Default An Historical Jesus is a Product of Belief

HJers today claim there was an Historical Jesus of Nazareth, baptized by John and crucified under Pilate.

But, how did they come to such a conclusion???

HJers will NOT ever See, Hear or come in contact with a real human Jesus.

If a real human Jesus did exist then he was ALREADY dead since the time of Pilate.

In effect, HJers can ONLY BELIEVE the Bible and Apologetic sources. HJers have NO other choice but to BELIEVE.

ONLY the Bible and Apologetic sources mention an HJ of Nazareth, baptized by John and crucified under Pilate.

Well, that is EXACTLY and Precisely what happened in antiquity--1800 years ago the Jesus cult was STARTED when people of antiquity BELIEVED a Jesus story in the 2nd century.

ALL Jesus stories that have been found and DATED are NO earlier than the 2nd century about 100 years AFTER the supposed Jesus was dead.

The HJ argument has DEVOURED itself. A Belief that HJ existed does NOT require a real human Jesus--just a story that is BELIEVED.

Obscure HJ of Nazareth is a PRODUCT of HJer's BELIEF just like Jesus of Nazareth the Son of a Ghost and God the Creator, MUST be the Product of BELIEF in antiquity.

Who packaged the product, when did they do this, where did they do this, how did they do this, why did they do this and what evidence supports any answers to these questions?

The point is that TODAY HJers use the very Canon, the same 1800 year old Jesus story to claim Jesus was a figure of history based SOLELY on BELIEF.

This is EXACTLY what happened in the 2nd century.

People of antiquity BELIEVED Jesus did exist based PURELY on BELIEF.

There is NO evidence whatsoever of a Jesus story from the supposed time of Jesus.

EVERBODY in antiquity and HJers of TODAY who claim Jesus did exist do so based ENTIRELY on Belief.

HJers have shown that an ACTUAL historical Jesus is NOT really needed to argue that Jesus did exist.

ALL that is NEEDED is a Plausible Jesus story.

It was Plausible in antiquity that Jesus was FATHERED by a Ghost of God, Walked on water, Transfigured, Resurrected and Ascended in a cloud.

HJers BELIEVE those very Bible sources are about an Historical Jesus.

HJers BELIEVE the Jesus stories WITHOUT seeing Jesus so it should have been FAR EASIER for fundamentalists and Christians of antiquity to BELIEVE them.

These words are found in the Bible.

John 20:29 KJV
Quote:
Jesus saith....... blessed are they that have not seen , and yet have believed .
HJers are NO different to people of antiquity.

HJers are BLESSED--they BELIEVE Jesus existed by reading stories in the Bible.
