Answer 1

the real "inconvenient truth" is that he did exist, and people love him, despite the best efforts of the powers that be to deny him.

no serious historian disputes he existed.

Answer 2

What do you think? Do you think that you could put any trust in today's religious leaders? And if you know history then you know that the early Popes, Priest, and Bishops, were already milking Christianity for all they could?
The mistake you and a lot of people make is that you associate the Bible with these false prophets.
True they use certain scripture to twist their evil thoughts to milk mans means of life away from him. and they mislead many.
On the assumption that these Religious leaders represent Christianity is why people make the mistakes and form opinions as to personal beliefs.
There are people on earth today that do not misuse their knowledge of secular and bible history to find the truth.
Its important to first remove the Lie's before any understanding of the bible can be accepted as true? In other words remove the traditions of men. For example the world wars come right out of the heart of professed Christianity, the religious leaders rallied the troops, blessed the weapons, waved the flags. But not one of these told the people what James 4:1-4 said?
The Bible is also a history book. and you might be surprised as to what you can learn? Man came to an understanding the earth was round in the 1400's See Isaiah 40:22 written about 732 BCE, or Job 26:10 written about 1473 BCE. So the history book said the earth was round 2700 to 3500 years ago? My only point is that as Abraham Linclon remarked :That some people may think I am foolish, but when I open my mouth I remove all doubt.
I haven't seen the flick? But like all things its the money!!! And as the history book says: The love of money is the root of all evil?

Answer 3

No , I valuable do no longer agree that the Christmas trip replaced into started by skill of the Romans . It replaced into certainly started by skill of the classic Pagans long in the previous Rome replaced into ever familiar , approximately 750 BC. The very early Pagans comupted that the days start up getting longer on the iciness solstice ,so as that they celebrated with events , present giving ,adorning their homes with the sacred evergreen and mistletoe , and a great sort of many candles . the trip replaced into called The return of sunshine . So back , if the Christians stole Christmas from the Romans , the Romans stole it from the plenty in the previous Pagans.

Answer 4

Regarding the quotes from the historian
Josephus about Jesus


Flavius Josephus was a Jewish priest at the time of the Jewish Revolt of A.D. 66. He was captured by the Romans, imprisoned, set free and then retired to Rome where he wrote a history of the Jewish Revolt called the "Jewish War." Later he wrote "Antiquities" as a history of the Jews. It is in Antiquities that he mentions Christ. The mention is called the Testimonium Flavianum (Ant. 18.63-64; see below). Josephus was born in Jerusalem around 37 A.D. He died around the year 101.
The problem with the copies of Antiquities is that they appear to have been rewritten in favor of Jesus as they are very favorable, some say too favorable to have been written by a Jew. Add to this that the Christians were the ones who kept and made the copies of the Josephus documents throughout history and you have a shadow of doubt cast upon the quotes.
However, all is not lost. First of all, there is no proof that such insertions into the text were ever made. They may be authentic. The Testimonium is found in every copy of Jesusphus in existence. Second, Josephus mentions many other biblically relevant occurrences that are not in dispute. This adds validity to the claim that Josephus knew about Jesus and wrote about Him since he also wrote about other New Testament things. Nevertheless, though there may be some Christian insertions into the text, we can still reconstruct what may have been the original writing.
Two researchers (Edwin Yamauchi and John P. Meier)1 have constructed a copy of the Testimonium with the probable insertions in brackets and underlined. The following paragraph is Yamauchi's:

“About this time there lived Jesus, a wise man [if indeed one ought to call him a man.] For he was one who wrought surprising feats and was a teacher of such people as accept the truth gladly. He won over many Jews and many of the Greeks. [He was the Christ.] When Pilate, upon hearing him accused by men of the highest standing amongst us, had condemned him to be crucified, those who had in the first place come to love him did not give up their affection for him. [On the third day he appeared to them restored to life, for the prophets of God had prophesied these and countless other marvelous things about him.] And the tribe of the Christians, so called after him, has still to this day not disappeared.”

Though this may be a correct assessment of the Testimonium, we should note that an Arabic version (10th Century) of the Testimonium (translated into English) is in basic agreement with the existing Josephus account:

"At this time there was a wise man who was called Jesus. And his conduct was good, and he was known to be virtuous. And many people from among the Jews and the other nations became his disciples. Pilate condemned him to be crucified and to die. And those who had become his disciples did not abandon his discipleship. They reported that he had appeared to them after his crucifixion and that he was alive; accordingly, he was perhaps the Messiah concerning whom the prophets have recounted wonders."2
To summarize, the Testimonium Flavianum cannot be so easily dismissed as pure Christian interpolation (insertion into the text). Though it seems probable that interpolation did occur, we cannot be sure what was added. Also, the Arabic version contains very similar information as the Greek one regarding Jesus in His resurrection.
Even if both versions have been tampered with, the core of them both mentions Jesus as a historical figure who was able to perform many surprising feats, was crucified, and that there were followers of Jesus who were still in existence at the time of its writing.


Sorry, but I tend to believe people who lived then over some movie out of Hollywierd.

Answer 5

Jesus actually probably existed, and the film's probably just trying to provoke contoversy. No major historian has ever asserted that the historical Jesus did not exist. He was a real person.

Answer 6

I've found that people can easily bend history the way they want it Just like the DaVinci Code. a book written as a piece of fiction pointed out certain things and people took it as canon. whatever.

Answer 7

you may be surprised to know that about 99% of historians believe in Jesus. Not necessarily that he was the son of God, but believe he was a man on this Earth, preached, and was crucified. Try doing some actual research on the matter...you'll see. (could be better than blindly following a movie trailer)

Answer 8

The odds of evolution actually happening are over 2 BILLION to 1. We do not cover up our ears and shut our eyes - we would miss your come back to to these truthful odds.

Just like the Romans - you too will meet your fate.

Answer 9

I don't deny history. When there's a fact present it. When there's a theory don't try to disguise it as fact.

Couldn't watch your movie, but judging by what the others say that's just my time not wasted.

Answer 10

How can they deny history? Just like this: "Nuh uh!"

Easy. ;-P

If "Historians know this," then I wonder why it isn't more widespread than a single anti-Christian website called "the god movie"....

Answer 11

There is a lot of evidence that He did exist, ever hear of Josephus?
