In this deep dive, we unravel one of the most intriguing controversies of ancient intellectual history: the alleged borrowing of ideas between Moses and Plato. While the ancients ardently believed and posited that Plato might have drawn inspiration from Moses, modern scholarship is turning the tables on this theory. Some scholars now suggest that Moses, as portrayed in biblical narratives, might not be as ancient as traditionally believed. Could it be that the biblical authors were influenced by the Hellenistic world, including the philosophical titan, Plato? Join us as we sift through historical clues, analyze ancient texts, and engage with scholars to uncover the truth behind the improbable Moses-Plato controversy. This journey promises to challenge what you thought you knew about two of history's most iconic figures. Dive in, and let's set the record straight!

“Christianity is Platonism for the masses” - Friedrich Nietzsche
@Arkoudeides.
@Arkoudeides. 23 дня назад
There is nothing common between orthodoxy and platonism. Greetings from Greece.
@Tyler_W
@Tyler_W 22 дня назад
​@Arkoudeides. That's objectively not true. Many key Christian thinkers were heavily influenced by neoplatonism. Many Christian philosophers and theologians used neoplatonism to argue for Christianity which helped in the formulation of integral Christian doctrine. I don't necessarily agree with Nietzche's quote because it seems like an incredibly reductionistic dismissal of Christianity and a failure to recognize where they diverge, but it's also false to say that Christianity has nothing whatsoever to do with neoplatonic thought.

I honestly think it goes far deeper than just simply religion... I may have a bias at play in my train of thought, but it honestly seems to me that Rome was intent on conquering the world in all aspects of life, and has quite frankly been successful. Consider language, military tactics, prevalence in literatures of various religions and writing style, art influence (all types), and just so much more. Going in depth on all of what I just pointed out, would probably be less than a blemish of a scratch on the tip of an ice berg that is hundreds of miles deep. Consider the fact that whomever writes history, controls the world. I seriously want to know just what is contained in the vault of the Vatican. There are always things that are completely off limits, whether it is to scholars or even cardinals. The only person that could probably view anything, would be the pope himself. Speaking of the Pope, just consider his role as the leader that has been deified... seems like an old tradition mentioned commonly. What exactly is in the vault of the Vatican? Why is it so secret? What is the true history of humanity? Just what level of control and influence do they actually have? Forget the Illuminati, they are nothing in comparison to Rome and the Vatican.

The Julio-Claudian emperors wanted to be worshipped as living gods. Their plan was to impose emperor worship on the empire. One religion makes an empire easier to rule. They hit a snag when they tried to impose emperor worship on the Jews. Before the War, there was a Roman propaganda campaign to soften Jewish resistance. Philo is an example. He was an Herodian, and they were very much allied with Rome as was their relatives, the Alexander family. The children of these families were educated in the imperial palace since Augustus. After the War, the Herods were rewarded by the new Flavian dynasty for their loyalty and given the authority to establish a new temple to replace their old income from the old temple. But the religion had to be Roman authorized. The Herods (and Alexanders) employed some Roman intellectuals to create a new religion from the pre-war propaganda, emperor worship, and raided the Iliad, Odyssey. Aeneid, and Septuagint for stories, but mostly the NT story of Jesus is the story of Titus conquering Judaea. Do not underestimate emperor worship. This was a full religion with gorgeous temples, incense, sermons, … the whole nine yards. Constantine was the one who made the laws requiring sons to have the same occupation as their fathers, thus starting feudalism which would last a thousand years until 1348 when the bubonic plague (temporarily?). broke the Church’s power, thus setting the stage for the Renaissance and the Reformation. The Church does not want you to know that the NT is an Herodian forgery. That’s the big secret.

