Are There Jewish Texts that Reference Jesus?
Yes. The first-century Jewish historian Josephus mentions Jesus, although the major reference in his Antiquities of the Jews appears to have been edited and augmented by Christian scribes. There are a few references in the Talmud to “Yeshu,” which many authorities understand as referring to Jesus.
The Talmud tractate Sanhedrin originally recorded that Yeshu the Nazarene was hung on the eve of Passover for the crime of leading Jews astray. This reference was excised from later versions of the Talmud, most likely because of its use by Christians as a pretext for persecution.In the medieval period, a work called Toledot Yeshu presented an alternative history of Jesus that rejects cardinal Christian beliefs. The work, which is not part of the canon of rabbinic literature, is not widely known.
Maimonides, in his Mishneh Torah, describes Jesus as the failed messiah foreseen by the prophet Daniel. Rather than redeeming Israel, Maimonides writes, Jesus caused Jews to be killed and exiled, changed the Torah and led the world to worship a false God.

You might have to do both all day if that is the only method left to improve your intelligence.I have about 40 methods.However, my parents and my religion has reduced my IQ by at least 30%, so I hope I can at least fix the damage with this.I should have had 150 IQ, but due to shitty parents and shitty country, I only have 120 IQ.I hope I can restore my IQ to 150 by doing logical games which are said to increase intelligence, but also doing meditation, breathing and binaural beats, as well as memory exercises.
Stay on top of it. Give priority to your health.

If you opened your eyes you would have seen Trump does not wear a wedding ring on either hand.What type of person is desperate for attention?An attention seeker may have a personality disorder, such as histrionic personality disorder or borderline personality disorder. However, attention-seeking behavior can also be associated with other causes including poor self-esteem, narcissism, and loneliness.Histrionic personality disorderHistrionic personality disorder is characterized by feeling underappreciated when not the center of attention.Borderline personality disorderBorderline personality disorder is a continuing pattern of instability in self-image, interpersonal relationships, emotion, and impulsivity.Essentially, to ease the feelings of emptiness inside, they are willing to do almost anything to get people to focus on them. Therapy can often help individuals identify their underlying insecurities and develop healthier coping mechanisms.
Is that what you were taught at your therapy classes? Was Trump your role model?

Meditation and binaural beats are most likely beneficial in combination due to being unlikely to cancel each other. I just dont know what is the perfect amount of meditation and binaural beats. Like, could person do these whole day, or few hours a day?

WHat the fuck? Is it really possible that a man working 100 hours a week to save America and the world has very little time for his children? Say this isn't so.Maybe he could delegate some of the parenting to his assistant, Donald Trump.
Maybe he should have let their mothers take care of them instead of kicking them out after each divorce.

What Jesus didn’t leave behind is also a historical fact.
What Jesus left behind is more astonishing when you think of what he didn’t leave:
No wife or child
No house
No clothes
No money
No business
No writings (directly authored while he was on earth)
No hymns
No portrait
No buildings
No cross remnant
No confirmed gravesite
So scant a corporeal trace did Jesus leave that some have claimed he was a myth. The only things he left behind were people who believed his gospel. Jesus left his Word (teaching) and his church (a few hundred people).
And these two legacies changed the course of history. They are, in fact, what history is all about.
Everything passes away: rulers, nations, professions, species, industries, families, possessions, political movements, houses, IRAs, 401Ks, heirlooms, photos, books, cars, schools, degrees, careers—every earthly thing we cherish.
Except for Jesus’ Word and his church.
Those were Jesus’ priorities and legacy. Are they yours? Are you investing in what will last? What will your legacy reveal mattered most to you?
“Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away” (Matthew 24:35).
“I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it” (Matthew 16:18).

Why did Hitler hate the Jews. If the Jews were more likeable could it have changed the course of their history?
Hitler did not invent the hatred of Jews. He capitalised on antisemitic ideas that had been around for a long time.
Hitler was born in Austria in 1889. He developed his political ideas in Vienna, a city with a large Jewish community, where he lived from 1907 to 1913. In those days, Vienna had a mayor who was very anti-Jewish, and hatred of Jews was very common in the city.
During the First World War (1914-1918), Hitler was a soldier in the German army. At the end of the war he, and many other German soldiers like him, could not get over the defeat of the German Empire. The German army command spread the myth that the army had not lost the war on the battlefield, but because they had been betrayed. By a ‘stab in the back’, as it was called at the time. Hitler bought into the myth: Jews and communists had betrayed the country and brought a left-wing government to power that had wanted to throw in the towel.

By blaming the Jews for the defeat, Hitler created a stereotypical enemy. In the 1920s and early 1930s, the defeated country was still in a major economic crisis. According to the Nazis, expelling the Jews was the solution to the problems in Germany.This political message and the promise to make Germany economically strong again won Hitler the elections in 1932. After he had come to power, the laws and measures against the Jews increased all the time. It ended in the Shoah, the Holocaust, the murder of six million European Jews.

