10 Christian Myths That Show Jesus Never Existed at All | Nailed by David Fitzgerald 

YOU GUYS ARE JUST SO RUDE...IF YOU ONLY KNEW.

@@eagleeyes6642 Rude? I think that you meant truthful.

@@rocioaguilera3555 God sent us His prophet to show that He is Alive and Real and All Powerful.

@@rocioaguilera3555 So I take it you don't believe Jesus is Real?

Peter cut off the ear of a Roman soldier and was never persecuted in the story. You might ask yourself why Peter wasn't persecuted because the story is false.

Study philosophy. atheism is retarded

You are not evil for wanting evidence to support the idea of Gob or Jesus especially when there is evidence to support the claim that they don’t exist. My father died of cancer when I was 2.5 years old, and I remember thinking, “Oh, I get it now. God is a fairytale parents tell their children so they won’t be afraid of death.” I struggled with it into my twenties before I finally realized it was hurting me not helping me and so I had to admit to myself that I didn’t believe in God. I was raised Christian, but my mom never forced me to go to church or anything like that, she understands why I don’t believe. But everyone else helped push me away from believing. My aunts (my Pappa’s sisters) all promised me that because everyone was praying for him God would heal him. Bad idea to promise something that you can’t deliver on to a two and a half year old child. I red your comment and felt like I had to tell you your not evil at all. I will bet your the opposite of evil, a wonderful caring person. I know how much it’s always hurt my to be told that I am going to hell. And only Christians have ever said that to me, and mostly when I still was trying to believe. So I just needed to tell you that I know that doesn’t make you bad in anyway at all. Never let judgmental people get to you. Some of us have love for others because we are loving, not because we’re afraid of hell, or want to be rewarded with heaven. I wish you all the best in life. Thank you for giving me a reason to try to show kindness to someone I don’t know. That’s how I know we don’t need God to have morals. Best wishes to you and anyone else who may read this.

@@TheGoldenBear79 your psychological reporting, preference and taste is only an opinion. The metaphysical question of a God concerns Epistemic grounds in which premature death (due to our fallen nature and sin) has nothing to do with. I’m sorry your childhood wasn’t ideal but mine wasn’t either; it sucks. However, being logical with this question of God goes beyond our sense data and we should be “objective” in the sense of epistemology; which shows that there are logical grounds for the Christian God and atheism is self refuting is retarded. I’d suggest asking people like Jay Dyer for more specifics via super chat on streams

@@TheGoldenBear79 Yes, God took your Dad when you were a 2 1/2 year old child because "God moves in mysterious ways."

You should read Fitzgerald’s book. It’s quite interesting

Great comment!

That’s EXACTLY what I think. We invent religion to satisfy our existential fears. I’d go further and say religions then get fed into power structures and become dogmatic. Thank you for your comment.

Science has no good answers for the creation of the universe and of life. The BEST answer is that intelligence was used. In fact, the default of everything man made is that intelligence had to be used. Information must come from intelligence. DNA in living cells is vast amounts if information. The laws of the universe are extremely detailed and precise. Its impossible without God. Probability studies prove that a higher intelligence was required. Once we realize that God is necessary for everything, we wonder why would God make life and not want any relationship with it at all? When we look at which religion actually makes sense to explain that relationship, we only find one. Christianity. It would be impossible for the Bible to be man made. The evidence is completely overwhelming and I'm a skeptic. The evidence needs to be examined. It will take hours to consider the evidence and a comment box on RU-vid is not sufficient to explain it all. But many books have been written and I can provide a list of books that are impossible to form good arguments against. Everything points to the reality that Jesus did come to earth. Even the astronomical fact that we can prove the star of Bethlehem appeared. The Bible accurately predicts the future. Archeology proves many things from the Bible. Its just completely overwhelming for anyone to argue with.

Yes, crimes done in the name of religion are unforgivable. I'd like to add that most religious "crimes" were of the past (except radical Islam) and done during periods when many cultures reverted to horrific practices for punishment and conquering, etc. It reflected more the times people lived as opposed to New Testament teaching, and in spite of what was taught not because of it. It otherwise rarely occurs in name of Jesus (whether you believe or not) because he spoke only of peace and love. He opposed and taught against victimization of any kind. I think we can all agree on that.

@@amyjoyce2301 I can agree that’s what he said as reported in the gospels. But that doesn’t stop Christian Nationalists loving guns, fighting welfare reforms and taking part in book banning. It doesn’t stop them supporting Israel’s current attacks on defenceless children. Neither did it stop the Catholic Church signing agreements with Hitler or finding constant new posts for prolific paedophiles. I agree with your sentiments butthink Jesus is a bit too woke for many of the born again and there are many modern situations where religiosity means callous indifference to suffering. I just wish this wasn’t so.

wait, seriously? its a 30 minute praise fest and advertisement for the book? Thanks for saving me the time. perhaps i'll grab the book.

Gregory Thomas, that's bcz no one is able to disprove nor deny the existance of God, it's just that simple.I mean sure we all have questions about who God is, why was there so much killing in The Old Testament of even women and children, why is there so much suffering in the world, etc, but on the other hand when we consider the heavens & the trillion upon trillions of stars in it , when we consider the mind-boggling intricacies of life right here on earth, when we consider the mathematical constants, the multitude of spoken languages, & I could go on & on, SURELY, there MUST be an Infinitely Great Intelligence to have brought all this into being AND to hold them in PERFECT equilibrium, & this Infinitely Great Intelligence, which of necessity must transcend space & time, we call God.So it all comes down to faith in God, not blind faith, but faith based upon the visible evidence all around us, bcz to try to figure out God Who is Infinite with our human finite minds will only lead to a cul-de-sac.

@@ivornworrell There is God. God was created by Mashafintu. But Mashafintu was not happy with God so He slew him and he created another. And so he does every year, kills the old God and creates the new one. The first God created people and our world but Mashafintu never noticed, He just slays God and creates a new one. That's why God does not interfere into our world affairs because we are not His children but the first God's, long time dead. So we are alone.

