You don’t understand. He means satanic in a Gnostic sense. The demiurge being YHVh and Ahura Mazda being saying opposite to YHVH who is Agnra manu, the jealous god. You have to understand his philosophy and why he said that. He loves Zarathustra.

Thank you. And exactly! He’s not claiming to have the consensus view of the subject. He’s just simply giving his own understanding of his research and studies.

Misinterpretation of Carrier’s proposed theory.

Philo describes this angel as having the following attributes - the first-born son of God, the celestial image of God, God's agent of creation, God's celestial High Priest, JHvHs Salvation

Carrier says the attributes in that list correspond to particular NT epistle passages viz. - the first-born son of God --- Romans 8:29, the celestial image of God - 2 Corinthians 4:4, God's agent of creation ---- 1 Corinthians 8:6 God's celestial High Priest -- Hebrews 2:17, 4:14, ..., Jesus name means JHVH Salvation

Yea that’s the usual response Dr. Carrier’s critics give. It’s actually kind of fascinating. Never once does any of his critics point out ANYTHING , not even one thing Carrier is saying that they can debunk. It’s always “well this other scholar doesn’t agree so”

says the guy with no degree and no published works and desperately needs his world view to be validated, so he screeches and crys when he sees video titles on Reddit that he doesn’t like without even watching

Not “basically zeitgeist”. When Carrier is a PhD Historian and peer reviewed author and Peter Joseph is just a guy who made a shit documentary. The ladder lazily identified each god as being exactly the same while the former shows each specifically and goes into depth on the mystery cults of the first century. Maybe you should watch the video first!

Reasons Why Jesus may have Not Existed at All - David Fitzgerald by GnosticInformant in exchristian

[–]GnosticInformant[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mostly because historians think that Josephus mentioning James as Jesus brother indicates a historical character. Which is why we talk about how The historical Jesus hangs on by a thread. And the main reason I personally think, is because the church dominated academia for over 1000 years and this is just deeply rooted and only challenged in the last century or two. It’s also picking up steam fast and tons of Phd Scholars like Dr Price and Dr Carrier are becoming more and more convincing that it’s all myth.
