MYTH OF JESUS (Part 3: Teaching / promises)


Jesus Christ: God, human, God-man or legendary figure?

had not found in [Part 1] we determine that a historical Jesus with scientific means, as there are no primary sources (writings from him or people who may have known him) made about him.
Trying to end the historical Jesus from his biography, to reconstruct the Gospels are in [Part 2] failed because the majority is his life story from miracles nor supernatural information - such as the hometown of Jesus, or the circumstances of his birth - historically doubtful. A census, go to the place where any of his ancestors must, there was probably as little as a city of Nazareth at the beginning of the 1st Century.
There remains the possibility of a historical Jesus to look through his teachings. Perhaps he was a kind of wise religious founder, who went around and gave moral lessons.
but first let's look at what Jesus has given us so ever taught in the Bible.

GOTTA HAVE FAITH

You just have to firmly believe in it, then you can do anything! The parents say, Teacher motivation and coaches like a mantra. Only the truth is different.
No sane person believes seriously in telekinesis, moving objects with the power of the mind. If I say that I could levitate a truck through my mind when I quite, quite firmly believe - would you take me for a crazy spinner and hold the course, absolutely right.
How about something bigger?


^"18 And Jesus rebuked him, and drove the heck out of him and the boy was healed that same hour
¹⁹ . And there came to him the disciples and said, Why could we not cast him
²⁰ Jesus answered and said unto them, "To your unbelief. For verily I say unto you If ye have faith as a mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed there from here! he will stand out, and you will not be impossible. "

(Matthew 17:18-20)


So I've heard of anyone that he could lift mountains. So no one has" faith like a mustard seed? "Whatever that may mean ... In another
Jesus used the mustard seed body as a metaphor for God's Kingdom because it was the smallest of all seeds. Funny, that Christ did not know that is not true, but when he was said to be the Creator of all things. And as for giving us all-knowing God is well aware lied when he said, nothing will be impossible for us. Until
I have no credible evidence that anyone can move a mountain in the world by faith, I do not believe it. No matter whether I tell Toyota commercials or religious texts from antiquity otherwise.
I am holding a godless heathen who wants strangely, some sort of evidence, at least an indication to have before he believes that anyone magical superhero powers developed, he believes it firmly. It sounds to me more like a Disney movie as something that is called "reality".

not like to hear the Christians determined. But for which there would be a very easy way to change my mind and making me a Jesus freak. Me would not even meet in person.
Just pray for it and everything you want done, says Jesus.

^"13 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
¹⁴ what you ask in my name, I will do it. "

(John 14:13-14)

^{" 23} Verily I say unto you, whoever says to this mountain, Be thou removed and be thou cast into the sea! . And shall not doubt in his heart, but thought it would happen, he says, it's going to happen to him what he says
²⁴ Therefore I say unto you, Everything you ask when you pray, believe that ye shall receive it, so it will be yours. "

(Mark 11:23-24)

^"15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature believe
¹⁶ Who's there and. . is baptized shall be saved: he that believeth not, shall be damned
¹⁷ And these signs shall follow them that believe there are that: in my name they cast out devils, speak with new tongues
¹⁸ shall take up serpents;. and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not harm them, the sick, they shall lay hands, it will be better with them. "

(Mark 16:15-18)

^{" 7} If ye abide in me and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what you want, and it will happen. "

(John 15:7)


Let's leave the magical fairy land of the Bible and look into the real world: How can Christians claim for so many centuries, yet the Bible is divine" truth "is simple? not true that believers get everything they want when they pray. Unless they want "nothing".
But maybe they have not the true faith (read: hell). But the latest, if all mankind for all eternity roasting in hell, because no one can move mountains and do things can bring magic - then Christians have problems to explain plausible that their God is just and loves us.



I KNOW NOT EVERBODY'S GOT A BODY LIKE ME

quite so easily, it is not, unfortunately. It is not enough to believe in Jesus and to accept him as his personal Savior. He must also eat.

^"22 And as they ate, Jesus took bread, gave thanks and broke it and gave it to them, saying Take, eat: this is my body.
²³ And he took the cup, gave thanks and gave it to them, and they all drank from it.
²⁴ And he said unto them, This is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many.
²⁵ Verily I say unto you, that I will not drink henceforth of the fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God. "

(Mark 14:22-25)

There is wine in the sky, interesting ... If you still believe that the kingdom of God is also sober exciting enough, but why should Jesus be swayed by his death from drinking?


^"53 Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, ye have no life in you
^54th Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.
⁵⁵ For my flesh is meat indeed and my blood is drink.
⁵⁶ Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me and I in him. has
⁵⁷ sent me As the living Father and I live by the Father, so whoever eats me will live even for my sake. "

(John 6:53-57)

The so-called "Eucharist" is a system modeled on the Last Supper ritual of Christian churches, although the Protestants and Catholics disagree on the exact course. Therefore, it is also currently no Ecumenical Communion of both denominations - the Jesus of the two churches were divided about how to perform this ritual cannibalism at best.
are unanimous in most Christian churches, however, that the bread actually the body of Jesus is not just symbolic. Adults seriously believe that they drink the blood of Christ and not just wine. Maybe they do not notice the difference because her brain was also previously been obscured.

How this absurd ritual, however, will mean that someone is a better person, I do not want to be clear throughout. Also not sprinkle with water, which removes your sins, baptism mentioned.

TAUFGELAGE

The earliest biography of Jesus, the Gospel of Mark begins with the story of John the Baptist. This figure appears in all the Gospels, was probably a historical figure. At the beginning of the first century there were many such occupied Taufbewegungen among Roman Jews.
What was new in Jesus' baptism? The New Testament puts it John the Baptist himself in the mouth:

^"6 John was clothed with camel's hair with a leather belt around his waist and ate locusts and wild Honey;
⁷ and he preached, saying, There cometh one after me is mightier than I, I am not worthy that I was to stoop down and untie the straps of his shoes .
⁸ I baptize you with water: but he shall baptize you with the Holy Spirit. "

(Mark 1:6-8)


If Jesus was not God, would be nothing better than his baptism by John.
baptized is to be absolutely necessary, according to church to get to heaven, as a moral message it is anyway useless. What then is the moral message of Christianity?




