If you can watch hours of youtube videos you will see that records were kept as far back as 334BC of Alexander the great King of Macedonia.

Sorry Mindhacker, but if I "watch hours of youtube videos" I will be shown that records were kept but that does not make it true, and you might as well have said if I read the Bible for hours I'd be shown Gods exist or the earth is flat or that rats talk.

Records were not recorded and kept as rigourously as you seem to think, and what was recorded did not survive intact from 334BC is what proper scholar investigations shows. There were no journalists posting news reports for instance, and even today with them, we would argue about the authenticity of their kept records. And that's apart from the fact that Jesus would have been a rather insignificant individual prior to his supposed crucifixion which is what may have made him popular outside the tiny region he was written to have peddled his wares.

When I was like really young, these mates of mine who grew up in Obanikoro Village told me rats talk. Well, even at barely 7, I was atheistic in nature, so I argued that rats don't talk. Now there were like 5 of them, so they ganged up on me calling me all sorts of names and that I know nothing, "rats talk jo!".

One day, about two years later, we were in the home of one of them and NTA was showing Tom and Jerry. "There," they said, pointing to the telly. "I thought you said rats don't talk?"

Turns out oyinbo rats do talk, silly me!

Not to support the asinine OP that he was created by the Romans, but what if he wasn’t known inside or outside his stomping grounds because he didn’t exist at all.

Not to claim he existed or not, but "he didn’t exist at all" is one possible reason he may not have been known outside his stomping grounds. How about "he did exist but I wasn't interested enough", or "his stomping ground was not my stomping ground" or "I was too ignorant or busy to know about him then and I now claim he never existed at all"? I could after all be the most popular and famous individual in the Orolu Kingdom of Ifon Osun but not exist as far as an individual in Oshogbo or Kano was concerned.

Basically, can I not be known and unknown at the same time?

KnownUnknown, MindHacker9009, do note that there is a difference between the existence of a Jesus Christ, and the truth of what is read about a Jesus Christ in the Bible.

While one may argue that no one literally walks on water or feeds thousands with a couple of loaves of bread and fish or raise the dead etc, that does not mean the person stories have been fabricated about did not exist.

I can fabricate lies about the billions of roubles I have in my pocket and how I fly to the moon for breakfast every morning but that does not make my existence a lie.

What is the oldest written history?

The Epic of Gilgamesh started out as a series of Sumerian poems and tales dating back to 2100 B.C., but the most complete version was written around the 12th century B.C. by the Babylonians.

To show how backward you are and that you don't have a functioning brain, as you cannot watch hours of youtube Ancient History Documentary, that is one of many youtube videos that have enlightened those in developed countries who brought you and your forefathers your Chestus that has kept you in a shithole all along waiting for the second coming of your Chestus to get you out of the shithole they have put you in

Ancient History Documentary

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kKjbc66qp3Y





And yet, another deeper level of idiocy on display;

1. Are the content creators on that YouTube channel Jewish scholars and historians? Do they suddenly know the history of the Jews better than the Jews themselves?

2. Using your own logic against you, did these “researchers” exist between 6BC to 33AD in Israel as eye witnesses to confirm Jesus Christ never existed?

Nauseating level of idiocy and bias on display from the supreme comedian of the multiverse cheesy

It's referred to as literature in what you posted, the "copying down essays, hymns, poetry and myths" that "started out as a series of Sumerian poems", and note how you [sneakily] changed that to history to increase its authenticity.

If I do the same with the writings of Chinua Achebe, Okonkwo will be a historical figure in Things Fall Apart, which is what I think is what you are claiming was how Jesus was created. No?

The Epic of Gilgamesh is not history, I suggest.

I’m pretty sure that boy is from Chicago, Illinois, U.S.A. and is not a Jew. He is an American of European descent.



Let me get this straight. White girl in America paints a picture of a white American and calls it Jesus?
It is a painting of a bearded white man. How is this Jesus?! Did the Jesus guy leave any picture or bust of himself that can be used to verify this girl’s painting?



