The metaphor known as "Christ" emerged out of these false interpretations.

(I know this theory will sound crazy to many, but it certainly is more likely than the literal alternative--isn't it?)
Deep Breath!

Umm have you heard of Caesar's Messiah? Welcome btw!

Thanks.
I can give some.

Alfredo Conde, spanish , as me, say that all, repeat, ALL, books of the new testament- gospels- are false. See that, and read on line first chapter of his book, "Simón, opera magna". He demostrates with proofs, not only telling, how Eusebio de Cesárea in IV a.C. counterfeit the entire New Testament. The key is "S-i-m-o-n" word repeated a lot throught the entire new testament books.

Who was Simon? Read the book.

Another great help is Luigi Cascioli, with " La favola di Cristo", absolutely not to be missing. " The fable (or myth) of Christ". He also demonstrates the indisputable of not-existence of Jesus, but this book is much, indispensable to easily understand the labiryinth of religions from IV b.c to I-II a.C.
