    To those wondering about the reference to Hinduism and its incorporation of Jesus, this claim is based on several contemporary movements in Hinduism, like the group assoicated with Sri Ramakrishna (d. 1886) who have indeed argued for Jesus as an Avatar.

    I know that this has been already said a thousand times but it keeps being true: "Atheistic dogma" is a contraction in itself, I think. If I invented and truly believed in a figure, let's say my imaginary friend Charlie, it would be strange to call others acharlieists and accuse them of spreading acharlieist dogma, whenever they say "come on, there is no Charlie". Acharlyism is the default state. If Charlie exists, I must prove it. "Atheism" is a poisoned word, it tries to manipulate the mind by introducing backdoor that there is a god or gods.

    @@joshua2400 The bible has been completely debunked by science, archaeology and biblical scholarship, but you can actually *PROVE* the bible is false yourself. The anonymous, biased fanatics who wrote the gospel fairy tales claimed that Jesus promised: "If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer" (Matt. 21:22), “Whatever you ask of the Father in my name, he will give it to you" (John 16:23), "whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours" (Mark 11:24). So turn on your video camera and pray for Jesus to appear to you RIGHT NOW, and post the result to KZread! Jesus will never appear because the authors of the gospel tales were proven liars. Praying to Jesus is no different than praying to Zeus, Odin, a Flying Spaghetti Monster, or to any other fictional character in a book. All Christians can do is make pathetic excuses for why this NEVER works, despite the bible’s promises. *FACTS* 1) If Jesus was real, and a god, he COULD appear to you, or to anyone. 2) He supposedly appeared to others in ancient stories that we have no evidence for (Acts 1:3). 3) Jesus supposedly promised that believers would “receive whatever you ask for in prayer” (Matt 21:22). 4) Regardless how much you pray or ask...Jesus won't appear. The most likely explanation for the above? Jesus won’t appear because he CAN’T. Fictional literary characters can't hear prayers or do anything in real life. The fact that so many Christians have to film videos and post comments defending their debunked book of ancient mythology is proof that the bible is false, and that the magic prayer superpowers promised by the liars who wrote the gospel tales don’t work. “Do not put my ridiculous claims to the test” said the liar to the fool.

    @Aaron of Ruth Don’t murder any babies ‘on faith’ today just because some member of a death cult claims that God said so. "This is what the Lord Almighty says...put to death men and women, children and infants." (1 Samuel 15:2-3). So you’d murder your neighbor’s entire family, including his infant, if some man claimed that Jesus appeared to him and said you should? If it says so in a book with a talking snake, talking donkey, 900-year-old men, virgin birth and zombies, written by anonymous, biased members of a death cult who thought the world was flat and illness was caused by demons, then it MUST be a reliable source of real history, right?!! *SUCKER* - “a person who believes everything they are told and is therefore easy to deceive” - Cambridge Dictionary

    This channel is just amazing. Believer and non-believer people comment, and ALL in a respectful and open-minded way, which is SO rare when talking religion. I guess I am personnally still questioning the existence or not of a God and have no clear answer yet, but one reason why I stopped going to church a long time ago was (1 thing of many) the fact that I always felt that churches were teaching what was convenient for them, and were hiding/ ignoring many historical facts, or ancient writings...and so on and so forth. This channel has been eye opening. Always well narrated, and extremely well-documented, and does not lean one way or the other: just gives facts.

    The sixth century monk Dionysius Exiguus developed a calendar system for numbering the years based on the birth of Jesus thus the years are in Anno Domini (in the year of the Lord, A.D.). However, he counted backward wrong and his count of the years backward to the birth of Jesus was off several years. (Jesus was born between 7-8 BC and 4-5 BC, Before Christ). This year numbering system became standard around AD 800.

    The psychadelic mushroom theory is interesting because Jesus is known for preaching love, and people who take psychadelic drugs report having a feeling of love for everybody. Also, herbs/drugs/vegetation also points to the cross, which is a symbolic tree, as well as Jesus' body being bread and his blood being wine/grapes. Other so-called "dying-rising gods" are also associated with vegetation/herbs/drugs, such as the Ugaritic god Baal Hadad being resurrected as fruit; the Sumerian god Dumuzi and the cedar tree; the Egyptian god Osiris and the acacia tree, barley, and wheat; the Phoenician god Adonis and the anemone flower and red poppies (which in turn associate him with opium); the Phrygian god Attis and almonds and pomegranates; the Hittie god Telipinu and the oak tree; the Norse god Balder and the oak tree and mistletoe; the Greek god Dionysus and wine/grapes, pomegranates, and the pine tree; the Greek god Hyacinthus and the Hyacinth flower; the Roman mythology hero Pyramus and the mulberry tree; the Irish god Miach and "365 herbs". There is also the Slavic god Jarilo (although I'm not sure if he is associated with any particular herb or plant).

If Mary had to travel for the census, where are the records of that census? Lost? Where is the record of his birth? Also lost? If he was crucified by Pontius Pilate, there should be records of that, since there are surviving records from the same time of other crucifixions. .

They thought dreams were spirits or gods trying to talk to them in their sleep and the reason they were confusing was because gods were so advanced that only a few humans could understand what they were saying. They thought the same about hallucinogens and schizophrenia. The book of Revelations came from the Magi, the same tribe of people who would instigate the Jesus story a thousand years later.

    One is that there's new evidence that points to the Gospel of Luke being written in the 60s AD by discoveries of it dating from that time in Spain and Mark and Matthew being at the same time or likely earlier. And the earliest epistle of Paul is dated to the mid 40s AD, so more like 10 years after Jesus' death than 20.

