WHO
IS
BANNOUS?
Bannous
is
a
disciple
of
John
the
Baptist
and
the
master
of
Flavius
Josephus;
he
is
mentioned
as
such
in
his
life
(3
lines)
ALLUSION
TO
BANNOUS
IN
THE
GOSPELS
Certain
verses
are
incomprehensible;
among
those,
the
following
one
which
can
be
found
in
Matthew,
3,
8-9
and
Luke,
3,
8:
,
,
.
(Matthew
3,
89)
8
Produce
fruit
in
keeping
with
repentance.
9
And
do
not
think
you
can
say
to
yourselves,
We
have
Abraham
as
our
father.
I
tell
you
that
out
of
these
stones
God
can
raise
up
children
for
Abraham.
,
.
(Luke
3,
8)
8
Produce
fruit
in
keeping
with
repentance.
And
do
not
begin
to
say
to
yourselves,
We
have
Abraham
as
our
father.
For
I
tell
you
that
out
of
these
stones
God
can
raise
up
children
for
Abraham.
(common
translation)
The
problematic
words
are
obviously
these
stones.
These
stones
says
into
Aramaic
abanayya
We
think
that
the
translator
will
have
read
bannay
and
he
will
not
have
understood
it.
He
will
then
have
thought
of
abanay
these
stones.
But
Bannay
is
a
name,
the
name
of
the
master
of
Flavius
Josephus,
Bannous.
Bannous
is
not
a
Jewish
name;
one
can
thus
suppose
that
Bannous
was
a
proselyte.
Only
then
does
the
sentence
make
sense.
8
Produce
fruit
in
keeping
with
repentance.
9
And
do
not
think
you
can
say
to
yourselves,
We
have
Abraham
as
our
father.
I
tell
you
that
out
of
BANNAY
God
can
raise
up
children
for
Abraham.
We
believe
that
in
a
debate
with
the
Pharisees
or
others,
John
the
Baptist
affirms
that
the
descendant
of
the
convert
is
like
the
descendant
of
Abraham.
Today,
it
is
the
opinion
of
the
synagogue.
This
mention
is
tiny,
but
it
completely
changes
what
one
knows
about
the
writing
of
the
Gospels:
Flavius
Josephus
must
have
taken
part
in
their
writing.
OTHER
POSSIBLE
ALLUSION
TO
BANNOUS
IN
THE
GOSPELS
In
Mark
3,
2021
and
3,
3135,
Jesus
family
is
described
as
impious;
This
makes
no
sense.
We
believe
that
this
passage
could
refer
to
Bannous
conversion
to
Judaism,
and
to
his
family
trying
to
stop
him.
What
Jesus
says
is
now
the
profession
of
faith
of
a
convert.
CONCLUSION
I
The
many
problems
in
the
Gospels
lead
us
to
believe
that
they
were
composed
between
130
and
140,
and
that
Jesus
is
a
literary
myth.
But
why?
THE
CHRISTIANS
No
Jesus,
no
Christians.
My
hypothesis
is
that
Christians
are
Judaizing
disciples
of
Philo
of
Alexandria
(Logos
and
bitheism)
who
wanted
to
break
away
from
the
Sanhedrin
of
Yavneh,
because
of
their
loyalty
to
the
Roman
Empire.
Jesus
is
a
simplification
of
the
doctrine
of
the
Logos
of
Philo
of
Alexandria
(Jesus
has
two
natures,
as
the
Logos
has
two
natures;
Jesus
is
the
mediator,
as
the
Logos
is
the
mediator;
Jesus
saves,
as
the
Logos
saves).
Jesus
is
the
Logos
represented
in
the
form
of
a
man
(see
Daniel)
The
Jesus
Christians
believe
in
is
not
the
Jesus
of
the
Gospels.
The
real
reasons
for
the
break-up
between
Jews
and
Christians:
Greek
Judaizing
conversions
are
invalid
in
the
eyes
of
the
Sanhedrin
in
Yavneh
Hellenistic
Judaism
was
probably
patrilineal,
while
the
rabbis
are
matrilineal.
