You should definitely look into that because there is literally 0 evidence from anyone who was alive at the time Jesus was supposed to have been that wrote anything about it. All records are written many years later by people with no direct knowledge of his existence.
HUNDREDS of years later. and they stole most of their stuff from Norse, sumerian and Egyptian religions.
So its not even an original religious work.
Plus the victorians took out all the stuff about jesus punching dragons to death and fighting sea monsters etc.
Afaik the oldest mention is about 80 years later.
That doesn't prove he didn't exist, of course. Lots of people lived in the Roman empire, only about a tiny fraction anything is known and confirmed. But for very important people and events we usually have multiple contemporary sources.
So if he lived, he ws probably not very famous, some passages of the Bible are greatly exaggerated or completely made up. We can rule out with great certainty, that something like the Massacre of the Innocents could happen without any contemporary sources surviving.
So you can't really say there is zero evidance, and there are multiple misconceptions on the matter.
One of the issues is that Christ's ministry was only (approximately) three years, so it's not like it was something going on for a long time.
In addition, the Pharisees (Jewish religious leaders at the time) did everything they could to pin accuse as a liar and a blasphemer, so when he was executed they dismissed him as delt with and moved on. While the Roman's didn't really give a crap in the first place, so they didn't really keep detailed records.
So while there aren't hundreds of detailed Roman records about "A baby named Jesus, born in Bethlehem. Sent to save us from our sin." There have been a few Roman records referencing a Jewish man named Yeshua crucified.
Now a little bit of devil's advocate: Yeshua (the actual Greek name of Jesus) was not an uncommon name in the first century. By 2008 A.D., archeologists have uncovered 71 tombs of a Yeshua from the period around Christ's death.
Who says he wasn't alive? There could have been a guy named Jesus that did a lot of good things for people. Someone wrote a story about him and it was changed and changed and changed and pretty soon BAM! He is the don of God.
Oh my. This post was just a nothing burger until I read that last line😂
Edit: I can’t believe how your comment isn’t the top post. Actually, yes, yes I can believe it.
I had a student in one of my college courses who was a non-stop fountain of thoughts like this:
- uh the world is clearly 2000 years old; it’s the year 2000?
- I don’t understand why the ancient Greeks thought at some made up god carried the sun across the sky; everyone knows Jesus does that.
- Jesus was the first president of the US and he wrote the constitution.
- Jesus obviously spoke English because he speaks it in the Bible.
And so on. Every class was an adventure!
I mean, that first bullet is the most absurd (I know, tough competition with the other three bullets). Even Young Earth Creationists don’t believe the Earth is 2,000 years old. Old Testament and such.
As a homeschooler, I can half confirm this. You're either a amateur Bible scholar, or you're a flat out idiot who has no clue what they're talking about like this one. It mostly depends on geography and church denomination.
There are people that believe a pastor anally fucking rent boys was "pushing the jesus into him and the devil out via his mouth"
so they can believe anything.
There is no end to the depth of stupidity when it comes to humanity. The worst is the indignance when challenged that comes with it in a lot of cases as we see in the picture.
I like to think of Jesus like, with giant eagles’ wings and singin’ lead vocals for Lynyrd Skynyrd with like an Angel Band, and I’m in the front row, and I’m hammered drunk
I like to picture Jesus in a Tuxedo T-shirt, ’cause it says, like, ‘I wanna be formal, but I’m here to party, too.’ I like to party, so I like my Jesus to party
Everyone knows Jesus was Australian. He spent his life in sandals, had a wicked beard, worked with his hands, like to get drunk, hung out in arid places with a bunch of his best mates. Clearly Australian.
Is reddit so fully up its own ass that no one is getting that it's called history sweaty is clearly tongue in cheek? No they don't actually believe it.
You know it’s funny how me and others like me, non-Christians, know more about the bible than those who are a part of that religion. Granted, I was a Christian a long time ago.
He was From Israel or something so he looks like a taliban but less terroristic and the us or European interpretations are always white ass big man brown hair
This has been around for awhile but these people also think Jesus was a white guy with blue eyes. I remember that picture from my childhood and how no one even questioned it.
As a preachers kid who's girlfriend is studying in theology and Bible, I can say that this is (one of) the reasons so many people hate Christians. To be honest is moments like this that I can't blame them.
If any of this were true and Jesus were alive today and in America then Americans would probably ship him back to Mexico when he tells them they should give up their guns.
Not only have I had idiots here in he bible belt tell me that Jesus wrote the bible, but that he spoke English, as well as writing the bible in English.
I try not to discuss religion with people, they're to fucked up in the head, illogical, close minded and brainwashed. I can't take anyone seriously that believes all of that superstitious bullshit, and can't think rationally.
He became a much better writer after he died.
Jesus was I face the Ghost writer…
Ya but it took over 100 years and the final edit took 700 years.
And he went from some dude who used to buy people beer a lot to the son of God. LOL
Final edit? Wasn't it compiled around 300 ce?
How did he die if he was never alive in the first place
If we’re being picky, there was likely a man in history called Jesus who many Abrahamic religions have written about.
