Spoiler:
Jesus never existed... Jesus is a myth
There are zero... yes ZERO... contemporary reports of Jesus... ZERO historians wrote about him
It was not until 30+ years after he died before his name is even mentioned... anywhere... even in the bible
There are ZERO non-biblical sources for the name Jesus before 300AD (not even a great-great-great-great-grandson of a witness recorded the event)
ZERO people wrote about Jesus within 30 years of his death... ZERO people accurately recorded his teachings (can you recall the exact words someone told you 30+ years ago?)
Not to mention every event, and many of the sayings of Jesus were recorded in other religions prior to christianity... nothing is unique... the virgin birth, death, resurrection... all copied from earlier religions
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/apr/14/what-is-the-historical-evidence-that-jesus-christ-lived-and-diedWhat did non-Christian authors say about Jesus?
As far as we know, the first author outside the church to mention Jesus is the Jewish historian Flavius Josephus, who wrote a history of Judaism around AD93. He has two references to Jesus. One of these is controversial because it is thought to be corrupted by Christian scribes (probably turning Josephus’s negative account into a more positive one), but the other is not suspicious – a reference to James, the brother of “Jesus, the so-called Christ”.
About 20 years after Josephus we have the Roman politicians Pliny and Tacitus, who held some of the highest offices of state at the beginning of the second century AD. From Tacitus we learn that Jesus was executed while Pontius Pilate was the Roman prefect in charge of Judaea (AD26-36) and Tiberius was emperor (AD14-37) – reports that fit with the timeframe of the gospels. Pliny contributes the information that, where he was governor in northern Turkey, Christians worshipped Christ as a god. Neither of them liked Christians – Pliny writes of their “pig-headed obstinacy” and Tacitus calls their religion a destructive superstition.
...Nevertheless, a recent survey discovered that 40% of adults in England did not believe that Jesus was a real historical figure... (editor's note: nice factoid!)
Why you keep lying, Moloch? Is that fear? Stop being so emotional, my friend
That's a lovely cut-and-paste propaganda job... but it's factually incorrect
Flavius Josephus'
Testimonium is a
known forgeryhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Josephus_on_JesusLouis Feldman has stated that in the period from 1937 to 1980 at least 87 articles had appeared on the topic, the overwhelming majority of which questioned the total or partial authenticity of the Testimonium. While early scholars considered the Testimonium to be a total forgery, the majority of modern scholars consider it partially authentic, despite some clear Christian interpolations in the text
although twelve Christian authors refer to Josephus before Eusebius in 324 AD, none mentions the Testimonium
Scholars also point to the silence of Photios as late as the 9th century, and the fact that he does not mention the Testimonium at all in his broad review of Josephus
A separate argument from silence against the total or partial authenticity of the Testimonium is that a 5th or 6th century table of contents of Josephus makes no mention of it
In The Witness To The Historicity of Jesus, Arthur Drews stated that "in the sixteenth century Vossius had a manuscript of the text of Josephus in which there was not a word about Jesus."
"Neither of these passages is found in the original version of the Jewish Antiquities which was preserved by the Jews. The first passage (XVII, 3, 3) was quoted by Eusebius writing in c. 320 C.E., so we can conclude that it was added in some time between the time Christians got hold of the Jewish Antiquities and c. 320 C.E. It is not known when the other passage (XX, 9, 1) was added... Neither passage is based on any reliable sources. It is fraudulent to claim that these passages were written by Josephus and that they provide evidence for Jesus. They were written by Christian redactors and were based purely on Christian belief."
You're wrong... literally
ZERO historians mention Jesus within 300 years of his death... Josephus is a
proven forgery... care to try again?
Even if Josephus was legitimate (which it is most certainly not)... it was supposedly written in 97AD... 64 years after Jesus died...
The first supposed mention of Jesus, a god-man who supposedly performed miracles in front of THOUSANDS of people, was 64 years after he died? suspicious!
Josephus was not even born until 37AD... 3 years after "Jesus" died
Is that the best you have? Flavius Josephus, born 3 years after "Jesus" died... wrote Jesus' name down when he was 67? (again, it didn't happen... proven forgery)
