Yeah and they sold it to the Israelites who believed it and fabricated tourist sites in His respect such as the tomb where He was laid after He was crucified.

What's so unbelievable about that? If they could fabricate his existence, why should building a few tourist sites be a problem? Especially when such sites attract millions of tourists per annum, meaning money?

By the way, it was the Romans that named this character the ''King of the Jews'', not the Jews themselves who never recognised this 'Messiah', and still do not till today, as they practice Judaism, not christianity.

Funny how Nigerians worship a ''king of the Jews'' whom the 'Jews' themselves don't accept as their king.

Meanwhile, the long and short of that video is that the Jews were under brutal Roman occupation for many years, and in that time, they had expectations of a militant Messiah that would come and fight/destroy Roman rule.

In this time, writings by pro-Roman authors like the Flavians and Josephus began circulating about a messiah that had ALREADY COME AND GONE, or ascended, decades earlier, who was a pacifist. Who asked the Jews to ''turn the other cheek'', and to ''give unto Caesar what is Caesar's''.

Of course the Jewish population rejected the story of this suspiciously pro-Roman 'messiah', but small groups of Roman sponsored Jews accepted it, and began propagating the tale near and wide. That was the birth of 'Christianity'.

It was invented in order to pacify the Jews, and reduce their militancy. Christianity has served the same purposes down to this day, serving as a pacifier to oppressed peoples who would otherwise rise up against their oppressors and exploiters.

If you say that the Jews didn't accept Jesus as their Messiah, you would be absolutely correct, because that agrees with the fact they don't do that up till this very day despite that they are totally unanimous in the fact that He was a real character in their history and not invented.

So that's not debatable, but then to cook up an unfounded idea that the Romans invented Jesus, and then believe it, is nothing but just allowing your atheist tendencies to get to you to the extent that it could even make you believe in the absurd just as long as it agrees with your opposition against Him.

If you are still at the level where you automatically equate non-belief in Jesus with ''atheism'', then you have a very long way to go in this subject.

By the way, do you realise that there are thousands of belief systems outside of christianity which accept the existence of a Creator?

Did you watch the video? I'm surprised you said ''unfounded'', as there is tremendous evidence therein - not to mention healthy doses of common sense, that should make you examine/question what you've been indoctrinated with.

Jesus may be a 'real character' in Judaism, but that was because their book is simply reporting the history of the era, in which the Romans claimed this person had existed. The Jewish writers had no reason to dispute that such a person had existed in the past as claimed by the Romans. They just didn't regard this person - whoever he was - as their messiah.

The new convenant God promised the jews was a convenant of everlasting peace.. Not death for sin.. So the jews where waiting for a Messiah that will liberate them from their enemies and usher in an era of Peace.. Ezekiel 37 :26..

There was already a solution to the problem of sin in the old testament.. All God wanted was a sincere repentance and God will forgive your sins, no human sacrifice is required or necessary. 1st chronicle 14 :7..

The gospel we have today are all forged basically to deceive the gullible.. They have given the attributes of God to this man they created and has deceived people too..
God second commandment warned against worshipping the likeness of anything in heaven and earth or the waters under the earth.. So worshipping the likeness of a man, which is something found on earth is prohibited.. Cos it is tantamount to idolatry..

God gave the jews, it is an ever lasting law.. God does not make mistakes or changes..
The new testament is an insult against God..
