  to clarify, the myth states that Jesus was three persons meshed into one. Enoch, Yeshua and this brother James. They were both crucified. This can be read in some masonic books.
  
  The point is the words,they were all said, the deeds all done but by three people across a period of three lifetimes not one.
  
  The three embodied a certain teaching. So, really no big deal. the point is the life lessons were taught.

  yeah, he made everything silly! Best phrase I have ever heard!
  
  Not only is it entirely wrong, but the way it is worded makes it sound like he took serious stuff and made it funny.
  
  The point being, if you believe in religion, or have even read the Bible or been to one Sunday School class, GOD made everything. Not Jesus.
  
  And your argument is circular logic. Show me one historical account of his existence and I will bow down your obviously humble genius.

  Which atheists admit it? There is almost no evidence and certainly the history channel is no reference to make.

  I realise that you need to defend this point - but please - do it with some facts instead of accusing me of not using facts or logic.

  Hi Pisean, there are many reasons why people don't want Christ to a real historical person. Reasonings and arguments that agree with our own held beliefs are very attractive to us. The thing is, we don't want to delude ourselves, because we may miss something very big. He either was, or he wasn't a historical figure. I must warn, that many that I have discussed with, the finer details I mean, they often resort to unpleasantness and irrational thinking that lacks logic. Its hard to discuss things with people like that, because they seem to have something emotionally invested, and tend to get upset.
  
  As for historical figures, you do bring up an excellent point. How is it possible that a person that was just a myth, not only changed so many countless lives, but continues to do? The obvious answer would be because he actually was just who he said and that that power and truth and light are still at work today, and it cannot be quenched. If its true, then its the best answer and remedy to every one that would believe, not for just this life, but for the next one, which is eternal. Its not just good news for all, its an explanation for literally, all we see and cannot control going on in the world around us.

  i would like to disagree with you a bit..I believe christ was historical figure but not how you see him..by seeing so many religions , their claims , their believes what i have perceived that what we call as mircale and such things have worked for many..but for hindus , it has worked by worshipping krishna or sai or hanumaan , for muslims it has worked by worshipping allah and for chistians , christ..
  
  since it has worked for all and various people irrespective to religion , what actually works is faith ..even if christ was say mere human..faith on christ would work ..

  I am not an atheist but I agree that there is now proof of Jesus existence. I am not saying he did not exist, there were not exactly censuses or birth certificates back then. I have studied spirituality and religions for many years and I have come to the conclusion that it does not matter if he was born of the physical world or a creation of the mind he is real.
  
  Too many people believe in him and are influenced by him for him not to be real in a totally objective way. Plus his message is good when it is followed from his teachings and not twisted by some church or preacher with a selfish agenda. Love and forgiveness and right living are good principles to live by and that is the gist of his teachings.

  Pisean, there is document proof, outside of religion. Many Roman/Greek satirists and statesmen wrote about him and the event.
  As for archeological, I am not certain.
  
  And based on that "myth or theory", I find it hugely fascinating that many anti-believers battle repetitively, violently verbal against believers who violently and repetitively battle back.
  
  all this because of a simple gift given to humans to restore them to perfection. ( my brain had an image of people fighting over the bouquet at a wedding, heels digging into each other, hair pulling, muddy faces, torn dresses. The poor bouquet didn't stand a chance )

  You preach your religion of non belief just as the fanatic pushes Jesus. What does it hurt you to let others believe? Besides you have no proof you are right just like they have no proof they are right. There is no way to know for certain.
  
  You have faith in science maybe? But you can not know everything that is in the universes. No human does. Science believes their may be up to 11 dimensions and we can only perceive four of them (3 dimensions of space + time.) So if science is right there could be other intelligent beings that perceive our 4 dimensions plus 7 more.
  
  Maybe they influence our world and we just can not see them. Maybe a few prophets have been touched by them? There is no way you can know the answers to these questions. You are arguing your belief against others beliefs and it is an impossible argument.

  Hi friend pisean282311
  
  We Muslim don't consider that Word of God's could be translated accurately; so we don't consider any translation an alternative of the original text; so we always try to give the text of the Arabic while translating Quran. The translation is considered to be commentary of the original; not an alternative of the original which is always there.
  
  It is for this that though there are many denomination of the Muslims, yet the text in Arabic is the same with every one of them.
  
