Was nothing at all... according to the verse in 2 Chronicles 7:14.... And even according to his very own admission in Luke 16:31... So... no... Jesus was utterly and totally useless and pointless... and his weekend of BDSM with strapping Italians in domineering uniforms was a farce...

There is one verse in the Quran that all by itself proves the Quran an abject turpitude. Q66:12... it is invariably translated deceptively to obfuscate from the travesty it is. The proper translation: Q66:12 Mary daughter of Imran who guarded her فرج so we blew into it from our spirit and she...

Jesus lied...

What most people fail to understand is that Christianity is a WARRANT for villainy. I will say that again Christianity RATIFIES evil. Any villain aspirant loves Christianity. That is why Constantine adopted it. A person who TRULY and seriously believes in the TENETS of Christianity knows that...

You must believe that Jesus existed!

Did God ever say that Jesus is his Son? Hello all. The other day, I promised to give ‘The Big Dog’ $20.00 if he can find me even one passage in the Bible where God says that Jesus is his son. He responded with a quote from Matthew 3:17 which states: As soon as Jesus was baptized, He went up...

I think the NT texts arose over time out of a Gnostic/Jewish/pagan millieu after the First Jewish War. I think they represent new theology that arose in response to the Jewish/Hebrew distress over the Fall of the Temple; as a result of various groups of the Diapora being placed in pagan or...

Greetings all :) Remsberg made a list years ago, of early writers who could have mentioned Jesus Christ, yet did not - but the list was bare of details like dates and subjects. It's been frequently repeated and updated, (I even made a poor earlier attempt at it myself,) and recently Michael...

Defending a historical Jesus This is a continuation from another thread here: http://www.internationalskeptics.com/forums/showthread.php?t=313197&page=11 I've titled this "For Kapyong", but anyone can jump in at any time. This thread is for me to defend my claim that the evidence is strong to...

Gday all :) I tend to the view that Jesus Christ was a myth. A view I formed after decades of practice and study and research about him, eventually determining the mythical view to be the best explanation for the evidence. NOT because I'm an angry atheist trying to bring the church down :)...

A little background, I saw a discussion of if Jesus had a wife on another forum. I wrote that we cannot be sure enough of even the existence of Jesus to meaningfully discuss it. Suddenly a bunch of people started going nuts about me even suggesting it including a number of non believer. Now, I...

Sorry if the connection between Jesus and Hercules has been discussed and if it has please let me know in which thread. If it hasn't been discussed in detail I think it's interesting that the story of Jesus is basically the story of Hercules. - Both were born by a mortal woman from a male god...

Gday all, Here is an essay that may interest readers - Where did the 'H' come from? What does it stand for ? <SNIP> Edited for rule 4. Content available at the link below removed. http://kapyong.5gbfree.com/JesusHChrist.html

After my last thread "Can one disprove Jesus' resurrection?" ended in a debate over whether it is possible to disprove things, I wish to ask a different question: What are the three strongest, most direct pieces of evidence against Jesus' transfigured resurrection? By the "transfigured"...

I have a hard time understanding how Jesus' mindset of Messianic martyrdom would be compatible with him being a fraud. It would be more compatible with a simple case of delusion (eg. a Messiah complex), but the miraculous claims about Jesus by the early Christians, like walking on water...

When Jesus finally does return most Christians will be expecting to an individual who fits the following description: A blonde haired, blue eyed, white male, who goes by the name Jesus, who was born on December 25th, considers himself to be a Christian or the son of God, or God in the flesh...

This is the continuation of the Historical Jesus thread found HERE. This was done for length only. Feel free to quote older posts in this thread. Thank you. Not one early Apologetic writer made reference to the Sophia of Jesus Christ or Eugnostos the Blessed. The Sophia of Jesus Christ is...

We live in very interesting times where we are able to sit back and watch while so many scientific facts which were mentioned in the Quran (over 1400 years ago) are finally coming into the light. Another interesting realm where the Quran manages to provide insight are the prophecies and...

There are several threads currently active on the subject of Jesus existence. Here is a summation of the major points, many others have been raised but these seem to be the ones that recur. (HJ = Historical Jesus MJ = Mythical Jesus) Pro HJ: Deny Jesus, deny history. The same methods...

As I mentioned in another thread, some time ago I attended a Christian play. A former coworker of my mother's had a minor role in the play, and was giving out tickets, so my mom and I decided to check it out. I was expecting a gospel music production or an interpretive dance routine. After...

When, many years ago, I started arguing with a creationist, in a duel of letters in our local newspaper, he asserted that the empty tomb was an irrefutable argument against which non-believers had only lame rebuttals. Using Matthew's resurrection account, he said that the people of the day could...

Has it been determined yet if Jesus actually existed? What is the historical evidence? Who cares if he was the son of god? Was he ever even really here?

Assuming he even existed, why wouldn't he write some stuff down? I'm reading a great book on the Apocropha, "Lost Christianities: The Battles for Scripture and the Faiths We Never Knew" by Bart D. Ehrman. In it, he mentions the obvious fact that all the gospels, canonical or not, were written...

I post this here because it seems remarkably akin to the thinking displaying in the Shroud of Turin thread. Belief becomes fact regardless of reason. Sorry that I can't find a link, even when I search the news station's website, but I couldn't pass up posting this. I'm watching the evening...

Hi I heard an argument from a ex-catholic atheist who proposed that there is no physical evidence of Jesus's existance dated from around the time he was supposed to have been alive. I was wondering if this is infact the case?

Interesting, isn't it? At the very least, A Faded Piece of Papyrus Refers to Jesus' Wife

I want to write to a divorced woman on my Facebook list and say, "Jesus is wrong about you. Matthew 5:32." Clearly, I should not and will not do any such thing. It just bothers me how people can be religious, yet ignore the bits of their religion that don't do them justice. She doesn't deserve...

yeah i know, not all Christians believe that, i choosed the title because of another topic on another religion, where some people fail to see that also in Islam there are different interpretations and beliefs. But seriously, i sometimes see that some Christians belief that Jesus was YHWH...

On DOC's thread about natural disasters being God's way of punishing the wicked, we got into a discussion of the two conflicting genealogies of Jesus. Since this threatened to derail that thread, the moderators suggested, if we really wanted to discuss the issue, someone start a new thread on...
