In order to understand the Jesus story one must FIRST know read what the authors of the Jesus Christ story wrote--not what is imagined.

The Jesus Christ story is about the EXPECTED Christ--the EXPECTED Messianic ruler--the EXPECTED King of the Jews.

Please read Sinaiticus gMatthew to uderstand that "Christ" means "the King of the Jews".

Matthew 2 The NT Canon is about Jesus the King of the Jews--not a scarcely known itinerant preacher.

Yes and all this literature came out sometime after jesus died. During his life all this was unknown. It was unknown that there was a star over Bethlehem it was unknown that Herod wanted him dead.
All the HJ theory has is a first name,plausibility and a lot of imagination.
Erhman says in his book; Let's say that Jesus existed, what can we say about his life?

What??? The literature about the death of someone usually comes out AFTER, AFTER the person is dead.

The Pauline writer claimed the King of the Jews was ALIVE when he wrote his letters.

And how is it that HJers ARGUE that Antiquities of the Jews 20.9.1 is authentic and that Josephus was AWARE of the character called Jesus the King of the Jews???

Are you NOT aware that Ehrman argues that Paul was a supposed CONTEMPORARY of Jesus who is called the King of the Jews OVER 300 times by Paul???

Ehrman claims that stories in gMark ORIGINATED in Aramaic so are likely to be historical.

Once Jesus did EXIST and his contemporaries like Paul, Cephas, John, James, Barnabas, Andronicus, Aquilla, Priscilla, Lucas, Marcus and others did call Jesus the King of the Jews then it really does not matter when any other book was written.

It really would NOT matter much who first wrote a book about President Obama if Obama did exist and was President of the USA

Now, whether the story about Jesus the King of the Jews in the NT is Fiction or Not Ehrman is Still an INVENTOR.

Ehrman was Busted as soon as he claimed Jesus was a scarcely known itinerant preacher--there is NO such history in ALL of antiquity.

Please, the Pauline King of the Jews was WELL KNOWN since the time of King Aretas c 37-41 CE if the Pauline writings are history.

Romans 1Galatians 1 There were ALREADY Churches UNDER the name of the KING of the JEWS BEFORE the Pauline writer started to preach the Faith.

Ehrman is BUSTED once he claims Paul was a Contemporary of Jesus Christ--the KING of the JEWS.

Toto has been Busted. Ehrman claimed it is most likely to be TRUE.

In "Did Jesus Exist?" page 188 by Bart Ehrman it is claimed that it is highly improbable that the Jewish followers of Jesus made up the claim that the MESSIAH was crucified.

"Did Jesus Exist?" Page 188— Ehrman has CONTRADICTED himself very badly.

1. Jesus was a scarcely known itinerant preacher.

2. The followers of Jesus did NOT make up the claim that the Messiah was crucified.

If Jesus did exist and was called the Messiah by his Jewish followers as Ehrman proposes then he was NOT a scarcely known itinerant preacher.

Ehrman has been Busted.

HJ, if he did live, was NOT an itinerant preacher--he was called the King of the Jews--the prophesied Messianic ruler.
