Reminder that there is no evidence of a historical Jesus
>>
There was actually a pre-Christian Jewish belief in a celestial being named Jesus. He was:
>The firstborn son of God (Romans 8:29)
>The celestial “image of God” (2 Corinthians 4:4)
>God’s agent of creation (1 Corinthians 8:6)
>God’s celestial high priest (Hebrews 2:17, 4:14)
Christians worship an angel in Jewish angelology that already existed. The earliest known Christians believed this pre-existent being descended, became incarnate and died, rose again, and THEN appeared to select people to tell them this.

>Islam
Muhammed claims to have spoken with the angel Gabriel, so the Quran is supposed to be the spoken teachings of Gabriel, not Muhammed.
>Mormonism
Joseph Smith claims to have spoken with the angel Moroni, and the Book of Mormon is supposed to be the spoken teachings of Moroni, not Joseph Smith
>Christianity
Jesus was originally a celestial being like Gabriel or Moroni, and taught his followers in the same way. Then he was “Euhemerized” (stories were created that places him on earth interacting with actual historical figures.) People started believing or selling these stories as the truth.

Christianity originated from beliefs of a mythical celestial being, born from Jewish and Hellenistic literature and then grew from an outcast Jewish cult that believed in revelation, dreams and visions, rather than from the words of an itinerate rabbi who walked the earth.
>>
>"For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty."

2 Peter makes the claim of being an eyewitness account of Jesus’ majesty, yet immediately forges an eyewitness account of meeting Jesus on earth. This was written to answer otherwise unknown Christians who were claiming such a Jesus was a “cleverly devised myth” (2 Peter 2:1). This gives us a clue that there were Christians at the time who strongly believed Jesus was a celestial being instead of a physical human being.

"Consequently, to get rid of the report, Nero fastened the guilt and inflicted the most exquisite tortures on a class hated for their abominations, called Christians by the populace. Christus, from whom the name had its origin, suffered the extreme penalty during the reign of Tiberius at the hands of one of our procurators, Pontius Pilatus, and a most mischievous superstition, thus checked for the moment, again broke out not only in Judæa, the first source of the evil, but even in Rome, where all things hideous and shameful from every part of the world find their centre and become popular. Accordingly, an arrest was first made of all who pleaded guilty; then, upon their information, an immense multitude was convicted, not so much of the crime of firing the city, as of hatred against mankind."

How many times does this autistic asshole get to post this same fucking thread before he's banned?

He ALWAYS resorts to the fucking cop-out arguments that every single fucking primary source (the New Testament, Tacitus, Josephus, Mara bar Sarapion, Suetonius, the Talmud, Pliny the Younger, Thallus, Phlegon of Tralles, Celsus, the Dead Sea Scrolls, Lucian of Samosota, Emperor Trajan, Epictetus, Numineus of Apamea, Galen, etc.) were all "later Christian forgeries" WITHOUT A SINGLE FUCKING SHRED OF PROOF.

Nobody, and I mean LITERALLY FUCKING NOBODY who has actually studied the New Testament or the history of the Middle East denies the existence of a man named Jesus (Yeshoa) who started a religious movement.

Also, if there was no Jesus and no disciples, WHO THE FUCK WAS THE FIRST POPE?!?!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Historicity_of_Jesus

"Virtually all New Testament scholars and Near East historians, applying the standard criteria of historical investigation, find that the historicity of Jesus is more probable than not,[4][5][6][7][nb 1][nb 2][nb 3][nb 4] although they differ about the beliefs and teachings of Jesus as well as the accuracy of the details of his life that have been described in the gospels.[nb 5][13][nb 6][15]:168–173 While scholars have criticized Jesus scholarship for religious bias and lack of methodological soundness,[nb 7] with very few exceptions such critics generally do support the historicity of Jesus and reject the Christ myth theory that Jesus never existed.[17][nb 8][19][20][21]"

>>at least three of the gospels were written well within the lifetime of the apostles and are largely in agreement with each other despite separate authorships

The earliest gospel we have is somewhere between 125-250 AD. It's still heavily contested whether they were written by the apostles. There are many non-trivial inconsistencies within these texts. Even his birth story is obviously fabricated to match prophecies.

>>two of them possibly written/recounted by apostles themselves

See above.

>>references to non-Jesus matters match non-biblical records and archelogical evidence of the time, in Luke especially

Luke couldn't even get the correct governor of Syria during the census right. Trusting the Bible for historical matters is like trusting ancient Egyptian texts. Heavily affected by propaganda, such as claimed a pharaoh conviniently conquering territory just larger than Darius

>>no one in the early church (made up partly of people who would have seen Jesus while alive) seriously contested their validity

Obviously not, they were Christians. Do you think Muslims would doubt the validity of the Koran? But let's not mention Christians had a council in the 3rd century to cherry pick what to include in the New Testament

>Please. We don't discount the idea Socrates existed and our only evidence of him is from his pupil Plato.

Yes, because it's more reasonable to assume Plato existed than something heavily tainted by religious fanaticism, propaganda, and politics.

Portions of the Talmud were written in the 1st century AD.

