Ancient Confession Found: ‘We Invented Jesus Christ’
Biblical scholars will be appearing at the ‘Covert Messiah’ Conference at Conway Hall in London on the 19th of October to present this controversial discovery to the British public.


American Biblical scholar Joseph Atwill will be appearing before the British public for the first time in London on the 19th of October to present a controversial new discovery: ancient confessions recently uncovered now prove, according to Atwill, that the New Testament was written by first-century Roman aristocrats and that they fabricated the entire story of Jesus Christ. His presentation will be part of a one-day symposium entitled “Covert Messiah” at Conway Hall in Holborn (full details can be found at http://www.covertmessiah.com).

Although to many scholars his theory seems outlandish, and is sure to upset some believers, Atwill regards his evidence as conclusive and is confident its acceptance is only a matter of time. “I present my work with some ambivalence, as I do not want to directly cause Christians any harm,” he acknowledges, “but this is important for our culture. Alert citizens need to know the truth about our past so we can understand how and why governments create false histories and false gods. They often do it to obtain a social order that is against the best interests of the common people.”

Atwill asserts that Christianity did not really begin as a religion, but a sophisticated government project, a kind of propaganda exercise used to pacify the subjects of the Roman Empire. “Jewish sects in Palestine at the time, who were waiting for a prophesied warrior Messiah, were a constant source of violent insurrection during the first century,” he explains. “When the Romans had exhausted conventional means of quashing rebellion, they switched to psychological warfare. They surmised that the way to stop the spread of zealous Jewish missionary activity was to create a competing belief system. That’s when the ‘peaceful’ Messiah story was invented. Instead of inspiring warfare, this Messiah urged turn-the-other-cheek pacifism and encouraged Jews to ‘give onto Caesar’ and pay their taxes to Rome.”

Was Jesus based on a real person from history? “The short answer is no,” Atwill insists, “in fact he may be the only fictional character in literature whose entire life story can be traced to other sources. Once those sources are all laid bare, there’s simply nothing left.”

Atwill’s most intriguing discovery came to him while he was studying “Wars of the Jews” by Josephus [the only surviving first-person historical account of first-century Judea] alongside the New Testament. “I started to notice a sequence of parallels between the two texts,” he recounts. “Although it’s been recognised by Christian scholars for centuries that the prophesies of Jesus appear to be fulfilled by what Josephus wrote about in the First Jewish-Roman war, I was seeing dozens more. What seems to have eluded many scholars is that the sequence of events and locations of Jesus ministry are more or less the same as the sequence of events and locations of the military campaign of [Emperor] Titus Flavius as described by Josephus. This is clear evidence of a deliberately constructed pattern. The biography of Jesus is actually constructed, tip to stern, on prior stories, but especially on the biography of a Roman Caesar.”



How could this go unnoticed in the most scrutinised books of all time? “Many of the parallels are conceptual or poetic, so they aren’t all immediately obvious. After all, the authors did not want the average believer to see what they were doing, but they did want the alert reader to see it. An educated Roman in the ruling class would probably have recognised the literary game being played.” Atwill maintains he can demonstrate that “the Roman Caesars left us a kind of puzzle literature that was meant to be solved by future generations, and the solution to that puzzle is ‘We invented Jesus Christ, and we’re proud of it.'”

Is this the beginning of the end of Christianity? “Probably not,” grants Atwill, “but what my work has done is give permission to many of those ready to leave the religion to make a clean break. We’ve got the evidence now to show exactly where the story of Jesus came from. Although Christianity can be a comfort to some, it can also be very damaging and repressive, an insidious form of mind control that has led to blind acceptance of serfdom, poverty, and war throughout history. To this day, especially in the United States, it is used to create support for war in the Middle East.”

Atwill encourages skeptics to challenge him at Conway Hall, where after the presentations there is likely to be a lively Q&A session. Joining Mr.Atwill will be fellow scholar Kenneth Humphreys, author of the book “Jesus Never Existed.”

So because Flavius Josephus happens to mention James the brother of Jesus in his history book, The Jewish antiquities, it then means that he wrote the gospel? Very funny reasoning from a so called educated man.

1.How is it then that the "invented" Jesus seem to tick all the boxes in the in the Jewish scriptures for a messiah? Josephus must have been a very good student of the Jewish scripute to be able to invent that. And to think that Josephus is Jew would make wonder why he would want to write for an emperor. (Mind you, his history contains the murder and massacre of many Jews by the romans)

2. When did this invented Jesus become so popular that he influenced like people like Paul and Peter to travel and preach this Jesus in Asia minor and Europe? Or were these men invented too?

As a Christian I am never afraid to listen or watch this video, cos it will take very strong logic and reasoning to convince me that Jesus was fiction. The evidence in the scriptures and history (of which the writings of Flavius Josephus is one them)

it was pope leo X that said [size=20] It has served us well, this myth of christ [/size]

Arabs an Jews are the main problem of this world. spreading their longtime hatred with each other thru Islam and christianity!

Op, this confession is too weak try something else better than this. May be a story from one random poet or playwright will tickle ma fanzy

the same Jesus I see? Two times and he called me by my name. The devil is a liar.

confess your sin and be saved,there is still hope for you, the world or your world may end any moment from now and you will give account of your self.
(the world may end by the coming of christ or your world may end now or tomorrow)

Satan will deceive you first before he uses you to deceive others.why always jesus is the problem for people. terrorism everywhere ,racism and many others. The more they criticise Him the more the people get to know the truth and knowing HIM more. Mr atwill should dare not step his feet in synagogue church of all nation because a touch of t.b joshua is enough to expose spirit possessing him to mock God.
