I do not use LED (yet), but I subbed to this guy for his reviews.

The High Priest's headdress had a crown representing a plant known for it's hallucinogenic properties at which a golden plate covered the forehead. On said golden plate was inscribed sacred characters for the name of God. Josephus: THE ANTIQUITIES OF THE JEWS, BOOK 3, CHAPTER 7 (172-178)...

Since you believe in God, then trust in him.

Some bonds are never broken. R.I.P. Corban

The LORD's brothers did not need to lie to Paul because the OT has the story of Jesus. Even the part where he's hung on a cross, died, exalted by God, and given royal right of access to God's Temple. Zechariah 3:1-9 "1 Then he showed me the high priest Jesus standing before the angel of the...

Since you're not going to engage anyway I broke it down "I got your nose style" (just in case) for others to see. The earliest Christian writings the 7 nonpseudographical Pauline epistles are odd when looked at closely. Paul is adamant that his Gospel is not from humans, but from scripture...

I thought you were saying there's enough evidence for Jesus as is for L Ron Hubbard. I read it wrong.

1) The Gospels/Acts: These are not eyewitness accounts, and show high levels of literary artifice. This is standard in mainstream scholarship. The Epistles: Paul is not a witness yet there's verses scholars point to that show an historical Jesus. But there's odd things that get ignored. The...

Yet you come here and clog up my thread with such an egregious, and fallacious a statement. We have writtings, video, and direct witnesses accounts of L Ron Hubbard. We have neither of these for Jesus. Care to engage with this thread, or continue to loiter, and make fallacious statements?

If you read his book he goes through the evidence, and to get that 33% chance of Jesus existing he's being generous with certain aspects of said evidence. Do you think the chance of 33% represents a "preponderance of evidence" putting aside Carrier's generosity?

You mean Bart Ehrman? Richard Carrier would never say that (just watch one the lectures I linked to).

It's about history, and of those without faith that have certainties of historicity. I give evidence why one should be agnostic on historicity. I show the Gospels as fabrications, and that the earliest Xtian writings have both odd things about them, and give plausible evidence based...

It shows people were making things up which does not answer the overall God question (which there is no evidence of). There's many hands in the Bible, and many were believers even though some were making things up. No evidence of ancient aliens either.

Let me break it down Barney style for you. Mark the first Gospel written has no Lazarus, nor does the second Gospel Matthew. The third Luke has a Lazarus, but it's a character in a parable, and is not raised from the dead. The fourth Gospel John has a Lazarus that's made as if historical, and...

See how blatantly John takes a parable in Luke and reverses the Lazarus theme from "neither will they be convinced even if someone rises from the dead" in Luke to "Many... had seen what Jesus did, believed in him" in John. Also in Luke there's no mention of the sisters having a brother named...

Here's some things to wet your appetite. Note: There's many bad scholarship ideas about Jesus. Here is a representation of confident researchers, but they all do not necessarily agree with each other, and may, or may not hold to radical ideas. Why the Gospels are Myth, Richard Carrier Why...

There's a lot more info. But I trimmed down to the essentials because I'll get "TL;DR because my nipples hurt" bullshit here. Let me know if your interested in some lectures, and interviews with scholars.

Yes, it's a later forgery, but there was many of them. Like one I forget the name, but a woman checked Mary after giving birth to check if she was still a virgin (because that's what one does) and her hands caught fire. Or the Gospel of Peter with a talking dog, and a giant (40+ ft)...

He's talking about the "Infancy Gospel of Thomas" where also Jesus kills a kid. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infancy_Gospel_of_Thomas