  Thanks

  Muhammad verbally gave his teachings to his followers and they wrote down his teachings after his death. The fact that the Quran is in its original form keeps it from being corrupted through translations.
  The Christian bible we read in English was translated from Hebrew to Greek to German to English. I know a lot was lost in translation. Do you know that the bible does not say Jesus was a carpenter? It says he was a laborer, carpenter was a mistranslation. If this common belief is wrong how many more mistakes do you think exist?
  Also remember that Christianity, Judaism, and Islam are all part of the same religion and worship the same God. Only their approach is different. But they all worship the God of Abraham who is believed by all three to be the one true God.

why people can't get it:

the atheists or adjacent groups either claim he didn't exist or existed but wasn't what he and others claimed. Yet, for half their self stated nothing after this existence, profusely argue that point.

The believers believe He existed but don't get why he really existed and why he did all the things he did. Like saving them. From what? Sin. What sin? All sin. But still think they are sinners. And thinking they are sinners feel compelled to save other sinners who they call non believers. But how can a sinner save another if they themselves are still sinners? Then there's the whole brick-a-brack about Him saving them when the self proclaimed saved sinners bring these non-believers to him to be saved. But, he isn't here. And it just keeps going. Add to that some pseudo cereal spiritual voodoo woodoo, woo hoo lala and presto, instant access to the mysteries of heaven and balancing on the palm of Shiva.

The strongest point in favor of Christ myth theory is that "Jesus the God" never existed outside Bible!! Only three to four historical accounts talks about a Christos or Brother of James, who had been crucified.

Not necessarily this Christos or Brother of James is the same God Jesus we are talking about. This Christos is obviously not a significant person, hardly had some followers & the accounts doesn't talk about any of his miracles or anything about the term "Son of God".

Even if you take this Christos for granted as the real Jesus then you must realize that this guy hardly had as many as 500 followers maximum. World population at that time was around 3 Billion. Should A God/ Son of God/ Incarnate of God/ Messiah be so insignificant that he could only manage 500 followers among 3 Billion?? Could he be so insignificant that he came, he sacrificed & he left but 99.999% of the world population had no idea about him or his visit??? If it is ok for God to be so insignificant then I bet such Gods frequently comes & goes without any notification to mankind!

Thus if you are talking about the Christian Son of God, or The God Jesus, then obviously he never existed!

  the historical/mythical figure didn't do anything to you. some of his followers perhaps did. Did they judge you for falling in love with your married friend? Did they make you say the rosary after looking at snuff?
  
  whatever it is that makes you hate the symbol of their power over you, it won't do you any good to use a symbol as a punching bag. Why not just recognize that they don't have any power over you other than than what you allow them to. So you don't have to debase your self this way. Debasing others just pulls you down even lower.

  Stuff like you guys are posting here, are further proofs to many, that Jesus is indeed a historical figure, and alive and well. Nobody does this kind of stuff, to just a nice guy that promoted goodness and peace and forgiveness for your sins, that may be fictional in the past. Its indicative of much more going on, and how Jesus generates the same hatred today as he did then. Funny, he predicted it too. For a "fake" dude, he did pretty well foretelling of things. If he is real, he can't help but be promoted in rather odd ways like this through the people that so much want him to not be real. I find that rather ironic.

  Nonsense. Jesus never existed. But - people like you spouting nonsense and hatred is what perpetuates the myth. Jesus generates nothing. It is you. You. No one else. You. Be a man - stand up and admit you are speaking for yourself. You are the one generating the hatred.
  
  Proud of yourself?
  
  I will paraphrase the bible:
  
  1. Go around behaving like an arrogant, condescending so and so, claiming to be speaking for an invisible dead guy and telling everyone what they should be doing. Then don't do what you tell them they should be doing.
  2. People hate it when you do that.

I'm an atheist and I tend to lean toward the belief that there was a man at the core of the myths. I believe there is somewhat of a consensus among historians that there was a historical person, possibly an itinerant apocalyptic preacher from Galilee, that the legends were built around after his death.

Believing in the Christ-myth theory is not necessary for me in my rejection of Christianity. I believe there is good evidence that Muhammad existed, however, I don't believe that he performed the miracle of splitting the moon in two as is claimed in the Qur'an. I don't think there is anyone here who would dispute the existence of Joseph Smith, but just because we accept that he existed doesn't mean that we also have to believe in the golden plates.

Bottom line: there is the Jesus of history, and then there is the Jesus of legend.

  splitting the moon in two is a metaphor for penetrating the mystery. that is why the symbol of islam is a moon and a star that is reminiscent of Ishtar, the Assyrian Venus.