The
Sanhedrin
of
Yavneh
rejected
numerous
people
of
mixed
Judeo-Greek
heritage
as
non-Jews,
whereas
they
were
Jews
for
the
Alexandrian
Judaism.
Tensions
between
Rabban
Gamaliel
and
Eliezer
ben
Hyrcanus
are
probably
allusions
to
tensions
within
the
Sanhedrin
in
relation
to
the
Judaizers
and
Judeo-Greeks.
Those
who
supported
the
break-up
followed
Rabban
Gamaliel
and
those
who
called
for
conciliation
followed
Eliezer
ben
Hyrcanus
Tensions
also
existed
in
the
Greek
world,
but
in
the
other
direction:
the
Paulians
represent
those
who
wanted
to
break
away
from
Yavneh,
the
Nazarenes
or
Petrians
those
who
believed
that
even
in
spite
of
the
break-up
with
Yavneh,
Christians
must
remain
Jews.
Among
Judaizers,
there
also
was
a
trend
calling
for
a
complete
break-up
with
Judaism;
they
were
the
future
Gnostics
and
followers
of
Marcion.
Menahem
cursed
by
Hillel
could
be
an
allusion
to
Josephus
or
to
his
unknown
successor.
The
Theodore
who
tried
to
re-establish
the
sacrificial
cult
in
Rome
is
probably
Josephus,
and
his
sect
is
likely
to
have
developed
into
Christianity.
The
Testament
of
Job
may
have
been
composed
by
Bannous
or
composed
in
his
honour
(Bannous
may
have
been
from
Idumea)
The
Therapeutae,
who
Philo
of
Alexandria
said
are
the
Essenes,
and
therefore
the
Sicarii.
Their
master
Bannous
of
Alexandria
was
probably
sent
by
Agrippa
to
protect
Jewish
communities
in
anticipation
of
the
war
against
the
Romans.
FLAVIUS
JOSEPHUS
AND
THE
ESSENES
Flavius
Josephus
told
many
lies
in
his
works.
He
was
not
a
Pharisee,
but
he
claimed
the
Pharisees
(his
enemies)
were
responsible
for
the
Jewish
war,
thus
exonerating
the
Essenes.
The
Essenes
were
Sadducees
who
left
Temple
service
around
75
BC.
Essenes
and
Sicarii
are
two
names
for
the
same
organization.
Hezekiah,
Judas
of
Galilee,
Sadok,
John
the
Baptist,
Bannous
and
Flavius
Josephus
were
all
Essenes
and
Sicarii,
not
Pharisee
extremists.
Flavius
Josephus
lied
to
his
Roman
audience,
by
saying
that
the
Essenes
were
peaceful
Jewish
Pythagoreans,
killed
by
mistake
by
the
Romans.
The
father
of
Flavius
Josephus
must
have
been
the
high
priest
Mattathias
ben
Theophilos
II;
Mattathias
ben
Theophilos
I
was
thus
his
great-grandfather.
The
ancestors
of
Flavius
Josephus
must
be
the
general
of
Judas
Maccabeus,
named
Mattathias;
his
other
hidden
ancestor
is
probably
Diogenes,
the
executioner
of
the
Pharisees
(the
friend
of
king
Alexander
Jannaeus,
in
his
works
and
in
the
Hymn
of
Self-Glorification).
In
the
works
of
Flavius
Josephus,
all
the
illustrious
men
are
still
priests
(qohanim).
The
names
of
his
ancestors
(in
his
autobiography)
are
false:
Our
patriarch
was
Simon,
who
was
named
Psellus.
(Life)
The
Stutterer
is
not
correct;
the
translator
confused
the
Hebrew
illem
(
)meaning
dumb,
unable
to
speak
and
by
extension
stutterer,
not
attested
in
ancient
Hebrew,
and
the
word
alam
(
)meaning
to
be
strong.
Matthias,
known
as
of
Epheus.
Epheus
is
not
correct;
it
is
probably
an
error
from
Thphlos
(),
i.e.
friends
of
God
(see
Hymn,
the
friends
of
the
king).
Matthias,
surnamed
Curtus.
Curtus,
the
Swollen
(or
Hump-Back),
etc.
is
not
correct;
the
translator
confused
the
Hebrew
given
(),
the
hump-back,
and
the
word
gibor
(),
the
strong
one
or
the
mighty
one.