GOD IS DEAD

The most important message of Christianity that God sacrificed his son for love - for our sins. Is this really a good news?
Someone else has to die because of your crimes, someone who himself is entirely innocent and loves you?
And then you have the choice to accept the sacrifice or even to be punished. If you accept the sacrifice you have to live your life from now on according to very specific rules.

is yes but not Jesus really died, at least according to Christian doctrine. He is physically and then rose again in ascended to heaven and will return to the Apocalypse to the monster 666, to defeat the Antichrist and take all believers to heaven.
Perhaps this is to me, but I think the victim to die for someone who is somehow greater when one is really dead then and is no more powerful and in the sky, come and reacts with the old Vadder the universe.

example, would not this story in the Bible, but in texts of other religions. Would we still claim it was a positive message?
Imagine a scene with the great god Zeus and the unbelieving Mario ago:

(It knock at the door, Zeus is here)
MARIO: Hello!
ZEUS: I am the great Zeus!
MARIO: Hello, Zeus.
ZEUS: I have an important message for you.
MARIO: I'm really not that much time ...
ZEUS: It is very important.
MARIO: Well guuuut. What is it? I do not buy anything.
ZEUS: You are a sinner!
MARIO: And?
ZEUS: The penalty for this is terrible, painful torment in hell!
MARIO: real? Shit! Since when is that?
ZEUS: Since now.
MARIO: Why? What have I done so bad?
ZEUS: You are a sinner!
MARIO: From out of me. But what exactly? ..
ZEUS: EVERYTHING!
MARIO: There is still determined more sinner than me!
ZEUS: But wait! Come all to hell! Forever!
MARIO: Forever! And how long do I have?
ZEUS: Forever!
MARIO: But - That's unfair!
ZEUS: That's totally fair. Since I am a just God and I've been decided, must be just so.
MARIO: Logical ...
ZEUS: But here's the good news ...
MARIO: Yes?
ZEUS: ... someone else was already punished for your transgressions.
MARIO: for my sins?
ZEUS: Yes. I have murdered my son.
(awkward silence)
MARIO: Whaaat?
ZEUS: Because I love you so.
MARIO: I got you never asked anyone to kill!
ZEUS: Oh, what you already know of the divine love? For your sins my son is dead!
MARIO: He died for love of me? That's nice ... So completely gratuitous.
ZEUS: Well ...
MARIO: What?
ZEUS: You just have to believe it and live your life according to its laws.
MARIO: Oh ... And how do I know?
ZEUS: What?
MARIO: That I'm keeping all the laws that made your son? Before he died, the poor ...
ZEUS: Do not worry, the'm fine. He is in my Olympus.
MARIO: So he's not dead?
ZEUS: Oh, yes. For your sins. I'm told!
MARIO: Huh?
ZEUS: gods die from not making much. You can say cats have nine lives ...
MARIO: Yes.
ZEUS (proudly): Let's say this: We definitely have more life gods. This much is certain.
MARIO: What then?
ZEUS: /)/§)$$)§'( mumbles unintelligible)
MARIO: What?
ZEUS: Ten.
MARIO: Aha ... And what laws I must now meet again?
ZEUS: Read my writings!
MARIO: I've seen a look. But somehow gives the little sense. There are four versions, contradict all the time.
ZEUS: You can not take all this literally. You have to read between the lines ... historical context ... Problems in the translation ... Exegesis ...
MARIO: But why do not you write simply and understandably to?
ZEUS: I am a busy God.
MARIO: Really? It is 12 clock and you reek of cheap wine ... But why did you not then plain spoken? I thought you were omniscient? So you have to have foreseen that the pass must be so misunderstandings ...
ZEUS: So, I got to go, because I suddenly had a great hurry. I bet that's the best day of your life! Spread the good news!



If the concept sounds strange even in a God, it would be absurd in a man. If Jesus was not God but a religious teacher, he would certainly not have the authority to assume the guilt of anyone. If he takes the sins of the believers to be, which means ultimately that experienced the victims of these sins no redress.
who preaches anything other than accepting responsibility for his own actions, that is definitely me as a moral model suspect. What Jesus taught otherwise or so?



APOCALYPSE NOW

The biblical Jesus preached that the end the world, the apocalypse would soon take place. The following will happen, according to Jesus:

^"29 Immediately after the tribulation the same time the sun and moon the appearance lose , and stars will fall from the sky , and the powers of heaven shall be shaken. "

(Matthew 24:29)

The stars will fall to the ground. Jesus! And then I thought, if a single star would fall on the ground that it would give the Earth will probably no longer. I also thought that The moon would not appear by itself. Fortunately, the Bible teaches me a lesson.


^"30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in the sky. cry and then shall all the tribes of the earth and be seen coming of the Son of Man will appear in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. "

(Matthew 24:30)

All peoples on earth will see Jesus. Fortunately, the earth is flat, otherwise this would not do.
But now we come to the really interesting Message of Jesus. The whole is to happen in the lifetime of some of his followers.

^"34 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away till all these things
³⁵ heaven and earth. pass away, but my words shall not pass away. "

(Matthew 24:34-35 and Mark 13:30-31)

^"27 Because it will happen, that Son of Man coming in glory his Father with his angels, and then he shall reward every man according to his works.
²⁸ Verily I say unto you There are some standing here who shall not taste death , till they see the Son of Man coming in His kingdom "

(Matthew. 16:27-28)

^"22 And be ye must hated by all men for my name's sake. But anyone who persists to the end shall be saved.
²³ but if they return to a City pursue, flee to another. Verily I say unto you: Ye shall the cities of Israel will not end until Son of man cometh. "

(Matthew 10:22-23)

^{" 1} And he said unto them, Verily I say : There are some standing here who shall not death to taste until they see the kingdom of God come with his power. "

(Mark 9:1)

See also Luke 9:27, John 21:22


If the Bible is an infallible divine truth is that is, these people still live - in the stately age of about 2000 years ago - more than twice as long as Methuselah, the most ancient man in the Bible, who lived less than a thousand years. Loser!
Or else, all this talk of end times 2000 years ago is nonsense and there is no good reason to believe in an imminent apocalypse, as it vorraussagt Jesus in the Gospels. The Bible says this of the 900 years of people, giants, unicorns and talking donkeys. This can believe it or not. You decide. (Unless your religion to do it for you.)

The longer existed, the Church, the more they tried to sweep the issue under the carpet, that Jesus the approaching apocalypse has preached and stressed how he wanted a church founded in his name. But it is very little in the Gospels. The apocalyptic element is much more important.

you understand the biblical Jesus Christ as the end-time prophets, some very strange statements about Jesus, eg family to understand.



I HATE MYSELF AND I WANT TO DIE

If you ask most Christians that Jesus taught to love my family to his or hate it, most would probably "love" spontaneously say. What Jesus says in the Bible?

^"25 He was however much people with him, and he turned and said to them:
²⁶ If anyone comes to me and hate not his father, mother, wife, children, brothers, sisters, even his own life not be my disciple. "

(Luke 14:25-26)

^"29 He said unto them, Verily I say unto you, There is no one who leaving a house or parents or brothers or wife or children for the kingdom of God ,
³⁰ who does not receive wide again this time , and in the world to eternal life .

