The gist of the Roman recension formation of the "Jesus" character (see: god character equivalences), namely a god reduction synretism of main attributes of the Egyptian gods Osiris and Horus into the form of a god man who, after being conceived immaculately (see: virgin birth), baptized by a "John" (see: John the Baptist) or Anubis, dies horribly, i.e. is whipped or cut into 14 pieces (number of stars in Orion constellation), like Osiris was, and is resurrected (see: death and resurrection of Osiris; death and resurrection of Jesus), i.e. rises like the Orion constellation does, from the horizontal position, visually in the sky (in Nov-Dec), like a reborn pharaoh. |
“Volney has shown that Yes was one of the names of Bacchus, which, with the Latin termination, is nothing else than Yesus, or Jesus.”— Robert Taylor (1829), The Diegesis (pg. 186)
“I have dictated thirty pages on the world’s three religions; and I have read the Bible. My own mind is made up. I do not think Jesus Christ ever existed.”

“In my personal experience, it’s easier to find and atheist practicing the teachings of Jesus than a Christian.”— Phillip Slater (2011), “Is Religion Inherently Homicidal?”, May 25 (Ѻ)(Ѻ)
“The original Hebrew-Aramaic name of Jesus is yeshu‘a, which is short for yehōshu‘a (Joshua) [compare: Joshua 10:13], just as Mike is short for Michael. The name yeshu‘a occurs 27 times in the Hebrew Scriptures, primarily referring to the high priest after the Babylonian exile, called both yehōshu‘a (see, e.g., Zechariah 3:3) and, more frequently, yeshu‘a (see, e.g., Ezra 3:2). So, Yeshua’s name was not unusual; in fact, as many as five different men had that name in the Old Testament. And this is how that name came to be “Jesus” in English: Simply stated, this is the etymological history of the name Jesus: Hebrew/Aramaic yeshu‘a became Greek Iēsous, then Latin Iesus, passing into German and then, ultimately, into English, as Jesus.”— Michael Brown (2013), “What is the Original Hebrew Name for Jesus?” (Ѻ)
