Jesus and the 12 Apostles are out to eat

Jesus gets the bill

“Why…”

Jesus rubs the bridge of his nose

“Why on Dad’s green earth would somebody order wine?!?”

      Most of whom are religious people deferring to other religious historians who based their conclusions on a few vague accounts from romans and Jewish scholars that weren’t even born at the time.

      Key sentence of any honest article about “historical Jesus”:

      Documentary evidence outside of the New Testament is limited.

      And as any rational person knows, the New Testament is part of a work of fiction based on old folk tales.

        Oh, please do double down on those unsupported claims. I’m sure you’ll be rewarded for the “erudite scholarship” any second now.

          Talking to yourself?

          I’m not making any claims. I’m rejecting claims of announcing absolute truth based on little to no useful evidence.

        According to this scholar: https://nzpod.co.nz/podcast/the-ancients/jesus-of-nazareth

        It is unlikely that his body was ever placed into a tomb. Part of the point of crucifixion was the public nature of the body being on display and those crucified were not given honorable burials by design.

        The academic consensus seems to be that an influential Jewish man referred to as “Cristos” or “Crestos” did exist but that the resurrection and other mystical stuff was of course all embellishment.

        ‘Crestos’ was a apparently a common name for slaves in Judea. I wondered if perhaps the name Christ referred to a man who rose from the slavery caste to threaten the political establishment with revolution. Most of the new testament teachings are obviously political. ‘Life of Brian’ is probably closer to the truth than you’d think.
