What evidence is there that Jesus actually existed?

[Mr. Somebody]

That's exactly what happened.

Cults spread fast. Look at Mormonism and Scientology, one is 100 some odd years old, the other is about 50 years old. It spreads like wildfire.

By definition, everyone is part of a cult of some kind. Be thankful the cult of Christ has taken society to these heights.

Fixed for accuracy.

Nah, the Catholic Churst was already on its away to becoming somewhat established. The Romans just gave them the credibility and force to spread it.

Big surprise, both of them have serious questions about their Authenticity.

Paul's letters are NOT in-dispute......

So Rome one day just decided to pick up the doctrines of a cult from a so called bum they just threw in the bushes and spread it around the planet. Sounds shaky, friend. Especially considering the teachings reached eastern africa before Rome decided to get on board. Dont slander Yeshua with your demonic theories. Its so demonic, friend.

you acting like rome didn't colonize africa from east to west.

 

[Mr. Somebody]

They didnt which is why his teachings were able to blossom in africa prior to them getting on the bandwagon and changing the teachings, demonically.

so rome didn't control egypt?

And that is what they just controlled directly now imagine how far messages can spread through traders and the like.

It wasnt the goverment of Romes intention to make Africa christian during the time you outline here, friend. Obviously, friend, word will spread of a man in Rome dying on a cross and being ressurected some days later along trade routes because obviously, it was a glorious tale. His followers, obviously being run out of rome, spread to a variety of places, Africa included. Rome did not take on christianity until close to 4 centuries after they killed Yeshua. By that time his message had already spread and it wasnt even called Christianity. Them having trade routes in the first century after the death of Christ does not equate to them spreading what became Catholocism RIGHT AFTER THEY HUNG OUR FRIEND JESUS OUT TO DRY. Lets be more logical here and less demonic, friend.

So are you also denying the existence of Paul the apostle and John the Baptist? Because you cant say they were real and deny Jesus Christ existence. There is well documented evidence of these men life, death and impact.

Pretty much all scholars believe he was baptized by John and crucified on the orders of Pontuis Pilate. Everything else they can dispute.

 

[NkrumahWasRight Is Wrong]

At some point people will question if we ever existed. That is all.

Those in power in Rome sure but there were enough Christians in Rome for alot of people to be killed. Christianty started in Rome and is Roman (borrowed from Egypt).

This is mostly true, friend, and yet early Christianity is still ultimately Greco-Roman before anything else. The New Testament was written in Greek before any other language, and most of the early Christian converts were Roman, not Jews. It was that Roman Christian minority that ended up spreading Christianity during those early, pre-Constantine centuries. If not for Paul spreading Christianity to those Romans, we might not even know about it today, since it wasn't very popular and didn't take hold strongly among the Jews, who had many other sects and self-proclaimed messiahs to choose from (the Bible even lists some of these.)

Also note that all these Egyptian and African early Christians were Hellenized- they were brought up in a Greco-Roman culture which had taken root in North Africa and would not know of Christianity if it hadn't spread through that same Greco-Roman culture.

And they are completely justified if there's no evidence of said existence. Just because they happen to be wrong doesn't make the train of thought wrong.