(Luke 18:29-30)

^'37 who loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he son or daughter loves more than me is not worthy. "

(Matthew 10:37)

^"21 And another spoke of his disciples to him, Lord, permit me to go and bury my father
²² But Jesus said. to him, Follow me and let the dead bury their dead! " was

(Matthew 8:21-22)


Apokalyptischen faith it long before and long after Jesus, even today.
in common is that end-timers, whether Christians, Muslims or people who believe in aliens, bring them to their home planet - all expect a better life and therefore despise the earthly world. If it could go under at any moment the world, it really does not matter whether we bury our parents. Nevertheless, I remain unclear why Jesus says we are to hate even our own lives - and to simultaneously love our neighbor as ourselves!

The power of the early Christian movement was its message of coming change, when you'd rather not be on the wrong side. In addition to the Gospels in which Jesus tells of the apocalypse, apocalyptic texts were among the most important works of the early Christians. The Revelation of John has made it into the current form of the Bible, not quite as happy End.
It says about the end of the world: "The time is near!" (Revelation 22:10)
But about 2,000 years later is still not a single star to the earth like.



A LITTLE SWORD, what I wish

The Apocalyptic Jesus did not believe the one to which most Christians today. You think of Jesus to a peacemaker. Some characters of the Bible have not have believed. But Jesus makes it clear that

^"34 You shall not imagine that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace but a sword.."

(Matthew 10:34)


I do not know about you, but i would rather have peace than the sword.

" ³⁵ For I am come to set a man against his father and the daughter against her mother and the daughter against her mother.
³⁶ And a man's enemies will be his his own household. "

(Matthew 10:35-36)


Whom you can not do anything with swords, Jesus also dissension on sale:

^"51 ye think that I am come to send peace on earth: I say no, but rather division
⁵² disagree because, five in one house from now on. , three against two and two against three
⁵³ It will be the father against son and son against father. against the mother and the mother against daughter and daughter against mother the daughter-in-law and daughter against mother. "

(Luke 12:51-53)



THOUGHT CRIME While Jesus did not come

in his own words, is to bring peace, because at least he brings justice?
Schon das alte Gesetz Gottes, bei den Christen nun als altes Testament in ihrer heiligen Schrift, soll angeblich gerecht sein. Believers often quoted to prove the point "eye for eye, tooth for a tooth ...", order that any punishment in the Biblical legal system, the offense is appropriate: If you look but to the entire law of God, because you can hardly justice . talk If

today as a shopkeeper opens on Sunday despite the ban, he will most likely have to pay a fine. Someone who commits a murder, however, must for a long time to prison. The penalties vary drastically, because the crimes are similar. Other things are not forbidden in our society, such as freedom of expression.
be stoned to death by God's law must be if you work on Sundays (even if it only collects firewood - Numbers 15:32-35) In the 4th Book of Moses, God kills a group of people because they complain of having nothing to eat. Murderers must die as well:

^"20 Pity pity, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, as he has injured a man, one should do it again
²¹ . So that he who kills a beast that will repay it. but who kills a man who has to die "

(Leviticus 24:20-21)

As you can only talk about justice, since for almost one? any violation of God's law, the death penalty, gets the whole thing that much more of a tyrant's rule of the Lord than a fair judicial system. unless one considers Sunday to collect firewood is just as bad as murder and therefore punishable by the same penalty.
death must also adulterers (Leviticus 20:10), rapists and women who were raped in the city - because they did not scream (Exodus 22:23,24), sorceresses (Exodus 22:17), homosexuals (Leviticus 20:13), people who worship a different God any (Deuteronomy 17:2-5), people who insult their parents (Exodus 21:17) and women who worked for the marriage no longer virgins (Deuteronomy 22:20-21). And of course Israel's enemies, often with women and children.
The death was it the most - but God curse your seed or your country, which he does sometimes. But after the death of the Old Testament God is a no longer do.

Jesus changed that and increased the maximum penalty of death to eternal torments of hell, and exacerbated some laws of the Old Testament.

^"21 You have heard that it was said by them of old: "Thou shalt not kill, whoever kills you want the court to be guilty."
²² But I say unto you, with angry with his brother, who is guilty of the Court but whosoever shall say to his brother, Racha! is guilty of the Council; who says, 'You fool! is the danger of hell fire. "

(Matthew 5:21-22)

Is this justice? Someone who calls his brother a fool is rewarded with the same penalty as a mass murderer, that is hell? Unless they believe in Jesus, of their sins for them does. Then eventually the mass murderer goes to heaven and the offender forever in hell.
Since when is it in fact to be fair, someone for a single offense for all ages to punish?

You have not done something wrong has to be tormented forever. It goes the wrong idea.

^"27 You have heard that it was said by them of old:" Thou shalt not commit adultery "
²⁸ I say to you. Who looks at a woman to lust after her hath already she committed adultery in his heart. "

(Matthew 5:27-28)


Is not that perverse? Not even the thoughts of Christians are free. But eventually can escape the hell before it's too late, in . which one is the amputated body parts, at least in the Sermon on the Mount Jesus recommends:

^"29 your right eye offend thee, pluck it out and cast it from thee. It is better for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not the whole body be cast into hell.
³⁰ offend thee thy right hand, so haue it off and throw it away. It is better for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not the whole body be cast into hell. "

(Matthew 5:29-30)

Our omnipotent and omniscient Creator has endowed us with a sex drive that is (which is good because it would otherwise none of us there) and then decides that, even if this drive does not live it, just think about it, the only thing more self-mutilation - the destruction of God intelligently designed body



ANTI-CHRISTIAN. check MORAL

To the biblical morality on its validity, but we imagine a world before time, do all the opposite of what Jesus says in the Bible. Let's play devil's advocate and sometimes turn to the teachings of Christ easy. It looks like the anti-Christian morality:

- Everyone is responsible for what he does. No one can take your fault, no matter how hard you believe.
- If you really want something, you need to do something. Praying does not work.
- rituals such as baptism can not wash away sins, that absolve people of guilt.
- Be nice to your parents. That is your true family. Not a bunch of crackpots, the wait for the end of the world. If your parents have raised you, they have done a lot for you. Also does something for them, unleash your dead father, not even buried.
- If someone promises you something, especially when you everything he promises, what you will, as Jesus believed, then it is not without evidence, or at least a plausible reason.
- you are responsible for what you do, but not for your thoughts. A crime that only happens in the head to be punished with eternal torment, as it says in the Bible, is barbaric and unjust.
- When someone asks you to hate your life ignore the asshole.



IT WAS NOT ALL BAD ...

