The season finale for 2022! We wrap up the year with Christian Apologetics making the claim that in Paul's 7 authentic letters he refers to a historical Jesus, having a mother and a father, a brother named James, was killed by the Jews and that there were 500 eye witnesses to his resurrection. Based on the book by Richard Carrier, "On the Historicity of Jesus"

In this episode with cover more of the arguments for the historical Jesus claim in Paul's letters: Being born of a woman, Being born of the seed of David in the lilliness of men, Pontius Pilate sending Jesus to the cross and Paul blaming the Jews for Jesus being killed.

In this episode we continue to examine the arguments that Paul speaks of a historical Jesus in his letters. But when closely examined, it appears that he does not. In Part 1 (Was Paul's Jesus a Space Alien) we discussed his silence about anything earthbound about Jesus and countered to Apologetic excuse that he only dealt with church issues and doctrine. In this episode, we tackle the argument about Jesus was born in the flesh by the seed or sperm of King David. The source for this episode is from Richard Carrier's "On the Historicity of Jesus" and more!

In this episode I attempt to tackle the arguments for a historical Jesus in the Pauline letters. As it stands, Paul's 7 authentic letters are completely devoid of any mentioning of an earthbound Jesus whatsoever. However, there are a few Christian arguments that make the claim that Paul never mentions Jesus's life is because it was already common knowledge and that there was no need to tell his congregations anything about him. But to me, this seems odd and out of place. We will also determine if Paul wrote prior the the gosples which puts the order of the New Testament books in conflict. The sourse material for this episode is provided by Richard Carrier's "On the Historicity of Jesus".

In this episode I breakdown the events that led up to the destruction of the holy city and its temple while making some comparisons to New Testament stories that might be about the war and the people involved

In this episode we will review the epistle of Hebrews that appears to be written as late a 68 during the Jewish-Roman War. How did these early Chrostians understand Jesus and in what capacity? Was he a divine human killed by the Romans at the fault of the Jewish elite or was he thought of as a celestial being who has no beginning and has no end that must die and rise in heaven in order to defeat Satan? (Credit given to Richard Carrier and his book, On the Historicity of Jesus - for further reading)

This is a super important episode as it takes a look at the earliest works of Christian literature starting with Paul with a comparison to what was happening in Rome as well as Judea. I think that this episode will help. Us understand exactly what Paul was responding to and when.

A continuation into the study of Mark's documentary on the Jewish-Roman War of 66-70CE.

This is a review of the Gospel by Mark in comparison to Josephus' Wars of the Jews. We look for parallels and similarities between the two in order to see what this author's agenda was, his audience and what he had hoped to achieve.

This episode is a continuation of finding the paralles between Mark's documentary on the Jewish Wars and the actual events that tool place between 66 and 70 CE (Source Ref: Kimondo's "Gosple of Mark and the War")