@@andyboa8107 Just by your words I can tell you haven't had your wake-up call in life yet bcz once we have our wake-up call, we WILL find ourselves on our knees fefore God Almighty pleading for mercy.Salaam

Till 325 AD, not a single historian or writer wrote about Jesus Christ or any of his disciples . BEFORE THE FIRST COUNCIL OF NICEA IN 325 AD, NOBODY ON THIS PLANET EVER HEARD OF THE NAMES JESUS CHRIST OR CHRISTIANITY. JESUS/ BIBLE / CHRISTIANTY WAS COOKED UP IN 325 AD, BY JEWESS HELENA , WHO SAT ON THE POPE'S CHAIR.. The dead sea scrolls covering the period from Birth of Jesus to 68 AD , does NOT say one word about Jesus or his 12 Apostles. Hellenistic philosopher Philo Judaeus of Alexandria (20 BCE-50 AD/CE)-alive at the purported time of Jesus, and one of the wealthiest and best connected citizens of the Empire- makes no mention of Christ, Christians or Christianity in his voluminous writings. Nor do any of the hundreds of other historians and writers who flourished during the first THREE centuries of the common era. The DEAD SEA SCROLLS were all written by Pagan Essenes . None of them have been edited by later Christians, as is the case with some other Jewish literature. All the scrolls (except a treasure map known as the Copper Scroll) can be dated prior to A.D. 68 or 69, when the Qumran settlement was believed to have been destroyed by the Romans in the Jewish revolt. The oldest of the scrolls probably goes back to the middle of the third century B.C. The people of Qumran belonged to a Pagan religious group known as the Essenes. Pliny the Elder, who died during the volcanic destruction of Pompeii in the year 79 A.D., described a community of pagan Essenes living on the western shore of the Dead Sea, close to where Khirbet Qumran is situated. John the Baptist was an ascetic Essene . He was a vegan and was uncircumcised . Various literary sources like Josephus and Philo tell clearly that Essenes were ascetics. We also know, from literary testimony, the Dead Sea Scrolls, and the archaeological remains of Qumran, that the Essenes practiced many water baptisms for ritual purification-similar to a dip in the Ganges or the river Pampa or at Thiirunelli. At Qumran, however, all members of the community were baptized with water for ritual purification. Josephus writes, "And as for their piety towards God, it is very extraordinary; for before sunrising they speak not a word about profane matters, but put up certain prayers which they have received from their forefathers, as if they made a supplication for its rising" (Wars, 2.8.5). This testimony accords well with what we know from the Dead Sea Scrolls. Prayer and humility was one thing that the Essenes . When they cooked up stories about Jesus they wrote that Jesus Christ ate the Last Supper in the Essene part of town. Jesus is not historical character, The Dead Sea Scrolls have produced increasing evidence to cement the fact that Jesus Christ never existed and the whole story was cooked up at the First Council of Nicea in 325 AD. The FAKE gospels were written after 325 AD after Jesus was cooked up at the first Council of Nicea.. Twelve apostles of Jesus never existed. Jesus Christ names 12 apostles to spread his gospel, and the early Christian church owes its rapid rise to their missionary zeal. Yet, for most of the Twelve, there's scant evidence of their existence outside of the New Testament. The concept of using statistics to prove that 'God authored the Bible' is bullshit. Why was the library of Alexandria burnt ? The gospel of Thomas was not written by Jesus' disciple Thomas. Englishman Godfrey Higgins studied Greek, Latin and law at Cambridge . His two-volume, 867-page book Anacalypsis: An Enquiry into the Origins of Languages, Nations, and Religions, was published posthumously in 1836. In his treatise, Higgins writes " the mythos of the Jews and the mythos of the Greeks are all at bottom the same lifted from the ancient mythos of Hindus ; and ... are contrivances under the appearance of histories to perpetuate doctrines," and that Christian editors “either from roguery or folly, corrupted them all.” 1900, Scottish MP John Mackinnon Robertson wrote that Jesus never existed but was an FAKE invention by a first-century messianic cult. He wrote about the First Council of Nicea of 325 AD where powerful forces invented a new god to fit the needs of the society of the time .Robertson specifically mentions the Talmudic story of the Yeshu . Thomas says: "Simon Peter said to them, ‘Make Mary leave us, for females don’t deserve life.’ Jesus said, ‘Look, I will guide her to make her male, so that she too may become a living spirit resembling you males. For every female who makes herself male will enter the kingdom of heaven’" (Thomas 114). AIYOOOOO -even Christians don’t like this When the master of James baby Jesus Christ never existed -- how can his disciple St James exist ? Even since the dead sea scrolls have been discovered CHRISTIANS and JEWS are jumping up and down like demented orangutans claiming that Essenes belong to them. Dead Sea text or Qumran Scrolls have absolutely nothing ZILCH, to do with the Bible of the Torah - never mind the diabolical lies of the Christians and the Jews. For arguments sake -even if messiah Jesus Christ existed , the gospels were written a even a century after Jesus' estimated year of death, by individuals who never met Jesus, and then were edited or forged over the centuries by unknown scribes with their own agendas.

To write it off by saying “it makes no sense” just shows YOUR lack of understanding.

I like Monty Python. But if you think that's the greatest explanation of Christianity, you don't get out much. Lol

#MichalBenAsgerSiegal agrees with you.

Always look on the bright side of life! (or death...followed by whistling!)

That's true but though I'm no specialist from what I heard and read even in the Bible there's no mention of Jesus actually being mentioned. Yes the Bible doesn't mention anything about Jesus' childhood nor anything else. So there's a chance that it's a myth but we can't possibly know as there's no tomb either.

@@dazv3605 thats true, and the opportunities that are given for him to identify he uses vague phrases " i am what you say i am" "im the son of man" he calls god his father, but every myth has a legendary or deity as a farher. So it could be that he grew up in a sect that called YHWH "father" rather than the forbidden Rabbinical name used by the temple priests. And even given that, so much insinuation and deeper story needs to be added to make the direct connection tp yhwh and the house of David that you really need everylast bit id wall plaster to hide the gaping hole. Angels just dont quite cut it for i dunno, is there a word specifically meaning Raped by God? Railed by the almighty? The messiah was also supposed to come from the tribe of Judah, the warrior tribe. David was just another schmo that spied on naked hairy jewish chicks while dancing on the roof ofvhis palace naked playing the lyre. Probably badly at that. Itsvhard to concentrate on my bass when hot sleazy chicks are flashing their tits so ill cut him some slack but vome on? Peeping? Lol The first jewish scholar to mention him was josephus in the later first century. The gospels were pit together at the first council of nicea, in 325 CE AND THEN EDITED TO REmove the infancy gospels, mary, gospel of judas (which was written prior to Revelation of John the Divine but excluded simply because itvrevealed that Iscariot was doing what jc had asked of him. It even references the kiss that judas gave, givingbeach man a final ssy jesus says thank you, you have done my fathers will while judas begs his forgiveness apologises. Interestingly the suicide of judas without spending the silver coinscan be seen in another book but without the conversations. Hes branded a traitor and hangs himself as an act of contrition. Now being schizophrenic and bipolar ive experienced suicidal thoughts and acts as punishmebts for my failings. Ive done things that i was given little choice in and carry that guilt still. Ancient israelwas built on guilt every mystery cult at the time taught physical suffering for eternal glory with god or simply as purifucation for the initiate. Since so much ancuint tradition originates around the Levant wouldnt it make sense that a newly wealthy man would be of living it up or that a man asked to betray a man he saw as brother and teacher kills himself out of the weight of that guilt. Somehow people have put the characters of their religion in a position outside of humanity. Like the followers of jc werent also human or forvthat matter rhat jc wasnthiman. If hes god in human form then he is experiencieng reality as a human. With all the embarrassments and dreadful teenyears. And off time period here but you just know there was a kid that tried to get out of chores or school because they had a touch of the plague that was creatively applied mud on bad acne.