Of course there are also good in the New Testament. Some of the lessons described in the Gospels Jesus are not revolutionary, as some Christians, but still good. But we read all the gospels, you realize that these are very much less than we want to make church and believers looking.

example, the episode in which Jesus avoids stoning by asking those people to cast the first stone, which are free from sin. This passage, and Jesus supposedly saying at his crucifixion: "Father, forgive them for they know not what they do", but were not in the original manuscripts of the Gospels. Research has shown that these bodies were only added later and the first versions of the Gospels (between 70-110 AD). were not included.

This is a bit more plausible, why Jesus elsewhere in the Gospels no problem with stoning. He even calls sometimes and insulted people, do not stone the to rule.

The most radical innovation in comparison with the old Testament is Jesus' call to love our enemies. Namely, while the Old Testament quite clearly takes the position that one should hate his enemies and God will help you to kill them. (Of course, only if you fear God.)
Now, should we even love his enemies, Jesus says at least two of the four Gospels, but not in the earliest gospel (Mark) and oldest (John).
Unfortunately I did not "enemies", I can love. Aw, bad luck. But what is not ...

Jesus says if you get a slap, should we not fight back, but also hold out the other cheek. First sounds pretty smart. But as a practical tip is good life is not likely. Would your children if you have any! Educate, so? Of course you should not teach his child: ". Look here, if the skin Lasse you, then polished him properly once the face, the little asshole." But a child who is known to not defend themselves, if attacked, but the club still holds out proudly the other cheek - such children were infected in the School in garbage cans and toilets.

If it really was a Jesus who has given this advice, it is still pretty doubtful if anyone was stupid enough to try out the times really. Jesus himself often keeps the mind and not fleeing attackers, instead of dealing with them (eg John 8:59).

is admirable, the use of arms. Jesus advises rich people to sell all their possessions and give to the poor (Matthew chapter 19, Luke 18, Mark 10). A good lesson to keep just unfortunately very few Christians. I know of at least none.

WHAT WOULD JESUS DO
?

that Jesus himself does not always live up to its own rules, makes it not necessarily credible. In John's Gospel, he is anointed with expensive oils. One of his disciples asked him whether we should sell the oil rather not give the money and arms - as Jesus teaches again and again. The author tries to not so bad argument to refute the fact that it is attributed to Judas, who wants to steal the money. Jesus says, give him arms, it always is not.

^"3 Mary took a pound of ointment of unadulterated, precious nard, anointed Jesus' feet and dried his feet with her hair, and the house was filled with the odor of the ointment.
⁴ As one of his disciples, Judas son of Simon Iscariot, who betrayed him afterwards:
⁵ Why is not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and the poor given
⁶ He said not that he cared for the poor;? but he was a thief and had the bag, and bare what was put
^{. 7} Jesus said: Leave her alone! Such, it has retained the day of my burial.
⁸ For ye have the poor always with you: but me ye have not always. "

(John 12:3-8)


Jesus is indeed presented in the Gospels as a poor man, but this is not a problem. Does he even one or two donkeys, he sends his disciples going on, what" rent ", which was OK, she needs God.

^{" 1} Now when they came close to Jerusalem, towards the Bethphage to the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two disciples
² and said unto them, Go ye into the village over against you, and straightway ye shall find an ass tied, and her colt with her; Untie them and bring them ! me
³ And so you tell someone something, say, The Lord needs them, when he will send them "

(Matthew 21:1-3) .

At that time as a donkey is a necessary means of mass transport. Where were you before Jesus were alive today. Then he would "borrow" probably two cars.
The Bible says otherwise not assume that the "borrowed" donkeys were brought back to their rightful owners.

preaches Jesus And while that you have to go to hell when his brother a "fool" is the name (Matthew 5:22), Jesus says in the same Gospel:

^"15 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites umziehet their land and water that you make one proselyte, and when he becomes one, makes her out to him a child of hell twofold more than you are ^{! ;
16} Woe to you, blind guides, who say: "Whoever swears by the temple, that's nothing, but whoever swears by the gold of the temple, he is obligated."
¹⁷ You fools and blind! "

(Matthew 23:15-17)



GOD OR SCRAP

For the life of the Buddha Many legends. Nevertheless, there is much that he was a historical person. If this is not so, this does not alter his message. For containing the call, nothing to think just like that, but check the teachings of the Buddha by his own experience. He did not claim that he radiates a divine message and that is why his teachings are just as valid if they are not from a historical Buddha.
The message in the Buddha's teachings is not that a god does your sins for you. It is that enlightenment through self-knowledge and personal experience of each of us can be achieved without divine intervention.


Quite different is the case with Jesus Christ. The whole validity of the message depends on the messenger. Christ can only divine authority the sins of other people off. If Jesus was just a man but without connection to the supernatural, it would be according to the Christian understanding of a false prophet.
For unbelievers it is fit for a closer look, hardly a model for equitable, wise behavior. If there was such a man, he was a cult leader of the ordinary variety.

He promised a paradise where who leave their family and follow him and give her entire fortune to the poor. The latter in itself is probably a good thing, but means of course that it was for the now middle-less disciples almost impossible to leave the movement. Then there was the threat that all in the imminent apocalypse are not on his side, must suffer the torments of hell for all eternity. According to Christian teaching, it is impossible to escape through good deeds or learning from their own failures of hell, if you are not the right religion belongs. Either you're
on the side of Jesus or of the terrorists.

^"30 who is not with me is against me " (quote from Jesus in Matthew 12:30 and Luke 11:23)

BETWEEN CONCLUSION

In our search for the true nature of Jesus Christ, we initially considered four possibilities. He was,

A) God
B) human
C) Both
D) None of the above options

A) we can ausschließen.Wenn Christ is only God, but never as a supernatural being of flesh and blood on his sandals Earth has set falls apart the whole Christian message. Without the virgin birth, crucifixion and resurrection is the teaching that one can only be saved if you just think this makes no sense.

B) is possible, but unlikely. Was there a historical Jesus, who had little in common with the biblical Christ. As it made the alleged Life of Jesus is no record of him, it could however be just as good, that Christianity began as a Jewish apocalyptic sect, whose leaders have already referred to Christ. Perhaps the figure of Jesus and a collection of teachings of various individuals. Similar doctrines as that of the biblical Christ is in Judaism before (more on that later in this series).

Was it the historical Christ, he can not be easily reconstructed from the Bible. He would be lost in the mists of history and that would be a good thing.

C) Although no facts to speak for a historical Jesus, Christians must hold on to this option. The divine Jesus is a matter of faith. Yet he continues to advance a Jesus of flesh and blood, a physical entity which have left traces in our world.
Sure, you can not prove the nonexistence of a historical Jesus, just as the non-existence of goblins, or anything else in the universe. But given the lack of scientific evidence which one would expect the existence of a historical Jesus is a blind faith.
And when it comes to history, we have to approach us to better methods of reality as something very improbable to believe, until the contrary is proved.
The way of science is the opposite. Until you with something plausible show proof that may be, it is not true. If you claim something that is not supported by proof or evidence, you have to find this level and should not be surprised that it is not taken seriously before.

