McClellan’s explanation of chistos-anointing is childish in the extreme. Look, a king is anointed at his coronation. King Charles was anointed with oil last year. The oil came from Jerusalem, so he was anointed as King and Christ. Just as Mary Magdalene anointed Jesus at the House of Simon (Boethus). Yes, Charlie-boy is King Charles the Christ, just as Jesus was a real monarch called King Jesus the Christ. See my books “The King Jesus Trilogy” Ralph

He's giving us the actual info.. it's really up to you or i to decide what we believe to be true if that even matters in the end.

[@ExperienceFamilyGodEducation]

correct. ❤ No hate, just different opinions. Ammon has gone deeper into the studies of greek. Dan has merged hebrew with greek. The importance has to be taken from what John the Baptist was speaking and what John the Baptist meant when he told Jeshua before He went to those 40 days in the desert that He is the Hristos. From my knowledge this is the point in history when Jeshua was referred to for the first time as Hristos. Hristos was a title. This is what John meant: he is THE ONE, like Morpheus told Neo = the anointed one. John the Baptist gave Jeshua a title. That means that both are right, but, in different contexts. What is curious is that only the priests were anointed to be in touch with the divinity in that time, and only by giving Jeshua this title brought the attention of the Hebrew priests. Practically Jeshua from Nazareth was judged by the community for being called Hristos. Back in the day it was blasphemy, as only the priests could do, through rituals, through applying drugs to virgins to get to be stung by the gadfly so their eyes could be open. Later on, after the use of that drug, the virgins, through rituals would become oracles. It could not be something natural - just by pure nature. This brought curiosity and attention upon Jeshua. John the Baptist knew this and this action only brought them both, in the end their death.

[@robschaller9061]

@@ExperienceFamilyGodEducation The Hebrew texts that have been found and translated are NOT translations. John makes it CRYSTAL CLEAR that Yeshua IS THE CREATOR in the Hebrew gospel of John which again IS NOT a translation from the Greek to Hebrew.

This would be a liquid. The christ and anti-christ are the same, except an ointment or paste or salve (salvation) applied to the body. The presciption/ritual involved in those medicines was known as the gospel. The purple christ was applied to the eyes/face. It was a ritual where you would trip balls and if the anti christ was not taken in time, you would die. When the antichrist is taken death is halted and you are born again. The antichrist was applied to a cloth which was then wrapped around a young boys waste. It was sucked off the cloth.

First off, the 4 Gospels, Jude, James, and the book of Revelation were originally written in HEBREW. Manuscripts have been found that make it absolutely clear, that they are original documents and NOT a translation. Do not misunderstand what I am saying. When I say Original documents, I am NOT saying that they are the ones penned by the original writers (Matthew, Luke, John, mark etc) but rather they are copies of older scrolls that were originally written in Hebrew. Right about now someone is typing furiously about how academia says that they were written in greek, possibly Aramaic. There are Keys that tell you that these are NOT translations from either Greek or Aramaic. Hebrew is a language that has liberal use of word play. It is common for words that are spelled similarly but have different means to be a part of the way they expressed their thoughts and ideas. If you are translating from another language to Hebrew, you LOSE that word play. It is a KEY idenifyer for determining if you are reading a translation or a copy of a text that was penned originally in Hebrew. There is no question that the prevalence of written hewbrew was FAR more common than originally thought as the dead sea scrolls prove that during the 1st century the population spoke and wrote in Hebrew as well as Greek and Aramaic.

[@ProLookout]

Folks, remember context is a very hard thing to know especially for ancient texts/stories. The context everyone nowadays is using, is just a consensus, something they "think" is the context. These are all just guesses, understand that anyone can be right, including crazy ol' Dr. Ammon. Be rationally open-minded and stay away from dogma, it inhibits real progression.

We've been here for over 50,000 years. The Abrahamic religions are very new in that time line. All 3 are if you are not with us, and if you say anything against us, you die. For hundreds of years. It's the foundation for never ending war on earth. If you leave the 66 and research where Jesus studied from 12 to 33 it gives you a better idea of what he must likely taught. Did ye not see in the text that ye are gods.

Isho the healer (Aramaic), Iesous (Koine Greek), Pati (Sanskrit) is successful at achieving Khristos. The ancienne attempt to bring about Osho or Khristos first referenced in Sanskrit and Cuneiform. Rule one in translation do not translate a name. If the name is translated question what you are reading.

[@RalphEllis]

McClellan’s explanation of chistos-anointing is childish in the extreme. Look, a king is anointed at his coronation. King Charles was anointed with oil last year. The oil came from Jerusalem, so he was anointed as King and Christ. Just as Mary Magdalene anointed Jesus at the House of Simon (Boethus). Yes, Charlie-boy is King Charles the Christ, just as Jesus was a real monarch called King Jesus the Christ. Ralph

AMMON MAY COME OFF DIFFERENT. BUT HE SEEMS LEGIT. IT'S HARD TO TURN HIM OFF WHEN YOU HAVE OTHERS SAYING WHAT HE'S SAYING TO A DEGREE

[@austin6174]

Also, what other word would have been better used in greek to describe the verb “anointing”? Christ seems to fit perfectly. I.e. Jesus is the balm to sin and anointed like the kings of old. Makes perfect sense why this word was used.

[@realherbalism1017]

Your example at 10:24 simply proved your guest's point. Euripides was plainly asking if it was an ointment or a consumable. An ointment is a topical application of something and only the specific context can you determine what the topical application is. For example if I apply a fragrant oil to my skin I have anointed myself. If I apply axel grease to an axel to decrease friction I have anointed it. If I apply a healing salve to my dog's wound, I have anointed the wound. In all three cases the substance used was different but the physical act of application was the same. As a further example, I am an herbalist and I make medicinal ointments but ointments need not be medicinal as I pointed out above. You lost the debate my friend and in the process I'm sorry to say you looked ignorant.

He's a former professor of classics and one of the most highly regarded greek scholars of this age. If you think he's a nobody then your in for a rude awakening. All the truth is going to come out and we shall see what is left standing.

[@linktv7979]

​@BLG80 he fails at connecting the dots. His whole argument lands on the term being used for something else therefore it cant be anything else instead of word evolution. Its like saying homosexuals are all pedophiles because the term means a older man grooming a little boy. Eat the fish and spit out the bones for ammon ive seen him hiss twice for a split second while listening to other speak in a few intros. Ive watched half his videos he know whats he talking about in terms of classisics and older religion but he has failed to get me to leave gnosticism. Dont blindly believe anybody put the pieces together instead of having somebody build it for you. Hes teaching greek now so you can find out for yourself and thats what i plan to do and so should you.

[@BLG80]

@@linktv7979 I get that could be the case, emphasis on could be. In Christianity they eat the body of god and drink the blood a theophagy, that is a greek cultic act and may well inform how we should see the gospels in context, we know already that reading the gospels and trying to force a rabbinic Judaism context doesn't work, Because it's anachronistic. Jesus is a magician, doing miracles and sermons and it ends in a theophagy. It's totally Greco roman cult stuff. Even Nazareth the archeology their all orphic mystery mosaics everywhere, no Hebrew or old testament stuff anywhere. Even when he (jesus) quotes from the old testament a number of them verses are absent in older manuscripts, and the ones we have are kind of late anyway, so even that is in doubt. It's a giant mess and Dr Hillman's ideas are not that far fetched. This is a cult that actually thinks they eat the body of Jesus.
