Not that exact sentence, no.

You said he didn't invent everything but you only identified two exceptions in a way suggesting they might be the only exceptions:

It appears to me that Eusebius did not invent Marcion or Justin Martyr.
Inclusion of the phrase "for example" would have eliminated the appearance that these two are the only things he didn't invent.

Then you said he was part of a group who invented everything:

...And, by the way, I don't think Eusebius acted alone. It seems as though he and others were given the authority to fabricate the new history of the Roman Church.
So, yes, you did claim that Eusebius invented the history of the Church but you also claimed he didn't do it alone and he didn't invent Marcion or Justin Martyr.

This is absolutely astounding. You are actually re-confirming and admitting your own errors.

You are unbelievable.

You are blatant.

Look at the conclusion of the post again.

Now the answer to this last question is a PIECE of CAKE.

All those who appear to have independently witnessed fiction or knew people who witnessed fiction in the identical chronological order and time zone got their information from one single source.

Now, who or what is that single source?

The answer is a PIECE of CAKE.

THE LAST SOURCE.

It was the last source that provided and co-ordinated all the fictitious material with the chronological order and time zone, that is why it appears as though many of the writers of Jesus and his followers independently witnessed fiction or knew people who witnessed fiction yet all the time appear to remain in perfect historical harmony.

The 4th century ROMAN CHURCH was the LAST SOURCE.

It has become very clear to me, recently, that the re-construction of the Roman Church is far simpler than I ever imagined. In fact, I have already found the fundamental link, may be a year ago, that can show that many of the writings including 1 Clement, Ignatius, Polycarp, Papias, Irenaeus, Tertullian, Clement of Alexandria Origen, Eusebius and others all contain fictitious information relating to the history of Jesus believers.

In order to show that these fore-mentioned writings all propagate fiction, these premises must be true.

1. Jesus of the NT did not exist.

2. There were no disciples of Jesus, including one called apostle Simon Peter, Simon Cephas

3. The Pauline writer called Paul is a backdated fiction writer.


Once the above premises are true, then every single writer that I have mentioned are either witnesses to fiction or knew or wrote about people that witnessed fiction.

But, to simplify the matter, I will just go to the first bishop of Rome called Peter, whose name the non-existent Jesus changed from Simon.

All writers who wrote that Peter was the first bishop and numerated the bishops that followed Peter wrote total fiction. Peter the apostle did not exist.

Peter could not have known Clement of Rome, the character called Clement of Rome is a fiction writer.

The letter called 1 Clement contains fiction wherever the writer mentioned the name Paul. Peter and Paul were never together. Peter was a non-existent character. The character Paul is a backdated fiction writer.

Many of the writers that I have mentioned are fiction writers, they wrote of a post-ascension period where fictitious characters participated in supposedly real events and were witnessed by real people who the writers knew.

Based on church writings, Polycarp knew the apostle John or knew people that knew John. This is total fiction John did not exist.

Now, I managed to locate some writers that did not ever in their extant writings mention any known post-ascension fiction.

These writers are Justin Martyr, Theophilus of Antioch and Athenagoras.

These writers has nothing whatsoever about Acts of the Apostles and the Pauline letters, all post-ascension backdated fiction.

I will use these writings, Justin, Theophilus and Athenagoras, as of now, as the most likely true history of Jesus believers or christians until evidence can show these writings were also post ascension backdated fiction.

The 4th century Roman Church is the source for many of the so-called church writers, some of them being fiction writers well outside their alloted time zone.

Yep, still irrelevant to your earlier words denying your recent assertion.

We have two C14 citations:

(1) gJudas = 290 CE (plus or minus 60 years)
(nb: the gJudas team suggest a fourth century date)

(2) gThomas = 348 CE (plus or minus 60 years)
(nb: this is sourced from the Nag Hammadi Codices)

I welcome a third and fourth.

Examine Irenaeus in Against Heresies 2.22, it will be noticed that he has written post-ascension fiction with respect to a fictitious disciple of the never-existent Jesus called John.

Excerpts of "Against Heresies" 22.2.5
Quote:
"Now Jesus was, as it were, beginning to be thirty years old,"(13) when He
came to receive baptism); and, [according to these men,] He preached
only one year reckoning from His baptism.

On completing His thirtieth year He suffered, being in fact still a young man, and who had by no means attained to advanced age.

Now, that the first stage of early life embraces thirty years,(1) and that this extends onwards to the fortieth year, every one will admit; but from the fortieth and
fiftieth year a man begins to decline towards old age, which our Lord
possessed while He still fulfilled the office of a Teacher, even as
the Gospel and all the elders testify; those who were conversant in
Asia with John, the disciple of the Lord, [affirming] that John
conveyed to them that information.