  The historical Muhammad & Jesus is completely different than the mythical Muhammad & Jesus. The fundamentalists will never agree that they were normal human & were unable to perform miracles. The historical account dont talk about the mythical or spiritual Jesus & Muhammad. The two accounts defines completely different personalities. Thus in a sense we can deny the existence of Jesus & Muhammad or at least the existence of the mythical Jesus & Muhammad.

  Hi friend Rishy Rich
  
  Neither Muhammad claimed of his being more than a human being nor a Muslim could believe that Muhammad was more than a human being:
  
  [17:90] And surely, We have set forth for mankind in various ways all kinds of similitudes in this Qur’an, but most men would reject everything but disbelief.
  [17:91] And they say, ‘We will never believe thee until thou cause a spring to gush forth for us from the earth;
  [17:92] ‘Or thou have a garden of datepalms and vines, and cause streams to gush forth in the midst thereof in abundance;
  [17:93] ‘Or thou cause the heaven to fall upon us in pieces, as thou hast claimed, or thou bring Allah and the angels before us face to face;
  
  [17:94] ‘Or thou have a house of gold or thou ascend up into heaven; and we will not believe in thy ascension until thou send down to us a book that we can read.’ Say, ‘Holy is my Lord! I am not but a man sent as a Messenger.’
  
  [17:95] And nothing has prevented men from believing when the guidance came to them save that they said, ‘Has Allah sent a man as a Messenger?’
  [17:96] Say, ‘Had there been in the earth angels walking about in peace and quiet, We should have certainly sent down to them from heaven an angel as a Messenger.’
  [17:97] Say, ‘Sufficient is Allah for a Witness between me and you; surely, He knows and sees His servants full well.’
  [17:98] And he whom Allah guides, is the only one rightly guided; but as for those whom He allows to perish, thou wilt find for them no helpers beside Him. And on the Day of Resurrection We shall gather them togther on their faces, blind, dumb and deaf. Their abode will be Hell; every time it abates, We shall increase for them the flame.
  [17:99] That is their recompense, because they rejected Our Signs and said, ‘What! when we are reduced to bones and broken particles, shall we really be raised up as a new creation?’
  
  http://www.alislam.org/quran/search2/sh … p;verse=89
  
  Please see verse [17:94] with the verses in the context. Muhammad never claimed any divinity; there is no myth attacked with him.
  
  Yes,Jesus is a myth created by Paul; undoubtedly
  
  I sincerely express my faith; others could freely stick to what they believe with solid reason.

  Christ, is why Christianity exists at all. No Christ No Christianity.
  My goal was to get you to be fair, to judge Christianity fairly, by judging what Christ said and did. When you don't, you are judging a whole possible gamut of people, from Mother Teresa types, to Hitler...which isn't fair, because most will judge the heretical types.
  
  My point is, if you want to judge christianity, judge its roots, Jesus. Otherwise, you will be addressing many people, that are sinners, but Jesus already did that long ago. He knew how sinful humanity would be. He knew there would be types like Peter, types like the Woman caught in adultery, and types like the Pharisees that claim a certain thing.
  
  Those that are against Christianity, often are choosing to use the heretics of Christianity , which would be like cheating for your own gain, in a game. They don't define it, Jesus defines Christianity. I agree with you, in that those that did horrible things, are doing horrible things. They don't speak for Jesus and Christianity though. They are doing evil things, not good things. Just asking for fairness, and letting everyone see what was going on.
  You and I and Jesus, so far agree on what kinds of actions are bad though, in a lot of ways. I find that part ineresting. I don't support segregation, or killing, or hatred, etc. You seem to not like it for the most part, except what I see here sometimes that is clearly hateful toward a whole group.

