But it's not evidence of Jesus' existence to say that his name could have been in those records which now don't exist. And it's not just the execution records, it's all other contemporary records which somehow fail to mention anything about him at all.

In case you haven't heard Tracie's Fallacy Model...

When I started doing this, Jesus was based on Bacchus. Then it was Mithras. Lately it's Horus.

All of the above.

The dying/resurrected god was a recurring motif in the ANE.


Quote:the Gospels are being written 30 years after Jesus


Minimum....but an actual jesus is not needed to create the story any more than there was a real Bacchus, Mithras, or Horus behind those stories.