D) A governing principle of modern science is "Ockams razor" . After William of Ockham are in every scientific study those theories to be preferred, the other facts put the least advance. In the explanation of the origin of life on earth is a theory which states that life evolved on Earth, better than one that says that aliens came to earth and there have created life. For the second theory is already advance that there are aliens, a total unbelegbare statement.
we contact but at times the razor in Jesus. The possibility that supernatural elements were in the game means that such a thing as existing envisaged. The theory of Jesus as the natural man is preferable to Occhams principle, but still not ideal because it requires the unproven assumption of a historical person.

Neither Jesus as God, man or God-man are needed to explain the Christian religion. The origin of the main ideas, teachings and events of the New Testament, let alone by a development of existing evidence of earlier mythology plausible explanation.
This is the contents of the next part of our "Jesus Myth" series.

Except, of course, the world goes down before. But I would not bet on it.

MYTH OF JESUS (Part 2: Living the life of Galilee)


[PART 1: "The invisible man"]

tell you that he was the son of God. Others believe Jesus Christ to have a rabbi, whose lives have to be formed later legends.
But what was really at that time? Was Jesus God or man?
but sometimes we play both versions one by one and see how these two theories are plausible.

SAY WHAT?

Jesus said to have come to spread a divine message, the legend. But he behaved not as clever as you might expect from an omniscient God. He would just have to say anything then no one could know. He would have - at least for later generations - left a convincing proof of his divinity.

But his alleged statements contain nothing that would not have a normal human being 2000 years ago can tell. God insists in his new revelation on his view that the earth is flat (eg, Luke 4:5, Revelation 7:1, Hebrews 1:10).

The earth is not flat and not the center of the universe, it is several billion years old and revolves around the sun, which is of a trillion stars. If Jesus would have said something like - What did the damn skeptical, rational's Pagans for eyes made if a statement would have the Bible can be proven scientifically later!

But no, it spreads rather that people who are sick, blind or disabled, possessed by "demons" and "devils" and that it is healthy when one prays them hard enough. Thus, he advanced the then-medicine for 0 years!

Suppose Jesus was God come, and to spread the message of his love on earth.
it finds that it was successful? If he had as an omnipotent God can not people reveal all of the world? Or at least a majority of the people?
are today at least two thirds of the world is not Christian. And while Christianity is everywhere in our region at least in the past, there are many regions of the world where that was not Sun
Let's say God has changed and is now a loving God and not, as before in the Old Testament, a racist who says a certain group of people consider to be sacred and the others. Why he appears in only part of the world in which he had always always been? He wants to be but now instead of just "God of the Israelites," "God of all."

God it was probably better to show only specific people and the way to reveal himself with miracles, for which there are no more witnesses There. And we, the 99.99 ..% of humanity in the history of the so-must believe without miracles?

It does not look as if it was the divine purpose to reveal Himself to all people. Since there'd better's methods. He is God. Equipped with omnipotence, he should manage a halfway decent job. But maybe he wants to reveal not only yes, but the people do something good, because he so loves.



THANK GOD

^"16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have eternal life .
¹⁷ For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. "

(John 3:16-17)

Had the son of a loving God is the life of mankind can not improve something obvious?

If our creator could have explained to us, for example, that many diseases caused by poor hygiene be caused (rather than by "vicious", as Jesus says) - can be saved How many millions of lives would have in the past 2000 years

Jesus says, however, exactly? the opposite. He washed it not so with the hands, as we learn in an episode from the Gospel of Matthew (Chapter 15 ). This
come to Jesus and the Pharisees complain that he and his disciples do not wash their hands before eating. Jesus is angry and foul is called the Pharisees hypocrites.
His argument: he washes his hands, perhaps not, the Pharisees rocky but not people who have insulted their parents - which is more serious ...
He comes to the conclusion:

^"20 but to eat with unwashed hands does not defile the man." (Matthew 15:20)

But, Jesus, you genius!



WHY YOU SEND ME IN HELL (hell, hell)?

"God is Love"

(1 John 4:8)


God is love and therefore kill his child for us. Thus we some of us do not have to go to hell. But first he has invented the same time with Jesus and presented. Jesus spread the new concept of "hell", while offering a way out of it.

In the Old Testament makes no mention of hell or something similar. Satan there is no ruler of a world full of eternal torment, but keeps (- as we learn in the book of Job -) either on earth or in heaven, in the midst of God's children and the old gentleman.
Only Christ is the idea of eternal punishment after death.

The Old Testament again and again reported sinners, punished by God for their sins directly (and usually kills).
As people but also at that time were not completely stupid, for it would have at some point realized that it is not. Religion needed something new, bigger, to the people and spreading fear.

God kills you immediately, if you sin: Everyone knows from personal experience.
But if the punishment only comes after death, where they can look stupid as any other ...


You are not even a murderer or child molester must. According to Jesus you will go to hell when his brother a "fool" is the name (Matthew 5:22) or insulted the Holy Spirit. In the latter case, a forgiveness of that sin the way, is excluded from the beginning (Mark 3:29, Matthew 12:32). Could This Be Love? ..

NO WONDER

But now, take me, Jesus Christ would have been a normal man, no God, or the like.
A wise rabbi who went about preaching was baptized, told parables, and is added to later legends developed. Most non-religious people can make friends well with this view. But if you take all the miracles of Jesus, biblical biography, then you have already found the historical Jesus?

is so easy, unfortunately not. First, drop off quite a bit of important events that have shaped the character Jesus Christ prevail.

For example:

- The announcement of his birth by an angel
- The Birth of the Virgin Maria
- The star of Bethlehem
- The Birth of the "holy spirit" in the form of a dove at Jesus' baptism
- Satan tries to Jesus in the desert
- Angel "serve" Jesus in the desert
- Apostle to me nothing are you anything everything and leave to follow Jesus that they have just met just
- Jesus spits a blind man's eyes, whereupon he can see again
- The expulsion of "Devils"
- The feeding of the 5000
- The power of the 4000
- Jesus cursed a fig tree because This does not bear fruit (seriously)
- The Transfiguration (Jesus takes two apostles on a mountain begins to light up like crazy and float, appear Moses and Elijah and more nonsense of this kind)
- Jesus Devil conjures up on his desire for men into a herd of pigs, which then fall off a cliff and all die.
- The re-awakening of the dead
- Jesus makes a storm to disappear
- dozens of miracle cures
- Jesus runs on water
- The Apostle Peter is asked by Jesus to catch a fish in whose mouth are a coin for their stamp tax should. Prompt
happened just that - turning water into wine
- Jesus predicted that Judas betrays him and slandered him Peter and

- The Resurrection

TAUFTOUR

What remains? A few acts, places and names that say something about the historical Christ.
His mother should have been called Mary, he should have lived in Nazareth, a carpenter who worked and been baptized by John the Baptist be. But are reliable biographical information?

