If there was a Historic Jesus, nothing said or done in the gospels is reliable,  so he might as well never have existed

Josephus Flavias  a Jewish aristocrat wrote about 20 characters of Jesus. From different events. Then the entry where he wrote about Jesus the anointed one was highly suspicious and there is evidence for it being inserted into his writings. It gave no mention of the prophecy or miracles of the character in the fake bible.

All that is in the Bible is absolutely true because the Easter Bunny and Santa Clause said so

28:22 The writer of the New Testament was the Marcionites. See Christ Before Jesus.

Like Jesus hauled an entire wardrobe of nice clothes around in steamer trunks, fine enough to gamble over.
All he probably owned was the linen garment he had on his back.

AND the mythology of Noah causes me to question the existence of Babylon...

Someone who speaks directly, without a bunch of tip-toeing and padding. With actually depth of knowledge as well. One doesn’t see that everyday. Pretty sure you’re my new hero.

Once an equitable understanding comes about to counter the Mythological/ Theological SPELL OF A THOUSAND YEARS OF LIES,  I believe people will understand the intense symbology that is in "REVELATION".   What I predict at this stage is that  PROPHECY,  HISTORY,  and THEOLOGY---even LAW & JUSTICE,  just as examples,   were foreseen to become the "POWERS AND PRINCIPALITIES"  that humanity is now merely recognizing--- but  still unable to actually  "Wrestle with"  in a competent manner.  "THEY' are giants,  and the individual is nothing,  unless equipped with Divine Truth.

Religion is made up story speculation... No one knows about the entity of Creator/s ... Love your life to the fullest be good to others and die peacefully

This is a pretty solid model. Proof is too strong a word; proofs only exist in math and logic. And philosophies have used logic to come to very different world views. Probabilities however,  are compounding to nearly “beyond reasonable doubt” levels in favor of something between 90 percent legend and complete myth.

It's also important to note that Ps 22 was never written to refer to a messiah. Ps 22 was written about the Nation of Israel. Christians not only copied Ps 22 to create a messiah character after the fact, but they completely took it out of context.

Three fib rule applies.

Very interesting, thank you.

One point you didn't touch on: the writers of the Gospels did not know the Jewish texts they referenced.

There are too many mistakes.

These mistakes replicate the Greek translations of the Jewish texts.

Palestine had become part of the Greek World with Alexander, and the elites and ruling classes began to speak and write in Greek after that time.

So it seems likely the Gospels were written by Greek not Aramaic speakers, or at least those who had little or no knowledge of the Hebrew texts.

Thank you so much for this series. You're doing invaluable work, Sir.

The casting of lots thing never made much sense to me. If the story was true,  why would they even want Jesus' garments?  They would be torn by the cross he carried,  and covered in blood.  They'd have been better to burn them

Just more self-evidence that Paul never knew about such things because the Myth of Jesus and his acts hadn't been formulated YET by the writers of the Gospels. Who are CONVENIENTLY Anonymous,.~ It really doesn't take a Genius to understand that the Myth of Jesus is something that took Generations ~

They were trying to create something to tie it all together and offer hope with historical references to the defeated. Romans were formidable. Maybe less copying snd more attempting to tie it all together by showcasing the scripture it fulfilled. If the hope of messiah was fulfilled, and especially not in the physical sense, the wars and killing could stop. Romans wanted god to be a man. So Constantine rebranded the movement accordingly. This flipped any connection to a real Yeshua brother of Janes snd way shower. It sealed the deal on the enduring fighting and killing.

Once I learned about midrash and pesher, that these styles of writing were quite popular or not.al,,, it was GAME OVER!
I didn't think they made fan fiction back then, that's just a modern style of writing...
Also a scholar said in platos schooling they had the students specifically make up stories from other stories as homework!!!
Then perhaps Marcion or whomever decided these are good enough works to decieve nations, let's use them!

Going right to the heart of the matter. Constructed narratives from OT. Christianity is a  complete fabrication - the supposed OT messianic prophecies  where EVERY prophesy is taken out of context, no attributed authorship, NO contemporary accounts,  no resurrection appearances to leaders and authors of the time, risen Jesus being a body of flesh yet magically appearing and passing through walls, contradictions, growing myth of resurrection from gospel to gospel etc etc.

😅😅  ha ha how can Jesus not exist when bible says He lives within the true believing born again Christian and that's the solid truth Thank God. Join us there's room at the cross for you. Blessings