It is really all "hidden in plain sight". The people behind Christianity, and many other scams, were identified by Plato as Sophists. In Plato's Protagoras they are described this way: “Now the art of the Sophist is, as I believe, of great antiquity; but in ancient times those who practiced it, fearing this odium, veiled and disguised themselves under various names, some under that of poets, as Homer, Hesiod, and Simonides, some, of hierophants and prophets, as Orpheus and Musaeus, and some, as I observe, even under the name of gymnastic‐masters, like Iccus of Tarentum, or the more recently celebrated Herodicus, now of Selymbria and formerly of Megara, who is a first‐rate Sophist. Your own Agathocles pretended to be a musician, but was really an eminent Sophist; also Pythocleides the Cean; and there were many others; and all of them, as I was saying, adopted these arts as veils or disguises because they were afraid of the odium which they would incur.” These were the men that built Plato's famous "Cave", Christianity, and many other frauds. Note that Plato states in the first line that Sophists "...fearing this odium, veiled and disguised themselves..." and then repeats these ideas in the last line saying "...adopted these arts as veils or disguises because they were afraid of the odium...". This repetition is one of the tricks employed by the Sophists themselves when they find the need to temporarily use words according to their literal meanings. Another example of this particular trick is found in Plato's Theaetetus where Socrates describes the Sophist Protagoras this way: “In the name of the Graces, what an almighty wise man Protagoras must have been! He spoke these things in a parable to the common herd, like you and me, but told the truth, his Truth, in secret to his own disciples.” In this second example the true meaning of "truth" was needed because the metaphoric "truth" relates to the half truths of allegoric writing which is literally false but hides real world knowledge. Socrates description of Protagoras has an obvious "parallel" to Christ: "With many similar parables Jesus spoke the word to them, as much as they could understand. He did not say anything to them without using a parable. But when he was alone with his own disciples, he explained everything." Mark 4:33-34 This "parallel" was actually intended as an allusion to Plato's Protagoras designed to identify Jesus with Sophism. The Sophists are conmen that employ what is essentially an allegoric code and the numerous "parallels" between different writings are often simply allusions designed to provide the context necessary to decipher the allegory. However, the Sophists also like to tell the same story again and again but with different sets of metaphors and allusions and this can also result in apparent "parallels". This practice also provides the basis for the concept of "reincarnation" since the same story can be set in different literal times and places. Christianity actually emerged during a period known as the "Second Sophistic" but modern scholars ignore this fact because of the Pandora's Box that it opens. It seems likely that only a small minority of the current Church hierarchy are actual Sophists, and it is even possible that some Popes have been ignorant of the truth, but many others are undoubtedly are aware that their religion is a fraud because of the way pedophile priests are protected. There are also many secular Sophists who are actively engaged in manipulating our world and feeding the masses their allegories. Freemasonry is just one modern example, while movies such as The Matrix and They Live taunt us with some rather blatant admissions about what is really occurring. Context is the key that allows all the pieces to fall into place.

I wouldn't rule out the probability that the incorporation of Platonic thought found its way into the primary history of the Bible. Is it a common source, or were the ancients right in recognizing, either Moses copied Plato or Plato copied Moses? I do think we should keep an open mind to a late Persian or hellenistic touch on the Bible's final touch-ups.

A skeleton Torah was likely at play around Ezra’s time, which was roughly contemporary with Plato. The Torah and books of history appear to be heavily redacted through a Greek lense! An important point you left out is that the books of history and the prophets never indicate the people were actually following the deuteronomic law , they mention following the Torah of YHWH but specific observance is never reflected. In other words it appears they weren’t aware of the Torah in any meaningful way. Further, archeology is replete with evidence that Israel was no different than the surrounding culture. I think this model is starting to have some explanatory power!!! Keep up the good work.

Interesting. I think you have amassed enough material to make us think about this more deeply rather than dismiss out of hand. It is now an interesting area of inquiry. My view is that the Torah is composed of older elements with redaction and compilation with some ancient material. However it is possible that if someone had knowledge of Plato that might influence their redaction. It is still possible that Plato was aware of the Hebrew laws, unlikely he copied them. It is also interesting to explore that these writings are mutially related to some degree and worthy of investigation.

I’m wondering if this copying happened shortly before the Hellenistic era, because after Alexander’s conquest Greek culture became dominant in the Middle East. Wouldn’t it have been too obvious that the Torah was forged and borrowing from the Greeks? Whereas earlier, when the area was ruled by Persians and Greece was a more exotic and unknown place, the Jewish commoners would be more ignorant that their own elites are borrowing ideas from the Greeks.

Taking the word, of fundamentalists, just because it was written 2000 years ago, is as strange as taking it serious today. The reason why the greek writings is so much more plausible and not being what amount to ancient tin foil hattery, *is the source referencing.* Moses historicity is about as certain as Odin/Wodin/Wotan.

