>>It is even thought by some that "Barrabas" may have had the full name of "Yeshua bar Abbas" or Jesus Barrabas -- a revolt by a person of that name was recorded by the Romans.<<

Maybe that was the real gospelic Jesus--a criminal. No wonder they cloaked him so much myth that we can't find the real man. After all Barabbas is Aramaic for "son of the father." Jesus Son of the Father. Sound familiar? Didn't Josephus make reference to a Jesus that led a band or "mariners and poor people" in Galilee who took to robbing people and vandalizing public buildings?

Funny how Christians can cite all these Jesus references in Josephus and conveniently forget to mention this one.