(2) And he remained among them up to the times of Trajan. (3) Some of them, moreover, saw not only John, but the other apostles also, and heard the very same account from them, and bear testimony as to the [validity of] the statement. Whom then should we rather believe? Whether such men as these, or Ptolemaeus, who never saw the apostles, and who never even in his dreams attained to the slightest trace of an apostle?
The apostle John of the fiction called Jesus did not exist, he could not have live in Asia or until the time of Trajan.

Irenaeus could not have known anyone who knew or heard the apostle John.

Irenaeus is a fiction writer.

This is the fiction writer Irenaeus falsely claiming to know a person called Polycarp who knew the fictitious apostles.

"Against Heresies"3.3.4
Quote:
4. But Polycarp also was not only instructed by apostles, and conversed with many who had seen Christ, but was also, by apostles in Asia, appointed bishop of the Church in Smyrna, whom I also saw in my early youth, for he tarried [on earth] a very long time, and, when a very old man, gloriously and most nobly suffering martyrdom,(1) departed this life, having always taught the things which he had learned from the apostles, and which the Church has handed down, and which alone are true....
Irenaeus could not have seen a person who saw any apostles that saw Jesus. The stories of Jesus and his twelve disciple were fabricted and backdated.

Polycarp then would have lived perhaps even before the Jesus stories were backdated.

Irenaeus is a post-ascension fiction story teller, and an eye-witness to Polycarp who witnessed fiction.

Whatever dude. You keep talking about the last source in the 4th century. If you're not referring to Eusebius, then what the hell *are* you referring to?

I have isolated another passage in Against Heresies by Irenaeus that highlights post-ascension backdated fiction.

It is clearly evident that the fiction in Against Heresies were written at some other time later than the suggested time of Irenaeus.

Jesus did not exist. The apostles of Jesus were non-existent, inluding Peter, yet the writer called Irenaeus claimed Clement and Linus were aware of the fiction called apostles.

Clement and Polycarp are fiction, so also are the bishops that succeeded the fable Peter. The Roman church is fiction up to the time of Irenaeus and beyond.

This is the fiction writings of Irenaeus. There was no Church founded by the non-existent apostles.

Against Heresies 3.3.3
Quote:
3. The blessed apostles, then, having founded and built up the Church, committed into the hands of Linus the office of the
episcopate. Of this Linus, Paul makes mention in the Epistles to
Timothy. To him succeeded Anacletus; and after him, in the third place
from the apostles, Clement was allotted the bishopric.
More fiction. The apostles with Peter did not exist, yet Clement was aware of them. Clement saw and spoke with them. This is blatant fiction.

AGAINST HERESIES 3.3.3
Quote:
This man, as he had seen the blessed apostles, and had been conversant with them,
might be said to have the preaching of the apostles still echoing [in his ears], and their traditions before his eyes. Nor was he alone [in this], for there were many still remaining who had received instructions from the apostles.
The fact that Peter was a the non-existent but yet was declared the 1st bishop of Rome will cause a catastrophic domino-effect.

When I push Peter, the whole history of Roman Church will fall to pieces. Forever.

It is Humpty-Dumpty time for the history of the CHURCH

So far, the fiction writer called Irenaeus claimed he saw Polycarp.

Polycarp saw the fiction called the apostles and was instructed by them. Polycarp even knew people who saw Jesus. Total fiction.

But, another early church father was aware of the fiction called Polycarp. This writer somehow managed to write to Polycarp about matters pertaining to the church while on his voyage as a prisonner, condemned to die for the same avtivity he was carrying out while on his way to Rome.

This fiction writer was the man from Ephesus called Ignatius.

Who supplied Ignatius with pen, paper and ink while in custody awaiting death in Rome?

Ignatius wrote a letter to a witness of fiction. He wrote a letter to Polycarp.

Ignatius appears to be aware of the Pauline letters but the Pauline letters are backdated fiction, they were written long after Ignatius was supposed to be dead.

Ignatius claimed Paul was martyred, but the matyrdom of Paul was backdated fiction. The matyrdom of Paul was written long after Ignatius was supposed to be dead.

Ignatius ,if he really lived in the 1st century, could not have written such false information and still want people to accept such erroneous information as true.

The information in the letters from Ignatius about Paul, the apostles and Polycarp are from another time zone. Paul, the Acts of the apostles, and Polycarp are backdated fiction.

Ignatius in his letter to the Romans claimed Peter and Paul issued commandments to the Church, but Peter was a never-existed fictitious character. Peter and Paul together in Rome is backdated post ascension fiction. Paul was a fiction writer who lived long after Ignatius was supposed to be dead.

Irenaeus, Polycarp, Ignatius, and Clement of Rome are backdated post-ascension fiction writers. The fictitious information in those writings were provided by one source.

The Roman Church.

When one is preaching rather than discussing or defending one's assertions, questions and apparent errors are ignored.