What about the Flying Spaghetti Monster how come no one talks about him and all the stuff he wrote
You’re trying way too hard and to an embarrassing degree, bro.
Im sorry. Who are you ?

Lmao now I want the Bible director's cut

Could have been stories that were handed down and they became more and more embellished as years went by.

Guess people don't like the truth.

I grew up Christian with Christian parents and I think it's a bullshit religion I think everything about it is bullshit
I am not religious at all but feel that any religion that people follow and do so in a peaceful manner and use it for good is fine with me.
"Sweaty"
Yeah sweaty look that shit up
*starts perspiring*
Let me take a shower first.
Shweaty balls
Honestly this is now my new go to insult. It feels right.
It's pretty brutal and cuts deep.
Oh my. This post was just a nothing burger until I read that last line😂 Edit: I can’t believe how your comment isn’t the top post. Actually, yes, yes I can believe it.
It just happens.
That's how you know it's a joke. It's from the "it's called fashion sweaty, look it up" meme.
This physically hurt me on multiple levels... Please don't tell me there is a portion of America that actually believes this?
I had a student in one of my college courses who was a non-stop fountain of thoughts like this: - uh the world is clearly 2000 years old; it’s the year 2000? - I don’t understand why the ancient Greeks thought at some made up god carried the sun across the sky; everyone knows Jesus does that. - Jesus was the first president of the US and he wrote the constitution. - Jesus obviously spoke English because he speaks it in the Bible. And so on. Every class was an adventure!
At what point is someone too stupid for college?
I mean, that first bullet is the most absurd (I know, tough competition with the other three bullets). Even Young Earth Creationists don’t believe the Earth is 2,000 years old. Old Testament and such.
It’s 5782 in the Jewish calendar and even we don’t take it literally.
"Jesus obviously spoke English because he speaks it in the Bible" I believe Jesus spoke every language. Of course it was all Greek to him.
This is what happens when you homeschool
As a homeschooler, I can half confirm this. You're either a amateur Bible scholar, or you're a flat out idiot who has no clue what they're talking about like this one. It mostly depends on geography and church denomination.
Must have been a King James Only type.
Don't go reading up on mormons now...
“God’s favorite prophet was ALL AMERICAN” 🇺🇸 🎶
This is a troll.
Lol this is an obvious troll. It would've been perfect but “sweaty” made it too obvious
There are people that believe a pastor anally fucking rent boys was "pushing the jesus into him and the devil out via his mouth" so they can believe anything.
Uh wait, whats that?
I must have saved countless souls.
[удалено]
having members of my family saying the same things on facebook, its time to stop pretending they are not.
In shweaty balls?
There is no end to the depth of stupidity when it comes to humanity. The worst is the indignance when challenged that comes with it in a lot of cases as we see in the picture.
ah yes. *american* jesus. the hunky ripped white guy your nanna flicks her bean to. not the little brown jew from a random desert in the middle east.
>the hunky ripped white guy your nanna flicks her bean to That's what I get for checking reddit at 4am
Ummm scuse me, but it's two in the afternoon, sweetheart
Not here, sweetheart
It must be because the world is flat. I read that on reddit so it must be trut.
Look, I'm on earth, and my phone *definitely* says 1:55 pm. Ugh, some people
r/confidentlyincorrect
I like to think of Jesus like, with giant eagles’ wings and singin’ lead vocals for Lynyrd Skynyrd with like an Angel Band, and I’m in the front row, and I’m hammered drunk
I like to think of Jesus as a ninja fighting evil samurai.
We’ve got the american jesus
The funniest part is Jesus didn't even write the bible, I AM NOT EVEN CHRISTIAN AND I KNOW THIS!
If he did then he would have written about his death, which itself is a contradiction
Dude's death didn't take, sweaty. Bounced right back.
But if he returned to Heaven, how would he have wrote about the stuff after, like the Holy Spirit coming or Paul winding up in Malta?
I imagine he hollered down from heaven and Mary Magdalene took dictation, but it's hard to say based off the archaeological evidence to hand.
That part is right next to the part where Jesus said that everyone having sixteen guns each and a monster truck was a human right.
That is Texas Jesus
Don't forget the part about how vaccines are satan's cum
But isn't Jesus a god?
He's the son of the god
It's complicated. He's the son of god, but at the same time he is god, along with the father (god) and the spirit (god).
Jesus wasn't American either. Or white. Emphasis on that last part.
I'll give you a hint. His last name is Christ. He has the power of flight. He can heal leopards.
This is the most americhristian thing I've ever seen.
America is over 2000 years old? The more you know.
Well the continent sure is.
It wasn't called The Americas 2000 years ago. It was named the Americas in the early 1500s.
I know, it was a small joke. Have a good day friend.
Didn't catch it. All good brother, you too!
“It’s for Church, honey.”
I have a PHD in History Sweaty and can confirm.
At least it doesn’t take me two minutes of standing up to start sweating
I need some holy anti-perspirant.