Modern Christianity has changed throughout the centuries and continues to adapt today. But did Jesus Christ intend the religion He founded to evolve? Are white supremacist behind the change?
We live in a time of change. We have seen attacks terrorize the West, revolutions topple long-standing regimes and technologies change the way we communicate.
And we are also witnessing changes in the world’s largest religion—Christianity.
Nominal Christianity is in a very fluid state of change. For example:
The pope is reaching out to different groups in a way, it seems, no pope has done before. The conciliatory positions of Pope Francis have led people to describe him as “the people’s pope” and “a pope for everyone.”
More and more denominations are endorsing and/or performing same-sex marriages or civil unions.
Megachurches that have no firm doctrines, but mainly serve as social and community service hubs for attendees, have become popular.
Many churches are changing their teaching of hell, transforming it into an ethereal “state of mind” of eternal separation from God’s love.
Changing beliefs of individual Christians
Polls conducted in recent years by the Pew Research Center revealed some surprising results:
38 percent of American Christians polled say Jesus Christ definitely or probably will never return to earth.
Only 33 percent of American Christians polled believe that the Bible is the Word of God and to be interpreted literally.
65 percent of American Christians polled believe that there are multiple paths to eternal life. Among this group, 80 percent believe at least one non-Christian religion (such as Judaism or Islam) could lead to eternal life.
Essentially, Christianity is heavily impacted by the social and cultural trends of today’s world.
Mainstream Christianity has clearly evolved within the last few decades!

Unrefuted summary of Jesus by Harikrish.
Scriptural verses that declared Jesus a demon possessed lunatic.
John 10:20 Many of them said, "He is demon-possessed and raving mad. Why listen to him?"
Mark 3:21 when his family heard about this, they went to take charge of him, for they said, "He is out of his mind."
Jesus was deluded and believed God spoke through him.
John 12:49 For I did not speak on my own, but the Father who sent me commanded me to say all that I have spoken.
But when the people listened to the words he spoke they did not understand him, even his disciples struggled to understand him. Jesus had to explain to them in secret what he was saying in his parables. But he explained with more parables which suggests God was also incoherent and inarticulate and failed to communicate through Jesus. But we know God turned Moses who was slow in speech and mind into a leader and messenger. The problem was Jesus not God.
Mark 4:34 He did not say anything to them without using a parable. But when he was alone with his own disciples, he explained everything.
Jesus was a notorious liar. Even John the Baptist expressed his doubts to Jesus and asked Jesus if he was really the promised one.
Jesus lied when he said John the Baptist was Elijah. John denied he was Elijah.
Here are the scriptures to back my claims. Jesus said John was Elijah, John denies he is Elijah.
Matthew 11:14
And if you are willing to accept what I say, he is Elijah, the one the prophets said would come.
In John 1:6"8 and John 1:19"28, John the Baptist denies he is Elijah. Yet in Matthew 17:9"13, Jesus implies that he was. Isn't this a contradiction?
John 1:21"They asked him, "Then who are you? Are you Elijah?"
He said, "I am not."
"Are you the Prophet?"
He answered, "No."
John expresses doubts Jesus is the promised one.
Matthew 11:2"When John, who was in prison, heard about the deeds of the Messiah, he sent his disciples 3"to ask him, "Are you the one who is to come, or should we expect someone else?"
Jesus expresses his own doubts on the cross.
Matthew 27:46 About three in the afternoon Jesus cried out in a loud voice, "Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?" (which means "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?").
We know Jesus was crucified for his blasphemous lies.
Jesus did not fulfill any prophesies. By his own account he did not come to change the laws of the prophets. He proved he was subjected to the laws even in his life and thereby validating the Mosaic law given to the Jews by God.
According to the Jewish law:
Deuteronomy 18:20 But a prophet who presumes to speak in my name anything I have not commanded, or a prophet who speaks in the name of other gods, is to be put to death."
It is clear Jesus did not fulfill the prophesies. Instead, He was subjected to the law and put to death as demanded of false prophets according to Mosaic law.
Jesus lied that he was to be sacrificed.
Human sacrifice was forbidden by God. So Jesus was not sacrificed.
Many argue Jesus's death was prophesied. But even Jesus's prophesies were not fulfilled.
1. Matthew 10:23 When you are persecuted in one place, flee to another. Truly I tell you, you will not finish going through the towns of Israel before the Son of Man comes.
Jesus never fulfilled that promise.
2. Matthew 24:34
Truly I tell you, this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened.
2000 years have passed and many generation have gone by yet his promise remains unfulfilled.
Jesus was a liar and a lunatic before and after his death. Unfortunately he could only be crucified once.
So why are Christians turning God into a liar and lunatic or turning a liar and lunatic into a God?
As a Vedantist raised in the Vedantuc tradition and trained in the reading of esoteric scriptures, Christian Theology and Islamic fundamentalist, I am not at liberty to speculate outside of scriptures. And the scriptures are clear that Jesus was tried, convicted and put to death for his blasphemous lies and lunacy.
So why are Christians perpetrating the delusions of a Jewish rabbi who was put to death for his delusional blasphemous lies?
We have to turn to our experts in tbe field of human behaviour. As a student of the behavioural sciences (CBT) I have also explored a diagnostic approach.