Disappointing that Campbell remained a deist. I love all of Campbell's stuff anyway.

C.S. Lewis

To the best of my knowledge, Campbell was never on the faculty at Georgetown U. He was a Professor of Literature at Sarah Lawrence College from 1934 until 1972.

@@MJHudak1952 Thank you. You are correct. Somehow I got it stuck in my head he was a professor at Georgetown, probably because he was a Catholic early in his life. I just read his Wikipedia entry. It was revealing in may ways. I do understand some of his critics when it was pointed out that he was selective when he cited certain things that fit his theories, and disregarded others that did not fit. That struck me at the time I watched "The Power of Myth" on PBS. Still, there was a lot to gain by watching it.

If a big percentage of people are praying, turning the other cheek, and believing this is spiritual warfare and no tangible blood needs to be spilled; than those in abusive power have won. Being proactive is better than praying.

@@mistylover7398 From my perspective, that is very well stated. The word "sin" was and is meant to imply that human behavior offends a creator. I suggest that a creator never existed to be offended, and that it was, and still is, only people that are offended by each other’s behaviors.

If you believe literally perhaps but many Christians don’t, your comment seems to assume that all Christians do, and assumes that the values in Christianity come from its literalist interpretation when they don’t. Just to point out my experience when my pastor gave a sermon, when I was in Highschool he would often say, „It is my responsibility as a pastor to remind you that this is a metaphor.“

I was also raised in the Church of Christ in Texas. I have a minor in religious studies from Abilene Christian University. This adds to the credibility of my suspicions, beginning in high school, that this Christ-thing is nothing but intentionally manufactured b.s.

@@charlesburton100 having spent a couple decades now in reevaluation of what I was presented with as truth, It seems that whatever the initiating factor was for Christianity was genuine in attempting to lift humanity to another level of understanding. However, as tends to happen when things pass from the hands of sages to those of priests, it was eventually co-opted and used as a powerful tool of control. I do not claim any religion or practice anymore but I do acknowledge wisdom when I recognize it. I always enjoy talking with other recovering Church of christers. I'm familiar with Abilene but more so with Faulkner, Harding, David Lipscomb, heritage Bible college (where my mother and father went,) and freed hardeman University (where I attended for a year and a half.)

Congrats on your escape from the cult.

Your opinion

I agree they didn't really explain the points of his book did they?

No evidence. High energy mockery. Twisting the very words of historical documents. The math of the Bible is beyond Ai computers especially the Torah.

Agreed ...great topic but didn't sound like 10 myths, hence following becomes difficult. They could have noted the points in an orderly manner

Same

Isn't the JW book a Bible that has simply tweaked Yahweh's name into Jehovah and that actually has a couple of epistles simply pulled out.

I would say that, what with everything else Ehrman has written... He's got to be winking at us. I was going to say that somebody must have blackmail material on him, but you reminded me about his wife. That'll do it.

Bart's in a very comfortable position - he doesn't need to court great controversies. As he ages, though, I suspect we may see a softening of his position on historicity.

Ehrman could address extreme controversy now later in his life because he's secured his tenure. His wife might be an influence, but more than that I dont think you need to look farther than the possibility of losing his funding, which I'm sure comes primarily from liberal Christian churches. That being the case, he can address minor controversy and work within a liberal framework, without risking funding. I'm sure his debates against extremist positions goes a ways to endearing him to fundamentalists and assures funding from them, too.

I'm taking a guess here: Bart Ehrman will never come to the conclusion that Jesus never existed. Not because he's "too much invested" in the fact that Jesus existed, but simply because there is enough evidence to establish that he DID exist. Now how much is accurate and how much is a myth is, of course, another topic.

Ehman made a bigger change than that already, from evangelist to atheist. You should have much better evidence (or any at all) before accusing someone of dishonesty, Timothy Mulholland. In fact, he could probably make more money by claiming mythicism is more likely since it would be sensational and that stuff sells.

Pliny the Younger... Seutonius.... Most of all...THE BIBLE!

Is there any evidence that proves your 4th Great Grandfather was a historical character. When you die, you are soon forgotten. Jesus was not soon forgotten.

That's... really not true. In the slightest. I don't know why certain atheists and antitheists keep pulling this line. It discredits any criticism of Christianity because it's so easily proven false: Non-Christian sources in the Roman Empire attested to the existence of a figure known as 'The Christ' by his followers, and his execution by crucifixion as a rebel leader, which informed later Roman persecution of the early Christian sects as being, well, formed around an anti-Roman rebel. The Bible is compiled from various writings of the period, and while the supernatural claims it makes are unfalsifiable, and we know some of the biographical information such as the birth in Bethlehem rather than Nazareth, is likely fabricated to suit the narrative of the Messianic prophecies, that's kind of like saying that Hitler didn't exist because there's a lot of bullshit claims about him being made in many sources like History Channel "documentaries". The rational skeptic view is to accept that Jesus was almost certainly a real historical person, an apocalyptic Jewish preacher like many others of his time and period, and his followers incorporated his death by execution into their theology in a way that isn't that dissimilar to many other smaller cults throughout history. Taking it as dogma that Jesus didn't exist as though that's the only way Christianity can't be true is... well, just silly.

according to chat gpt there is writings over other people. but probabely they are myths too ;-)

Why do you do this? Sunken costs?

Well if the Jews are correct, maybe that's you.

You have a low opinion of god...he is not human. He does not need to laugh at anyone. Anyway, this proves how mythical this god is.

