Historical Records of Jesus At the time of Jesus Christ, there were many writers who were recording the events of the time. One of these writers is named Philo, who was quite well known. Philo lived during the time of Jesus in Jerusalem, from 20 BCE to 50 CE. Philo was there when Christ made his triumphal entry into Jerusalem. Philo was living right there when Christ was crucified. He was in town when the earthquake, supernatural darkness, and resurrection of the dead took place. Philo was there when Christ himself rose from the dead and, in the presence of many witnesses, ascended into heaven. Then there was Josephus, the renowned Jewish historian and native of Judea born in 37 AD, thus making him a contemporary of the Apostles. Everyone knew who Josephus was. He served as Governor of Galilee, which was the province in which Christ lived and taught. Josephus knew and had traveled throughout every part of Galilee, the very same place where Christ had performed his prodigies just a few years back. In fact, Josephus lived in Cana, which is the very city in which Christ is said to have wrought his first famous and renowned miracle. In his writings, Josephus takes great pains to mention every possible important and non-important event as his work is extensive, comprising twenty books. He dedicates whole pages to petty robbers and cult leaders. The life of a single King took up forty chapters. As a matter of fact, there is an extensive list of writers living in the same place and time as Christ is said to have lived, and none of them mention anything about him. In fact, the four Gospels we are so familiar with were completely unknown to the early Christian Fathers. Take Justin Martyr as an example. He wrote in the middle of the second century and was one of the most eminent Fathers of Jesus and the Christian movement of his time. He wrote of the divinity of Christ. One would think he would prefer to quote from the Gospels to support his position. He quotes books from the Old Testament nearly 300 times. He quotes from the Apocryphal books around 100 times. And so what about the Gospel writers? Who were they? Who wrote the story of Jesus Christ (even though it is an ancient and repeated story for the past FIVE THOUSAND YEARS)?!?!?!? The answer: Lucius Calpurnius Piso Lucius created the fictional characters of the New Testament: Jesus, his parents, Mary Magdalene, the apostles and disciples, Paul, John the Baptist, and tied them together with a slew of real people (King Herod, Pilot, etc) in a specific point in time and place in history. He used ancient stories and the writings and characteristics of various Pagan gods to create the story line of his birth, life, death, and resurrection. Lucius was married to the great granddaughter of Herod the Great. He produced his ‘Ur Marcus’ in 60 AD, which was the forerunner of the Gospel of Mark. His son, Arius, went on to rewrite it, and also wrote Matthew and with the help of the Roman writer Pliny the Younger, wrote Luke. Arius’s son, Justus, then wrote John in 105.Julius Calpurnius Piso (one of his sons) who wrote The Revelations near the end of the reign of the Roman Emperor Hadrian. The Piso family descended from Philip II of Macedon (359-336 BCE). King Philip was the father of two sons - Alexander the Great and Lagos (the Rabbit). The Piso line descends from Lagos down through the many Ptolemys (kings of Egypt) to include Cleopatra. In their day they were well known, as many great writers mentioned them. They were members of the closed society of Zoroastrianism, and priests of the temple at Zela in the homeland of Pontus on the southern coast of the Black Sea. The Piso family was betrayed by Julius Caesar in many ways. This is important to know, because much of the early history of Christianity is based on revenge taken by the Piso family against Julius Caesar. The major form taken by that revenge was to replace Caesar as head of the Roman state religion. The Pisos had many reasons to hate Julius Caesar. He had made war against their homeland. He had betrayed his wife Calpurnia, who was a Piso, with another Piso relative: Cleopatra. He had conspired with the Jewish People against Alexandria, which was another Piso stronghold. He had written the Pisos out of his will. In addition to all this, he was a Populist and was against the Royals, who suspected that if he were to become dictator he might even abolish slavery. The Piso family were Royals. Sixty percent of the people in the Roman Empire were slaves. So, in 66 CE, Arius Piso waged war against Jerusalem and defeated the Jewish People. He tore down the temple there with the help of a Piso relative named Titus in 70 CE, just as Caesar had torn down the temple at Zela. To commemorate his victory and to create a religion to keep the slaves humble, he and his family authored the New Testament, cleverly inventing a Jesus Christ (with the same initials as Julius Caesar oddly enough) who would replace Caesar as the head of what was to become the new state religion of Rome: Christianity.

While Saint Nicholas (left) was a real person (he lived in the early 300s AD), Santa Claus (right) is an invention of the Coca Cola Company. Corporations love Christmas and help to force it on the psyche of our culture to make big profits on an ancient lie.
