Proof Romans Invented Jesus Christ - The Flavian Signature 

I always suspected Roman involvement in this matter when I was a kid forced to read this stuff. Things never added up. Maybe this is one reason why I never was religious.

Unfortunately, it's always been far easier to deceive people, than it is to get them to later admit that they've been deceived.

Even if the pope and Vatican came out and said " Christianity and Jesus was a fabrication." Then laid out the history of it to show the way it was fabricated, I feel people would still cling to it like a safety blanket. That would put every pastor, church, etc....out of business. They would just say the evidence is false and then double down on faith.

First Century Christian books that tell us about Jesus: (1) Didache or Doctrine of the Twelve Apostles which all date around 70 AD; (2) Letter of Clement to the Corinthians (third successor of Peter and writes in 96 AD); (3) The letters of Ignatius of Antioch who was bishop from 70 to 107 AD. Note: (a) the whole of the literary tradition of the age of the Roman Empire up to the times of Tacitus and Suetonius has been lost; (b) in the Annals of Tacitus, one of the few works that have come down to us, the books of the period 29-32 AD are missing and the story of book 16 stops in the year 66 AD; (c) - the mass destruction carried out by Vespasian and then by Hadrian swept away all the archives of Jerusalem, therefore all the public documents including the trial and condemnation of Jesus, just as the archives of the Empire in Rome were destroyed in the repeated fires that occurred on the Capitol between AD 69 and 83. Having made this premise, we would expect that 'nothing' had come to us from the pagans of that historical period; but it is not so: - Tacitus (54-119), in the Annals, fire of Rome 64 AD: "Therefore, in order to put an end to this rumor, Nero invented guilty people and subjected to very refined punishments those whom the mob, detesting them because of their atrocities, he called Christians. The origin of this name was Christ, who under the empire of Tiberius had been condemned to execution by the procurator Pontius Pilate; and, momentarily dormant, this lethal superstition spread again, not only through Judea, the hearth of that disease, but also Rome ...". Tacitus did not write by hearsay, he obtained this information either from documents of the Senate or from the Consul Cluvium in function under Caligula. - The "Jesus case" arrives in the Senate of Rome in the year 35 AD, a few months after the execution of Christ, Pilate, Caiaphas and all the characters are still alive. He arrives there since Tiberius asked the Senate to legitimize the new "Christian" religion and therefore to recognize that Jesus as "god", eventually, legitimizing this new Jewish heresy was part of the imperial approach that had already been practiced with the Samaritans to emancipate them from guardianship Judaica and retain them in Rome. How does Sardis reach us, through Justin of Nablus who writes around 150 AD that there was a report from Pilate to Tiberius on the story of Jesus for which he referred his contemporaries to the imperial archives. Pilate then testified about the slain Galilean on the evening of April 7, AD30. - Tertullian in 197 AD reports "under whose reign [Tiberius] the Christian name made its entry into the world ... transmitted to the Senate, giving his first favorable vote, all that had been communicated to him from Syria Palestine and that demonstrated the truth about the divinity of Jesus. The Senate, not having itself verified these facts, voted against." for unlawful superstition. Tiberius also mocks the context, finding absurd the pagan idea that a god without the favorable vote of man would not have been such. - After the rejection of the Senate "Tiberius sent his legate Lucius Vitellius to the East with full powers, who in 36-37 deposed Caiaphas, the High Priest who presided over the Sanhedrin when Jesus was condemned to death, and recalled Pilate to Rome, as attested by the Jewish historian of the time Flavius Josephus (ant. Giud. XVIII, 89-90, 122) and also by Eastern sources independent of Tertullian.... And the Successor of Pilate deposed by Vitellius by order of Tiberius, Marcellus, it has the same name as the senator who would have hosted St. Peter in Rome according to the Acts of Peter, fol. 8 ss, an apocrypha of the 2nd century which however is based on ancient legends." - Abgar, Middle Eastern king allied