@@tommyanomaly6193 Sunken cost fallacy, lol

Its interesting that hundreds of prophesies came true. Lucky guesses? Interesting that the star of Bethlehem appeared as prophesied and can be proven by astronomy software, since the stars are based mathematically and can obviously be calculated. Something we discovered in precision AFTER the Bible wrote the words. Interesting that Jesus had Hematohidrosis which is described in the New Testament even though science hadnt discovered it. Pleural effusion is also described, even though nobody knew what that was at the time either. Those had to be lucky guesses. All the prophesies would be impossible to guess but they are there. The Archaeological and historical evidence that has been found has supported scriptures. Jesus appeared to hundreds of witnesses after his resurrection. We use eye witnesses as evidence to this day. Christianity spread like wildfire in the early years. If it was a lie it would have been easy to prove by finding Jesus body or by many other ways and would have fallen flat. The entire world time line is separated into BC and AD, marking Jesus appearance as most significant. It would have had to be in an enormous conspiracy over hundreds of years to make it happen and that doesn't explain how they could predict the future or control the stars or plant evidence in the ground. None of that. And we could continue for hours just listing off the evidence that supports it.

What about Tacitus, Suetonius and some authentic parts of the works of Josephus Flavius? All fit into a 100-year timeframe after crucifixion.

The Bible sits at the top of most authenticated historical documents in world history. It not only documents Jesus, but his appearance to hundreds of witnesses, hundreds of prophesies that occurred hundreds of years before His birth. The Bible remains the best selling book of all time and your dislike of the Bible does not affect its historical significance as a historical document. You don't get to erase it and in fact it's a compilation of many books and letters by many authors written over many years.

Straight out lies. Even those who hated him preserved his record. Buzz words and propaganda word salads So scary you make up myths and show absolutely no evidence

⁠@@Rikastintacitus never mentions Jesus. He only mentions Christus and then only as what the christian believes in, not as a historical fact. The small ections in Josephus is obviously a later christian forgery. Suetonious never mentions jesus either. He mentions a "chresto" which may be a reference to "Christ" ir not.

I think his name was Brian. But real talk, I saw a different mythvision video with Kara Cooney, she mentioned that scene in Life of Brian with all the preachers in the market, which is exactly what I kept picturing as I've been learning more about this. I had a similar upbringing as you, I've been saying he didn't really exist for 20 years now lol

You did no tgrow up Jewish You were brainwahsed and never grew up There is no such thing as a Jew There is no species of human called Jew

So, if Jesus was the King of the Jews, then why dont the Jews celebrate Christ-Mass

Jesus did not exist. There are many characters in Religion, in all books, that did not exist. A Theonym is a name given after a deity that does not exist. A Gospel is a God Spell NOT REALITY A Myth is not real and does not exist IN THE PHYSICAL REALM

Mythicists usually take is a step further, the claim is that not only Jesus but all of religion as in all religions are somehow questionable to the point of being "fraud". Most Mythicists are usually also atheists as in God does not exist. Not sure where you stand with God and religion (excluding some saviour, messiah)

that's quite an original analogy :-)

Why would they go up to the tomb knowing there was a stone placed in front of it? Yeah, they were as stupid as the people that wrote this.

@@amandasunshine2 i disagree. "belief" as commonly abused in the religious apologetics sense, amounts to a SUBSTITUTE for objective evidence. Moreover there is this classically-human trait where we "believe" something and desperately cling to it even when encountering rather obvious contrary evidence. a So instead, we discard the evidence or come up with some elaborate story where we justify discarding or ignoring it. For example "it's from the devil" regardless of whether it has any substance or not.

Gerald McFarlin Not true, there is always one truth in which all others borrowed from. Isaiah 44:6 "Thus says the LORD, the King of Israel, and his Redeemer, the LORD of hosts: 'I am the First and I am the Last; Besides Me there is no God.' Logically, the First has no father and the Last has no son. Logically.

Gerald McFarlin My belief in God does not come from Google, nor from belief systems that have no eyewitnesses to their accounts. The only one who has eyewitnesses is the God of Israel and His chosen servant Israel. These eyewitnesses, that the God of Israel declared on Mt.Sinai over 3,300 years ago to over 1.6 million individuals known as the children of Israel all at once heard God and did not see any form. After God spoke of a portion of the 613 commandments, God's eyewitnesses became too fearful. Deuteronomy 20:18 "Now all the people witnessed the thunderings, the lightening flashes, the sound of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking; and when the people saw it, they trembled and stood afar off." Then they said to Moses, "You speak with us, and we will hear; but let not God speak with us, lest we die." And Moses said to the people, "Do not fear; for God has come to test you, and that His fear may be before you, so you may not sin." Isaiah 43:10 "You are My witnesses," says the Lord, "and My servant whom I have chosen, that you may know and believe Me, and understand that I am He. Before Me there was no God formed, nor shall there be after Me. I, even I, am the Lord, and besides Me there is no savior." Nobody in the history of the world has ever made a claim that an entire nation claimed that God spoke to them as a whole, all at the same time. And nobody else will until the entire world witnesses the Almighty God of Israel and causes the entire world to tremble and fear. What I find strange and sad at the same time is, your comment suggests that you haven't established any kind of relationship with God, other than the human emotions that are within you, although you don't acknowledge them as such. Because once you acknowledge that there is a God, the God Israel, you begin a relationship with God. Even a Christian achieves this, but unfortunately, not a proper relationship with God, because they instead are kissing God through a pillow case and have a mistress on the side. Big mistake. You, on the other hand, have yet to establish much of any kind of relationship with God, which means you are not getting the necessary nutrition that enriches the body and soul, especially when you need it most. You, instead, are relying on your own thoughts and ideas, as well as others ideas, which means you can't even think for yourself. You have no trust in God, therefore you value information based on others practices, instead of relying on your intuition, your soul, guided by the Creator of all things. Instead of seeking a proper relationship with God, no matter the level of the relationship, you would rather trust in what man thinks, instead of what actually those men had gotten their inspiration from. Because it had to come from somewhere. What you don't realize is, their own ideas where sparked from an original source, which also came from another source and so on, until the actual original source comes back to the Creator, the Maker, the God of Jewish Bible. To go through life without the experience of having God by your side during your life, your family, the deaths of your family, the birth of a child within the family, the trials and tribulations of life, would then be cheating yourself and others around you of understanding fully the meaning of life. The way God intended it to be. God gave us the freedom to experience anything we want, including the consequences for making the wrong choices in life. Through trial and error we learn. But we must also experience death, and the deaths of those around us. Having a proper relationship with the God of Israel, provides comfort and assurance, shelter and protection, unlike any other. When you are right with God, from (gained knowledge of God, repentance and charity) nothing else compares, it then becomes overwhelming and without a doubt that the God of Israel is for real. And guess what. Everyone on earth will experience this, even those like yourself who are obviously in denial. Because everyone at one point in their lives was in denial, even for a split second. Denying God, is claiming that good and evil doesn't exist. That good eventually doesn't overcome evil. That nature and all living things don't have God given instincts to be what they are and do what they do. And that the elements don't follow the commands of God and move the earth or provide to the earth and man. There will come a time when you will call out to God. That's why it's important to establish a proper relationship with God now, before it's too late, and your body, now has become only the soul, and has trouble knowing what to do from the manual God has left behind. Shalom

