Religions verse Historial Truth

[Guest guest]

I have a book called "The archaeology of the Bible".

 

It shows what is archaeologically known about all the stories in the whole

bible, including the part about Jesus. It's not much.

 

Secondly, Jesus is only mentioned once, in brief, in the Roman histories

written in his day.

 

His real disciples, the 12, didn't do much in terms of expanding any church.

This is because they stayed within the Jewish circle, which they knew was

Christ's intent. It was Paul, who never met Jesus, who spread what we call

the Christian faith. The other one, called "The original christian church"

was very small and died off fast.

 

It was after hundreds of years of Paul's message circulating in the Roman

provinces, that Rome had to submit, and after that, Paul's creation spread

everywhere.

 

What we actually know for sure about the person and life of Christ is very

little. We actually, you could say, don't know anything for sure. It's all

a myth, just like with Krishna.

 

The only reason we know anything about Julius Caesar's actual thoughts and

so forth, is that he wrote them down. He lived just before Christ. If

Christ wrote things, and if they were preserved, that would help. But it

didn't happen.

 

Take Vercingetorix, another contemporary of that era, the military leader of

the Celts against Rome...he wrote nothing down, so we know nothing about

him. Nobody argues with this. There are a few quotes from him, but we get

those from Roman Histories. Unless things are written and preserved, the

rest is heresay.

 

If you are scientific, and equipoised about his matter, you will conclude

that Jesus, as he is known amongst the people's of the world, is a myth,

much like Merlin and Arthur, who lived in roughly 400 AD supposedly.

Because there is no written record, it's all myth.

 

So if you say "Jesus personified the divine" or ANYTHING along those lines,

you are giving YOUR TAKE on A MYTH and nothing more. Nothing more.

 

The thing called Christianity, like the thing called Hinduism, is largely a

culturally created and spread myth.

 

Both of them speak of "God", and nobody has ever met this person.

 

Obviously there is a great truth, and obviously life can be lived more or

less in union with the truths that surround us.

 

Pretty much, end of story.

 

Christianity is a myth and we cannot be sure about anything "Christ said"

because the papers such things are written on cannot be said to be authentic

in any way, and Paul's creation, cannot said to be that of Christ.

Basically, it's all a misleading myth. Sorry.

 

That's my learned opinion.

 

And if someone yells at me, they'll be talking to a brick wall.

 

Life is splendid and beautiful, and I love myths. I like watching the Moses

mythg, the Jesus myth, the Pandavas myth, the Ram myth, the Krishna mythg,

and I love Stargate SG1, the modern TV myth series, and in my head I too am

a myth, a great guy with great abilities..that too is a myth.

 

"May the Peace of Christ be with you always,

and may you be in heaven a half hour, before the devils knows your dead"
