Son of God

Caesar and Jesus were both called Savior and Son of God. Caesar was also called the Father or the Patronus, Our Father of the people but Jesus said call no man on earth Father. All the members of the Roman Senate were also called the conscripti Patri or Conscripted Fathers. The difference in their methods that distinguished them. One operated by faith, hope, and charity and the other operated by force, fear , and fealty. The means and the outcomes were at the core of the Christian conflict with Rome and the conflict today with the Doctrines of Jesus and the Modern Christians.

Caesar the Son of God

The deification of Roman emperors makes more sense when we understand these terms in the light of a social and political hierarchy. The social bonds necessary for a viable republic were in sever decline since the centralization of wealth and power during the time of the Historian Polybius and before. But with the reforms in the structure of the Roman army by Gaius Marius (157-86 BCE), Julius Caesar's uncle, a new opportunity to corrupt the character and souls of the Roman people and the world of Rome emerged.

“The son of god” is a phrase used to describe both Jesus the Christ and Augustus Caesar.

Julius Caesar's first job was Flamen Dialis or the high priest of the Temple of Jupiter.

The Latin, Iuppiter becomes Diespiter vis-a-vis, Deus pāter. So, the term Diespiter was the Old Latin form of the name Jupiter which literally meant the “Sky Father” which can also translate our "heavenly father" or “sky god”. This could also be literally rendered as “the bright one” if we use the Proto-Indo-European dyewwhich is defined as "to be bright, to shine" and "sky, heaven". We see this same rhetoric used by and about Jesus who was the Light, the Son of God, sent by His Father in Heaven.

Priest to general

When Julius was forced to retreat into the military because of rivalry with his family and the political power of Sulla he went from priest to General. He would become both priest and general when he returned. With the spoils of war from the genocide of the people of Gaul he would win political favor and power by buying his popularity among the people with "bounties, donations, and benefits” he obtained from his deeds of genocide in Gaul.

As former high priest in the temple of Jupiter he was able to blend his popularity into a political power and military generalship into the office of Emperator. Even the friends of Caesar knew that the combination of these offices welded into a single man would be a disaster. There needed to be a greater degree of Separation for it had always been essential that the left hand of government be separate from its right.

If these three positions of power and influence were consolidated into the hand one man the republic would decline even further and tyrants would reign in Rome. Considering the moral degeneration of the masses witnessed by their failure to prosecute the crimes of Julius Caesar, which had been prophesied by Polybius, some saw assassination as the only way to save the nation and the last vestiges of the Republic.

Assumed offices

Augustus Caesar not only assumed these offices but would be able to add to them because he was able to increase his popularity by spreading his dainties among the people through a system of social welfare providing free bread at the table of legal charity run through the temples of Rome and beyond.

There was an annual burning of incense at the temples of Rome where the faithful confirmed their allegiance and acceptance of Caesar as the Son of God.

Michael Peppard and Bradley Billings present unique analysis and arguments regarding the historical significance of this title according to the context of the Gospels’ time period where Jesus is prophesied as to be called the "Son of God" by an angel when that title was already claimed by the emperors world wide.

Divinity of Caesar

Julius Caesar's first job was Flamen Dialis (the high priest of the temple of Jupiter).

Because of that office he was manumitted from his natural father to serve as the son of Jupiter. He was then viewed as divine and holy during his lifetime as a priest. This might have been less remembered but as a general Julius bestowed a vast fortune on the Roman people through the temple of Jupiter and other subordinate temples from his spoils of war. This was clearly to win popularity with the people. It also played an important role in the lack of support of a desire to punish Julius Caesar for his war crimes against those people he conquered.

If he became the Emperor, Principas Civitas, and Apotheos of Rome his unique positions and titles would make him both priest and king. This was only possible because the Roman people were becoming accustomed to obtaining benefits at the expense of and by the property of others. Romans should have known that would cause the masses to degenerate into perfect savages and usher in tyrants. Of course because he rose to power by the power of the blade he would die by the blade.

Subsequent gods

There was eventually an inscription to Julius Caesar in Macedonia which stated, “To the Emperor Caesar, God, Son of God, Augustus. He had been declared a god of the roman state, “Divus Julius”. This declaration of Caesar as the “Son of God” was passed down.

