For People Who Think There Was No Historical Jesus
RE: For People Who Think There Was No Historical Jesus
(February 23, 2013 at 5:16 pm)traveller Wrote: There are many references to both Jesus and Christianity in ancient texts, not just religious ones, the problem being is that they are two hundred years earlier than the current Gregorian calendar i.e 200 BC. Ok I hear you say just a mix up with the calender changeover?
But, the other things to remember when quoting bible extracts is that there are so many versions, UK even have their own (King George Bible) where King George broke all relations with the Church and the papal teachings in 1769, and had his own version written, omitting over 60% of previous versions.
But really should we be discussing quotes from the bible as proof of a historical Jesus? Surely for an atheist the question should be is there a god, if not all other stories are irrelevant as without a god, Moses did not receive the ten commandments, which in older texts were many more than ten! Read book of the covenants.
Muslims, Jews and many more all have bits of stories quoted in Christianity, so was the Christian bible just plagiarism of older religions, but picking the stories they liked the most, after all, there is nothing mentioned in the Christian Bible from Jesus Birth until he was around 34 years old, surely if the birth was recorded, the rest of his growing would have been?
I'm sorry to ramble on but I feel so strongly, that all religions are all based on the same historical events, try reading the Koran or the Tanakh, or come to that any of the religions. (To quote from the world Christian encyclopedia There are 19 major religions, 270 large religions and many smaller ones) You may have gathered I do not believe there was a god, but I am not an atheist, I believe in scientific fact and have recently converted to Creatoism. see creatoism.com