Gerald McFarlin I'm aware that you rely on false information and have no idea what you are talking about. For example, you cannot claim that you know what it's like to have relations with a woman if you, yourself have never had a relationship with a woman. Instead, all your claims come from other sources that claim that they know what it's like to have a relationship with a woman. But not even the woman you happen to be with. Do you have any idea how nonsensical you sound? Do you even realize that every naysayer throughout the history of mankind was indeed proven wrong? You are so delusional to the point that you even think that having a relationship with God comes from religions and or a book. Sorry to tell you brother, but God and His commands were present way before books were invented, and way before any collective religion was amassed. Otherwise, you would have to explain to me what Cain did wrong with Able? Are you aware of Cain and Able, and the timeframe when this happened? But go ahead, continue to look in all the wrong places. Keep putting yourself through all the rabbit holes until one after another you become more distant from gaining truth. Because they are nothing but dead ends. But I guarantee you, eventually you will be shown the truth. That is, if you never give up. You see, wisdom, true wisdom, comes from those who teach their children well, and who pass the knowledge of God down from generation to generation. Word of mouth, based on their own experiences with God. Hence, Gods eyewitnesses. Deuteronomy 11:18-19 "Therefore you shall lay up these words of mine in your heart and in your soul, and bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. You shall teach them to your children, speaking of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up." When you speak of the things you are claiming, it suggests that your parents didn't teach you well, nor did their parents, or neither of you chose to pay attention, not even enough for you to seek answers in all claims, and most importantly, putting them to test. Because, otherwise, all you are doing is satisfying your own ideas, your own neglected thoughts, which is meaningless without God in your life. Return to God all you ends of the earth! Shalom

@@mikesomerset6338 After reading Myth of Persecution by Candida Moss I got an other idea: She pointed out the simularities between the death of Socrates and Eleazar the Schribe on one side and the death of Jesus on the other side. Could it have been the Gospel writers wanted to provided the Christians with a Martyred Cultural Hero that would outstand the Martyred Cultural Heroes of the Greek and the Jews? Socrates and Eleazar died a martyrs death for their high principles, but as non Christians they could not be used to inspire Christians. Therefor the Christian Martyred Cultural Hero died for an even higher principle then the rather mundane ones other the other two, he died for the salvation of all humankind. Where the martyrdeath of Socrates and Eleazar does not pay much attention to the biography of both, the Christan martyrdeath thinks to strenghen the story with all kinds of biographical items that are in their inaccuracy more confusing then clarifying. A mix of OT quotemining, hearsay, borrowed stories and campfire gossip and you could probably build a modest shed with the wood that was needed to crucify all kind of troublemakers named Jesus. It was a very common name and troubles always occured during the three pelgrimage festivals.

Good point. Realistically, one wouldn't do that, of course. I remember reading there is something from scripture (Psalms) that says the savior's body shall not experience corruption, so it must be anointed. This also plays into the idea that one must wait 3 days upon death to make sure the person is really dead. Apparently, a human is still recognizable for up to 3 days, then decays very rapidly. The spices had to be applied certainly within the 3 day period. All this sort of avoids the issue of why was the stone rolled into place anyway when Jesus' body was going to be anointed 3 days later? Didn't the women approaching the tomb know that the stone was in place and they would not be strong enough to move it? And, also, didn't Jesus (body and all) immediately descend to the underworld and preach to the dead? So he wouldn't have been there anyway. Of course, the women would not have known that. They were just there to anoint the body. The whole incident, as described, tends to break down the more it is examined. Interesting point though. Was it true, in general, during that time period when someone died they were kept in the home for 3 days to make sure they were dead?

Derek Allen - You are right. Do you know why incense was put on the body? So that is did not stink in the home of the deceased. So no one did go to any grave and undig people to do that.

The only gospel that fixes this mistake is the Gospel of John.

The empty tomb is clearly b.s. The only reason they have women going back there was so the reader could find out Jesus was gone. They also have Jesus taken down early because of Passover? Since when did the Romans give two shits about dissident Jews and their holidays? They didn't run the show the Romans did. Jesus would have been left on the cross for the scavengers.