In
Jewish
Antiquities
13,
9,
2,
he
mentions
Simon,
son
of
Dositheus,
who
was
sent
on
a
mission
to
Rome;
this
must
be
Simon
haalam
(Fort).
Dositheus
is
the
Greek
translation
of
Mathithiyah.
He
was
probably
the
general
of
Judas
Maccabee.
(2
Maccabees,
12,
1526)
In
Jewish
Antiquities
17,
6,
4,
he
mentions
the
dream
that
caused
a
pollutio
nocturna,
which
prevented
high
priest
Mattathias
ben
Theophilos
the
Elder
to
worship
one
day.
He
was
replaced
by
one
of
his
family,
Joseph
son
of
Ellemos.
Ellemos
has
no
meaning.
We
think
it
is
a
transcription
Alam
(Strong),
the
nickname
in
use
in
his
family.
Joseph
son
of
Ellemos
must
be
the
grandfather
of
Flavius
Josephus.
Diogenos
is
probably
a
false
name
for
Mathathias
or
Josephus
HOW
CAN
WE
UNDERSTAND
THE
GOSPELS?
The
Gospels
include
several
parts:
A
life
of
Bannous
was
recycled
into
a
life
of
Jesus
(including
some
episodes:
The
Sermon
on
the
Mountain;
The
Curse
of
the
Pharisees;
The
eschatological
discourse,
etc.;
The
resurrection
of
the
daughter
/
son
of
Jairus
(Eleazar
the
Sicarius);
The
exorcism
of
Legion;
The
Simon
announcing
the
destiny
of
Jesus
in
Luke
probably
should
match
the
Essene
Simon
mentioned
in
the
works
of
Flavius
Josephus;
The
quest
for
disciples
by
Jesus
in
Galilee
could
match
the
quest
for
disciples
by
Bannous
to
escape
John
the
Baptist;
The
life
of
Bannous
written
by
Josephus
must
have
contained
speeches,
overly
warlike
aspects
of
Bannous
were
avoided
by
Flavius
Josephus
to
conceal
his
revolutionary
tendencies.
The
mysterious
man
whom
John
the
Baptist
feels
unworthy
of
is
Herod
Agrippa
I.
We
say
this
because
of
the
similarity
between
the
dove
descending
on
Jesus
and
the
owl
alighting
on
the
head
of
Herod
Agrippa
during
his
imprisonment
in
Rome.
We
believe
that
Herod
Agrippa
I
was
murdered
by
Rome
for
his
military
preparations
against
Rome.
Flavius
Josephus
could
not
defend
him
in
his
official
works.
Most
of
the
miracles
by
Jesus
are
performed
on
the
Sabbath,
so
they
do
not
come
from
Flavius
Josephus,
but
from
Christians
who
wanted
to
suppress
the
Sabbath.
The
sentences
said
by
Jesus
could
come
from
a
book
found
by
Hermas
(Rev.
8:
1-3)
and
given
to
Clement
of
Rome.
They
may
be
the
logia
translated
by
Papias
of
Hierapolis.
Jesus
parables
present
similarities
with
the
parables
of
Hermas
(The
Shepherd);
these
parables
were
composed
by
Hermas,
and
recycled
in
Jesus
parables.
Jesus
discourse
in
the
Gospel
of
John
presents
similarities
with
the
Instructions
on
the
Two
Spirits
found
at
Qumran
(Jesus
=
the
spirit
of
truth
and
Satan
=
the
spirit
of
perversion)
Jesus
conviction
relates
to
the
narrative
of
Flavius
Josephus
on
the
destruction
of
the
Temple
(Pontius
Pilate
wants
to
save
Jesus
as
Titus
wants
to
save
the
Temple.
Jesus
will
be
killed
despite
Pontius
Pilate
as
the
Temple
will
be
destroyed
despite
Titus).
The
claim
that
the
Jews
killed
Jesus
(or
are
responsible
for
his
death)
aims
to
exonerate
Titus
from
the
destruction
of
the
Temple
(in
the
Talmud,
referring
to
the
conflict
between
Yavneh
and
Greek
Judaizers
who
are
accused
of
having
abandoned
Jerusalem
to
the
fury
of
the
Roman
Legions).
