Did Jesus Exist?

Did Jesus exist?

• You could probably loudly declare that there is no doubt that Jesus did exist, but ...
• The character may have existed as person or another, but the complete Jesus of the gospels never existed.
• The Jesus of the gospels was a composite construction and invention.

Christianity came into existence at a time when there was a three-edged war between

• Nero's decadent regime
• Roman clans desperate in saving the Roman empire
• rebellion outbreaks inspired by Jewish resistance/rebellion

1. Rebel Collaborators?
   Have you asked yourselves how it is possible that the gospels of Jesus cast the rabbi-rebel leaders of the Jewish resistance as collaborators with the Nero regime to murder your messiah-god-idol? How could the die-hard rebels have collaborated with the Romans to murder your god?
   
   How is it possible that the Christian gospels and Pauline epistles speak nothing about the Jewish resistance?
   
   Why did the Christian gospels discourage rebellion or resistance against the Roman govt?
   


2. Hell
   
   • Jews were surrounded by pagans who believed in fiery destructive hell for nearly 2000 years, but yet from the book of Genesis to Malakhi, there is not one description of the Chrestiano pagan hell?
   • And yet suddenly, with the new religion called Christianity, it was replete with all the paganistic description of hell? WHY???
   • Therefore, there is not a single Torah commandment that talks about punishment by hell.
   • How is it that a newly revealed god of mercy would also suddenly created an eternal hell of damnation?
   
   
3. Deliberate mistranslations
   Have you ever investigated the Hebrew of the Bible and were surprised to learn that the English translations had added extra words and redefined the meanings of Hebrew words? Do you know that the motive behind translating the Bible, is that any Hebrew passage that contradicts Christian doctrine, must have its grammar twisted and concepts added to ensure the translation is in alignment with Christian theology?
   
   
4. Therefore, in a concocted religion, you have both the advantages translating Jewish scriptures the way you need it and then concocting history to fit those "prophesies".
   
   
5. Apostleship of Paul.
   250 years later, the Romans found that they had to cut Christianity loose from its Jewish constraints and invented yet another figure to write the Pauline epistles. Why would Peter and James refuse to admit Paul's apostleship?
   
   If Paul were real, it would be logical and expedient for Peter and James to appoint Paul as an apostle, regardless of an earlier appointment having been made. But of course, how could a fairy tale modify another fairy tale that was concocted 250 years earlier?
   
   Classic movie sequeling problem - the clumsy modification of the prequel to fit in a new story line of a new sequel.
