The Jesus story has details that is most definitely made up i just realized!!!

[Fake Messiah]

I do not know where Richard Carrier is getting his money these days; to my knowledge, he never secured a teaching position at any of the 3K+ colleges across North America.  He is kind of like a medical school graduate who never became a doctor, but instead, decided to drive a taxi for a living.

Hey you know how it is: to work for university that examines New Testament historicity you usually must acknowledge that Jesus was a historical person or you lose your job. For instance Paulogia spoke and showed recently how university for which William Lane Craig works demands you first sign a paper that you believe how Jesus resurrected and that Bible is inerrant



Look at the video it is shortly after 19.00

the historical record

But what historical record? Bible?

Jesus was a Jewish, apocalyptic prophet

But why focus on Jesus being apocalyptic prophet? Why not Violent Zealot Revolutionary? I mean this is what Reza Aslan and few other claim. You know a political messiah, inciting a revolt against the Romans, like Theudas or “the Egyptian,” the unnamed Messianic figure Josephus describes, or the two “robbers” crucified with Jesus (since rebel bandits were commonly referred to as robbers). Are you saying you know more than Reza Aslan?

Or why not see him as a Nonviolent Pacifist Resister? As Bruce Malina and others have argued, Jesus isn’t called the Prince of Peace for nothing. Are you saying you know more than Bruce Malina?