There stories are unverifiable and incredible. A painting of a random white man is just a painting of a random white man. There is nothing more to it. Unless the Jesus guy appeared in the flesh and the girl then painted him, there is nothing believable about her claim. Even then, proof of the encounter would be required and the words of a little white girl and her parents are thoroughly insufficient.
The four year old white boy who went to heaven is even more ridiculous. I wonder if he wrote the story or his parent wrote the nonsense story.




For the umpteenth time, that is not a white man.

Understand the difference between an European and an Israeli. From the hair texture, skin tone etc.

And by the way, you can find Colton Burpo, Akiane Kramarik and other witnesses who corroborate same…then argue with them.

This is a different topic altogether which has been discussed on multiple threads on nairaland. You arrived very late to this party.

The below might better fit your authenticity test for history since it "provides information on the exchange of goods such as grains and fabric" likely by people who were exchanging them at the time, though I would add, more research required.

A small collection of bone and ivory tags, pottery vessels, and clay seal impressions were uncovered at the Umm el Qu’ab necropolis in Abydos, Egypt. The artifacts contain what are believed to be the earliest known Egyptian writing. The hieroglyphs date to between 3400 – 3200 BCE and are the oldest recorded history discovered so far in the world.

To show your level of ignorance you cannot name any other Jewish historian who has claimed the existence of "Jesus Christ" or your "Chrestus" apart from Flavius Josephus not born during the time of your Chrestus and who was working for the Roman empire against his fellow Jews who see him as a traitor to the Jews

I guess Matthew, John (the disciples of Jesus Christ) and James, Jude (the younger brothers of Jesus Christ) are no longer Jewish eye witnesses right?

And why do the Jewish scholars and historians past and present don’t unanimously deny the existence of Jesus Christ?

What truth is read in the Bible?
The word “truth” ceases to have any discernible meaning when it comes to religious beliefs.

In normal usage truth is that which is true or in accordance with fact or reality.

What is in accordance with reality about mythology of the jews that y’all place on a pedestal?

What truth is read about the Jew with the Graeco Roman name who was the “Christ”?

E.g: If we are told by the europeans after they destroyed the Ifa temple and took all the artifacts to Europe, that Ifa mated with a virgin and the virgin gave bath to a messiah and was crucified by the europeans when they were occupying Nigeria, then Ifa messiah rose up on the 3rd promised to come back soon for his followers and ascended into heaven but for over 2000 years the Ifa messiah has not returned.

Now imagine that all Ifa priests are saying that Ifa has never promised to mate with a woman and their Ifa messiah has not come and the Europeans that destroyed the Ifa temple are telling you that Ifa mated with a virgin and the virgin gave birth to the Ifa messiah.

It is pure ignorance for those who believe the above when the Jews whose messiah is now the made up "Jesus Chris" to mock them after they were conquered.

Not to claim he existed or not, but "he didn’t exist at all" is one possible reason he may not have been known outside his stomping grounds. How about "he did exist but I wasn't interested enough", or "his stomping ground was not my stomping ground" or "I was too ignorant or busy to know about him then and I now claim he never existed at all"? I could after all be the most popular and famous individual in the Orolu Kingdom of Ifon Osun but not exist as far as an individual in Oshogbo or Kano was concerned.

Basically, can I not be known and unknown at the same time?

Or he didn’t exist at all because mythology and allegory do not relate fact and at best embellished tales if not outright lies.

Shango could be after all the most famous Yoruba king but not exist as far as an individual in Shanghai is concerned. Regardless, he couldn’t send thunderbolts to harm his enemies because that is an obvious incredible and improbable claim.

Even if one ignores the probability of the “pious fraud” and agree that the dude really did exist, what does that prove?

Does it now prove a virgin gave birth to him in a manger, or that he could perform supernatural acts, or that the he was the son of the Jewish god?
The god of Israel has to be real for it to even have an “only begotten son” with a Greek name.

There is usually no argument about the existence of Mohammed but does his existence prove the incredible claims made about him or justify the madness of the Islamist murderers?

EA Adeboye exists and is a very pious man. But does that prove that he drove 300km on an empty gas tank like he claimed?
