Jesus Never Existed

Only the self-proclaimed educated think Jesus didn't exist.

Actual historians near unanimously agree that he did.

"... As archaeologist and historian Dr. Byron McCane of the Atlantic University of Florida states, “I do not know, nor have I heard of, any trained historian or archaeologist who has doubts about his existence.”

That said, that’s not to say there aren’t many people out there who don’t agree. For example, a 2015 pole in Britain surveying around 4000 people found that a whopping 40% of them did not believe Jesus ever existed. But going back to historians, Professor emeritus of Jewish studies and Archeology at Duke University, Dr. Eric Meyers, concurs with Dr. McCane, chiming in, “I don’t know any mainstream scholar who doubts the historicity of Jesus. The details have been debated for centuries, but no one who is serious doubts that he’s a historical figure…. Those who deny the existence of Jesus are like the deniers of climate change.”

Holdouts to the idea that Jesus existed like to point out, however, that we don’t have any hard archaeological evidence or writings from Jesus himself, or even surviving contemporary writings from when he supposedly lived corroborating his existence. This is correct. However, if that’s the rubric being used to tell if some historic figure actually existed or not, we’d pretty much have to assert that almost nobody in history ever existed, including some extremely prominent figures absolutely no one, including many of these holdouts, questions lived. As atheist New Testament scholar Dr. Bart Erhman notes, “The reality is that we don’t have archaeological records for virtually anyone who lived in Jesus’s time and place.”

Pertinent to the topic at hand, up until extremely recently in history, there was not much of any contemporary evidence whatsoever that Pontius Pilate existed- the Roman governor of Judaea most remembered today for having Jesus crucified. That all changed in 1961 when a quite literal hard piece of evidence was found. At the site of Caesarea Maritima archeologists discovered a stone totally and in all ways coincidentally called the “Pilate Stone”, dating back to the time Pilate and Jesus were doing their respective dances. (For reference, Pilate was the prefect of Judea from 26-36 AD. And may or may not have been a great dancer.) ..."

False, actual historians do not near unanimously agree that Jesus existed because there's no historical evidence that Jesus did exist.

A claim could be made that 2.5 billion people can't be wrong. But those same people grew up believing that Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny are real too. 1.2 people believe a God with an elephant's head is real as well, does that make that God real? The same people believe that Krishna, a template for Jesus, was also existed, does not make him real not just for them, but for Christians as well.... who copied him?

So since Rome had the coliseum, Romans celebrated the mass slaughter of their political enemies, and the celebration of the mass slaughter of the left's political enemies is on full display in a world that is increasingly dechristianized today... What caused the moral change in western civilization that is now in decline, if Jesus never existed? He was the one who taught to pray for those who persecute you.

Except he didn't exist in your opinion. So who taught western civilization to turn the other cheek, then? 🤔

Funny how intellectuals ignore over 40,000 contemporary manuscripts and how a non existent man turned the world upside down. How oblivious of history can one fool be- oh great example.

40,000 manuscripts contemporary with Jesus? You should release them so that the world can see.

For nearly a century outside of a small cult, as far as the world is concerned, Jesus did not exist.

Even if he did, in accordance to what his purpose was, he fulfilled absolutely none of it. It is said that his apostles still await his return, nearly two millennial later. Don't know where these guys have been, but I say if they came out and we saw them, at least we would have something to go on, given that at least they personally knew the guy and hung out with him.

He was supposed to return before that generation came to pass, remember? And then he was going to do what he didn't do the first round, which is repel the Romans from Judea and allowed the Judeans to live in a period of prosperity and peace, till the next empire passing through town took them over yet again and the cycle repeats. 2000 years. Somewhere yonder them thar hills.