with Rome. Letter exchange between Tiberius and Abgar known as the Black, datable to the year 36, "Abgar exhorts Tiberius to intervene against the Jews, to punish those responsible for the crucifixion of Christ, and Tiberius replies that he has already deposed Pilate and promises to take further measures against the Jews once the problems with the sons of Spain had been settled..." deeds deposited in the Royal Archives of Edessa, capital of Osroene (Syria). - Edict of Nero, found in Nazareth in 1878, marble stele 61 cm high, 38 wide, 22 lines, called diàtagma Ka (62 AD): "Edict of Caesar. It is my will that the sepulchres and tombs, of any type, made out of religious respect for ancestors, or children or relatives - remain inviolate forever. placed, thus offending the deceased themselves, or have moved the slabs or tombstones, against such persons I order that a trial be held, as one does - for contempt of the gods - against anyone who worships a human being. there is greater respect for the deceased. That absolutely no one is allowed to move the bodies that are buried. But if anyone does so, I order that the offender be sentenced to capital punishment on the charge of trespassing on tombs." Outrage to the gods, peri theon, de diis principal charge against the Christian hominis cultores. - The darkening of the sky at the death of Christ, Thallus, Samaritan freedman according to Flavius speaks of it, but the text has disappeared, Sextus Julius Africanus (50 AD) mentions it but this text has also been lost but is quoted in a work later, Giulio Africanus demonstrated how the naturalistic interpretation was wrong since there were no eclipses in the periods of full moon (Passover when Jesus was crucified); it is therefore spoken of at the level of the imperial court - Mara Bar Separion, Syriac Stoic of the 1st century "What benefit did the Athenians derive from the death sentence of Socrates, a crime they had to pay with famine and plague? Or those of Samos from having burned Pythagoras, since then Was their country in a moment buried by the sands? Or the Jews by the execution of their wise King, for they were despoiled of their kingdom from that time? In Justice God took vengeance on those three wise men. The Athenians died of hunger; those of Samos were submerged by the sea; the Jews were killed and driven from their land they live scattered everywhere. Socrates is not dead, thanks to Plato; nor Pythagoras, because of his statue of Hera; nor the wise King, thanks to the new teaching that he had imparted" - Flavius Josephus, Jewish Antiquities (18, 63-64), 93 AD, "Jesus lived in this time, a wise man, even if he is to be called a man. In fact, he performed extraordinary works and was the teacher of men who joyfully welcome the truth, and so he drew many Jews and also many Greeks to himself. He was the Christ. Even when, in denunciation of those among us who are the leaders, Pilate had him crucified, those who had loved him before did not stop loving him He appeared to them on the third day alive again, according to what the prophets had foretold about him all this and a thousand other wonders. To this day there is still the genus of those who have taken the name Christians from him." Flavio was born in 37, of a priestly family on his father's side and royal on his mother's side, this means that his relatives had been present during the vicissitudes of Christ, the text however was contested by the genius of Voltaire, therefore . .. - 1971, prof. Shlomo Pines Hebrew University of Jerusalem, 10th century Arabic codex, the Universal History of Agapius, bishop of Hierapolis, Syria, different version of the passage from Flavius: "At this time there lived a wise man Jesus. His conduct was good and was esteemed for his virtue. Many were those, among the Jews and other nations, who became his disciples. Pilate condemned him to be crucified and to die. But those who had become his disciples did not stop following his teaching. They reported that it had appeared to them three days after his crucifixion and that he was alive. Perhaps that is why he was the Messiah of whom the prophets have told marvels. You've been telling imbecility for 2000 years, please, stop the idiocracy.

I have been watching a lot of videos related to this subject. His step by step comparison has been one of the clearest I have watched.

Whether this is true or not. As Mark Twain said, It's easier to fool people than it is to convince them that they have been fooled.