Till 325 AD, not a single historian or writer wrote about Jesus Christ or any of his disciples . BEFORE THE FIRST COUNCIL OF NICEA IN 325 AD, NOBODY ON THIS PLANET EVER HEARD OF THE NAMES JESUS CHRIST OR CHRISTIANITY. JESUS/ BIBLE / CHRISTIANTY WAS COOKED UP IN 325 AD, BY JEWESS HELENA , WHO SAT ON THE POPE'S CHAIR.. The dead sea scrolls covering the period from Birth of Jesus to 68 AD , does NOT say one word about Jesus or his 12 Apostles. Hellenistic philosopher Philo Judaeus of Alexandria (20 BCE-50 AD/CE)-alive at the purported time of Jesus, and one of the wealthiest and best connected citizens of the Empire- makes no mention of Christ, Christians or Christianity in his voluminous writings. Nor do any of the hundreds of other historians and writers who flourished during the first THREE centuries of the common era. The DEAD SEA SCROLLS were all written by Pagan Essenes . None of them have been edited by later Christians, as is the case with some other Jewish literature. All the scrolls (except a treasure map known as the Copper Scroll) can be dated prior to A.D. 68 or 69, when the Qumran settlement was believed to have been destroyed by the Romans in the Jewish revolt. The oldest of the scrolls probably goes back to the middle of the third century B.C. The people of Qumran belonged to a Pagan religious group known as the Essenes. Pliny the Elder, who died during the volcanic destruction of Pompeii in the year 79 A.D., described a community of pagan Essenes living on the western shore of the Dead Sea, close to where Khirbet Qumran is situated. John the Baptist was an ascetic Essene . He was a vegan and was uncircumcised . Various literary sources like Josephus and Philo tell clearly that Essenes were ascetics. We also know, from literary testimony, the Dead Sea Scrolls, and the archaeological remains of Qumran, that the Essenes practiced many water baptisms for ritual purification-similar to a dip in the Ganges or the river Pampa or at Thiirunelli. At Qumran, however, all members of the community were baptized with water for ritual purification. Josephus writes, "And as for their piety towards God, it is very extraordinary; for before sunrising they speak not a word about profane matters, but put up certain prayers which they have received from their forefathers, as if they made a supplication for its rising" (Wars, 2.8.5). This testimony accords well with what we know from the Dead Sea Scrolls. Prayer and humility was one thing that the Essenes . When they cooked up stories about Jesus they wrote that Jesus Christ ate the Last Supper in the Essene part of town. Jesus is not historical character, The Dead Sea Scrolls have produced increasing evidence to cement the fact that Jesus Christ never existed and the whole story was cooked up at the First Council of Nicea in 325 AD. The FAKE gospels were written after 325 AD after Jesus was cooked up at the first Council of Nicea.. Twelve apostles of Jesus never existed. Jesus Christ names 12 apostles to spread his gospel, and the early Christian church owes its rapid rise to their missionary zeal. Yet, for most of the Twelve, there's scant evidence of their existence outside of the New Testament. The concept of using statistics to prove that 'God authored the Bible' is bullshit. Why was the library of Alexandria burnt ? The gospel of Thomas was not written by Jesus' disciple Thomas. Englishman Godfrey Higgins studied Greek, Latin and law at Cambridge . His two-volume, 867-page book Anacalypsis: An Enquiry into the Origins of Languages, Nations, and Religions, was published posthumously in 1836. In his treatise, Higgins writes " the mythos of the Jews and the mythos of the Greeks are all at bottom the same lifted from the ancient mythos of Hindus ; and ... are contrivances under the appearance of histories to perpetuate doctrines," and that Christian editors “either from roguery or folly, corrupted them all.” 1900, Scottish MP John Mackinnon Robertson wrote that Jesus never existed but was an FAKE invention by a first-century messianic cult. He wrote about the First Council of Nicea of 325 AD where powerful forces invented a new god to fit the needs of the society of the time .Robertson specifically mentions the Talmudic story of the Yeshu . Thomas says: "Simon Peter said to them, ‘Make Mary leave us, for females don’t deserve life.’ Jesus said, ‘Look, I will guide her to make her male, so that she too may become a living spirit resembling you males. For every female who makes herself male will enter the kingdom of heaven’" (Thomas 114). AIYOOOOO -even Christians don’t like this When the master of James baby Jesus Christ never existed -- how can his disciple St James exist ? Even since the dead sea scrolls have been discovered CHRISTIANS and JEWS are jumping up and down like demented orangutans claiming that Essenes belong to them. Dead Sea text or Qumran Scrolls have absolutely nothing ZILCH, to do with the Bible of the Torah - never mind the diabolical lies of the Christians and the Jews. For arguments sake -even if messiah Jesus Christ existed , the gospels were written a even a century after Jesus' estimated year of death, by individuals who never met Jesus, and then were edited or forged over the centuries by unknown scribes with their own agendas.

Erhman's book on the historicity of Jesus failed miserably because he used dubious unproven sources and made assumptions. So you can ask him what he thinks of Fitzgerald's ideas, but Erhman has nothing with which to refute them.

I agree, his whole argument rests on the fact that the evidence we have is mythologised. But that doesn’t automatically mean it was fabricated. Historians generally don’t just look at direct evidence because often there isn’t much. They have to infer from the sources they do have what the like possibility of events were. It is a fact that Jesus became popular shortly after his death, I think Fitzgerald claimed that all the christian sources we have were written “generations” after Jesus’ life, but the letters of Paul were written on 20-30 years after his death (if we assume he died some time around 30ad). Paul talks about a movement of Jesus followers throughout the Middle-East at that time, from that historians infer that Jesus was a real popular religious figure who was probably executed leading to a movement that spread across the mediterranean to Paul who wrote the stories he heard down. The thing non-historians don’t get about history is that it doesn’t always have definite answers, and real historians wouldn’t rely on an absence of evidence to prove that something definitely didn’t happen. There was no evidence for the city of Troy besides in the mythological writings of Homer until it was discovered in the 19th century. It’s always good to be sceptical of anyone claiming to know the absolute truth about ancient history because most of the time the evidence is incomplete or in the case of written documents wrapped in layers of mythology, bias and cultural traditions foreign to us now. Especially be sceptical of a self proclaimed “atheist activist” claiming historians are wrong about Jesus, just as you’d be sceptical of a devout Christian saying the same thing.

@@druidriley3163Fitzgerald’s argument doesn’t actually disprove the existence of Jesus, it just points out the lack of non-christian sources and uses the fact that the New Testament contains fabrication and mythological themes to “prove” that the entire story was dreamt up. While the evidence that Jesus was a real historical figure is admittedly lacking that doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be used as evidence. Most written sources historians use have bias, inaccuracies and fabrication. That doesn’t always mean that they are useless sources that can’t tell us something about the past. While the Gospels and Letters of Paul obviously contain inaccuracies and bias toward a mythologised view of Jesus that doesn’t automatically prove that they weren’t talking about a real historical person. He talks about how other religious ideas are provably false and therefore pure mythology, at one point bringing up the story of Moses. The big difference he ignores between Moses and Jesus are that the Books of Moses (Genesis, Exodus, etc) first appear in writing 750-1000 years after the time the story portrays, this is much more time for the story to become distorted into fiction through oral retelling than the 20-30 years between the death of Jesus and the first written source (The Letters of Paul). While credible historians like Ehrman don’t accept the possibility of water-walking abilities and resurrection they do accept the possibility of Jesus’ existence as a religious leader who people during or shortly after believed was the Messiah.

Since the entire description of Hell is entirely contradictory to the understanding of God as an omnipotent, omniscient, omnibenevolent creator (and was invented by a third century Greek monk based on interpretation of Revelation), I’ll take my chances.

If someone believes Christ existed and was God, but then doesn't live a righteous life or have a repentant heart, then even according to the bible his belief is in vain. But if a man who does not believe the bible story is a better person, has a repentant heart, a charitable nature and seeks the truth, abhors lies etc, then you would say nine of that matters? Even christ said "you will know them by their fruits." Who is of God and who is of the devil.

