Ancient Bowl Engraved "Christ the Magician" Discovered

Jesusbowl324x205_2 A team of scientists led by renowned French marine archaeologist Franck Goddio recently announced that they have found a bowl, dating to between the late 2nd century B.C. and the early 1st century A.D., that is engraved with what they believe could be the world's first known reference to Christ, providing evidence that Christianity and paganism at times intertwined in the ancient world.




The full engraving on the bowl reads, "DIA CHRSTOU O GOISTAIS," which has been interpreted by the excavation team to mean either, "by Christ the magician" or, "the magician by Christ."

This article states
"providing evidence that Christianity and paganism at times intertwined in the ancient world."
AT TIMES? Try ALWAYS. There is no separation, and there never was. It's only modernists that have been trying to move away from the two being a synonymous.
Uh, where was this supposedly found? And when?

Well, imagine if Jesus was just a magician... with a few very good tricks... and everything was a great big misunderstanding.

That would be some irony of life.

All those lost lifes, crusades, bloodsheds, in vain.

"Any sufficiently advanced technology can be confused as magic".....true quote from someone

Christ wasn't doing parlor tricks, but his understanding of this reality surpassed ours in a big way.