Typology isn't a type of literature. It's a form of interpretation of the Bible.

they never described Jerusalem neither when talk about Egypt where they never mention the pyramid something that u can't missed.

What he's talking about adds up but I was brought up in Roman Catholic school and church and I admit that I'm brainwashed and it's hard to believe the truth

"You see this when..." "May Scholars have...." "If you read here...." "Note how...." Yet nothing shown on screen, no verses, no writings, no excerpts, no page numbers, no passages, no citations, no nothing.

The world would be a much different place if mankind could understand these truths hidden from them for centuries.

I think the Flavian's were sponsors, but it was Josephus who was the mastermind.

Joe has put up with dozens and dozens of both secular biblical scholars, and Christian scholars whom have labeled him and his brilliant hypothesis as crazy... With most of them never having even read or studied his work... But now some years later , and after all these years his work has become groundbreaking, and many of his ideas have come to be accepted ... great job. Joseph Atwill...!!! 👍

Very great research with enormously significant implications. To a rational person, it is easy to be convinced that all religions have been made by human society and political entities but your research takes us one major step a head in the case of Christianity. Thanks for sharing with the world!

I hope your right as for me ill believe in Jesus Christ!

In 1972, on one of my first days in school, my father asked me what I had learned in the morning. So I told him that the teacher had told us the story of the good Samaritan. "Always remember," my dad then said, "these are all nice stories, but they are just that, stories. None of that really happened." And thus I was blessed to grow up in the absence of the lord.

Believe in the LORD JESUS CHRIST and be saved 🙏

What about another explanation, since the gospels were happening around 40 years earlier, if Titus was aware of them, which he most likely was, he instructed Josephus to make a mockery out of it by having his military campaign in the same order written down. This is much more likely he used mockery of scriptures like „I make you fishers of men“ when he stood at the lake of Galilee by using this peaceful sentence and making something really bloody out of it.

AND ROME STILL REMAINS IN POWER

It has become So clear to me now. The Flavians Did invent Christianity!!!, I see how the predicted everything, by just back dating Jesus’ (Titus’s ) Predictions!!!! So Clear

if flavian invented the gospel, then they had the ability to change the calendar system. yet, the anno domini (AD) was not changed until 525 AD, not around 90 AD

This statement only begs the question: Why then did the Romans persecute the Christians then?

The Tanak is the truth and all praise goes to the most high YAH

Believing in anything you want to believe in has been the easiest. But the most difficult part is letting go. Letting go of those lies that we once held dearly in our hearts to be the truth. Hard to let go when those lies have been the foundation that we built our principles and values on. And while all that is swirling in your head, you suddenly become overwhelmed with the sense of betrayal because the truth actually does hurt. The truth hurts because the truth is a lie being exposed.

Virgin births go well back into Egypt, also. Neat trick. See John Lamb Lash "Not In His Image"

One of the big arguments this guy makes is that Jesus is too similiar to Moses, but in Duet. 18: 15-19 God says he will raise up a prophet like Moses. I don't see how any of the other prophets could've met the same amount of criteria as Jesus did. On top of that, Atwill here gives converting the Jews to a pacifistic religion as a motive for making Jesus up, but the new testament put Jews as the people who handed Jesus (who according to the new testament itself is God incarnated) over to the Romans for the expressed purpose of having him slain. This would mean the Romans are trying to pacify the Jews by effectively saying "Hey, both our people put your God to an extremely painful and humiiating death, wanna bond over that?". That sounds like a hard sell chief. I don't think anyone is going to try and sell people on, "Hey, you're terrible, I'm terrible, wanna pay taxes?"

The first letters of Paul are dated to the 50's far before the Flavians ever came to power.

There are many NDE experiences where they did not see a Jesus . They see their loved ones, etc. They claim to see a light and an intense feeling of oneness with all and immense love. Other cultures see their god, not Jesus The key is near death ..not dead. Claims are not proof.

