All These AI Asterisks Are A Pathetic Joke. Fix This Sh it. WTF

I would expect someone like yourself to know that the name Jesus is a Greek translation (the original gospels were written in Greek) of the Lord’s Hebrew name — Yeshua.

It's widely known that Iesous was the Greek translation (not Jesus). And that was the first case of a drastic name change of the character. What's not widely known though is that Iesous was then changed to Jesus after the letter J had been invented only 400 years ago. King James then spread this new name for the mythical character in his new Anglicized version of the bible. So today we have people referring to "Jesus", while not realizing that the name was only invented a few hundred years ago.

Quick hypothetical: if we imagine there was a real Yeshua who existed thousands of years ago, and someone today was able to travel back to his time, he wouldn't even respond to the name Jesus. He'd have no idea who Jesus is. It's a little too far removed from the original name of the character.

You’re reading too much into it, and unnecessarily confusing the matter. The name Jesus is synonymous with Yeshua. It’s like anglicizing a name like Jose into Joseph, or Pietro into Peter. The writers of the gospels were writing in Greek, therefore they changed the Lord’s name to fit the language they were communicating in. The scribes translating from Greek to English made similar adjustments to suit their readers. None of it is here nor there to me. As I said earlier, I once subscribed to your general way of thinking; but even then, I would’ve drawn the same observations I just made. I’d really rather just drop the discussion here. No point.

Yep people made adjustments to suit their readers. Just like they made adjustments from the earlier Krishna stories to suit their readers, which is essentially how Christianity materialized. It reminds me sometimes of when older movies get Hollywood remakes. Or foreign movies get an English language remake where the story might be largely different on the surface, but the core themes remain very similar. It's just surprising sometimes that people cling on to these myths even in today's modern world. Religions were invented so easily and so often by humans that we've amassed thousands of gods by now. "Cargo Cults" is another fascinating insight into how easily religions come about. Alright bro, i can respect if you prefer to leave the discussion, fair enough.

Please, don't tempt the AI
It loves to give out "inappropriate" bans

Admin robots are taking over let's face it.

Yes but they are referencing a txt file of words that a person must have put together, its ridiculous what they censor in here.

I think the deeper similarities to Krishna are due to temporal proximity. The two myths were separated by around 1000 years or so. While Krishna's name has remained the same for thousands of years, what's slightly stranger about the Jesus myth, but rarely discussed, is that the name Jesus is only around 400 years old, because the letter J was invented in the year 1524. So if the character had been a real historical figure, he wouldn't even respond to the name "Jesus", since this name was only introduced in the King James bible less than 400 hundred years ago. Today's believers worship a main character who had a fairly recent name-change, as the name Jesus was popularized across the English-speaking world by a British king's bible rewrite.AI restrictions and limitations are becoming a complete joke. Every time we try to use AI for something useful, we run into unnecessary barriers. Companies claim they want AI to help, but then cripple it with ridiculous safeguards. If AI is supposed to revolutionize learning and work, why does it feel like we're constantly fighting against it? Just look at this comparison of AI-powered learning platforms: https://ddi-dev.com/blog/programming...ing-platforms/ ai should be a tool for progress, not a bureaucratic nightmare. Fix this nonsense!

Some of the similarities to the Krishna myth are pretty fascinating..

* Both Krishna and Jesus were from royal descent.
* Both were born with some form of divine intervention.
* As kids, Krishna and Jesus both hid from evil rulers who wanted to kill all new born males. Krishna hid from Prince Kansa. Jesus hid from King Herod.
* Both had to make a great escape, Krishna had to cross a river (as did Moses), Jesus had to flee to Egypt.
* Again similar to Moses, when Krishna crossed the river, the waters parted to allow easy passage. In the later Moses story, the seas parted for easy passage.. (cross-references within the religions where selective sections from the earlier Krishna myth are later modified and shared between the Moses and Jesus characters in the Bible)
* Both Jesus and Krishna were called "lord" and "savior" in their lifetime.
* Both experienced transfiguration, and their bodies shone light.
* Both performed miracles and healing.
* Krishna cured a hunchback woman, Jesus cured lepers.
* Both brought people back to life.
* Both had to fight demons.
* Both have very similar names, Krishna - Christ. The word Krishna may have roots in the Sanskrit word Krsta, which means Supreme Being or Pure.
* Both died by sharp weapons near wood. Krishna died near a tree, by an arrow to the heel (his only weak spot, like the Achilles story), Jesus died by crucifixion on a wooden cross.
* etc..