"ΙΧΘΥΣ" and the "Ἰησοῦς Χριστός, Θεοῦ Υἱός, Σωτήρ"

The acronym "ICHTHYS" as a word means fish but represented "Iēsous Christos, Theou Yios, Sōtēr" is translates into "Jesus Christ, Son of God, Saviour".

Julius Caesar who was considered Divine (divus), at least after his assassination in 14 AD. No one wanting to speak ill of the dead he was given the title of Son of God as an honor and since he was such a consistent benefactor of the temple for the welfare of the people throughout the Empire. A title that would be given to Augustus Caesar as his adopted son and of course the leader of a impressive and victorious army.

With the sudden passing of Julius Caesar Augustus’ divinity was established via these facts. Augustus Caesar consolidate his position as heir but also through trial by combat against the assassins who murdered his father. He would also confiscate all their property by eliminating their heirs. This new wealth would be shared with the people to win the support of the masses.

Augustus would bestow gifts on the Greek people and build a Temple of Roma on the Acropolis aligned with the Parthenon of Athens in 19 AD. This granting of gifts, gratuities and benefits was not just to convince the people of his unbiased benefaction but create a dependence and loyalty among the masses. Herod did the same in Judea.

The temple was a symbol of a divine office of Rome and Caesar as the head of the Imperial Cult of Rome which was the center of the Public religion of the Empire and its social welfare State.

These buildings were monuments to their propaganda which caused the people to hail the once humble Octavius as the now divine "Augusts Soter" meaning “savior of the world”.

And of course since both the Caesars and Jesus the Christ would be called the Son of God these titles would contribute to the Christian conflict. This is why the two of them were often seen as or referred to by some as the Eagle and Dove because of the manner and methods used by them and their followers to provide for the social welfare of the people. The former like Herod and the Pharisees depended upon public Religion while the latter and His Church depended upon Pure Religion.

Apotheosis

Augustus Caesar, whose real name was Octavius, was the first in Rome to receive the title APOTHEOS. That title and office of power meant he appointed gods and the authority of that office literally raised him to the rank of god.

Since history repeats itself the historical significance of this can be very enlightening for those who want to know the whole truth and provide for it.

Augustus Caesar claimed to be a god or at least the Apotheos of Rome. Paul said there are gods many.

On the coin was the graven image of the "son of the Divine Augustus". Caesar ran a vast system of social welfare through the temples of Rome which was common practice in the earliest of city states.

Buying loyalty with benevolence

Augustus Caesar, like Julius Caesar before him, was benevolent to those who followed his way of unrighteousness.

Herod with the aid of the Pharisees had created similar systems centered in the Jewish temple he built at Jerusalem and his temple of Roma.

Because if Roman wealth and power Caesar often subsidies these systems with the funds they obtained through conquest. This made Augusts very popular with those people that had become accustomed to the dainties of rulers and were willing to turn a blind eye to where those benefits came from. Besides Rome was very

Octavian was called "Augustus Caesar, the savior of the whole world” by all the people who saw his exercising authority as a solution to the world's problems. He was also called the Father of Rome and the Son of God.

He was also called the Savior of the world of Rome in the minds of many people who believed that his power as Emperor was able to establish “Peace on earth,” with his "Pax Romana".

Evidently, the Pharisees had the coin in their possession. This was a violation of their own laws "Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image" nor have "any other gods before the God" of heaven. Jesus understood the real meaning of "graven image". He was just pointing out their hypocrisy.

Jesus was called the Son of God and Savior by early Christians. Romans called Caesar the Son of God and Savior. The method of Caesar to set “tables” of of welfare with his free bread was different than that of Christ who the Christians called “another king” was also called the Son of God which one of the official titles of Caesar along with Apotheos, the appointer of gods. There were and are still gods many but who are those gods?

Caesar's table was a snare and a trap according to the teachings of early Church and early Israel alike.

Understanding the difference between these tables will clarify the legal ramifications of those tables that were a snare and the nature of the Christian conflict with Rome and why they were called atheists and many of the modern atheist do not qualify as true atheists.
