World's Oldest Christian Church discovered in Jordan!!

RE: World's Oldest Christian Church discovered in Jordan!!
Its not impossible that the person Jesus of Nazareth exicted. But since, as chatpilor said, are every story based on hearsay and they who wrote it down didnt know the guy.

Its quite possible that havent exicted that he was ficitonal. Like Santa or someone like that. I mean Muhammed do we know exicted not only because the things written in the koran (curan? dont know how its spelled in english) but also in other texts confirming that he acctully was a living breathing person. But the things that he was supposed to have done, for example seeing angels and so on is of course just something made up. He were clearly hallucinating or somehting.

Like I wrote earler is the most posilben thing that- if he exicted- were not so specially importent. Not dangerous for the romans or people that didnt liked his ideas and were not sepcially popular. No texts or evidence about that Jesus have never been discovered or seen anywere. If he were a threat for the romans, in a rebellic way, then they would mention him. But it seem more like he just were just one of many activits.

But! Since he now have whole religion based on him, which only a apopular guy can get, is the REALLY possible thing that its just a mythical, ficitonal carachter. Probably based on diffrent stories, maybe about other people. The image of him is probably a mixture of diffrent legendary persons in diffrent myths. The name Jesus were probably the name of one of those charcters that became the name of the Jesus Christ in the bible. The year he was supposed to be born was prboably the time when the story about some being son to god started to spread. probalby someone who claimed he was that, which probably was many because during taht time did many claim similar things like Jeusus suppose to have done in the bible.

I will do some more research about this, it´s fun thing to learn more about. Then I will start a thread were I write down my conclusion about this. I believe that the origin of the story about Jesus of naxareth (the christ) is very complicated and older then we think it is. At the time the bible was written which was 50 years or more after Jesus death. But since it took a very long time spreading a story or religion at that time indicates that myth about Jesus must be older. The bible were surely wirtten at the time it was beginning to become quite popular, enough popular to be conicdering to be written down which only educated people could do. in other words rich people or priests of some sort.

Anyway I will try to dig in to this more, when I have time and start a new thread to find out the origin of the myth about Jesus.