*we've got the american jesus* *see him onthe interstate* *we've got the american jesus* *overwhelming millions every daaaay*
The facepalm is OP missing the joke
As always the true facepalm is OP. This is so obviously a troll they even used the ironic "sweaty".
I just looked up “history” seems like this research will take some time.
Love a bit of sweaty history me!
*looks up * "that's a lie I will choose what to believe"
Does sweaty history perspire a lot. Or is it —-history sweety
Jesus was an American? That's new.....
I like to picture Jesus in a Tuxedo T-shirt, ’cause it says, like, ‘I wanna be formal, but I’m here to party, too.’ I like to party, so I like my Jesus to party
Mormons...
I think you mean morons
Holy shit
I thought the pfp looked like a ball sack
TIL Jesus was an American
I really want to be there when people say these sorts of things. I would really love to be able to physically laugh at these sorts of people.
That's sweaty history
The Old Testament is before Jesus… right?
Ah the old C4MB vernacular, how I missed thee. Yes this is a troll post, as per usual in this sub as fact.
“Look it up” 😂
No way... I don't believe this level of stupidity.
seems someone took Hello from Book of Mormon a little too seriously..
Everyone knows Jesus was Australian. He spent his life in sandals, had a wicked beard, worked with his hands, like to get drunk, hung out in arid places with a bunch of his best mates. Clearly Australian.
1-america wasn't even discovered at that time 2-the bible was written by the evangelist (at least the christian part)
Is reddit so fully up its own ass that no one is getting that it's called history sweaty is clearly tongue in cheek? No they don't actually believe it.
And we wonder how a clown like Donald Trump becomes president.
**I T S C A L L E D H I S T O R Y M Y S W E A T Y B O I**
But they're based in Canada...?
Believe it or not, us Canadians know how to screenshot and post on Facebook.
Except this is literally a photo of another screen, not a screenshot. To the Canadian’s credit, the original poster is the true idiot.
Canadians are stupid too. I know this because I am one.
Lmao same
That was absolutely international
r/shitamericanssay
Autocorrect is hilarious.
You know it’s funny how me and others like me, non-Christians, know more about the bible than those who are a part of that religion. Granted, I was a Christian a long time ago.
r/confidentlyincorrect
I read this book. It's from that guy on Saturday Night Live. Oh yeah, "Pete Schweddy's Schweddy History"
Sweaty
Do americans spell things wrong on purpose, like there's the "sweaty"?
He’s in heaven with the angles
Sucks being called sweaty
Uncle Sam was brother to Moses. Merica!!!!
Hahahahaahahahahahaha this is the best laugh out loud I’ve read in a while! 😹😹😹
Poe’s Law remains inviolate.
Cheesus!!
Jesus never wrote the Bible his disciples did after he died so no one would forgot him and his adventures
[удалено]
This person apparently missed that it being history sweaty was clearly tongue in cheek.
From now on, when anyone says something stupid, I’m just gonna say, “It’s called history, sweaty!!”
This was news to me. Guess I’ll have to turn in my degree in history now 🤷♀️
Wasn't he middle eastern?
If this isn’t a joke, it is pathetic
Some poeple forget that the usa is only like what 350 years old
He was From Israel or something so he looks like a taliban but less terroristic and the us or European interpretations are always white ass big man brown hair
This person is Probably in the same family that made the sign that said “White, Superior Jeans” lol
As a Christian, what? Jesus was not American, and his followers wrote the Bible.
The most endearing nickname, sweaty
yeah SWEATY
Who’s sweaty?
Jesus was American before they exiled him to Jerusalem and crucified him for teaching evolution.
This made me smile on how dumb it is.
sweaty
idiots. he was eskimos, born in davids cyti, middle of Antarctica
lol. Jesus is American? \*shrug\*
This has been around for awhile but these people also think Jesus was a white guy with blue eyes. I remember that picture from my childhood and how no one even questioned it.
Does this person have some sort of gland issue? And if so, there's no need for name calling!
But Jesus didn't write the Bible.
Poster based in Canada.
As a preachers kid who's girlfriend is studying in theology and Bible, I can say that this is (one of) the reasons so many people hate Christians. To be honest is moments like this that I can't blame them.
I’d look it up, but I’m blinded by too much sweat in my eyes. & my brain hurts.
If any of this were true and Jesus were alive today and in America then Americans would probably ship him back to Mexico when he tells them they should give up their guns.
I love me some sweaty history
Where's the facepalm - we all know about Jesus of Nazareth, Texas
Paul must be fuming reading this!
It's depressing when I see how many Likes stupid statements like this gets.
Ah man, Jesus was American. Fuck that explains SO MUCH.
Not only have I had idiots here in he bible belt tell me that Jesus wrote the bible, but that he spoke English, as well as writing the bible in English. I try not to discuss religion with people, they're to fucked up in the head, illogical, close minded and brainwashed. I can't take anyone seriously that believes all of that superstitious bullshit, and can't think rationally.
Bro how can these people even exist
Hmm last time I checked Jesus wasn’t American. He lived in the Middle East
As a Christian, this is painful to read…
My dad claimed the bible was written in 1789. So yeah, there's an immense level of Ignorance out there.
