A Brief History of Jesus Christ Part 1

This is going to be the most controversial topic I tackle. I want to give religion the upmost respect it deserves. A physicist Bill Cooper once said, "It's better to believe in something than to fall fall anything."

I present to you - A Brief History of Jesus Christ--

OAD 33AD 70AD 100AD
*-------------------------------------------------------------→
Jesus’ Birth Jesus’ Death Mark, Matthew, Luke, John


Mark was the first to write in the New Testament. The odd thing was, Mark never lived in the time of Christ. Mark’s Gospels talk about the destruction of the Christian Temple in Jerusalem - that event happened in 70AD - 37 years after the death of Christ.

A light blinded the link Saul or better known as Paul - and the Lord told him to start spreading the light of Jesus Christ. Paul’s influence is what formed the early Christian Church. Paul wrote many letters - 80, 000 words to be exact about the Christian religion - his literature is all we have about Christianity through this 37-year gap.

- If Jesus was a human that lived, nobody told Paul. Paul never heard of Mary, Joseph, Herod, John the Baptist, he didn’t know about the miracles or a secret entrance into Jerusalem, nor does he quote anything Jesus ever said.
- Paul writes about three events: the cross, the resurrection, and the ascension.
- Paul writes his gospel in a mythical realm - just like all the gospels of the mythical Gods of the time.
- “If Jesus had been on earth, he would not even have been a priest” Hebrews 8:4.
- Paul doesn’t know Jesus is an actual human being, but he’s the link that connects Jesus with the apostles that came 4 generations later.

Allegoric literature was very common. Mark wasn’t writing history - he was writing a symbolic and metaphorical Gospel. There are other lost Gospels these authors wrote, but they were disregarded for being too folkloristic.

The early Christians believe the Jesus story happened a century prior to Christ, as we know. This Jesus was killed under King Alexander Geniius of Rome.

After speculation, someone placed a mythical figure in historical documentations. There is no concrete evidence supporting Jesus’ existence except for a book that is a retelling of other mythological folklores.