Let's start with John the Baptist. About which there are historical records, for example, the Jewish historian Josephus, who reports to John as a Jewish rebel, Jesus mentioned in this report but not a word.
to this but according to the Gospels, John have recognized the divinity of Christ and worshiped him. If that were true, that would have meant John followers would spontaneously become Christians, but recognize when their cult leader a man as God's son.

^"29 The next day John saw Jesus coming to him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which bears the sins of the world [...]
³⁴ ! And I saw it bare record, that this is God's Son. "

(John 1:29, 34)

But there are no reports or other reports on trailer a Jesus Christ from the first half of the first century, while supporters of John Taufbewegung are occupied.



MARIA JESUS!

What we know about the family of Jesus?
learn the earliest Gospel of Mark we hardly know anything about Joseph and Mary. Nothing about a virgin birth or the prophecy through an angel.
The story begins with John the Baptist. The family of Jesus first appeared on the third chapter, where Jesus denied his still nameless brothers and his mother and called in a good cult leader, his followers as the true family style.

^"31 And there was his mother and his brothers stood outside and sent to him and called him.
³² And the people sat around him. And They said to him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren without seek for thee
³³ And he answered them and said. Who is my mother and my brothers?
³⁴ And he looked round about on the disciples, who sat in a circle, and said, Behold my mother and my brothers
³⁵ For whoever does the will of God, who is my brother and my sister and my mother ".

(Mark 3:31-35)


throughout Mark's Gospel, Mary's name is mentioned only once, as is Jesus' son of Mary ". Much more we learn about Maria here .

is not only in the later Gospels of Matthew and Luke to the Virgin Mary in Luke's Gospel, she also meets an angel in a dream -. appears in Matthew the angel but her husband Joseph.

In John's Gospel, Jesus is with his mother at a wedding party. She asks him for a favor, after which Jesus asks his mother what he had really to do with her.

^"1 And on the third day was a marriage in Cana of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there
² Jesus and his. disciples were also invited to the wedding.
³ And since there was Gebrach wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine.
⁴ Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with you? My hour has not yet come. "

(John 2:1-4)


Otherwise we know nothing about the Virgin Mary. Jesus seems to have not particularly liked. He denied and insulted his mother and recommends to his followers the same.

^"26 If anyone comes to me and hate not his father, mother, wife, children, brothers, Sisters, even his own life that can not be my disciple. "

(Luke 14:26)



SAINT MARY

Maria then later acquired more prominence. In the 2nd century writings of several biographies for they invented. is It also reports the Assumption of Mary, to be published in the Gospels said nothing. Although the church such documents are not recorded in the canon, they said at the Assumption a dogma. one doubts a dogma that you can out of the church be thrown. Even if this dogma has no reference to the texts of the Bible. What the Church is always the truth, even when it is complete nonsense.

Another dogma Maria explained later to the eternal virgin. Jesus brothers and sisters who are mentioned in the Gospels, are now suddenly supposed to only "cousins". And who does not believe will not be saved. Among Catholics
is the worship of Mary to the point that many of them not only to keep the mother of Jesus, but for the "Mother of God."

suspects to a historical Maria, one must also remove it from the notes of everything supernatural. In the first written Gospel of Mark, however, is nothing unusual about her, said nothing about their virginity or the announcement of his birth by an angel. This is a story that was not written later.
(or earlier, but in other religions, but this in a later part of this series more.)

that remains is the fact that she was said to be married to Joseph and their children to have lived in Nazareth. True because at least that?



HE'S A REAL NOWHERE MAN, SITTING IN HIS NOWHERE LAND

The city of Nazareth for the first time in the Gospels (between 70-110 AD) mentioned in writing.
Not in the Old Testament and other writings to the year 70, not in Josephus, the Jewish historian from the late 1st Century, or his historian colleagues.

This is the territory of the former province of Galilee puny and was about 10% of the area of today's Netherlands. The Talmud - extensive accentuation of the Hebrews at the beginning of the 1st Millennium have been posted - lists in this area over 40 cities, even Josephus 65th One of them (the city "Japha") is located only 1.5 miles from the present-day Nazareth.
Even Paul, whose letters were written earlier than the Gospels mentioned in his writings, no city Nazareth. It is also not a single map from the lifetime of Jesus or received against the Nazareth was recorded.

In the fourth century traveled Helena, the mother of Constantine, the Christian emperor of Rome, the Holy Land to find the home of their Saviour Jesus Christ. What they found was not very spectacular. A single well, nothing else. Here is two hundred years have previously been a city large enough that they had a synagogue, is said to have taught in the Bible according to Jesus?

As locals from the region of the mother of the Emperor insured, however, have made this well, the Virgin Mary drew water, Helena built a church at this point. Also in the vicinity of a cave, said to have lived in the family of God, they built a church.
Thanks to the two churches was something that was previously only a well and a cave, now a pilgrimage site "Nazareth".
Man eagerly conducted excavations in order to win even more sacred relics. The only thing we found were a few graves. In the Hebrew culture of the time but they buried their dead away from the settlements, because deaths were considered unclean. That makes it even more unlikely that there the "Nazareth" to the Gospels was located. Most likely, people were buried there from surrounding towns, for example, from the nearby Japha.
As Christianity spread, attracted more and more believers, the pilgrimage site and slowly grew into a city. Today, Nazareth has about 65,000 inhabitants.

But that in the first century AD a town called Nazareth did exist, is extremely unlikely. Since no written records or archaeological evidence suggest it can be assumed that Nazareth is just as real as Duckburg, Taka-Tuka-Land, or Gotham City.


Other geographical information about Jesus' life are dubious. In Luke's Gospel reports that Jesus was supposedly born in Bethlehem because a census was carried out under Quirinius. In fact, there was a census under Quirinius in 6 AD
It had no means everyone in his hometown return, as reported in the Bible. The Romans were among the people where so just stayed, and prevented thus ironically a collapse of infrastructure and the outbreak of anarchy.

According to St. Matthew's Gospel finds King Herod (73-4 BC), that a chosen one is born. Because he fears, the holy child could be a danger to him, he decides to have killed all the children in Israel in two years. So Mary and Joseph flee to Egypt with Jesus.
should in fact such a million times the mass murder hardly have taken place without the traditions of which exist. But this is not the Sun . The event is not even mentioned in any of the other Gospels only in passing. The historian Josephus, who wrote a comprehensive biography of Herod mentioned nothing of the sort.



