the gospel narratives. But for every argument out there you can find a counter-argument. The whole thing is just vibes, guesses based on nothing.
@@rainbowkrampus The birth/childhood narratives are especially suspect given that the versions in Matthew and Luke are so different. Only Matthew has the flight into Egypt, for example. Only Luke has the story about Jesus at 12. Paradoxically though, the existence of these tales are taken by many scholars as evidence that Jesus was actually a real person, not a pure invention from visions and scripture. That they needed for theological reasons to jump through hoops to have Jesus born in Bethlehem suggests that Jesus was already known as being from the inconveniently unremarkable Nazareth. Also, Matthew wasn't that late according to most scholars. Broad consensus for "last quarter of the century", so between 40-65 years after Jesus's death. Jesus's contemporaries would have been dead, but not "two to three lifetimes after anyone who could have possibly known Jesus was long dead". This doesn't mean the author of Matthew was an eyewitness or even knew one of course, but we don't need to exaggerate to make that point.
No, given the high rates of infant mortality in ancient times, almost nothing is known of the childhood of any historically significant person, beyond the fact of their birth. It was either not considered important enough to record, or if such records did exist almost none survive. Instead the tradition of ancient biographers was to make up stories of important persons' childhoods that would make for narratively satisfying prologues to their later actual accomplishments. For example, the childhood stories of Alexander the Great have him taming a stallion none of his father's greatest warriors could, or asking Persian diplomats to his father's court about the disposition of their armies. These events almost certainly didn't happen, but they illustrate to the ancient audience that Alexander was always destined to conquer Persia. Likely the story of preteen Jesus in the Temple lecturing the scribes on the Torah is in a similar vein, as are all the miraculous events surrounding his birth.
@@digitaljanusI'm reminded of some of the stories about George Washington that are 100% whole cloth inventions, like that "I cannot tell a lie" cherry tree story, or the one ReligionForBreakfast covered about Washington "Dedicating America In Prayer To God," as if Washington was every bit the kind of fanatic Christian Nationalist-Supremacist we see in alternate history games like Bioshock Infinite
Maybe they got Reiki healing from Jesus because didn’t he skip the crucifixion to travers the ups and downs of travel and live out his life in Japan?? 😜
Post-resurrection, which presumably comes with _fast travel_. It would be a rather difficult trip in that era without supernatural ability or intervention. Not impossible but extremely difficult, and unlikely for people to attempt without good reasons.
@@sadib100 The Book of Mormon narrative is begins with an extended family being led by God from Jerusalem not long before its destruction. They're identified as being from Manasseh, which is one of the "Ten Lost Tribes," but that term is typically used to refer to those who were scattered or enslaved when the Northern Kingdom was conquered, not for people who had already moved to Judah.
Wow. You are telling me that the Nicene Council meets for a couple months in AD 325 to decide official church doctrine and gives us one sentence for 18 foundational missing years about the life of the pivotal figure in history, and we are told it’s not important and forget about it. Who is being disingenuous?
I watch Billy Carson and out of 100% I believed 90% of what Billy said. After doing more and more research on my own. Now I find more and more of what he says is not adding up
Can you make a video about the miracles that Jesus supposedly did. Curing a blind man, walking on water, healing a dead, are any of these even remotely true
There was a woman whose amputated toes were regrown including toe nails through prayer to Jesus at James River Church in Missouri in Mar 2023! There are eye witnesses including the pastor. People never lie or exaggerate.
The only specific accounts we have of miracles are from believers, writing decades later. Jesus meets the evidentiary standards of historians to conclude he was very likely a real person. Miracles were attributed to him at the time or soon afterwards, but belief or disbelief is a spiritual matter.
Billy Carson gives off "God told me to sleep with your wife" Vibes Obviously he's a grifter and a con artist. My favorite part about him is people who believe him
Some of the stories about Jesus in the Qur'an, such as creating birds from clay and speaking as an infant, are not found in the canonical Gospels but have parallels in apocryphal texts like the Infancy Gospel of Thomas and other early Christian writings.
@@Jaymastia Interesting, but it doesn't really show anything other than that Mohammed (or others involved in writing the Qur'an) knew enough of contemporary Christianity to draw on popular apocryphal stories. Which says interesting things about the origins of Islam and the environment it developed out of, but not really much of interest about the stories themselves.
Yeshuah seems to interpret the Torah with very non-Jewish concepts in the Sermon on the Mount that sound more Buddhist. I read some Greeks (Menander) either became Buddhist or were influenced...I wish Dan would comment on whether this influence traveled to Israel.