I wish I could get to the point in which I viewed Christianity as fantastical. But it’s what I grew up with. Weird Bible verses help. For example, what was mentioned on this show about Mark 4:11-12. This is basically saying Jesus talks in riddles so that outsiders won’t understand in order to fulfill some prophecy, because otherwise they would understand and be forgiven? ! ? Yeah, but that’s what it says. Not sure how some old prophecy is more important then the central, core idea of Christianity. Besides, almost every religion has its own phasing of the golden rule. Meaning, Christianity doesn’t have a monopoly on ethical behavior in any way, shape, or form. In fact, often the opposite.

As you recognize that the case for existence, though not utterly disproven, would never hold up in a court of law, all sorts or realizations begin to take place. It is a process, from that point, but not a long one. And you're right. The inevitable conclusion is that there is no plausible road back, once the journey has been undertaken. This is the quandary that the various clergies, vastly untrained and unprepared for anything else, face now on an almost daily basis. Stay and lie, or leave and die (figuratively speaking). This is why I despise so-called "bible colleges" and "universities." They charge, in some cases, higher rates than full-fledged teaching institutions, but, in the end, provide absolutely nothing in return. All religion, in the end, is reduced to a scam that is only slightly better than a pyramid scheme. It brings me no joy to recognize this.

@Abraham Mani hahahaha🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Copy and paste comments much haha I guess it’s too hard to think for yourself…which explains why you believe this stuff lol Guess you dig Q and flat earth too eh bro? Lol

@@travisjazzbo3490 I’ve read it twice now. Stilllllll on Carrier’s OTHOJ. I’ve read a few chapters several times. But getting from start to finish is taking time because keep going down rabbit holes. Can’t get enough of this stuff!! Next up will be Mything in Action

@@skepticalCoder Wow! Tackling Carrier! Unfortunately because of the trillions of dollars tied up in there being a 'historical Jesus', for no good reasons apparently, Carrier will not get his JUST DUE on this subject for decades. Congratulations for immersing yourself in this! Pretty amazing what we were brought up to believe mainly because of the BIG BUSINESS that is modern religion... Just crazy

Ya great communicator. The only problem is its ties to the "jesus invented by the romans" theory...

I follow Mr Humphreys' work too.... big admirer!! 👏

@@lunarmodule6419 It's not quite as implausible as it sounds.

Ken is the best. I love his attitude

@@lunarmodule6419 absolutely invented by the Romans lol

Wow, very telling

I need to see the sources of this. I would love to read how it went doen

apparently some oath like that, was required by catholic orders before being invested with priest status. you had to promise that whatever you read in the way of "scripture" would never be interpreted in a way inconsistent with the church's (read: holy see in rome) official statement about what it meant. hence the roman church has complete "explanation" texts that go with their version of the bible, where official explanations are provided. I gather the offical term for which might be "verbum dei" which up to now I thought meant something more generally liturgical but possibly not. there is no concept of "thinking this stuff thru on your own" rather the latter notion sort of sprang up among lutherans. Which is just one MORE of the long line of reasons that the roman church excommunicated martin luther and his followers.

How long do you think that author would live?

I have seen one. On TV though. It is fascinating. Mohammed was a historical figure, a military leader, who converted people to Abrahamic monotheism and recruited the converts to an army. Zayd ibn Thabit who first wrote the Koran down about 1400 years ago (it was just an oral tradition before that) was overseen by a Committee. The descriptions of places and journeys in the Koran don't tie in with the actual geography of the area so may have been misnamed or mislocated. Many of the events occurred hundreds of years before the Koran was written so that seems plausible. There were several versions before it was written down so there are bound to be inaccuracies. The Angel Gabriel spoke to Mohammed when he was 40 and he died at 60. He packed a lot into those 20 years.

@@steve8551 there are many authors and RU-vidrs that do this and are still alive.

Just like Christianity was institutionalized by Romans/Constantine, same thing happened under the Ummayads & the predominantly Persian Abbasids. The hadiths (canonised about ~200 years later & back projected, no original manuscripts) are full of forgery & polemics from Persian, Jewish & Christian subjects & their counter narratives. Recently, there has been an increase in "sola scriptura Muslims" challenging the validity of the tradition. Even the monarch of Saudi Arabia came forward & said he will be reforming the legal system which is based on these spurious narrations. Eisenman briefly draws parallels with early Jewish "Christianity" of Jerusalem headed by James & the dispersed wilderness camps with Islam. Fred Donner says it was a ecumenical monotheist movement before "Muslim" became separate a group identity. Also, there are scholars in the Muslim world who are decades ahead of what is just being uncovered here in the West. They are limited by the language barrier, poor reach & censorship in many places. It's gonna' open up alot more in the coming decades & from what I've seen it's for the better for everyone involved. Archaeological digs in Arabia are going to challenge alot of narratives about Moses, Abraham, Noah as well. The locals claim they've always known this that they were here once. Fascinating stuff.

links please. Also, how long would "the Romans" be planning to pay "[various numbers of] tomb guards" for? What a ridiculous premise.

I mean he kinda did, but they were all over the place.

@@letsomethingshine I know... "Guards! Make sure you defend (with your life) the tomb of this disgraced humiliated defiled publically executed enemy of the state..... (that we would normally hurl into an anonymous mass grave) .... we can't allow ANYONE to desecrate his opulent spacious super-deluxe resting place. We will spare no expense in assuring this. Right .... I'm sure that happened.

He did talk about the content. Weren't you listening? As one who has read that book, I can tell you that he did. Book interviews never entrail a point-by-point plot or content, they tease because the point is for YOU to buy the book and read it for yourself.

@@letsomethingshine LInks to what? Do you mean "citations?" The book has them in print. Romans soldiers were always paid. So they pretend that Roman authorities had to guard against any vandalism or theft of the body because, what, stealing bodies from tombs was a common Jewish practice? It's a very funny premise, worthy of a Monty Python skit. Any misunderstanding of such detail doesn't touch the premise of anything regarding the lack of history regarding the Gospels or Christianity. This is a good example of the tangle Christians try to create when writers are going through the claims and doctrine in the Bible itself. I like to preface any discussion of the material by prefacing it with the now undeniable lack of evidence in the entire universe for any god or supernatural cause via astrophysics. There is no evidence for any god means that the discussion of the myth is just that, a discussion of mythology that parades itself as historical fact. As Fitzgerald points out, a flaw in the argument is not evidence for God, nor is a quote inside the Bible proof of Biblical claims. That constitutes circular logic.

