Some have claimed the message of the New Testament is consistent with Marxism. There may be another meaning, however.
Lithuanian is a language as ancient as Biblical Greek or Hebrew. Some claim it was essentially court Persian, but I have not been able to find corroboration for this claim. ***Did Lithuania try to conquer the world in ancient times? Probably not, I have made the reasons a footnote.
“Magija Dalina” means “he, she or they distribute magic.” Mary Magdalene’s name is hypothesized to come from the city of Magdala which meant “fishing village with a tower.” However, the only basis for saying Magdala means "fishing village with a tower" is that it strikes modern scholars as sounding like Aramaic for "fish" and "tower." So, there is just as much basis for saying it means "she distributes magic."
“Pharisee” sounds suspiciously like “Parsee” or what Indians call their Persian minority. Can it be some Persian gangsters imbedded themselves into the less devout among the Hebrew people? Perhaps among people who didn't want to hear Judaism from a sincere and moral rabbi?
Magic in ancient times did not refer to stage magic but to the practice of trying to affect the outcome of one thing with the patterns of another. The ancients would call the creation of a voodoo doll magic. They may have borrowed the souls of slaves to teach their children to speak. “Ishtarti” (spelled ištarti) means “to speak or pronounce.” Can it be slaves of Ishtar taught verbal skills with “magijos dalinimas?” The tower of Babel may have housed them. I admit it’s tenuous.
Unfortunately, Mary Magdalene may have had to distribute her soul to the public by being an entertainer. She was said to be wealthy and possessed by seven demons. Her profession may have been consigned to share housing with a fishing village.
The Gospels may be set in communities where marginal or fallen-away Jews and pagans lived. Genesis and Exodus describe some of the Israelites as a little incorrigible. [Edit: I hadn't reviewed Judges in a while.] The nation of Israel also absorbed some of the people of various tribes they had been at war with. Those people may have preserved practices such as human sacrifice and the fallen-away Jews may have gone along.
Despite the warnings of the Prophet Samuel, the Israelites had demanded a king. The king is the representative of the poor. Kings may have grown corrupt and let some part of the Israelite people and the vanquished peoples under the Israelites’ rule to revert to paganism or to begin trafficking people to themselves. Mary Magdalene may have been one of them. Gangs may have pressured victims, or perhaps they were trafficked from afar.
Lazarus may have lived among such gangs in the areas where the pagans and fallen-away or marginal Jews lived. Perhaps he died of a preventable illness because he resisted being forced into into selling his soul for the practice of black magic. He may then have been blacklisted by the fallen-away Jews and the pagans until, malnourished, he died.
The still-faithful Jews may have looked on with concern but there was only so much they could do. The Lord attested to the saving power of Judaism in several places in the Gospel. However, could a foreigner or a Jew who had been taken from their parents be expected to learn the complex devotions of Judaism and regain her soul fast enough to make a faith-based stand against the mob? There was a lot of opium in the ancient world. It is possible victims were hooked.
Forgive me, Lord, if this is blasphemy, but it occurs to one that if the kings of the Israelites allowed some of the people to become corrupt, it may have fallen to their descendant to correct their course.
It is possible the rich young man had made his money either by selling his soul or by helping the mob enslave others.
The early communities in Acts 5 may have been composed of those who desired salvation but stood little chance of obtaining it from practicing Judaism, either because the mob was pressuring them or perhaps they needed a miracle. It says everything was shared with all the faithful, but if the average poor person in Galilee or Judea was practicing black magic and soul theft, and “faithful” means desiring the salvation of their soul, then the communities probably were not just helping any poor person who wanted to keep practicing soul theft but wanted to improve their lot.
If a person had been blacklisted for not wanting to have their soul distributed by being forced into entertainment, then they probably had not been able to obtain an apprenticeship and learn a trade and they probably had no land. Annias and Sephirah may have made their money either by selling their souls or helping the mob. Either way, they had strengthened the system. They may have been required to make it good by giving what they had to support the blacklisted.
None of that implies the New Testament teaches the practice of sharing everything is an intrinsic good. The point of the communities may have been to set the faithful blacklisted on their feet economically and learn a trade, at which point they would no longer be necessary for all of Christian society. Perhaps those people who had gotten wealthy by cooperating with the mob were given an opportunity to do repentance by providing support to the community. Perhaps they had hurt the blacklisted and society at large by strengthening the system of mob slavery.
***The footnote I promised: Lithuanian is the closest living language to Proto-Indo-European. All the languages of Europe except Basque, Finnish, and Welsh are descended from Proto-Indo-European. Many languages of west Asia and northern India are as well. However, Lithuanian DNA is not found in all these places. The DNA of a prehistoric people called the Yamnaya is. They lived just north of the Caspian sea until they expanded throughout Europe and much of Asia. Lithuania may still be speaking Yamnayan, or the Yamnaya may have borrowed ancient Lithuanian.
Consider viewing PBS Nova "The First Horse Warriors" from 36:12. The Yamnaya may have used people they took in order to teach verbal skills. "Ishtarti" (spelled ištarti) means "to speak or pronounce." They may have used slaves of Ishtar to teach proper, standardized speaking. This may imply that they insisted their vanquished peoples learn the way they spoke. The tower of Babel may have housed such slaves. When it collapsed and they died, people forgot how to speak. Perhaps that means they forgot to speak clearly and unambiguously. Incidentally, it is said that General Lee lost the Battle of Gettysburg in part because he had not been able to issue clear, unambiguous instructions to his cavalry commander. This despite the fact that Lee had previously had an illustrious military career. Perhaps Pennsylvanians started to pray for him when he invaded their homeland? Perhaps he had a slave keeping him in verbal skills?
