Jesus Myth and Logic
By Jesus myth, I refer to the idea that Jesus never existed but was just another myth such as that of Horus and Mithras. Here I want to focus on the idea that Jesus never existed. What I want to do is try to examine the logic of the argument. If you follow the Jesus myth theory, I invite clarification of my ideas. My understanding of why some people do not believe in a historical Jesus is the following idea:
1. Real historical figures in antiquity have contemporary, unbiased, non-supernatural accounts of their lives.
2. Jesus does not have contemporary, unbiased, non-supernatural accounts of his life.
3. Jesus is not a real historical figure of antiquity.
If this is not an accurate set of premises, please correct me. Instead of focusing on premise 2, where most apologists including myself tend to go to, I want to focus on premise 1. I would say that this premise is false. Many of the significant figures of antiquity do not have contemporary accounts, the ones that exist are very biased and many of them include supernatural aspects. This would create a tremendous problem for this argument and someone wanting to deny the historicity of Jesus would have to come up with something better.
I have a soon to be published book stating 321 Prophecies that were either fulfilled by Jesus or were fulfilled while He was alive.
Also, asked yourself, what is today’s year on our calendar? (2017)
It is approximately 2017 years after the birth of Jesus.
If that is not enough for you, I quess it will tke the Spiorit of the living God to reveal Himself to you.
