Deception 9: The “Palestinian-Jesus” Deception.
Peloni: Here is the 9th installment of Joseph Shellim’s 12 Deceptions, an excerpt from his important work, “Philistine-To-Palestine”. We are posting one Deception each week, and links to the previous installments can be found at the bottom.
The underlying agenda of a ‘First Century Palestine’ that is manipulated away from Judea and Israel is testified by numerous historical scholars.
- “There is a propaganda war going on now with regard to the term “Palestine”. It is specifically employed to avoid the use of the name Israel, and must be considered an anti-Israel term.” – (Thomas S. McCall, Th.M. in Old Testament studies.)
Jesus was born in Judea, which was not an Arab country 2,000 years ago in the first century. Judea was invaded by the Roman Empire and encountered a war with the Jews. There was no Palestine country or Palestinian people in the First Century. A Palestinian Jesus is a historical impossibility. The name Palestine was applied to Judea 100 years after Jesus of Nazareth was killed, namely this name was placed on Judea in the Second Century, in the year 135 AD/CE by the Roman Emperor Hadrian. In the First Century no country was called as Palestine and no people were called as Palestinian. Rome printed 1,000s of coins with “Judea Capta” – none that said “Palestina Capta.”