This would explain why the time-line is so screwed up - I think it's possible Josephus Flavius also wrote under the pen name, the Apostle Paul. This character Paul invented Christianity not Jesus. Atwill is gifted. He should collaborate with Ralph Ellis, a modern day Sherlock Holmes when it comes to Mideast history.

I noticed that Jesus fed 4-5 thousand people and sat them down in groups of 100s n 50s.. Said to the mate that that force is about as big as a roman legion and could give the Romans a great go.. Could the multitude actually be a legion of Titus? After giving the multitude a big morale boosting speech they said he taught them as of one having authority unlike a teacher, sounds like a commander the more I read.

So throughout the matt- flavius connection, is it insinuated by Atwill that some "Flavian book/story " was written way before the book of matthew , thus, matthew is the copy? He doesn't expressly say it. Can someone clarify? To me if they were written at same time or matthew was written before he has no arguement.

Malachi 3:6 says Yahuah does not change and 3:16 mentions “the book of remembrance or a cepher of record was written”. Then these devils named it old testament and created a new testament…

After doing a quick google of Josephus and his life it seems very likely that the wiring-together was the other way around. Also Christianity was a thing before Josephus started writing.

The Prophet Daniel prophesied about Kingdoms that will take over from each other and Nebuchadnezzar at that time so the Jesus Christ calling Him the Son Of God. Moses, Jeremiah , Isaiah, Ezekiel etc all talked about Him coming before He was manifested. The question is where was caesar's who even didn't exist at that time not even the 1st emperor of rome get the idea of creating a Messiah?

Maybe Jesus is Many myths Combined Sweet Metaphoric Character invented by Romans Based on Julies Ceaser , Alexander, Egyptian Horus, Osiris, Persian mythras,Indian Krishna.

Ah the Chewbaka explanation. Why would a Wookiee, an 8-foot-tall Wookiee, want to live on Endor, with a bunch of 2-foot-tall Ewoks? That does not make sense! But more important, you have to ask yourself: What does this have to do with this case? Nothing. Ladies and gentlemen, it has nothing to do with this case! It does not make sense! Look at me. I'm a lawyer defending a major record company, and I'm talkin' about Chewbacca! Does that make sense? Ladies and gentlemen, I am not making any sense! None of this makes sense! And so you have to remember, when you're in that jury room deliberatin' and conjugatin' the Emancipation Proclamation, does it make sense? No! Ladies and gentlemen of this supposed jury, it does not make sense! If Chewbacca lives on Endor, you must acquit! The defense rests...NOW BUY MY BOOK!!!

since josephus came after jesus.. this seems to prove that these stories of titus were invented to mimic stories of jesus.. making titus seem more badass than he really was.. makes a lot more sense than a tiny roman dynasty inventing jesus that came ~70 years before their dynasty..

I'm late to the party here, but wasn't The Complete Works of Flavius Josephus written after The Gospel of Matthew?

I am a literature major (including the bible as lit) and agree with you 100%

The very first time I read the Bible, I came to the conclusion that someone invented Jesus to get away from a previous rule... I did not grow up steeped in any kind of religion and didn't even know Peter from Paul... so when I read the Bible, it was so obvious to me. This video just made my day. It confirms everything. It's so obvious!!!

Realizing this truth is personal, very few can handle it or even care to look it up. The world has a perfect purpose..😊

People have been hypnotized, nlp'd, mentally controlled, and manipulated, and to believe that after 2000 years some are still in that trance.

For my bible thumpers out there, Jesus said this to his disciples...Matthew 24:5 "For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ and shall deceive many."

An acquaintance and I both used to becin a place of doubt because of all the similarities in the New from the Old Testament. Mature now I can see that reaffirming facts are what you should expect to find and if everything was new and not consistent from the Old that would be a very big issue.

The "suffering servant" (Jesus) in Isaiah 53 totally disproves this hypothesis.

