    In God's Image?

    The attributes of God are all human, even the definition that He is a male God may carry the meaning that He has a male organ if it exists in the first place. I do not know why there is no other female God beside Him, and I do not know what this God did before the existence of galaxies and planets.

    Historical Jesus

    Jesus in Paul's writings did not perform any miracles at all. Paul did not know of any miracles performed by Jesus, as he lived in the same generation as Jesus and those who witnessed him were still alive, so he could not invent any miracles for him. Therefore, his letters were devoid of them...

    Imagine there's no religion.

    Religion played an essential role in providing a comfortable answer to the question of the purpose of existence and in giving meaning to a short, difficult and inevitable life. This answer, although it is an individual need, becomes a collective contract, a desire to make the agreement reached a...

    The Christ Myth Theory

    Philo has obviously demonstrated an in-depth knowledge of the affairs of Judea during the rule of Pilate, and he does mention various executions that took place under Pilate. Interestingly, however, Philo accuses Pilate of being a cruel and bad ruler, yet in the Gospels Pilate is portrayed as a...

    The Christ Myth Theory

    We find a mention of jesus by name in the Talmud in various places as a “son of fornication” and that he was crucified on the night of Easter, and although this talk is against christian belief, we see christians cite it to prove the historicalness of jesus. son of god” and we do not believe the...

    The Christ Myth Theory

    Considering jesus a fictitious person is something that has historical backing, and I mentioned, for example, the number of historians who were contemporary to him or who came immediately after him, and they did not mention his story, even casually.

    You are not here to judge my understanding and belief. We are talking about a specific topic, which is that no contemporary history of jesus has proven that this person exists, do not talk outside the scope of the topic. I mentioned many historians who were present at the time and did not...

    The Christ Myth Theory

    If Jesus actually healed lots of people, why did he do it? If he did it because he cared about them, why did he only heal a very small fraction of the sick people in the world? If he did it in order to demonstrate his power, why did he restrict demonstrating his power to a very small geographic...

    The Christ Myth Theory

    Yet Philo says not a word about jesus, christianity nor any of the events described in the new testament. In all this work, Philo makes not a single reference to his alleged contemporary "jesus christ", the godman who supposedly was perambulating up and down the Levant, exorcising demons...

    For example, there is no reference to the nineteen high priests of the Temple in Jerusalem who held that office in Philo’s lifetime; there’s no mention in Philo of the Pharisees and the Sadducees, or of the other Jewish preachers, prophets, and Messianic claimants of the first century.

    The Christ Myth Theory

    The Gospels mention the eclipse of the sun during the crucifixion of Jesus, referring to "Mark"(15:33-38). This eclipse is not mentioned by any other historical source contemporary to that period, but the Church indicates that it was mentioned by Thallus in the first century AD. It is a text...

    The Christ Myth Theory

    There was more than a contemporary Roman and Jewish historian of that period, and yet none of them said a word, as if they did not know anything about his miraculous birth from a virgin, his teachings that established a world religion, and the story of his crucifixion and then his resurrection...