The
intervention
of
Pilates
wife
to
save
Jesus
is
an
allusion
to
Berenice
of
Judaea,
who
was
the
mistress
of
the
Emperor
Titus
and
who
certainly
intervened
to
save
the
Temple.
The
Eucharist,
the
multiplication
of
the
bread
and
the
transformation
of
water
into
wine,
and
the
Logos
that
manifests
as
life
and
light
are
allusions
to
the
Hermetic
Teachings
of
Alexandria.
This
helps
explain
the
similarities
between
the
Gospels
and
the
Corpus
Hermeticum.
(The
nine
charisms
are
another
allusion
to
Hermeticism:
the
seven
planets,
the
ogdoad
and
the
ennead
which
is
attainment).
The
prologue
to
John's
gospel
(1,
15
and
1,
10,
11)
are
hermetic:
manifestation
of
the
LOGOS
as
LIFE
and
as
LIGHT
(see
Corpus
Hermeticum
I
9,
12
and
17)
The
need
to
believe
in
Jesus
could
come
from
Simon
Magus;
episodes
on
the
adulterous
woman
and
the
prostitute
in
the
house
of
the
Pharisee
are
allusions
to
Helen
of
Tyre,
the
wife
of
Simon
Magus.
The
successful
resurrection
of
Jesus
is
to
combat
the
failed
resurrection
of
Simon
Magus,
but
that
his
disciples
could
present
as
successful.
The
claim
that
Jesus
descended
from
King
David
aims
at
fighting
the
Rabbis
of
Yavneh
who
claimed
descent
from
King
David.
The
claim
that
Jesus
is
the
Messiah
is
to
prevent
people
from
following
other
false
messiahs
like
Simon
Bar
Kochba.
Several
passages
in
the
Gospels
and
the
Acts
of
the
Apostles
aim
to
ridicule
or
belittle
Peter
(Bannous)
and
John
the
Baptist
while
exalting
Jesus.
Some
of
Jesus
miracles
were
also
performed
by
Emperor
Vespasian
(To
compare
Suetonius
The
twelve
caesars
7
and
Tacitus,
Histories,
Book
4,
81;
with
Mark
8,
22
27
/
3,
16
/
2,
112,
Matthew
9,
2731
and
9,
18;
Luke
5,
1726
and
John
9,
141.)
The
anointing
of
Bethany
is
similar
at
chapter
111112
of
Satyricon
by
Petronius,
etc.
CONCLUSION
Jesus
did
not
exist
as
he
is
a
theological
concept
represented
in
human
form.
If
Jesus
existed,
the
Gospels
do
not
tell
his
life.
His
life
and
his
speeches
are
from
Bannous,
his
parables
from
Hermas,
his
logia
from
the
Essenes,
his
death
refers
to
the
destruction
of
the
Temple,
his
resurrection
alludes
to
Henoch,
etc.
Christianity
must
be
defined
as
a
neo-Judaism
which
abolished
the
commandments
that
the
Greeks
did
not
like
(Sabbath,
circumcision,
kashrut,
etc.)
and
which
is
faithful
to
the
Roman
Empire.
The
primitive
tendencies
that
were
used
to
create
Christianity
are:
1 The
Logos
worship
that
comes
from
the
philosophy
of
Philo
of
Alexandria;
2 Fear
of
Gnosticism
and
especially
of
the
teachings
of
Simon
Magus;
3 Hermeticist
Jews
or
the
primitive
Sethian
Gnosis
(we
think
they
did
not
long
remain
Christian
and
eventually
returned
to
Judaism;
the
Merkabah
meditations
must
be
attributed
to
their
successors);
4 Romans
essenians
with
Flavius
Josephus
and
Hermas;
5 Note
that
in
the
Gospels,
we
feel
a
tension
between
Philonians
who
believe
in
the
FATHER
and
the
LOGOS
and
Essenes
who
believe
in
the
FATHER
and
the
HOLY
SPIRIT.
This
tension
was
solved
when
the
dogma
of
the
Trinity
was
established,
after
170.