It’s accepted by most scholars that Josephus was forged/edited just look it up. Tacitus on the other hand was written 25 years after the fact, and a few scholar question his writings, for example why would he call Pontus Pilatus a Prefect rather than a Procurator which he was at that time ? As for Suetonius he spoke in general about Christians and not Jesus in particular. Now firstly the name Jesus was extremely common during that time so which Jesus are we talking about ? Secondly if there existed a Jesus of the bible he probably was a regular person a little deranged that wanted to start a new religious cult/following, we’ve seen it in the past and are still seeing it today with Evangelicals. Look at it this way if all the extraordinary events described in the New Testament about Jesus were true there would be hundreds of accounts written about him from historians all over Europe and the middle east, but that’s not the case at all, is it ?? And thirdly as for Pontius Pilatus not wanting to crucify Jesus because he could not find any guilt in him, that’s bull ! We know that Pilatus was a ruthless, and cruel man, his main responsibility is keep the peace at all costs, and would not think twice about executing anyone in a heart beat that would create an uprising. You don’t get that position as Procurator of Judea by being a nice person as mentioned in the Bible. I can go on for hours with this….

I also just saw a nice video from JesusNeverExistd, "Jesus in Wonderland" about how the "Q" document or just Mark if its an original (and other gospels) seem to make up a lot of places Jesus performed miracles and AVOIDED the large cities with scribes available to give evidence of Muslim or Christians "miracles."

you are very funny, I am born a Jew taught to hate Jesus. How can you hate someone who never existed? In time Jesus revealed His love for me and i repented of my sins and asked Him to be my best friend. I wept when He entered my heart for joy and for sorrow for my past. the point is now Jesus is my best personal friend, but once I was like you yet I never denied the reality of His existence. thanks for your opinion

@@davidisrael9412 Well David I assume you meant your comment for me. I bet I am not alone when I say that your experience is exactly like the ones most of us had. I have no need to explain. If it makes you happy then I am glad for you. Have you read any of Frizgerld's books? If not why are you here? Read a couple you might discover something you didn't know. Not that it matters but I remember having the same sensation the moment I realized it was all hooey. Anyway good luck to you. Oh and I am glad you think I am funny. I try😁

@@bruscifer you are a dear heart as we all are to the one who cares the most for us., and kind towards me, thank you Bruce.

@@letsomethingshine yep, ONE advantage of addressing illiterate agrarian audiences (especially lower middle class by common-era-levant standards) is that random people are unlikely to challenge your sermonizing with a more accurate version of an eyewitness account of some event you might be claiming to know all about.

Stupid is a superpower.

They are missing the fact that Lincoln actually wrote stuff while Jesus has no writings.

@@shroud1390 and there are photographs of Lincoln.

Yes while many or mostly all worldly cultural "religions" are embellished with a lot of unbelievable stories, 4999-600bc, the Buddha, Shakyamuni, or Siddhartha Gautama was an enlightened man who ONLY started a SCHOOL for LIVING IN HARMONY by way of MEDITATION, TRUTH, DISCIPLINES, in our daily lives. He DID NOT teach any kind of religion, nor about any gods, or god. Leaving those topics totally up the individuals personal interests. It was the people of BHARAT(India) who deified him as an Avatar of Vishnu, making him just another god out of their thousands. Something that Great Teacher(Buddha) would be shocked to know, since he was against any person, no matter how gifted in abilities, SHOULD NEVER CALL THEMSELF A god. Biggest crime of the ancient Nephilim Cult followers of the ancients and present times.

I agree: The churches have been making money off the gullibility of believers for centuries. A rationale look at the ridiculous tales they've told would do us all so much good (and bankrupt those frauds). That's who you were talking about, right?

@@patrick764 well, when it comes down to whose facts am I going to believe, between you and hundreds of historians and witness accounts, no I don’t think we agree. Sure, many religious institutions and leaders have made money and big errors, but for you to pretend certain people never lived or certain acts never occurred, after hundreds or thousands of witnesses tell us differently, you are simply trying to convince yourself of a convenient narrative.

they had strong writers union rules back in those days, you could get stoned if you included information about other journalists.

@@HarryNicNicholas : They say the bible was written over many centuries by different authors and it was still consistent. How did they do this?

@@anonymousjohnson976 because they read the writings before them? Book of Isaiah, Daniel for example have more than 1 author. The jewsh scribes were in Babylon were they had access to ancient myths and cuneiform tablets which they read and made their own scripture of it. The Bible cannon was found on clay tablets in two places, in Nineveh and Nippur which contains pre flood stories such as story of creation kain and Abel the garden of Eden etc. Believe or not this world was controlled by the Archons (gods aka elohim)thats why they care of bloodlines throughout the Bible so they can still rule by their descendants. We will find out the truth one day Peace

End of the day semites were from sumer. Period

@@gyulaborzasi343 : So, the bible is pretty much plagiarized.

@PrestonSartorius If we remove all the supernatural elements, the passages which we know were added later, place all the contradictions in red, remove the bad historical data (the fake census, and Quirinus) including the entire passage of Jesus having a conversation in Greek with Nicodemus (John Chapter 3) and all other disputable passages, what is it we are actually left with? A nobody that was mythicised by Greek speaking Christians? And this still doesn't really prove that he existed. The only passage that gives me pause for thought, is the labour involved in having Jesus born in Bethlehem rather than his parents home village (or hamlet) of Nazareth.

@PrestonSartorius No and yes! The authors of Matthew and Luke had to have Jesus fulfill Messianic prophecy for according to Micah 5: 1-2 the Jewish Messiah will come from Bethlehem, from the seed of David. And because of this link to the House of David, this is why Matthew and Luke both created a genealogy as well, linking Jesus to the House of David, even though their lineages go through Joseph (according to Christian scripture, isn't a blood relation of Jesus, as Jesus has no earthly father), and the genealogies don't properly match up with each other.

@@mephistophelean WRT "...what is it we are actually left with? A nobody that was mythicised by Greek speaking Christians? And this still doesn't really prove that he existed. ..." and of course we all KNOW that greeks never invented any myths, so we can be very confident that they were strictly about objectively provable evidence.

@@tracyavent-costanza346 Is that a rebuttal to my posts ? Because I don't see how it is, because I do believe that the Jesus that Christians believe in is 100 percent myth, and that I'm happy to accept the view that there was never a historical Jesus that was later mythicised into being God.

@@mephistophelean no, you may regard my comments as directed toward those who claim that these narratives are somehow factual. Neither you nor I buy that notion and I suspect you are also aware that stories get better with the telling.