Do you think the scriptures support homosexuality?
The Jewish law provides a long list of what constitutes unlawful sexual intercourse in Leviticus 18-20. According to those statutes, a man was forbidden to have sex with the following:
1. His neighbour’s wife (Leviticus 18:21)
2. Another man (Leviticus 18:22) (homosexuality)
3. An animal (Leviticus 18:23) (beastiality)
4. His mother in law (Leviticus 20:11)
5. His daughter in law (Leviticus 20:12)
6. His sister (Leviticus 20:17)
Sex with any of these would be considered porneia – unlawful.

Still can't be answered.
The Hebrew Bible holds the answer.
Moses asked God to show him his glory in Exodus 33
Exodus 33:18 Then Moses said, “Now show me your glory.”
God refuses to oblige saying.
Exodus 33:20 But,” he said, “you cannot see my face, for no one may see me and live.”
Then God turns around and shows Moses his backside.
Exodus 33: 23 Then I will remove my hand and you will see my back; but my face must not be seen.”
The only description the Jews have of God is his backside which was shown to Moses as his glory.
Exodus 33: 23 Then I will remove my hand and you will see my back; but my face must not be seen.”
If God wanted to show his glorious backside and did in Exodus 33:23
Do Jews see God’s backside as his glory?
Was Moses talking to God’s backside the rest of the time because God warned him.
Exodus 33:20 But,” he said, “you cannot see my face, for no one may see me and live.”

The bot thinks Leviticus is in the New Testament LOL.
Jesus quoted from 24 different Old Testament books.
He quoted the Old Testament 78 times, the Pentateuch alone 26 times. He quoted from Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Deuteronomy, Psalms, Proverbs, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Daniel, Hosea, Amos, Jonah, Micah, and Malachi.
Therefore it certainly cannot be argued that Jesus affirmed or was indifferent toward the issue of homosexual sex. Jesus clearly endorsed the Old Testament vision of marriage as an inviolable covenant between one man and one woman and he clearly viewed unlawful sex as being the sort of thing that defiled a person and placed them outside the kingdom of God. Jesus did not use the word “homosexuality” but neither did he use the word “incest” or “bestiality”. He did not need to. In using the Greek word porneia he identified with how the Jewish law delineated lawful and unlawful sex.

No, Trump's case is like if someone won the lottery multiple times and kept going broke each time. A large windfall at once does not lead to responsible spending.

It is opposite of what you said earlier about people who receive huge lump sums of cash wouldn’t go broke.

Here is an example of the Bible being a book of alternate facts.
The Jews were given both the 10 commandments and a description of God’s backside by Moses. The verse also tells us why the Jews only know God by his backside.
Exodus 33 20-23
20 And he said, Thou canst not see my face: for there shall no man see me, and live.
21 And the Lord said, Behold, there is a place by me, and thou shalt stand upon a rock:
22 And it shall come to pass, while my glory passeth by, that I will put thee in a clift of the rock, and will cover thee with my hand while I pass by:
23 And I will take away mine hand, and thou shalt see my back parts: but my face shall not be seen.
This explains why the Jews could not identify Jesus with God even with Jesus standing in front of them.
John 14 7-9
7 If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.
8 Philip saith unto him, Lord, show us the Father, and it sufficeth us.
9 Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Show us the Father?
Because Jesus did not show them his backside and therefore they were unable to compare it to God’s backside.

Seriously, are you a bot? That has nothing to do with what I said.
You said it was not the governments mandate to save pregnancy
Likewise, it’s not the governments job to mandate Kidney donations, nor is it its place to mandate a woman to keep a pregnancy.
Which is the opposite of the governments position on women’s pregnancy.
Why the government is involved in abortion banning?
The movement to end legal abortion has a long, racist history, and like the great replacement theory, it has roots in a similar fear that white people are going to be outnumbered by people believed to hold a lower standing in society. Those anxieties used to be centered primarily around various groups of European immigrants and newly emancipated slaves, but now they’re focused on non-white Americans who, as a group, are on track to numerically outpace non-Hispanic white Americans by 2045, according to U.S. Census projections.
It’s been decades since the anti-abortion movement first gained traction — and the movement has changed in certain ways — but this fundamental fear has never left, as demonstrated by attacks on people of color, such as the shooter in Buffalo, New York, who expressed concern about the declining birth rates of white people. That’s because the anti-abortion movement, at its core, has always been about upholding white supremacy.

Where is ebuc reply to your post #16 where you asked him
No big deal, I was just wondering which Cosmic Trinity you were referring to
Your inquiry was a question. You asked: “I was just wondering which Cosmic Trinity you were referring to”
You didn’t even end your sentence with a period. So the question continued.
Nope, you still aren't understanding what a question is, remember the "?" thing, that should help.
This may surprise you, but not every question requires a question mark. What? It's true. Rhetorical questions are weird, so they live somewhat outside the normal rules. In general, when you ask a rhetorical question, you don't expect an answer.
Several examples of wondering as a question.
Meaning of wondering in English
to ask yourself questions or express a wish to know about something: [ + question word ] Shouldn't you phone home? Your parents will be wondering where you are. He's starting to wonder whether he did the right thing in accepting this job.
What does it mean when someone says just wondering?
