even historians who anti Christianity cannot deny the historicity of Christ. The writers of the gospels are not unknown they are Mathew mark Luke and John.
So Jesus is not a myth after all, right? You guys are in deep trouble.
He is a myth and you are wasting your whole life on it. The colonial masters that brought the religion to it has abandoned it. Almost all the churches in north London are now pubs or sold to Muslims....ño money to take care of it vos no attendance...
Jesus is the Roman empire invention, to control the masses...

If its for the same reason, Jesus wouldn't have come.

None of the guys you mentioned replaced the blood of an animal with his blood

After Jesus, the remission of sins via blood of animal stopped.

He was the last prophet that came
Where did you get the idea that God needs blood before he can forgive......and the blood of a human for that matter?

Go Sunday school, you no gree

Uder the law almost everything is purified with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sins. Hebrews 9:22 ESV

Hebrews 9:13-14

13 The blood of goats and bulls and the ashes of a heifer sprinkled on those who are ceremonially unclean sanctify them so that they are outwardly clean. 14 How much more, then, will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself unblemished to God, cleanse our consciences from acts that lead to death,[a] so that we may serve the living God!

Jesus primary reason of coming to this world was not to make you a successful business person, a rich person, a visionary leader, a prosperous career man or woman, a guru in the oil industry, a global figure e.t.c. All these are part of what the power of Jesus can do, but these are not His primary purpose of coming.

Jesus primary purpose of coming is to take away sin, break sinful addictions, to give us power to be holy and make heaven.

John 1:29 "The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world"..

Please pray this prayer very genuinely now: "Lord Jesus, forgive my sins now, take away my sins, come into my life and be my Lord and personal Saviour in Jesus name. Amen".
He also came to end the dispensation of the Law and ushered in grace that includes both the Jews and Gentiles.

Purified with blood?
This is pagan practice oh..
Where did you get it from?
The idea that Jesus’ death serves as an atonement for sin is not valid, for several key reasons grounded in Tanakh (Hebrew Bible) and Halachah (Jewish law).

Let’s break it down clearly and respectfully:

1. Human Sacrifice is Rejected by Torah

As mentioned before:
• Deuteronomy 12:31, Leviticus 18:21, Jeremiah 7:31 – Human sacrifice is called an abomination, not a path to holiness.
• Jesus being presented as a “sacrifice” directly contradicts the Torah’s teaching on what sacrifices are permissible: only specific kosher animals, offered in the Temple, and never humans.

2. Vicarious Atonement is Rejected
• Ezekiel 18:20 – “The soul that sins, it shall die.” No one can die for someone else’s sin.
• Torah’s model of atonement is individual responsibility and repentance (teshuvah).
• The prophets emphasize that God desires a contrite heart, not blood (see Hosea 14:3, Micah 6:6–8, Psalm 51).

3. Jesus Did Not Meet Messianic or Priestly Criteria
• If Jesus were a legitimate offering, he would have to be:
• A Levitical priest to offer a sacrifice (he wasn’t).
• Without blemish (sinless) – which is a theological claim but not a provable fact.
• Offered in the Temple by authorized priests—which didn’t happen.

Even the Christian claim that Jesus “fulfilled” the role of the Paschal Lamb (korban Pesach) is deeply flawed:
• The Passover lamb was never a sin offering.
• It was eaten by families, not offered for atonement.

4. The Temple System Was Not Replaced by a Person
• Torah and the Prophets never hint that sacrifices would one day be replaced by the death of a man.
• When the Temple is gone, the response is repentance, prayer, and deeds of lovingkindness (see Hosea 14:2–3, Daniel 4:24, I Kings 😎.

5. Logical Problem:

If Jesus’ death paid for all sin:
• Why is repentance still necessary in Christianity?
• Why do Christians still suffer?
• Why did evil continue?

It collapses under theological and scriptural scrutiny.

Conclusion (Torah View):

according to the eternal standard of Torah, Jesus’ death is not a valid atonement. It goes against:
• God’s laws,
• The nature of sacrifice,
• The requirement for personal repentance,
• And the Jewish understanding of the Messiah.

You missed the point when you address Jesus as "human"

Revelation 12:11

And they have conquered him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, for they loved not their lives even unto death.

Ephesians 1:7 ESV

In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace,

There is no evidence that he, Moses, taught the Truth of the God of His ancestors to his in-laws, with whom he eventually parted ways.

Everybody who has sinned will someday pay for his/her sins…don’t keep fooling yourselves and living in denial.

That's your own book! Noah after the flood became a nuisance who started drinking and became without cloth that he cursed an innocent son. That's not the Noah in Islam. He was sent to call his people back to the worship of God alone! And he did that for 950 years!

➜ Abraham's particular cause was to his very descendants, particularly ensuring the continuation of the bloodline that was his. There is no report of Abraham taking the Truth of God to the Egyptians or any of the other kings he entangled with.
That's your Bible! Abraham preached against idolatry to his people and he taught them a lesson. They tried killing him by throwing him into the fire but the fire didn't harm him at all.
He also did call his father out of idolatry all to no avail.

