Hi Len, are these writings you mention, peer reviewed please???

He was made up years later and fitted into the actual history of the time. This is partly why there are scriptures that are said to apply to him and have nothing to do with him at all. This is also why there are 2 completely different genealogies given for Jesus and some preachers try to explain it away by saying one is also tracing him through Mary. Sorry. The Jews would never ever do that. It's all made up. They try desperately to get Jesus to fit in as Messiah and they miss the mark. Since the Messiah was an earthly king and leader the next hurdle would be to explain just why he was killed and came back as zombie Jesus.
Was the entire thing to convince the Jews not to fight Rome because they had already killed their Messiah? The best I can tell you is that certain Gospels were written after 70 AD and the big battle that happened then.

Have a look at the attached and look at the common denominators in each religion. Look also at the time difference between the revarious religions.

Hi, would you like to advise where is can read these accounts please?

I don't know one way or another if Jesus ever exists; but it's more his parentage that I question.

Here is a thought…Maybe there was a Jesus. I think of it this way…There is a group of young men who hang out and socialize together. They drink wine and talk about a myriad of different subjects, religion, politics, and social and economic injustices of the time. In the group, there is a young carpenter who is philosophical in his thinking and has many ideas, thoughts, and opinions on how to improve all these things.

This young carpenter dies at a young age and the group of men goes on with their lives and careers. A few stay in touch and continue to socialize and often talk about the carpenter and his ideas. At some point, they each decide to write down some of these ideas in story form making the carpenter the central character of the story, the hero. A sort of what if kind of thing.

Storytelling is not new, neither is fiction writing. The problem may be that what was fiction has been redefined as a documentary.

Could you imagine what kind of religion we would have in a couple of thousands of years from now if the original manuscripts by Dan Brown and Stephen King were discovered? Can you imagine a “Clown” as the devil?

Jesus was a charismatic schizophrenic.

No smoke without fire. I bet there was a Jesus who was a bit clever and stould out.

And to think that Islam and Mormonism, among other religions, “build” on that. P. T. Barnum was right in predicting that there's no lack of suckers.

Yes this is what I've come to understand. I agree with the scholars who feel that Jesus was likely a combination of mythical characters tailored to fit into a believable historical tale to deceive the commoners, and suit the needs of the government at the time.

I don't think jeezy ever existed.

Did you know there is no trace of Nazareth itself until the second century? Even Joesephus, who traveled all over the area, and lived less than a mile from that location, and made mention of every other water hole for a hundred miles, never mentions Nazareth.
And the Archeology itself is 2nd century and later.