Also when you look at history, there is more bullet holes in Judaism. Why would Jews return to live in Egypt when it is forbidden for them to return to live with their slave owners in Egyot? When Cleopatra the Seventh, the wife of JUlius Ceasar, she was a pharaoh of Egypt when the Jews immigrated to Alexandria Egypt. She allowed them to immigrate and granted them the right of commerce and the right to practice their religion. --- this is history. But there is nothing on Egypt's walls about Jews being slaves there, nor a famouse exodus there -- nothing . Also, the anscestors of Cleopatra were the first to translate the Torah of Moses into Greek. So, she was aware of the 5 books of Moses since a relative of her translated it into Greek. But had there been any records of Jews being enemies of Egypt, probably, Cleopatra would have genocide them since they were considered enemies of Egypt, or Her husband Julius Ceasar -- Rome would have genocide them. But because there is no historical records saying Jews were slaves in Egypt, Jews are enemies of Egypt and about a famouse Exodus, Cleopatra granted them residency in Egypt. But it leaves the question, why would run-away Jews return to live with their slave masters? Is like USA, why would run-away-African-Amricans return to live in slave states? Logic, common sense, survival instant, dictates, you want to get away from there possible, never return.

An important point you left out is that the books of history and the prophets never indicate the people were actually following the deuteronomic law , they mention following the Torah of YHWH but specific observance is never reflected. In other words it appears they weren’t aware of the Torah in any meaningful way. Further, archeology is replete with evidence that Israel was no different than the surrounding culture. I think this model is starting to have some explanatory power!!! Keep up the good work.

I love how this discussion taps into one of the greatest taboos in a way that one can discover it without being told explicitly. The taboo that people were not living in isolated bubbles and that ideas , culture, beliefs changed and adapted over time and by culture. Usually there is the focus on making neighboring people and cultures "other" and certain people as "special". When you can see all the different cultures influence you can see people are more alike than different. Plus, you can see that ideas are things that change in time.

It was never a serious question to anyone with even cursory knowledge of the Bible knows of its roots in Greco-Roman Hellenist thought (as well as Jewish and Zoroastrianism tradition). This is the first I've ever heard of the reverse claim, and it is obsard to think Plato took from the fictional character of Moses.

The problem is the timelines. Most scholars believe that Ezra wrote, edited, or compiled the first five cooks of Moses. The problem with this being a copy of Plato, is that Plato was born 13 years after Ezra had died. Those timelines could be off a few years, but not much. It is probable that there was a Greek influence, trade and cultural exchange in the Mediterranean was common. It is completely different to believe that Plato influenced a text, that even liberal scholars, believe was compiled before his birth. It is likely that both works were influenced by similar sources.

The reason that the historicity of Jesus is unimportant lies in his statement to this effect: My kingdom is not of this world. If this is taken strictly as stated then what occurs in this world does not effect his kingdom though it can be said that his kingdom might still have a considerable effect upon this world of historical events. Myth in other words is more effectual than reality.

@@Heracles_FE I’m sorry you think the Bible is history. Both Christian and non-Christian Bible scholars don’t believe most of what is in the Bible is historically accurate and do not believe in a literal interpretation. Some actual places and historic figures are included but, that doesn’t make the book historically accurate. It is historic fiction, a genre of literature that has existed for millennia. Just because New York is a real piece doesn’t mean Spider-Man was real either. Only a small percentage of Christians (mostly American evangelicals) believe the Bible is literally and factually accurate and true. Look it up if you don’t believe me. Don’t mean to burst your bubble but, everyone should know the truth. There are dozens of Bible scholars with RU-vid channels, podcasts, websites and other social media accounts where you can learn college level scholarship for free! I encourage you to investigate for yourself. Don’t just take the word of your pastor, friends or family who do not have a formal education about this topic. I made that mistake and was misinformed. They had good intentions but, were also misinformed.

Although you say that the biblical writer(s) credit not their sources, it seems to me that they left behind crumbs or evidence for people to see paying homage or giving credit to their sources. One example is the non Hebrew word in the flood account. Names and plot line seem to be another. Maybe there was a desire to subtly acknowledge the sources while maintaining the function and form of the writings.

I mean, its semitic cultural evolution vs greek cultural evolution. From a record of physical history it would appear the Greeks learned about language and boating from the ancient semitic cultures. Jewish History and Semitic history are basically 2 sides of the same coin. Moses was technically a Semitic person, and became the first Jew. I think that distinction is relevant to the discussion.