to oceannsunsets i love you i mean of course that i love everything you had to say. for everyone else i'm going to pray real hard for all nonbelievers and believers especially those of you who keep fighting. one of you made the point that it's not religion causing the "evil" but it's the people. i strongly agree with that. i am not here to fight but i will lay out my beliefs on this subject. Jesus exists because of faith but if you really need proof there is the Bible and yes there is archeological proof that goes along with the Bible. like for instance they have found what is believed to be Jesus' tomb and i saw a documentary from my library. it showed they have found abone fragments linked to Jesus. it was a foot with a piece of olive wood on it still in tact after at least 1500 years. there is more proof out there anyway that God and Jesus both exist. miracles happened in the Bible and miracles happen everyday. being alive is a miracle in itself. another thing if you fight about any religion you are really in turn fighting about Jesus. you also are fighting with those groups of that religion. i for one believe He existed and still does. just cause you dont see Him doesn't mean that He doesn't exist-that's what faith is. Believe and you will see! for those of you who use quotes in the Bible dont tell what they mean because everyone has a different interpretation of every verse in the Bible. if you are going to tell meanings of verses say that it means that to you. that's something people need to be careful of. after all you are giving your opinion not facts. and i agree some things posted here should not be shared on any website but especially one like this. but we dont control that. a question for all of you though those who are talking about this for attention are being supported. WHY? a question to thirdmillenium-if nothing and noone exists what do you call life? the word exist means to me that it has life either present past or future. and even things exist because people see, touch and use them usually daily. i am not criticizing anyone but i sure do see more nonbelievers on these forums. i don't see how even after you see or hear about the evidence or proof that you still don't believe. and this goes for everyone how can you believe in one thing and not something that goes along with it? i mean it's all tied together. if you believe in God then why don't you believe in His son, His word, His truths that He Himself wrote. Well He used people to write the Bible but you know He wrote the ten commandments. share thoughts and beliefs but dont fight. you are doing exactly what you're saying everyone else is doing. by the way do unto others is another thing that can be interpreted differently so be careful when you use that. if you can't back up something dont say it because it's going to cause conflict. these days everyone wants proof for anything said. and read between the lines. its something you have to do if you are looking for a source. sometimes its not in big bold print but it is mentioned. to sum it all up i think it's safe to say most hubbers need to read some of the hubs ive written. they might explain some things mentioned here. and obviously i need to hurry with writing my books so people can read them. i'm gonna try hardeer to finish them. now i know that they really are needed. but to everyone belif and faith are your decisions. but i just dont get it. oh EVERY KNEE WILL BOW EVERY TONGUE WILL CONFESS THAT JESUS CHRIST IS LORD. YES THIS DOES GO FOR EVERYONE-ALL HUMANKIND. ITS NOT A THREAT ITS gOD'S WORD OF WHAT WILL HAPPEN WHEN jESUS COMES AGAIN AND IF THIS IS ANNOYING THEN THE BIBLE IS ANNOYING THEREFORE GOD IS ANNOYING TO YOU AND THAT TO ME MEANS YOU NEED SPIRITUAL GUIDANCE.

Jesus, the actual man, didn't have a last name, as Christianity claims. This is historical fact.

Christ, was created for Christianity(Religion).

The OT has a false god, and the NT is derived from Paul. Both useless, because both are man made. Jesus knew the god of OT was false and told his followers. The NT was nothing to do with Jesus, but put Christ at the center, dismissing the OT's god and reassigning the "god" value to Jesus.

  We dont have enough solid historical accounts of Jesus outside bible. Out of available four reliable sources: One called him Christ (Pliny the Younger), one called him Christus (Tacitus) & the third one mentioned him as Chrestus (Suetonius). Only Josephus Flavius mentioned him as Jesus. You see historically the possibility of the existence of Christ is more evident than Jesus. However, not necessarily this Christus is the same Jesus of Christianity, as these historical accounts mention a very insignificant Christos.

  If you care to look closely at the works of Josephus you will find the passages mentioning Jesus were inserted by zealous believers many years later. The earliest examples of the writings of Josephus do not mention Jesus at all.
  
  There has been a concerted effort by religious organizations to rewrite many of the historical documents to include Jesus because of the embarrassing lack of mention about him.
  
  The earthquake, darkness, and walking corpses mentioned in the NT are not referenced at all by the contemporary historians of the time. I find it unimaginable that Pliny, Josephus, and others would not have mentioned these highly unusual events if they had ever occurred.
  
  Even the different authors of the books in the NT describing the Crucifixion seem to have differing viewpoints. I really wish there were some dependable evidence to be read about the man himself. But there isn't at this time!

Bible.

You must kill those who worship another god. Exodus 22:20

Kill any friends or family that worship a god that is different than your own. Deuteronomy 13:6-10

Kill all the inhabitants of any city where you find people that worship differently than you. Deuteronomy 13:12-16

Kill everyone who has religious views that are different than your own. Deuteronomy 17:2-7

Kill anyone who refuses to listen to a priest. Deuteronomy 17:12-13

Kill any false prophets. Deuteronomy 18:20

Both are off-the-wall madness.