Jesus wouldn't have to go to India to learn Buddhism. Church Fathers Socrates Scholasticus, Epiphanius, Cyril of Jerusalem, Eusebius and others said a man jointly named Buddas / Terebinthus conversed with the apostles in Jerusalem (pre 70) with four Indian books and claimed to have been born from a virgin. They say one of his books was titled Euangelion which would make it the earliest attested book with that title
It's theoretically possible, but there's no reason to think he did - or that any of the Jewish Christian writers of the NT had any knowledge of Buddhism.
There's direct cultural exchange between the ancient Mediterranean world and India going back at least to Alexander the Great's conquests in northern India, around 300 years before Jesus' birth. E.g. The war elephants Hannibal used in his campaign against the Romans a century later would have been imported from India, probably along with Indian mahouts to guide them. (African elephants do not have the temperament to be trained like Indian elephants.) But the concept of reincarnation already existed among the ancient Greeks, appearing in Plato's _Republic_ half a century before Alexander's eastern campaigns even begin. Whether South Asian ideas were already in circulation in classical Greece before Alexander or eastern Mediterranean philosophers came upon the idea independently, the Greco-Roman world was aware of the concept centuries before Jesus' birth.
@@digitaljanus the Buddhist influence on the West is seen even well before Alexander as the archeologist Flinders Petrie unearthed an Indian Buddha at the Memphis Ptah temple dated to the time of Cambyses. Cambyses is a namesake of the Buddhist Kambojas who the Buddhist claim to have converted during the reign of Cambyses or Cyrus. The name of the so called Persian Imposter Komedes or Gomata, Gomedha or "Cow sacrificer resurrector" was also a namesake of the Kambojas. Darius claims that Cyrus came from Haxamamis, i.e. Shakyamunis and, as the name Codomannus is found in the family of Cyrus, likewise are the Gautamas married into the Kurus (Cyrus). The haughty Scythian (Saka) prince JanCyrus also bore the title and the Indian king said by some to have killed Cyrus was Derbikes ( Bikes / Bhojas). Herodotus wrote that Amasis gave Cyrus or Cambyses an eye-doctor whose biography matches that of Pythagoras (BuddhaCharyas/Ptah-Osiris). The superlative case of Prakrit Charyas, "doctor", cognate Sanskrit Guru(s), is Charyasthi or Kharosthi (Christ) and Dr Clyde Winters has found that the African Meroe adopted the Kharosthi script. The Jotham and Nahush / Nachash of Jesus' genealogy are probably the Indian Gautama and Nagas. Herodotus said that the moral exemplars of Thebes ( Devas) were the Pi-ramas (Brahmins) and Thebes was home to Cadmus (Gautamas / Kadmon) and Oggyges ( The Budd Okkakas). Josephus said that the Terebinth of Mamre was also called "Ogyges" and early legends claim Jesus was born under a terebinth ( Persian Butm) tree. Church fathers said a man named jointly Buddas / Terebinthus claimed to have been born from a virgin. In Pseudo Matthew a palm tree bends down for Mary at Jesus' birth and in the Lalitavistara the Sal tree bends down for the Buddha's mother Maya at birth. Muslims said the Christian monk Bahira saw the Terebinth tree bend down for Muhammad or Maha-Metteya. Metteya being the vulgar Sanskrit (Prakrit) rendering of Maitreya, the future Buddha: cognate Mithra / Mitra / Metatron
It’s all false and we need scholars to educate all religious fanatics. Want mass subscribers, stop responding to ignorance and start teaching in the first person. Cheers!
Yeah Jesus never had to learn anything as He is God incarnate. When He was twelve, and Joseph and Mary left Jerusalem without Him, Jesus tarried at His own Passover feast and was in the temple. When they found Him He told them in Luke 2:49-“And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? wist ye not that I must be about my Father's business?”
The real Jesus only cared about animal rights. That's why he hated the Temple, as it was a den of traffickers of the flesh of God's creatures. An allowance was made to eat fish because fish breath water instead of air and their breath of life isn't from God, and they have no sacrificial properties. Sure Jesus was gay and probably a communist, but the focus of his movement was just animal rights; that's why all the artworks of him from the spirit are of him cradling an littlest sheep, not him getting gay with the beloved disciple, or whining about social justice. Giving up paganism is supposed to be about not sacrificing animals to gods or eating meat, which were inextricably linked in paganism.