"The Talmud (Hebrew for “study”) is one of the central works of the Jewish people. It is the record of rabbinic teachings that spans a period of about six hundred years, beginning in the first century C.E. and continuing through the sixth and seventh centuries C.E."

>making up bullshit arguments

It's not a bullshit argument, it's clear you didn't understand the message. It wasn't that he wouldn't speak about Christ, it's how he did.
>>
>>2930466
No way John was 160 years old. John finished writing @ 95 AD.

The gospels were likely written in the 30's and 40's, and Paul was writing in the 40's and 50's. Luke was literally documenting the first martyr and the earliest church members possible.

the people who late date everything in the New Testament do it to discredit the New Testament, and for no other reason. They tried to back the gospels up to 70 AD reasoning that since nobody wrote of the destruction of the temple, they must have written in the late 60's.

It's bogus reasoning. There's no reason not to believe the apostles immediately started writing.
>>
>>2930466
For dates on the gospels I'm going by the oldest documents we know of
Matthew: 150-250 AD
Mark: 250 AD
Luke: 175-250 AD
John: 125-250 AD

>Has been debunked
No it hasn't, Luke's claim is still false. If you want to show me the consensus that disproves this, go ahead I couldn't find it. The new testament is a joke as a historical document.

>Nicene council
They voted on what documents they believed were divinely inspired. That doesn't mean the gospels are any more valid. There were a plethora of gospels written.
>>
>>2930597
You need to proffer they immediately began writing, and there have been no documents found to prove this. The earliest found gospels are dated between 125-250 AD

Complete and utter bullshit.

Matthew, John, Peter - all apostles of Jesus, all full grown men in 32 AD.

Luke and Paul were contemporaries; Paul was a full grown man when Stephen was martyred. He died in the 60s.

The idea is that a source is less likely to have made up something disfavorable.
I mean it's obvious right, if the romans knew there was no jesus guy they would have certainly mentioned it, while a christian would assume jesus existed regardless.

It's possible there were no such thing as official records and he's taking the christian's words are true however, since it's not too unbelievable that a crazy hobo claiming to be god was executed in judea.

>>2930635
You're right, I'll just follow it's writings without question

>>2930636

>>2930633

Revisionist bullshit trying to undermine the perceived credibility of Christianity as a faith. Once certain agenda-driven scholars saw that making Jesus into a "mere" historical figure failed to drive people away from the church, the next logical step was to make Jesus a purely fictional figure.

If you could follow the bible, you'd be much better off than you are now, yes. Infinitely so.

The Council of Nicea had nothing to do with the formation of the New Testament canon (nor did Constantine). Nicea was concerned with how Christians should articulate their beliefs about the divinity of Jesus. Thus it was the birthplace of the Nicean creed.

We have copies of the autographs, and writings of the early christians sufficient to reconstruct the autographs.

Ok, where was the New testament put together then?

>We have copies of the autographs, and writings of the early christians sufficient to reconstruct the autographs.

Once the again, the only documents we have are from the dates I gave. Ergo, that's the best we know. If we find any earlier copies, great. That hasn't happened yet. Saying there were earlier copies without proof is useless.

Yes. They didn't believe it was a fabrication. They thought it was real. In the cargo cults their religious experiences started as them getting visions and hearing words from antennas and then 30 years later they believed there was a real man named John Frum who taught them everything they know and would soon drop them Cargo. There is precedent for it. You had people saying they knew John Frum personally even though he didn't exist. This was less than 100 years ago so to say it's unlikely back then seems odd.

Yes, primary sources are hard to come by. But there are boat loads of them for, say Ceasar, Wagner or the Wright brothers. But alas, none for Jesus.

>Go to bed Imp

Quit whining shitposter...

How frustrating it must be to find out the gospels are about morals and not stories about magic tricks - and that they're founded in a reality.

Not according to Proverbs.

You believe things that have much less evidence and are much less placeable in reality merely on the notion that they are scientific or historical, if they were religious, you would doubt them more.

Literally any book of history or science has such things on it.

We have ACTUAL written evidence of Alexander existing, such as the Babylonian royal diary.

>Reminder that there is no evidence of a historical Jesus

The spirit of prophecy gives account to a man named Jesus...

And we have a report of tacitus of yeshua existing.

Historically we can even deduce which was the true branch of christianity.

The true religion was to be persecuted and hated by all.

The so called orthodoxy has prevailed to our days.

Meanwhile the gnostics were exterminated and very little is known.

>A guy from 200 AD saying a guy existed compared to a document made during Alexander's name outlining the exact date of birth, entry to Babylon, and death.

Hearsay isn't good evidence

>>2938898

I don't know why we bother studying history if in the future a faggot will come and say that there was no evidence because he's not convinced.

The fact that the son of man permeated more than 1 religion should tell you a thing about his existence.

You don't have to lie to yourself about the man existing just to believe he's a celestial being.

He could of just been some guy that did weird shit and people took it as "ZOMG hes from the sky!!"

Don't gotta believe IN him to believe he existed

The fact it's tied to a religion means it needs more scrutiny.
