”king of everyone”

”they didn’t think he was theirs”

At least learn English before being assigned to an English-speaking website.

Related note. The skulls of the 3 wise men are kept in a gold container shaped like a house in the Koln (Cologne) Cathedral, Germany.

Yea, I saw that flick, "Harrison Ford " was in it.

'Wise men' is not a very good translation. They were sorcerers.

The author of Matthew was trying to validate the gospel of Jesus by legitimizing it within the tradition of astrology.

We can infer a few things from this (probably):

1. astrological traditions, especially those of the Persians, were religiously respected, even among jews, at the time this gospel was authored

2. the author of Matthew was probably trying to claim that Jesus was the fulfillment not only of their tradition, but all the others

3. there was syncretism afoot: probably the pagan traditions already featured a nativity story surrounding the winter solstice in which the Invincible God is born, and the author of Matthew wanted to make that kind of claim about Jesus (especially since there would have been competitors like Mithras-Sol Invictus around)

Nice comment. Lots of syncretism from zoroastrianism and probably greek traditions too. Zoroaster was supposedly born by a virgin.

ty

That's a new one for me about Zoroaster. I nod to Persian influence a lot, but my knowledge of Zoroastrianism is wanting. I know 'the basics.'

I know they had a strong “good vs evil” dichotomy which had a strong influence on second temple judaism. Im just repeating shit Ive heard. Earlier yahwism was more “might is right” imo

they among others were scouts recruited by herrod to find Christ. the gifts were the ruse.

I'm pretty sure you haven't read the Bible.
That's the opposite of what happened.

Why did they come to worship him?

[ - ] Master_Foo [op] -1 points 2 monthsDec 29, 2025 10:54:26 ago (+1/-2)

I know, right?
ProTip: Everything in the Bible is retarded.

Yet, you believe the parts that you feel make your point.

[ - ] Master_Foo [op] -1 points 2 monthsDec 29, 2025 12:16:19 ago (+0/-1)

I don't believe any of it.
I'm just pointing out what is in your holy book.

[ - ] FreeinTX 0 points 2 monthsDec 29, 2025 12:55:56 ago (+0/-0)

Actually, you're simply demonstrating autistic retardism and jewy tiered hatred for Christians.

[ - ] Master_Foo [op] -1 points 2 monthsDec 29, 2025 15:20:21 ago (+0/-1)

Regardless, you don't want to address the issue at hand, because no matter how retarded I am, nothing approaches the retardedness of the Bible.

[ - ] FreeinTX 0 points 2 monthsDec 29, 2025 15:29:02 ago (+0/-0)

You didn't address my response, either.

Why did the 3 maji show up to worship the God child if the God child wasn't their God?

[ - ] Master_Foo [op] 0 points 2 monthsDec 29, 2025 15:36:51 ago (+0/-0)

I don't know.
Sounds like treason to me.

Obey God rather than man.

We don't need to obey Foreign-Jewish-Gods.

Legitimate question for christcucks...

I stopped reading. Nothing advertises your lack of legitimacy than a basic disrespect for the audience 4 words in.

ProTip: Cucks like being cucks.
This isn't an insult for them.

It's like calling a train hobbiest a train hobbiest.
They don't mind being called what they enjoy doing.

Why are you still talking?

[ - ] Tallest_Skil 3 points 2 monthsDec 29, 2025 11:17:35 ago (+3/-0)

It’ll be fired if it stops replying.
