Quote:I'd like to understand what the basis of so many posts here are claiming that Jesus past existence is an unlikelihood.

Jesus exists nowhere except in the pious prattle of believers who, judging from the multiplicity of early sects, could not even agree on what they believed in.  To make matters worse we know that this pious prattle was extensively edited by later writers in a need to make it conform to what turned out to be the winning formula.

No Greco-Roman writer so much as mentions the name "jesus" until the late 2d century.  A number of Greco-Roman writers mention "Christus" but it seems they might have been talking about "Chrestus" until some helpful xtian scribes gave them some help with their spelling.

Read "On the Historicity of Jesus" by Richard Carrier.  Modern scholarship with out the pious blather. 

P.S.  Mohammed has the same problem.
