How Jesus became God.

[abaris]

Why?  That Jesus was a Jewish apocalyptic preacher seems to fit all of the historical evidences.

There are no real histoical or archeological evidences. The Roman's didn't report on him. There's no base for the trial of Jesus happening at all, other than the obvious fact that Pilate was indeed governor of the province. All in all, nothing stands the test of history. Starting with Roman trial procedures up to the grave that was supposedly granted to Jesus. Some traitor being crucified would have been left on his cross to rot as a warning to everyone and certainly not granted the dignity of a burial.

Might have been that a person named Jesus existed. Might also be that several persons like that roamed the land. Palestine wasn't exactly poor on nutters preaching at the time. Ehrman is one of the select few arguinng for a historic Jesus. But he's not a historian but a theologian and his work on analysing the bible and it's veracity features quite a lot of methodical errors.