The “why” the Flavians would have done this is the necessary next step in the explanation and the next researcher who takes up this challenge and can popularize his/her work will make a tremendous contribution to understanding the evolution of consciousness. Rather than a mockery or a trick, the creation of a new mythology that could justify the total destruction of the the Temple may have been an urgent imperative if the Roman Empire was financially tied, if not dependent upon, the Mediterranean-wide Jewish trade arbitration colonies established by Greeks and Phoenicians centuries before. Jesus is so clearly the Hercules redeemer figure to begin with, it cheapens his whole deal to try to make him a real, historical figure in the first place, might as well insist “6 days” is 6 days and declare all poetry dead.

"it was the Flavian court who authored the Gospels" *Yet the gospels all the way to Revelation and then reaching ALL the way back 1445 years through Prophetic utterances that the Romans would NOT have known about are 100% synchronous.*

It always blows my mind how even in 2020 people still think religion is real

The narrator here. seems like a nice guy, I listened to nearly the entire presentation. speaking candidly the connections he makes between Titus and Jesus are extremely vague. No hard feelings but what he has presented would not even qualify as bad science. Basically he stared at the sky long enough to see what he wanted to see and made out what he see as a face in the clouds.

"My atheism, like that of Spinoza, is true piety towards the universe and denies only gods fashioned by men in their own image to be servants of their human interests." George Santayana

Isn't it more plausible if Josephus made the mistake of writing "Son" instead of "Stones" that he is the one who copied from the Gospels instead of the other way around? Obviously when he made such a mistake, he was thinking of a "Son" entering the city while writing it, so it would make sense that he had the Gospel story in mind which inspired him while writing and because he had the part of the Son of David entering the city in mind, he would have accidentally written Son instead of Stones. The same is true for other parts you mentioned: For example why would he write that the Romans picked the Jews out of the water "like fish"? Seems to me as if he was trying to copy the story of the Gospel more than the other way around. Why does he describe the Jewish "Legion" (why that word) as having a "demonic spirit"? That seems to also have been copied rather than the other way around. Then you even mentioned that Josephus even has a character called Jesus who makes woes which is obviously also copied from the Gospels... How can one still assume that the Gospels were copied and not the story of Josephus if he looks at it objectively? Again, like the guy in the video admits, it is unclear as to why Josephus would make the mistake to write "The Son cometh". Do you really believe that the whole of idea of writing the Gospel about the Son of Man was based on a typo of Josephus? Because that's what the guy in the video is suggesting. And I don't know about you, but that absolutely doesn't make sense to me. Is it not more plausible to suggest that one typo (Son instead of Stone) was produced by copying the story about the Son of Man? In addition, the Story of Jesus Christ predates these events and there is enough to indicate that at least the Gospel of Luke was written long before the destruction of the temple in 70 AD. Josephus obviously didn't believe in Jesus being the Son of God but he might have found the story appealing as an art of fiction of his Jewish culture and therefore taken it as an inspiration to make his account about Titus more interesting. As he was writing this for a Roman target group, he wouldn't have feared that they would ever see where he got his inspiration from because the Christian community was just a Jewish sect in the area under persecution at the time.

Only a fool would think Christ was an invented idea.

Timothy 4:1 “Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;”

I have few take aways and questions as well 1 Why use Jesus' name? Why not other names? 2 If you will create a story and wants people to believe it, will you not consider to include few truths along with the lies?

The conspiracy to invent Jesus also had another influence. If you look at the particulars of the purported life of Jesus they bear a striking similarity to the life of the Egyptian God, Horus, from many centuries before . Many are virtually identical such as being born of a virgin, performing miracles and healing the sick. It seems to me that the life of Horus was great source material for the supposed life of Jesus. That life was eagerly adopted by Paul (or Saul of Tarsus) as the foundation story for his church

Anybody read the Council of Nicea 325

this guy is speculatiing for whatever his motive . there is no secret that the new testament rests on the old testament , but his roman connection is a joke .