    Christianity began as sun worship, the stories about Jesus are symbolic. He is just a personification of the sun, made into a god figure later on. The sun "dies" for 3 days on December 22nd, the winter solstice, when it stops its movement south, to be born again or resurrected on December 25th, when it resumes its movement north. In some areas, the calendar originally began in the constellation of Virgo, and the sun would therefore be "born of a Virgin" The sun rising in the morning is "the saviour of mankind" The sun is "The light of the World" The sun "walks on water" is just the reflection of the sun on water/the sea. "He cometh on clouds, and every eye shall see him", is just sun rays. Jesus' "crown of thorns" is just the sun's glare, also know as a halo. The sun's "followers", "helpers" or "disciples" are the 12 months and the 12 signs of the zodiac or constellations, through which the sun must pass. The sun at 12 noon is in the house or temple of the "Most High": thus.."he" begins "his Father's work" at "age" 12. The sun enters into each sign of the zodiac at 30 degrees, hense, the "Sun of God" begins his ministry at "age" 30. The sun is hung on a cross or "crucified", which represents its passing through the equinoxes. The vernal equinox being Easter, at which time it is then resurrected. The reason why saviour myths are so similar with a godman who is crucified and resurrected, who does miracles and has 12 disciples, is that these stories were based on the movements of the sun through the heavens, an astrotheological development that can be found throughout the planet, because the sun and the 12 zodiac signs can be observed around the globe. In other words, Jesus Christ and all the others upon whom this character is predicated are personifications of the sun, and the Gospel fable is merely a rehash of a mythological formula revolving around the movements of the sun through the heavens. Jesus is a fictional allegory for the sun. Christianity is ancient astrology. It's just fables about the sun. Check out Acharya S aka D.M Murdock for more info. ..

The reason why saviour myths are so similar with a godman who is crucified and resurrected, who does miracles and has 12 disciples, is that these stories were based on the movements of the sun through the heavens, an astrotheological development that can be found throughout the planet, because the sun and the 12 zodiac signs can be observed around the globe. In other words, Jesus Christ and all the others upon whom this character is predicated are personifications of the sun, and the Gospel fable is merely a rehash of a mythological formula revolving around the movements of the sun through the heavens. Jesus is a fictional allegory for the sun. Christianity is ancient astrology. It's just fables about the sun. Check out Acharya S aka D.M Murdock for more info. . . . .. ....

    Yep its nonsense. Its possible that Jesus did exist and had a following, but all the miracles are mythical stories, there’s absolutely no evidence that any of the things claimed about him are possible, 2000 years after he was born.

    One big problem with the josephus testimony if one part was alter who's to say the whole thing was not altered. It's a easy thing to replace one man's name with another or to imply one man is related to another. Tempered with evidence will always be suspect.

    the sooner you get that jesus was a devil in disguise and the sooner you reach enghlitement. jesus just want you to for you are born for one reason ! accept jesus in your heart and suffer as he suffered so it is the only way for you to escape demons and gremlins monsters and hellfire that burn ! god can't go on earth in a magnificent beautiful form ! he need to impregnante a simple human woman so a second 100% humanified god can be born ! jews will betray him and romans will execute the order of the jews ! but fear not ! cause this simple execution is in reality all the sins of the world that jesus carry on his cross while he is crusified ! he is not put to death because the romans sentenced him. but because he somehow magically extinguished sin by dying. god is so much great and so smart and love you so much that he sent his son to die without letting him ask his choice "father why have you forsaken me" but somehow his death is magical and save ! read john-13 he still is god ! and in christ we trust ! cause in christ we are saved ! revelations will come and they will all go to hell exept the elected ! that how esus ret*rded logic is. stop considering him as an incarnation of vishnu. nowaday hinduism is shit

    Christianity began as sun worship, the stories about Jesus are symbolic. He is just a personification of the sun, made into a god figure later on. The sun "dies" for 3 days on December 22nd, the winter solstice, when it stops its movement south, to be born again or resurrected on December 25th, when it resumes its movement north. In some areas, the calendar originally began in the constellation of Virgo, and the sun would therefore be "born of a Virgin" The sun rising in the morning is "the saviour of mankind" The sun is "The light of the World" The sun "walks on water" is just the reflection of the sun on water/the sea. "He cometh on clouds, and every eye shall see him", is just sun rays. Jesus' "crown of thorns" is just the sun's glare, also know as a halo. The sun's "followers", "helpers" or "disciples" are the 12 months and the 12 signs of the zodiac or constellations, through which the sun must pass. The sun at 12 noon is in the house or temple of the "Most High": thus.."he" begins "his Father's work" at "age" 12. The sun enters into each sign of the zodiac at 30 degrees, hense, the "Sun of God" begins his ministry at "age" 30. The sun is hung on a cross or "crucified", which represents its passing through the equinoxes. The vernal equinox being Easter, at which time it is then resurrected.

    I was raised as a Christian, but im Agnostic now. I think Jesus could have been one person, or perhaps he was a few different peoples stories put together, or perhaps he was just a symbol of faith and a means of spreading a message. Regardless, im a big fan of the New Testament and that Jesus is real to me. Though i might not follow christianity, i still live by what Jesus taught and find so much Biblical teaching to be wonderful as a way to deal with the struggle of being human. Whatever jesus means to people i think how many believe in him in each different way that we do, makes him real anyway. Whatever that means for you. Thats i guess why beliefs are so very personal. ❤
