A blog for history, genealogy, research, and whatever else is on my mind!
As surprising and controversial as that claim may be, given what little information we have about when Yehoshua ha'Mashiach (Jesus the Messiah, also known as the Christ) was born, December - possibly (but not necessarily) the 25th - is a completely legitimate candidate for the time His birth. The favourite alternative to December 25th is … Continue reading Jesus May Have Been Born in December After All
A companion video to my post Good Friday, in which I explain why we're celebrating Yehoshua/Jesus' crucifixion on the wrong day of the week. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qba9-BlraBI&feature=youtu.be (Note that I still get a little nervous in front of the camera, which resulted in my mind going blank a couple times.)
G'day everyone! Today I present my Restored English Translation (RET) of the 5th chapter of the Besorot Matityahu, commonly known in English as the Gospel of Matthew.

This translation is primarily based on the original Hebrew, and so will sometimes differ from … Continue reading Restored English Translation of Matthew: Chapter 5

The typical candidate for Jesus' alleged wife is Mary Magdalene. Some view such claims as blasphemous … Continue reading Was Jesus Married?
We're all at least partly familiar with the story of the death and resurrection of Yehoshua ha'Mashiach (Jesus the Christ). It occurred around 30 AD (give or take a few years; I used to believe it was 28 AD, but after the discovery of 29AD coins imprinted in the image on the Turin Shroud, I … Continue reading The Empty Tomb (and Other Evidence for Jesus’ Death & Resurrection)
Today is Good Friday - in Australia, at least; it's still the day before in some parts of the world. Today, many Christians celebrate and remember Yehoshua ha'Mashiach/Jesus the Christ's death by crucifixion on a Friday, and His resurrection 3 days later on a Sunday. BUT - it's all a myth. No, Yeshua's crucifixion and … Continue reading Good Friday
