I would start with an analogy. Let’s presuppose that Einstein and Newton lived in the same physical world. While the first spoke in his dissertation on the special relativity of space-time, the latter lived in a mind space where the concept of “measure” was absolute and information could propagate instantly everywhere. 

Now if you told me that Newton or Pythagóras could understand a movie like Interstellar I would be surprised. The sensorial perception hasn’t changed much, sure. There hasn’t been an evolutionary step toward a new way to conceive time. But since there was no word that could describe such a cultural experience then even the “reality” of it didn’t happen.

The moment Gandhi spoke of “non-violence,” he might have been derived it from a previous philosophical or religious movement, he started a new experience. And this experience we can relate to, today.

I don’t know about Jesus. As you don’t. And Bart D. Erhman doesn’t. But Jesus has nothing to do with “non-violence.” Using a modern category of the mind to explain the past is very very bad historiography.

P.S.

I know about Jainism about Bagwan’s story about his father. Whatever is happening in Japan there is a fine line between cultural misappropriation and racism.

When we were in school studying Latin a common fun practice was to imagine how to translate common words like computer, airplane into the ancient language. It was very hard. But it’s also true the opposite.

I agree. The only way to study ancient texts is to learn the language. With a funny turn of events, since once you’ve learned you got trapped in it and concepts would keep being untranslated.

My dear Stephen, I don’t know where did you get the impression that I want to be right all time! (pun intended) Maybe it says more about yourself than it describes who I am.
I was simply arguing. As many others do in this blog.
There is nothing personal.
Take care.
