No one has the slightest physical evidence to support a historical Jesus; no artifacts, dwelling, works of carpentry, or self-written manuscripts. All claims about Jesus derive from writings of other people. There occurs no contemporary Roman record that shows Pontius Pilate executing a man named Jesus. Devastating to historians, there occurs not a single contemporary writing that mentions Jesus. All documents about Jesus got written well after the life of the alleged Jesus from either: unknown authors, people who had never met an earthly Jesus, or from fraudulent, mythical or allegorical writings. Although one can argue that many of these writings come from fraud or interpolations, I will use the information and dates to show that even if these sources did not come from interpolations, they could still not serve as reliable evidence for a historical Jesus, simply because all sources derive from hearsay accounts.

Hearsay means information derived from other people rather than on a witness' own knowledge.

Courts of law do not generally allow hearsay as testimony, and nor does honest modern scholarship. Hearsay provides no proof or good evidence, and therefore, we should dismiss it.

If you do not understand this, imagine yourself confronted with a charge for a crime which you know you did not commit. You feel confident that no one can prove guilt because you know that there exists no evidence whatsoever for the charge against you. Now imagine that you stand present in a court of law that allows hearsay as evidence. When the prosecution presents its case, everyone who takes the stand against you claims that you committed the crime, not as a witness themselves, but solely because other people said so. None of these other people, mind you, ever show up in court, nor can anyone find them.

Hearsay does not work as evidence because we have no way of knowing whether the person lies, or simply bases his or her information on wrongful belief or bias. We know from history about witchcraft trials and kangaroo courts that hearsay provides neither reliable nor fair statements of evidence. We know that mythology can arise out of no good information whatsoever. We live in a world where many people believe in demons, UFOs, ghosts, or monsters, and an innumerable number of fantasies believed as fact taken from nothing but belief and hearsay. It derives from these reasons why hearsay cannot serves as good evidence, and the same reasoning must go against the claims of a historical Jesus or any other historical person.

Authors of ancient history today, of course, can only write from indirect observation in a time far removed from their aim. But a valid historian's own writing gets cited with sources that trace to the subject themselves, or to eyewitnesses and artifacts. For example a historian today who writes about the life of George Washington, of course, can not serve as an eyewitness, but he can provide citations to documents which give personal or eyewitness accounts. None of the historians about Jesus give reliable sources to eyewitnesses, therefore all we have remains as hearsay.

Stop twisting things around!!

Genesis 6:3 and Genesis 11:11 - Life limited to 120 years?
These are two totally separate times, one before the flood and one after and the topic is totally different.

Genesis 32:30 and Exodus 33:20 - Jacob's life was preserved?
The Hebrew word for "face" used in Gen. 32:30 is "paniym." If this Hebrew word is used with a preposition, as it is here, the meaning is changed to imply "the surface or presence" of God or a thing. The person Jacob wrestled with in Gen 32:24 was the pre-incarnate Jesus. This was not God in total splendor, but God in man form in order to wrestle with Jacob.

Exodus 4:22 and Jeremiah 31:9 - Who was God's firstborn?
You are confusing what is happening here. Read it better, This is simply talking about "birthrite" and is showing how the 12 tribes came into being and why Ephraim was chosen by Jacob to receive the firstborn blessing of the Covenant.

Numbers 23:19 and Genesis 6:6-7 - Does God repent or not?
You are getting trivial here! Look at the context of the word repent. In Gensis, it clearly does not mean that God repented for anything. It bears witness that he was upset. Get it straight and stop making things twisted to fit your view.

Samuel 6:23 and 2 Samuel 21:8 - Did Michal have children?
Two possibilities here. First is that the copyist should have had the name "Merab" there instead. More realisitic is that these were adopted sons or reared by Michal. Possibly the sons of her sister Merab. Read the Bible more and look. It does not say that she beared five sons. When you adopt children or rear them, you call them your son/daughter.

Now it's YOUR turn. Explain all the flaws in your Allah and Muhammed. Explain how your Allah was nothing more than a throw away idol that Muhammed took to start your religion. Look here...

By what you have said, I cannot understand where you are leading to, but with all the studies that I have done, within the atrological and astronomical charts that have been worked out, he died at 3:00pm at the age of 35.

This is the workings of the starts and not time as our calender is completely differant from the jewish time calender at that time.

So this is just a point to understand.

3:00pm Holy hour <--- Holy trinity hour
3:00am Witching hour <---- Deamonic trinity hour

Kind Regards