Your statement is far from the truth!
Everything to do with God is all-embracing, all-encompassing and can NEVER be restricted to any individual’s bloodline.
Your thinking is restricted because you think in human terms and probably do things to benefit ONLY your family and relations without considering how it affects other human beings on earth or even in your vicinity and country!
The teachings of Christ are meant for the entire humanity on Earth as those teachings relate to the Laws of God which have been instituted from the beginning of time and which every human has to live under if they wish to survive and flourish on Earth.
What are those Laws? What you sow, you reap; Balance in Giving & Receiving, Do unto others as you wish them do unto You, etc…..they are also summarised in the Ten Commandments once given through Moses…. which also apply to the entire humankind.
The Sun shines everyday and provides you with what you need to survive, the trees bear fruit and the soil produces food when you till and water the ground….what do ALL THOSE THINGS have to do with bloodline of Jacob?
Wake up, my friend. Give Gratitude & Glory to the Almighty Creator for sending His Son as Redeemer to humankind! cool cool

I feel you do not understand his words and parables.
But to make it easy for you, let me show you more of his words so you can put the two together and understand.
John 17. 20- 23 (He came for everyone who believes in the words of his apostles)
20 Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word;

21 That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.

22 And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one:

23 I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.

John 3.16 (Jesus Christ was sent for the world, not just the Jews)
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Matthew 28:19 -20 (He commanded his gospel be taught to all)
“Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.”

After His resurrection, Jesus sends His disciples to all nations, not just to Israel. This universal call affirms that salvation through Christ is for the entire world.

John 4:21–23 (To the Samaritan Woman)
“The hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father. ... But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth.”

Speaking to a Samaritan woman (a non-Jew), Jesus says worship will no longer be tied to Jewish tradition or location. He opens the door to spiritual worship for all, regardless of ethnicity.

Mark 11:17 (Christ invites all nations to his temple)
“Is it not written, My house shall be called of all nations the house of prayer? but ye have made it a den of thieves.

Revelation 7:9–10
“After this I looked, and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and before the Lamb. They were wearing white robes and were holding palm branches in their hands.
And they cried out in a loud voice: ‘Salvation belongs to our God, who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb.’

Revelation 14:6
“Then I saw another angel flying in midair, and he had the eternal gospel to proclaim to those who live on the earth — to every nation, tribe, language and people.

I can give you more, but these are enough.

So Jesus is not human? Ok that's new to me. He is now a lamb....the offspring of a sheep. Ok..no wahala, even if he is a lamb and not a human being, the sacrifice still has to be performed by a levitical priest, not Roman soldiers. There are so many problems with this Jesus sacrifice....so many that goes against the laws and commandments of the creator.....

23 Jesus did not answer a word. So his disciples came to him and urged him, “Send her away, for she keeps crying out after us.”

24 He answered, “I was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel.”

25 The woman came and knelt before him. “Lord, help me!” she said.

26 He replied, “It is not right to take the children’s bread and toss it to the dogs.”

27 “Yes it is, Lord,” she said. “Even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their master’s table.”

1. Even moreso when it is clear that your manuscripts are error filled and largely untrue?
Abeg stop typing lies!
It was Jesus that clear used the dog word first for gentiles!
Matthew 15:21-28
21 Leaving that place, Jesus withdrew to the region of Tyre and Sidon. 22 A Canaanite woman from that vicinity came to him, crying out, “Lord, Son of David, have mercy on me! My daughter is demon-possessed and suffering terribly.”

23 Jesus did not answer a word. So his disciples came to him and urged him, “Send her away, for she keeps crying out after us.”

24 He answered, “I was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel.”

25 The woman came and knelt before him. “Lord, help me!” she said.
26 He replied, “It is not right to take the children’s bread and toss it to the dogs.”
27 “Yes it is, Lord,” she said. “Even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their master’s table.
1. Most writings are error filled. It is for that reason that we have editors and proof readers in our day and age to correct many of them before the works go to print. More importantly , that a writing contains what you perceived as errors does not invalidate the claims or perspective of the writer. undecided


2. My mistake! It is very early in the day here. 😔

You are correct that Jesus Christ of Israel is indeed the one who indicated that the Israelites were sheep and the non Israelites were dogs. The Canaanite woman did not argue against the metaphors which He used for each group, something I find very interesting.. undecided

Discuss these verses!

Who are the masters?
Who are the dogs?
Why Israel?

It's so simple for you to understand if you put everything Jesus Christ told you together and not just elevate one verse. The ministry of Jesus Christ began with the Jews hence the Jews were the masters, it then spread to the gentiles.
At first he asked his disciples to preach only to the Jews but later instructed that they preach to all nations. Does this explain it now?

Can God forgive without Blood?

Jesus had to die according to your Bible and its interpreters! Your God needs blood to remit sins!
What are you on about?
I am asking a question, you are using oil to rub my face?

That is not my belief, I am asking him to tell me where he got the idea from? And for your information, Judaism is different from Christianity.....

See ignorance, the oldest church on earth is in Africa. Christianity came to Europe just as it came to Africa, colonial masters has nothing to do with it. So Alenxender, Augustus ceaser, Socrates, etc are myth? Delulu
So because okonkwo Ebubedike of things fall apart, so therefore Ola Rotimi, Cyprian Ekwensi and woke soyinka does not exist? You see your falacy?
Christianity states as the worship of serapis in Africa, when it became the religion of the Romans empire, they had to make it appealing to everyone in the empire ...by incorporating paganism into it as they went along.