How do you know that the flavian story isn't made up?

None of this makes sense at all.

I need specific references for each of his claims. Slightly frustrated I haven’t found any parallels in my reading of Josephus yet. Makes me think this is bs.

Then several centuries later, people will believe Harry Potter is real. Trust me, it will happen.

Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John were not written by them. There is zero evidence for Moses, archaeological or from other written records.

Absolutely ludicrous…the very idea that a Roman family would go to this extent is absurd.

forgive my ignorance. what is the time difference between the writing of the gospels and the writing of the history of titus? how do you know that titus wasnt copying the gospels? that for the helpful infomation.

He talks more about how amazing and incredible it is than actually providing any good examples.

Rex and ignata natura renovate integra(INRI) above the cross is also Cesar's (Julius)

Makes sense that modern Christianity is basically Ancient Rome 2.0.

THIS SHOULD HAVE 8 BILLION VIEWS WHY

this is exactly the same scheme and inspiration based on which Gandhi was foisted on Indians.

Im sorry if you have been misinformed That is European faluse miseducation. To give themselves a history. Africans are the first people on this planet, they grew and took the show on the road. They are the creators of spiritual beginnings.

This offers no proof in any direction. Claims that someone stole ideas from another. Put your critical thinking caps on. I'm not saying it isn't possible but there is obvious sleight of hand here to try to prove a point

This guy has it backwards. He tries to put the cart before the horse. Of course typology is a major phenomena in scripture! 100's if not 1000's of books have been written on the subject. The entire old covenant is a type or shadow revealed in the new covenant. The entire book of the Revelation describes in figurative, apocalyptic language the judgement of physical, ethnic Israel and the fulfilment and end of the old covenant and the establishment of the new eternal covenant, the Church. In the old testament, God gathers His people at Passover and they are established by faith until they enter the promised land with the destruction of the walled city of Jericho. The same happens in the new testament at Passover where the Lamb of God was slain, the new eternal people of God are established through faith and ends with the destruction of the walled city of Jerusalem. Josephus (a Jewish historian) was a witness and wrote about Jerusalem's destruction, AFTER the fact. Unless this man can prove the old testament was also written by Rome and the new testament was written AFTER the destruction of Jerusalem, he doesn't have a case. The great thing about Christianity is if you're a believer, you're right and if you're not a believer, you're right also.

There were Christians before the Flavians. Nero persecuted them. Also, why would later Roman Emperors persecute the religion that they helped produce? Did the Flavians try to influence a rapidly emerging christianity by providing the biography of Jesus? Fascinating stuff though.

18:14 same with Black Rob

Why did Rome go to such lengths to try to cover up that Jesus rose from the dead? Because He lived.

Yep, I'm certainly convinced now! Why didn't he just say "there is no spoon"!

1723 Constitution of the Freemasons, "God's Messiah was born during the reign of Caesar Augustus. That great architect of the Church." Why would the Freemasons mention that if it was all just a sham? Literally makes no sense. Like you. Notice, as well, this bloke did not even quote one actual source through this all except for the Bible. He just willy-nilly throws some names out and claims to be an expert. The most intelligent people I've encountered are smarter than their indoctrination. 😂👍 For those with eyes to see, notice the Freemasons did not mention His name...

Even if you don't agree with his conclusion, the sequence of parallels needs explaining.

