"The man" (שיאה) in Gematria equals 316 = 300 + 10 + 1 + 5.
"Yeshu" (ושי) in Gemetria equals 316 = 6 + 300 + 10.
And Clement says:Understand ye that He saith the eighteen first, and then after an interval three hundred In the eighteen 'I' stands for ten, 'H' for eight. Here thou hast JESUS (IHSOYS). And because the cross in the 'T' was to have grace, He saith also three hundred. So He revealeth Jesus in the two letters, and in the remaining one the cross.
So, just as the value of 318 can stand for IH and T, the value of 316 could stand for IC and T.As then in astronomy we have Abraham as an instance, so also in arithmetic we have the same Abraham. For, hearing that Lot was taken captive, and having numbered his own servants, born in his house, 318, he defeats a very great number of the enemy. They say, then, that the character representing 300 is, as to shape, the type of the Lord's sign, and that the Iota and the Eta indicate the Saviour's name; that it was indicated, accordingly, that Abraham's domestics were in salvation, who having fled to the Sign and the Name became lords of the captives, and of the very many unbelieving nations that followed them. (Clement, Stromata, Book 6, Chapter 11)

“Mistress, the queen, far be it from you to believe his words, for by principle he has to be spiritual and not bodily. And about him the scripture said, ‘Blessed is the man,’ for ‘the man’ adds up to the calculation of ‘Yeshu,’ for the word ‘Yeshu’ has the initial letters of ‘May his name and memory be obliterated.’ And on account of the principle it is right to obliterate his name from the world. And we admit that he is a man, and about him the scripture said, ‘Cursed is the man who makes, etc.’ (Deut. 27:15) But if he is a prophet, behold, it is said, ‘And the man who acts presumptively without listening to the priest, etc.’ (Deut. 17:12) But he is a bastard, and the son of a menstruant, and not the Son of God, and condemned to four deaths by the Judgment House.”

Φασὶ δὲ οἱ Ἑβραῖοι «ἐσσὰ» μὲν καλεῖσθαι τὴν γυναῖκα· δηλοῦσθαι δὲ ἀπὸ τῆς λέξεως τὸ «ἔλαβον,» «Χῶς ἰσουὼθ ἐσσά,» ὅπερ ἑρμηνεύεται· «Ποτήριον σωτηρίου λήψομαι·» «ἴς» δὲ τὸν ἄνδρα, ὡς φανερὸν ἐκ τοῦ· «Ἐσρὴ ἀΐς,» ὅπερ ἐστί· «Μακάριος ἀνήρ.»Now the Jews say that the woman was called Essa, and that taken is a translation of this word as is evident from chos isouoth essa, which means, I have taken the cup of salvation; and that is means man, as we see from Hesre aïs, which is, Blessed is the man. According to the Jews, then, is is man, and essa, woman, because she was taken out of her husband (is).
Yes, I'd like to read it.Secret Alias wrote: ↑Wed Jan 19, 2022 7:14 am I finished my paper on this and was about to get my friends wife to edit it. But I will have to add this. Thank you. Let me know if you'd be interested in reading it. Definitely has a mythicist slant.
