R. G. Price - On the Mythic Jesus

[Hunted By A Freak]

http://www.rationalrevolution.net/articl...tory.htm#3

The majority of people in the world today assume or believe that Jesus Christ was at the very least a real person. Perhaps he wasn't really "the Messiah", perhaps he was not "The Son of God", and perhaps he didn't actually perform miracles and rise from the dead, but he really was a great moral teacher who traveled around Galilee with followers and got arrested by the Jews and crucified by the Romans right?

Not likely. In fact, a close examination of the evidence shows that the best explanation for the story of "Jesus Christ" is what we call "mythology". The case that I will be outlining here is that there never was any "Jesus Christ" nor any meaningful real life basis for the story of "Jesus Christ".

It's funny how skeptics think they understand the bible in it's totality. Never realizing that they only have a small glimpse of the overall picture

Like many other religious figures, "Jesus Christ" began as a theological concept, was later used as a character in allegorical stories, and was then historicized as someone whom people believed really existed. The belief in a literal "human" Jesus most likely emerged as eucharist rituals and theology developed around the concept of the "flesh" and "blood" of Christ and these concepts merged with allegorical narratives about the figure.

Can someone here give me a time frame for when this theological concept was first started or by whom? Fine I'll read the article....let you know what I think some other day, but really this is to easy to debunk.