HEY, JOE

also about Jesus' alleged adoptive father Joseph not historical information are delivered. The New Testament gives his profession that Jesus takes over later, with the Greek word "Tekton".
This word was used incorrectly translated as "carpenter." The true but not exactly the case. A Tekton was probably a simple laborer who has done this time and the times. Also with wood tecton have worked, but not only or mainly. It was a profession in the social hierarchy at that time very stood down.
According to the genealogies in Matthew and Luke is Joseph but from the biblical King David (which it probably was not). Although King David is one of the most revered figures in the Old Testament, and there is also a Saviour is announced, which is to be an ancestor of David, there are extensive Hebrew records not a single tree that Josef included - either as a descendant of David, yet as the (adoptive) father of Jesus Christ.

The twelve apostles and the twelve disciples are not historically verifiable. According to the traditions of the Gospels, Jesus had twelve loyal followers. After Jesus' death are eleven of them to Apostles have been called - Judas was not the party.
because 12 more than 11 sounds, we still got a new guy on board. The task of the apostles should be to spread the message of Jesus' deeds and his teachings.

And how did they do that?

Not at all. The traditional biblical studies assumed that two of the apostles have written gospels, namely Matthew and John. As go these days but even the vast majority of the Christian Bible researchers assume that these gospels may be derived from the apostles, one can suppose that is true.

is from any of the twelve men allegedly received anything, no writings of them, nor reports about them, not even a tiny little side note.
there was no historical Jesus is, it's not surprising that he was no twelve disciples and apostles. But if it is a historical Jesus have been, created a movement that was to conquer half the world, he needed it most likely a few more than twelve disciples.



GOD OR NOT

should have if a historical Jesus Christ exists, we know nothing about his life.
Taking everything supernatural, all the wonders of the reports of the Gospels remains low. And even that little is historically dubious.

The most important information to identify a man this time clearly are his ancestors and his birthplace. About Jesus' ancestors, we know nothing. In the Bible two different pedigrees are handed down. Since they contain the Jewish faith extremely important figures such as Adam, Abraham, Isaac and King David's voice, both not very likely. But even if one would correspond to the two family trees of the truth, we still do not know which one. We can therefore say nothing certain about the ancestors of Jesus.
And not even the birth of Jesus Christ has survived. The two gospels that make this data call, two different historical fixed points that are apart but at least a decade.

It gets better: We not only have no (reasonable) idea when Jesus might have lived, we know not where. Yes, where did the actually come from, this Jesus of Nazareth?

There is no reason that it has in the first century really been a city. Speaking against it just not as bad is likely that not all small town (at least they should have had a synagogue) in a fairly small area is simply lost. Throughout their existence, no one should have only briefly mentioned once somewhere? And then all will still remains have dissolved the city within a few decades spontaneously in air?

If there had been a historical Jesus, we knew nothing about his life. But perhaps the Biblical legends have not formed around the exploits of a historical Jesus, but whose teachings. To this point it goes in the next part of our "Jesus Myth" series.

One of these lessons we have already mentioned:

^"26 If anyone comes to me and hate not his father, mother, wife, children, brothers, sisters, even his own life, which can not be my disciple. "

(Luke 14:26)

Until the next time you can already times a little practice to hate your family and your life from the soul - How does one become a good Christian man.

MYTH OF JESUS (Part 1: The invisible Man)


Many people believe in Jesus Christ. And even most of the unbelievers are sure that behind the Bible stories a real man, a historical Jesus of Nazareth.
But there really was ever such a man?

SON OF GOD

lived about two thousand years man, on both legends and historical facts have survived well. Myths tell that he was born of a virgin. Not only that, he even should have been son of a god.

The speech is of course of Octavian, who later became a Roman Kaiser took the name Augustus. His adoptive father Julius Caesar was the Roman Senate officially declared "God," as well as Augustus after his death years 14

the historical Jesus Christ would have been as to the eighteen years old this year. In
0 it can not be born, because Herod is mentioned in the Bible as the ruling king. And that is - as archeological discoveries prove - in 4 BEFORE Christ died.

About Augustus, there are numerous records obtained from his life. There are reports written by contemporaries and historians, by itself, there are archaeological writings Finds such as coins, statues and inscriptions, which show an undeniable mark in history. He was "only" Emperor of Rome.

Jesus is said to have brought about miracles, however. They were certainly not normal. He is said to have fed 5,000 people with a few loaves and fish (and it's even been what remained). A chapter later in the same gospel nor a feed of the reported 4000th The're at 9000 witnesses a miracle.

Jesus first miracle in John's Gospel is turning water into wine at a wedding party. As many as three times he brought witnesses before the dead back to life.
According to the Gospels, he will be far been around, in many done in public places, cities have miraculous healing and we have kept in front of large crowds sermons. Moreover
saw him supposedly several people - after he had already died. It must be noticed also.

As might be assumed that there were tons of written records from this period are accounts of Jesus miraculous deeds and spread his teachings. Or at least mention his name. Yet it is not so.



WHERE DOES IT WORK?

It not a single written word of Jesus is narrated in person. Not a syllable.

But not only that it spends the entire time, said to have lived in Jesus, not a single written record. Nowhere.
funny already.

The four Gospels of the Bible we know today were created after a period of four decades. The first was released but not before around 70 AD.
held in the forty years after Jesus' death, it said none of the apostles or anyone else bother to these exciting stories of the Son of God, or write his revolutionary views.

But all of a sudden booming Jesus stories. At that time there was at least equal to sixty Gospels.
was not until the fourth century, all books that are in today's Bible, for the first time in a compilation gathered. They opted for the Gospels of Mark, Luke, John and Matthew. These names, however, was only assigned later, the original author is not mentioned.



THE ALTERNATIVE BIBLE

before and afterwards but other stories about Jesus when Christians were well known.
Such as the Gospel of Thomas, which only contains quotes from Jesus. Here you can read it. A small taste:

" (14) Jesus said to them: If you fast, you will write you a sin and when you pray, you shall condemn be, and when you give alms, you will do evil in your mind. "

" (71) Jesus said: I will destroy this house, and nobody will be able to rebuild it. "

" (98) Jesus said: The kingdom of the Father is like a man who wanted to kill a great man. He moved into his house the sword and pierced the wall to find out whether his hand would be strong enough. Then he killed the nobles. "

(114) Simon Peter said to them: Mary should go away from our midst, because women are not worthy of life. Jesus said, Behold, I will pull them to make them male, so that it becomes a living spirit, comparable with you men. . For every woman who makes herself male will enter the kingdom of heaven "

" (7) Jesus said: Blessed is the lion that eats the man and the lion become man, and cursed is the man the lion eats, and the lion become man. "

Have you seen this with the lions?" I do not. It is also interesting that Jesus forbids prayer.
were also there because, for example, nor the Gospel of Judas , Maria and many others.