*2 TIMOTHY 2 16* Irrelevant gossip and denial of the Truth as prophesied

First, who is this man and who did he travel back in time to get this information from that makes him so confident that Jesus is a fabrication? And who is William Whiston and why should we believe him or either of them? Second, you have to be looking for a reason to not believe in Jesus to accept this weak argument. For one, he says the Romans created "the character of Jesus Christ" to pacify the people yet he himself quoted Jesus as saying he did not come to bring peace. Jesus said he didn't come to bring peace but a sword. How exactly does that pacify? Jesus was not a hippie. Get that idea out of your head. Also, he says the parallels between Jesus and Moses prove that Jesus is fiction and that his life is taken from another book. Yes, we call that typology as well and to believers it's nothing negative as this man is trying to make it out to be but it helps us make connections to what God has done between the Old and New Testaments and helps strengthen our faith in God. The Lord is the same yesterday, today, and forever and there is nothing new under the sun. (Ecc. 1:9) Doesn't prove anything. Regarding "fishers of men" : Jeremiah 16:16 states “‘Look,’ says Adonai, ‘I will send for many fishermen, and they will fish for them..." Now, did the Romans make up the Hebrew Bible too? This passage is commonly interpreted as referring to the Jews being persecuted so if anything using this man's understanding of the Romans "catching the Jews" this would be a fulfilled prophecy not an "odd parallel between Jesus and Titus" made up by Romans. Further, Jesus could have very well been purposely alluding to Jeremiah to show that the opposite...grace...was now in full effect. To add, all scholars do not believe the story of Jesus was made up as this man implies. but only scholars who don't want to believe in Jesus. Need to be specific about who you are referring to as "scholars." Jesus asked about what is the best way to build a tower, Jesus predicted Jerusalem would be encircled with a wall, Jesus predicted a fruit tree would be cut down,...where are your biblical references for these? Because they all sound like distorted verses. Such as people cried out "the son has come" All the gospels have some form of the people’s cries as: “Hosanna![a]” “Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!”[b] 10 “Blessed is the coming kingdom of our father David!” “Hosanna in the highest heaven!” This was also prophesied about in the Hebrew Bible (Zechariah 9:9) and the cries sound nothing like “A stone is coming.” Then, the Pharisees basically told Jesus to make the people shut up but Jesus said if they keep quiet, the stones will cry out. How in the world would anyone mistakenly get all that mixed up with "A stone is coming?" The Good Samaritan story Jesus told was just that-a story. A parable. He wasn’t giving facts and his story doesn’t parallel the so-called Titus story at all except for the fact that they both involved robbers which I’m sure people got robbed often in those days just as they do today. Absolutely no connection and same as with Jesus healing the man’s RIGHT hand on the Sabbath. The odds are 1:2 ain’t like you got many choices. It’s either going to be a right or a left hand, it just happened to be his right, so there is nothing suspicious about that. Jesus didn’t “suddenly” decide that he had to go to Jerusalem he had been mentioning it all along. He didn’t go before because it wasn’t time for him to go since the reason he was going at this specific time was to die for the sin of all of mankind to give us an opportunity to trust in God the Father and his Son Jesus Christ for eternal salvation. He knew what he was doing, he knew the exact time to go into the city to accomplish exactly what he came into the world to do. Just because you can’t understand why, when, or how he did what he did doesn’t mean he’s made up, it just means you lack understanding. Worrying about the wrong thing. In conclusion, Jesus taught the same thing as the Hebrew Bible teaches. The greatest teaching of the Torah is to love God with all your heart, mind, soul, and strength and love your neighbor as yourself, and everything Jesus taught reflects these two commands so Christ's teachings definitely agree with the Old Testament which came much earlier than the Romans so I don't know how they were making any "new Judaism." It's been almost 10 years since this video so maybe you have something new. So, try again. If you count yourself unworthy to receive God's gift of eternal life then stay prideful and condemned but leave other people and their faith alone.

I can't believe it has taken so long for this knowledge to come out. I was raised Episcopalian... Went to a Catholic HS.... BUT BY a, year after I was rejecting the religion because it made no sense. I want to know how the managed to get this to spread so successfully..... All over the world

he almost starts to laugh while trying to look serious

This is one of the most absurd arguments I’ve heard mostly bc zero reference is compared. This guy is obviously not a scholar bc he simply can not formulate an argument for his position... very strange. Who is to say that the writer of the Titus story is not intentionally mimicking the gospels to make Titus more associated with the divine?

