IT is thàt movement, in essence, not its founder,

THAT RECEIVES THE ATTENTION OF SECOND-CENTURY HISTORIANS LIKE TACITUS @118 CE/AD & PLINY THE YOUNGER @113, BOTH OF WHOM MENTION YESH HANOTSRI AKA HAMASHIACH BUT ACTUALLY REVEAL LITTLE ABOUT HIM, SAVE FOR HIS EXPECTED ARREST & USUALLY VERY CRUEL EXECUTION - AN IMPORTANT HISTORICAL NOTE, AS WE SAW MANY TIMES BEFORE AND SHALL SEE AGAIN & AGAIN, BUT ONE THAT sheds LITTLE light ON THE DETAILS OF YESHUA's life? We are therefore left with whatever info càn be gleaned from the socalled New Testament 'as continuation of the "Old Testament"' since almost 20 ages by now! The first written testimony that more or less we have about this "Yeshu" comes from the epistles of Sha'ul Paul, an 'early' follower of 'HIM' who died sometime around 66 CEAD {SP's first epistle, 1 Thessalonians, (can be dated between 48 & 50!?), some two decades after Yehoshua's intriguing death!}?

The trouble with this SP, however, is that he probably displays an extraordinary lack of real interest in the 'historical' Yesh?! Only three scenes from YESHUA's LIFE are ever even mentioned in his epistles: the Last Supper @1 Corinthians 11:23-26, the crucifixion @1C2:2, and, MOST crucially for SP, his resurrection (!), without which, he claims in 1 Corinthians 15:14, "our preaching is empty & your faith is in vain"!? This Jewish Roman SP may be an excellent source for those interested in the earliest (?) formation of Jewish Christianity, but he is a poor guide for uncovering 'the historical Yesh'?!

As far as Mor is concerned, I've met very many kinds of Christians, Jews & 'others' with all kinds of opinions about this 'man' @ Galil ~ I grew up with bible stories, went to all kinds of different churches from a very young age untill the sixties all over Holland & quite a lot of other countries in surrounding countries, Italy, Greece,
Israel, Jordan, Turkey, Pakistan, India, Japan & Russia (still ussr) in the early & late seventies, eighties & nineties, but what really matters is what we ourselves 'do with it' in our own daily life? With or without any church, congregation, movement or 'group'! And I'm quite sure this 'essentially human attitude' can basically be found always almost practically everywhere: most dangerously so in many "Arab" & 'communist' countries for colonial & sectarian reasons? Or in Esther ~~
