it is not at all clear to me that the ESSENES were FIGHTING actively in their HEYDAY-----they were
MONASTIC PEOPLE------waiting ........ The Sacarii were an unrelated group------not monastic
They fought Romans. Zealots.
you are very confused. People who rejected the filth and stink of ROME were not CONSTANTLY
swinging swords or daggers--------just about the WHOLE country rejected the roman stink but just
went about their business------SOME who rejected the roman stench retreated to remote places--both
North and South-----and developed something like ashrams. The essenes were such a group
Why do you want the Christians to worship a jew so bad. Essense= zealots. The Romans never asked for much , just peace and taxes. The Jews rebelled and interrupted trade routes. The Romans accepted all religions at first and even embraced them, but the Roman zealots would not have it.
It is the Christians who WANT TO WORSHIP A JEW------and have for almost 2000 years.
I am not at all surprised that you worship a people who fed men women and children
to lions--------and enslaved even the Greeks whom, they themselves, recognized as their
superiors and whose form of slavery was so barbaric that KILLING slaves for sport was
entirely acceptable and endorsed by their "gods" -------it is SO YOU-----ethics from
your catechism whore
No they didn't. I guess Josephus enjoyed be a freedman. Just Jewish propaganda. They didn't enslave the Greeks, where are you getting this from.
they didn't what? Josephus seems to have enjoyed writing jewish history----he was later edited
a bit ----his stuff fell into the hands of the VESTAL WHORES