And also, if all you've got to base your line of thinking on is a book by a modern-day person who translated what someone wrote years before any of us were born, why would you believe it but not the Bible since it's basically the same situation? And why would you believe the events in Jesus's life was the fabrication and not the other way around. There is no proof, evidence, or even a real basis for any of this belief.

I'm curious as to where Paul fits into all of this.

The sad thing is this guy actually believes his own deception. Did Jesus start in Galilee aged around 30!? No‼️ Over 300 old Covenant prophecies ‼️ Full of Hebrew idioms, figures of speech! Where when & how He would be Born! Live, ministry Death and Resurrection ‼️ (So Titus was following Moses)⁉️🧐 How? Why?

Explain to me the resurrection and miracles after his ascending then to now!

The narrator the author of this book comes across as a very sincere person, he does believe what he is saying is true and give him credit for standing up or in this case sitting down and stating his case and presenting what he believes is evidence Jesus is a fictional character. I am sure if I met him in person I would get along with him just fine. But speaking candidly he has not conducted anything that even remotely resembles an, impartial, thorough investigation. This is a case where you need to show the whole picture not just the small part of it that agrees with a pet theory. And the cost of being wrong has potentially Eternal ramifications which urges us to look at all the evidence and not reach a verdict until we have heard from the last Witness

Good stuff! I like it. Gonna put this vid on a playlist. Thanks for the video!

Say to yourself "The Gospel accounts were written by the Romans" There is a reason it does not resonate as being true in your gut. Because it is not. See how simple this is. God wrote the truth into our DNA. to know the truth is simply a matter of being honest with yourself. The narrator here or anyone that believes him are not being honest with themselves.

How do you explain the Dead Sea scroll? What crap!!!

There was already Christians being executed under Nero prior to Titus becoming Emperor.

MAN CREATED GOD

I appreciate anyone willing to do the kind of work he did,we already know these 'books' & religion are man made but how it was done is as they say 'the devil's in the details'

Gotta high five Joseph Atwill for this! He's the man!

The only thing a common person should ask from this video is who the hell was Titus?

The old testament mirrors the new testament? That Jesus said the same things as Moses at times, that the old testament is constantly pointing towards Jesus at every second verse? Wow you don't say... Facepalm. The Jewish leaders in Jerusalem at the time were in Rome's pocket. The main scene where they asked if they should pay taxes to Rome isn't exactly what people think it is. Jesus is trapped by the religious leaders inside the temple here, when he answers no, they will report him to their Roman superiors and he will be killed. If he says yes, everyone will hate him and zealots will try to assassinate him. Jesus asks the priests to give him a denari. One of the priests pulls one out of his pocket INSIDE THE TEMPLE. Thereby breaking the law to not bring any graven image into the temple. Caesar was claiming to be god, and having his image on the coins was a thorn in the eyes of the Jews. The priest also pulled one out of his pocket, signifying that he is a puppet of Rome. Then Jesus asks who's image it is and says to give Caesars what is Caesars (his image) but to God what is God's (your entire life, you are the image of God). Jesus doesn't really tell people to give the Romans their taxes, he tells them to live for God. He also points to the image on the coin, hinting at the heresy it entails. He is rejecting Caesar here. He also points towards Psalms 24: The earth is God's and everything in it. Hereby he actually turned tables on the Jews. If he were cruel, he could have followed up who owns what. If the Pharisees said God owns everything, they would have been in danger themselves. In other places, Jesus spoke out against taxation by Rome. Nobody really thought he was going to tell people to pay taxes. The religious leaders actually accused him of saying they should not be paying taxes.

Who knows? All we have is an old book that tells stories and makes outrageous claims

Who invented you?

It does not surprise me that the gospels are not believed. What I do not understand is why people spend so much time to disprove it. Why not choose your own beliefs and get on with your life.
