Why is there no real proof of Jesus existing outside of biblical references?

that lived for 370 years. Would you call this at all reasonable or a myth?
Its stated in the bible as being FACT.

Well, I think most people would say, that living for 370 years, was most likely a myth. And they would probably say the same thing, in regards to him not being solid matter. Just a hunch lol

Finally where getting somewhere.

This is what I’ve been saying all along, in that evidence does exist. And the Gnostic texts, are a big part of the accumulative evidence IMO…

Ok, it’s always been you, and you’re the same poster/entity, but with just 2 different names. One just recently revealed, for reasons unknown…

So no one, else has high jacked your account…Great…

My handle name, which I chose…means…

“God shall increase the fold”

I asked simply; it was 17 years ago and asked about a moniker. I was concidering "Tarzana" and was told in no uncertain terms the name had to be Veteran Human Being. I think 'Blue Resonant Human' had something to do with this (that is another story). The idea behind the name was that I have been encarnated before as 'something' so, at moment of birth in stubborness must accept from day one I am a veteran of the human specie.

Ok, you simply asked…that covers the why part…

But who did you ask, about receiving a moniker…?

This is confusing…I was asking, who gave you the name “Resonant ONE” but now your saying your handle name, was given to you as well…

So who told you, in no uncertain terms, that your name had to be “Veteran Human Being”…?

And assuming it wasn’t the same entity. Who gave you the name “Resonant ONE”…?

That great and terrible time is described as the Day of the Lord and that shall be the day of his return . Joel 2:28-32 In Matthew chapter 24 verse 29 --31 is that time . The point being after the 3 1/2 year Tribulation and before the Wrath .

Are we willing to concede that there is real proof that Pontius Pilate existed? How about Herod Agrippa? Caiaphas? John the Baptist?

You are exercising in futility . Your evidence will never meet their criteria .Bronze plates were found in ruins of a burned out library in Egypt that the inscriptions confirmed the Red Sea Crossing and drowning of the Egyptian army with of course the Egyptian twist as to what happened . The translations were recently revealed to the world . And these same people would deny that evidence also .

Not to mention the quotes from Manetho regarding the Hyksos as well as Osarseph, which have been known since ancient times.

I would call it an exercise in combating the marginalization of criteria for historical authenticity. Now, I realize that my previous post was something of a red herring, but it serves to amplify my point, which is this: The subtext of the question posed in this thread is: is there any evidence for a historical Jesus provided that we reject out of hand any ancient text that mentions him?

What do either of them have to do with the J man?

I like the way SimonPeter is quick to point out that the bronze plates describing the red sea crossing has an "egyption twist".

Segal's law and all that.

They tend to illustrate that there is a double standard in play with respect to the historicity of Jesus.

Are you intending to imply that if there exist conflicting accounts of a purportedly historical event, then this may be taken as evidence that the event in question never occurred?

reply to post by Spectral Norm


The Egyptians admitted that the event did happen and the plagues also but they blame a destroyer planet somewhat like the Sumerians that was to blame for the plagues and the raised plateau in the Red Sea to be uncovered for the Jews to escape and then once again close . They could not acknowledge the God of Moses . This was in a recently released article I saw . Also the biblical researcher Ron Wyatt's team found horse bones and ancient Chariot wheels with gold trim on the bottom in a fragile state and somewhat encrusted with sea life . The event undeniably happened .

Could you possibly link up that release of the translations and bronze plates please.

Not sure what you mean by double standard.

I'm implying that conflicting accounts shows that people are prone to embellishing and that you can't be sure which one, if either, is the truth.

A story using such an event as a backdrop is still fiction.

A double standard is a colloquial English expression, coined, I believe, in the early 1950's, which describes a situation wherein different sets of criteria are applied to similar situations.

Is it your view, then, regarding the Exodus, that something happened, however, since we cannot trust any accounts or sources, we can say no more than that? And if so, are there any accounts of historical events, so-called, that could be considered trustworthy? Or is historiography merely a useless and irrelevant endeavor?

Before I realized I was a telepath, or what the heck I thought I was doing in becoming a human? (Belly LAUGHER and FRESH not rotten tomatoes are allowed). I had no idea but IT was very specific. Websters unabridged describes these individual syllables in my birth name. Everything about your path is hidden your names, given at birth or picked as an identifier; as they are numbers as well holding great meaning.

That would depend on the documentation and what is being claimed.

Honestly, I think it is useless and irrelevant, unless your're a history buff, even if you could get all the facts in order.

That’s an amazing birth name. Reminds of the plains Indians, who would name their children, after their characteristics. Like “Running Tiger”, or “Eagle Eyes”, or “Dances with wolves” etc…

Your three syllables, would produce the following…

Res = A thing… matter

On = position of contact with another object

Ate = past of eat

Or…

Ate = a Greek goddess personifying foolhardy and ruinous impulse…


Good luck, with that last one lol


Not sure what the syllables are meant to signify, when considered separately…

Definition of Resonate…

To continue to produce a loud, clear, deep sound for a long time
To have particular meaning or importance for someone : to affect or appeal to someone in a personal or emotional way

So perhaps you are One, who brings meaning, that is important and will resonate (connect) with others.

Well, there was no voice saying, “in no uncertain terms your name (handle name for ATS) must be “X” etc…

And this may sound ridiculous, but when I chose it, I only found out the meaning of it, later on! (braces for impact, from rotten tomatoes)…so maybe in the grand scheme of things…I did get some help….

I’ll try to keep a straight face on this one. Reading between the lines it seems, to me at least, that you may have received your (ATS) handle name, via telepathic input.

And I gota ask…how did you become human…? And what were you before…?

So there’s numbers in both your names. I can understand why you’ve been given a special birth name, but not so sure as to why you’ve been given a specific handle name, for ATS…?

And how are you deriving these numbers from both your names? I’m curious, because I’d like to find out the mathematical numbers associated with my own handle name, if that’s possible…?

I know what double standard means. I was asking what makes you think one exists in regards to Jesus and, who is the other standard being applied to?

Take, for example, Herod Agrippa. We have hundreds of ancient manuscripts referring to the man, and no one seems to doubt that he existed. We also have hundreds of ancients manuscripts referring to Jesus, but no one, except possibly the Christian faithful, wants to believe that he existed.

We can say more but we should remember that it isn't certain.

What is certain? What are the criteria for certainty? Does there exist any objective foundation for epistemology, particularly with regard to history?

That would depend on the documentation and what is being claimed.

That seems like a clever way of dodging the question I posed.

Honestly, I think it is useless and irrelevant, unless your're a history buff, even if you could get all the facts in order.

Now we come to the heart of the matter, that is, the attitude that there is no point in studying the past because you will never get it right. And if you think you have it right, I will simply reject any evidence you might present on the basis that it is biased and fictionalized. And you are powerless to demonstrate otherwise. I disagree with this viewpoint. I think that the past has much to say to us. But then, why should anyone give a damn what I think?
