A Growing Number of Scholars Are Questioning the Historic Existence of Jesus
One radical notion is that the story of Jesus was a type of psychological warfare to pacify the Jews.
Historians have measures in terms of a burden of proof. If an author for instance is writing about a subject more than 100 years after it occurred, it isn’t considered valid. Another important metric is the validity of authorship. If the author cannot be clearly established, it makes the record far less reliable.
What we do have are lots of sources completed several decades after the fact, by authors of the gospels who wanted to promote the faith. The gospels themselves are contradictory. For instance, they tell competing Easter stories. Another problem, there aren’t any real names attached to many of them, but rather an apostle’s who “signed off” on the manuscript. There is also evidence that the gospels were heavily edited over the years.
Maybe now ppl will wake up to the lies
People are questioning whether someone really did spontaneously become pregnant with the son of a mythical being? Wow – but it sounds so believable! And I mean I have never once questioned how accurate the story is considering the number of times it was told and re-told before anyone ever wrote it down….. because as we all know from the game of Chinese Whispers – the story at the end is exactly the same as the story at the start with absolutely no embellishments added at all….
