Jesus in the NT was a PHANTOM, a Myth character, a fiction character, an invention, a fabrication, NOT real, non-historical, and completely made-up.

In other words, Jesus of the NT was merely BELIEVED to have existed EXACTLY like the Romans BELIEVED their Gods, like Zeus and Apollo did exist.
And so whatever exists in the imagination must exist in reality as well, such a pink and elephants but maybe not in that same order. And here the Gods are just trying to say: look at me and find yourself therein.

And, all that changed AFTER the Myth Believers [the Romans and Greeks], started to believe in the Mythological Son of God called Jesus Christ.

The Mythological attributes of Jesus probably was FAR MORE believeable and Superior than that of ALL the Greek/Romans Mythology.

The story that God decided to have his own Son MURDERED as a Sacrifice for the Sins of all mankind was probably EXTREMELY well-received by the Romans.

However, there is NO record of such a Myth character called Jesus Christ or any records that Jews practised the Ritual of human Sacrifice of Murdered victims at any time in the history of the Jews.

It is very daring yes, and challenging too, as to defend life for the sake of life is native to us as human beings and demands engagemant, much the same as the 'abortion argument' that only knows 2 sides with no middle on a sliding scale.

Know that here 'the ax was not [just] raised' but 'the lamb was slain' to have the 'corpus Christy' raised and they are now showing 'flashcards from heaven' to guide our way, . . . and though inviting it may be, it becomes a corker that is meant to pierce our very own heart in the end, and that so is where 'yeah-sayers' and 'nay-sayers' separate.

The Myth Believers, the very Romans, accepted the Myth Jesus, born of a Ghost and a woman, as a God.