I IS NOT AFRAID OF NO GHOST

with a selection of biographies of Jesus, the church some time, which revealed divine "truth" was and what is not. They justified their authority so that the "holy spirit" that inspired the Bible writers, was also in the selection of texts in the game.

How credible you can find - that an institution that claims to know, a divine revelation, this is due to the actions of a spirit that can not see nobody else except them - it was once found along.

AND OTHERS SO

are in the New Testament Gospels handed down next to the still earlier writings about Jesus. The letters of Paul, but draw a very different picture of Jesus. He is considered more spiritual, spectacular wonders of Paul loses nothing.
Nothing about the life of Christ, not a single literal tradition of Jesus we find in Paul's writings. Not told about the Blessed Virgin, the star of Bethlehem, Nazareth, Joseph, Mary, Judas, Pontius Pilate, John the Baptist, etc
In the Bible, that Paul should have known a person of the apostles, namely Peter, the supposed founder of the Church and the first pope (after switch Heaven's Gate). He should have told him nothing had become of all the wonders and sign of our man of God?

It is believed, however, that is the oldest text about Jesus, who has made it into the modern Bible, the Revelation of John. In the Book of Revelation, the last book of the Bible, it is the struggle between Jesus and the monster 666, the anti-Christ. The whole text is a surreal trip, in which Jesus appears only as a supernatural being. About one man, Jesus Christ, the book says nothing.



WHO'S YOUR DADDY?

In two of the Gospels, where family trees of Jesus. The conflict, however, obvious: They call not only various alleged ancestors, but also a different number of generations. Said Lukas calls 40, Matthew, but only 25 generations between Jesus and King David. Both family trees lead to Jesus Father Josef.
It is believed the Gospels of Luke and Matthew, Joseph was not the real father of Jesus, but God.
is the earliest Gospel of Mark of a virgin birth, however, no mention.
Not even in the oldest, probably caused by 110 AD, the Gospel of John. Two of the four officially recognized biographer of Christ found this detail probably not worth mentioning. It managed
example, a bizzare Episode in the Gospel of Mark where Jesus cursed a fig tree because of the (off season) bear any fruit. But not the virgin thing.
Should we really believe that Mark knew the author, that Jesus was a virgin mother at birth, it was not worth mentioning for his biography? Son of a virgin, who cares about that? ..



DO NOT FIT ...

Because the early Christians no reports on their beloved Jesus could be found in historical records, which they simply forged. As for Josephus Flavius, the Jewish-Roman historian. The was busted because they was rather clumsy and stupid as in the 4th Century first appeared - although the text is from the second century.
historians argue today about what Josephus originally from the year 93 AD, wrote it. They are united, however, that the now well-known text of Christians has long been manipulated after its publication.

Upcoming supposed references in the history originated from the 2nd Century AD. The Roman historian Suetonius wrote
120 AD, a Roman decree from the year 49: "The Jews, who stirred up by some Chrestos, continually incited unrest, sales he from Rome. "
" Christos "was then a common name for slaves and freed slaves, meaning" good. " Even if Jesus Christ had meant it occupies the highest, that in the beginning of the second century were people who believed in a Christ. The dispute, however, no one.
Darin to see a non-biblical evidence of the historical existence of Jesus Christ is risky. Or desperate.

There is a short passage about Jesus in the historian Tacitus, which is to date from 117th Which is however also not very controversial. Scientifically proven, however, that in the original document something about "chrestianos stand (trailer a "Christos") and was subsequently in "Christianos" (follower of Christ "corrected). That early Christians such forgeries were necessary for talks was not necessarily that Jesus is historically proven.

And even if Tacitus and Suetonius as "Christos" is actually the biblical "Jesus Christ" to mean, even if the fake site by Josephus in the original engineered passage mentions Christ, does not change anything from the fact that by the year 1992 to Christ is not a single passage in any historical records are - whether real or fake - which mention a Jesus Christ.



WILL NOT HAVE SEEN'S ...

^"52 And the earth shook and the rocks rent, the graves were on, and were many bodies of the saints, because the slept
⁵³ and came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city and appeared to many . "

(Matthew 27:52-53)

This is the Matthew Evagelium reports on the death of Jesus Christ.
Holy Zombies in Jerusalem? ..
That sounds not really like something that many decades No one writes down who has experienced something like time or has heard of credible witnesses.
Also there is no record of it that is supposed to have after the death of Jesus, allegedly the world according to the Bible not the sun shone for three days.

NO NAME

So there was a historical Jesus? No, there were even many Jesuses (Jesus's ?)...

from more than a half dozen Jesus - or wieauchimmer is the plural - there are written records. "Jesus" was no name, but a title. It means "God saves". Several leaders of Jewish rebels called themselves this time Jesus. Only our favorite Jesus of Nazareth, known from radio and television, which unfortunately is not it.

also "Christ" is a religious title that means "the anointed one." At that time, kings were not crowned, but anointed. (Think of Prince Charles at a time the world powers before anointing -. ... Fortunately, I'd rather not be abolished)
The Hebrew word for "Christ" is the way, "Messiah".
"Jesus Christ" is thus a (dual track). Like Santa Claus, Master of the Universe or Super Man The real name of Jesus we find nowhere else.
Jesus Christ is literally a no name.



STERN ON BETHLEHEM

From his life we learn from the biblical gospels of Jesus' birth, and only from the time of his baptism and his death (and beyond).

The famous Christmas story of Jesus' birth in Bethlehem appears in the earliest gospel (Mark) to not at all. Even the Gospel of John silent.
The first surviving reports of stable, manger, the Magi (in the Bible, however, neither kings nor referred to as three, but as a "way from the East"), Stern, frankincense, gold, etc. - you know the story - thus stem from the later Gospels, Luke and Matthew. Their time of origin was probably somewhere between 70 and 100 AD.

If this event had really taken place, it would be, as I said, not been in year 0.
In one of the Gospels mentions King Herod, who died at about 4 before our era, in another contrast, a large census, which, as we now know, occurred in year 6 AFTER Christ's alleged birth in the year 0 had. Between 64 and 104 years passed, then, until the story was written for the first time. This can hardly be an eye-witness account, in a time when the average life expectancy was about 30.

Alternative explanations of the origin of the stories in the Gospels, but many: More about that in a later part of this series.

much to be said against a historical Jesus Christ, not help it. Except it wants very, very doll. This is called "faith."
