Jesus didn't write anything down. Nobody who met him wrote anything down. Not a single document, inscription, or anything dates from when he was alive. No contemporary scholar mentions him or his cult. Philo of Alexandria lived in the early first century and wrote about persecuted Jewish sects and doesn't mention him. At least half a century after he allegedly lived a story about a magic Jew shows up. Written in a foreign land and foreign language, anonymously authored with no sources cited. No originals exist, only scraps from the second century. No complete document until the 4th century. 



>Well I guess we'd better assume he was real. After all, nobody could possibly tell a story about someone who wasn't real.

christcucks are fucking retarded.

uuummmm sweaty.... paul met jesus. check your facts

Only in his dreams

God is the type to do this kind of thing because he is God all by himself. I have seen and touched power. It is the rumors + power that has established the name of Jesus. In any case, may this thread promote the Lord Jesus even more and announce him to the world even more.

He says he had a vision. If I claim to have a vision of Elvis that doesn't mean I met Elvis.

You preach here because most people here are historically illiterate and don't realize that most academics wouldn't even considering half of what you wrote to be arguments against his existence.

Christianity was barely a blip on the radar when Philo died. ? And by normal standards Paul would be considered contemporary with Jesus, heck, even Mark would be. Further we know the Greek Christians had ties to Israel, at least at first, inscriptions and extra biblical literature prove this. 

We don't have originals of most books written in the 1st century. We date such books based on the style they are written in and mentions in other sources. That's also how we know they aren't translations of Aramaic books. Textual criticism tells us these things.

Sure bro, the Jew god writes books but makes sure no originals survive, only scraps and no compete manuscripts for four centuries. Great fucking plan.

>Christianity was barely a blip on the radar

Do we know this or is it a rationalization for the lack of evidence? According to the magic jew story it was a big deal.

Acts 9 clearly says that he spoke to Jesus, and Jesus identified himself to Paul. He was awake

>Do we know this?

We know that it was an extremely small movement untill Paul's preaching yes. It was certainly growing, enough that it survived the Jewish wars, albeat perhaps changed in some ways by them, but it wasn't the kind of movement it would be by the second century. 

>According to the magic jew story it was a big deal.

Yes well the historical Jesus theory isn't about supporting Christianity and in fact many conservative Christians reject it as unbiblical. Its about what can we say about Jesus and his followers as as much certainty as is possible given the available evidence.
