Comment on Is there any real physical proof that Jesus christ ever existed?
frightful_hobgoblin@lemmy.ml 4 months agoWell that’s an entirely different question. Entirely different field.
“the son of God, who was crucified and rose again on the third day” is for silly Christians.
The question under discussion here is about Roman-era history.

You suck ass at reading. The title of this post is asking about “Jesus Christ,” which we all know to mean the son of God and the guy that resurrected after 3 days.

lol no… this thread is not talking about anything like that hahaha. Read it.
Obviously people don’t come back from the dead or transform into cheddar cheese; we don’t need historical research to tell us that.
His given name was יֵשׁוּעַ or Yeshua, which is Jesus in one speech-type, عيسى (ʿIsà) in another, as well as a lot of other variants.
‘Christus’ in Latin seems to refer to the same person; Tacitus wrote “called Christians by the populace. Christus, from whom the name had its origin, suffered the extreme penalty during the reign of Tiberius at the hands of one of our procurators, Pontius Pilatus”

I’m not debating with you the question that was asked as to start this thread. It’s visible to literally anyone that looks it.
If you wanted to answer a question that was not asked by the OP, that’s on you.

Agreed.

What do you think of what Ehrman says here at 1h45m25s that the mythicist theory isn’t taken seriously by the academy because it’s mostly pushed by people who seem eager to dunk on religion: invidious.fdn.fr/watch?v=GzjYmpwbHEA&listen=1
