The Real Jesus: Myth #6 (8 of 10)

[evnmck]

i dont understand why john the baptist can say, "here is the lamb of God..." then later in prison ask, "is this the one?"  was he just doubting?

[humanistheart]

Hmm, it would appaer that if john was in prison at the time, he sends a letter to jesus asking if he's the promised one, and then does in prison, he would never have met jesus to baptize him. There's a big contradiction right there.

[SHADYSPAW2]

thanks guys, didn't know i was blessed because i'm not offended by Jesus. p.s. i am a witness gods real. can't wait but i will till he comes back, i miss my father.

[weeks630]

With all these miracles you would think that such events, would have been widely recorded, but they are not ...although everthing else from this period is, even the most mundane, but miracles, the likes of which were never seen before or since? not so much...what a crock.

[jcr4runner]

There are only a few ancient histories from the first century, period.

The few pagan and Jewish histories that exist from this time period record Jesus and some even admit say he performed miracles.

[humanistheart]

@jcr4runner

I note you can't name any. THe best one was josephous and when you eliminate the fradulant entry says virually nothing of jesus. As for you're claim that there were few 'pagan' historians, there were actually dozens in the roman empire, and are well documented. JCR, please do some research before spreading more misinformation.

[jcr4runner]

@humanistheart There are four existing histories of the first century written by people who actually lived in the first century.

1. Plutarch

2. Tacitus

3. Suetonius

4. Josephus

Three of four mention Jesus.

[SHADYSPAW2]

well i guess your not blessed? just offended. god is real.

[lizazoon]

weeks630 If Jesus was such a miracle worker, you can be quite certain the Romans would have dragged him to Rome to perform in the Colisseum.

[Metania01]

miracles still happen

[seph0000]

so some guy wrote that a messiah would come and heal the sick. Then a hundred years pass and noone can perform that trick. Then a guy shows up and says he can do it, supposedly does it, and becomes a legend. I've seen magicians of modern day walk on water, so give a break. I hope David Blaine's next trick is to turn water into wine. *gasp* the second coming y'all! as for the 3rd story, its not a miracle for people to survive on meager amounts of food. Call it faith, no miracles.

[sc0tchlvr]

Miracles do happen all the time. It is a natural course of things if our own ego does not interfere. Jesus was a man who knew this truth. He knew the truth that we are ALL Gods. "Ye are Gods" he proclaimed and reiterrated that statement from our own old testament of law. Yet most of us today stil do not get this message. It was the main core message of what Jesus was teaching. No that he was to be our saviour, but that we are to save ourselves by knowing ourselves as CO-Creator demi-gods.

[fishboi87]

"whoever believe in the son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the son will not see life, for Gods wrath remains on him" -john 3:36

I am THE way, THE truth and THE life and no mans comes to the father but through me." -john 14:6

 thats the core of what jesus taught.

[fishboi87]

also then who are the false christ?

"but that we are to save ourselves by knowing ourselves as CO-Creator demi-gods."

[gatecrashercanada]

"we" cannot save ourselves.

Matthew 16:25

For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me will find it.

Romans 6:23

For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

John 14:6

Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

Jesus is the only way to the Father, the only way to get into heaven, the only way to be saved from eternal hell.

[dapple1000]

I think one issue that people overlook is the supernatural today. More and more proof indicates there is indeed a paranormal (and a demonic) force. The only thing that actually makes a demon leave or release a body is by calling on Jesus' name and using the word of God.

Believe what you will--history is actually fairly clear.

[mysteek29]

Are you serious?

[gatecrashercanada]

if history is clear what's with the "updates"???? is the spoken inspired word, of God and He does not change. Hebrews 13:8

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.

John 6:33

For the bread of God is he who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world."John 6:51

I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever. This bread is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world."

[ween69]

like to hear this from a non bias source.

[joevidrio]

Jesus is God, only God can do miracles, there is only one God.

[aeronnz]

Jesus was a man , and a messenger of GOD , so plz stop beleiving the stories of Miracles , GOD BLESS

[gatecrashercanada]

John 10:30 I (Jesus) and the Father are one."

John 7:21 Jesus said to them, "I did one miracle, and you are all astonished.

- so he does do miracles, sweet

John 10:32 but Jesus said to them, "I have shown you many great miracles from the Father. For which of these do you stone me?"

John 10:25 Jesus answered, "I did tell you, but you do not believe. The miracles I do in my Father's name speak for me,

[mysteek29]

Plane falls out of the sky but 1 person servives...Did god do that ? is that a miracle?

Who made the plane fall if god saved the man but allwed the others to die?

Why can we see none of these false so-called miracles today? Chris Angel can walk on water too. Is he the messiah?

Get outta here...

[draconusrex33]

chris angel is an illusionist ..what would you do if you ran into someone who can do the real thing?

[islamagain]

jesus is a man.. not god!

[antonianouf55]

hi friend,

Jesus is a man...and God!

God bless you

[jc2060]

allah is a fallen angel with goals of destroying the middle east.

[Jitpring]

The "Enlightenment" - like "Higher Criticism" - is another diabolically ironic label. There has only been retrogression, people, not enlightenment. Don't confuse technological development with enlightenment. Reject the myth of progress. For instance, in THE U.S. ALONE, over 1 million (1,200,000), abortions are legally committed EVERY YEAR. Many more examples of disenlightenment could be provided.

[mysteek29]

You dont have to be Scientific to do an abortion.

Enlightenment is just freedom of thought. You can have that when your a Christian or Muslim . You have to damn near hate yourself for every thought you have thats human. Then beg some mystery god to forgive you for the thoughts he allowed you to have. Who told this god to give us the abilty to make mistakes. Why didnt he make us perfect? Religion is a joke that never seems to have a punch line. The real people are making money off you.

[gatecrashercanada]

so freedom of thought is: free from thought. that sounds like a bad way to think....or not to think. as for the mistakes he "allowed" you to have, that is not true. we all choose to do things, it's called free will. if you choose to murder your parents that's your personal choice that you did all on your own. but free will also gives us the choice to love God and to ask for His forgiveness for the choices that we make out of that freewill.

[GodistheHolySpirit]

The bible is full of miracles, Jesus coming into our world,itself was a miracle,

rising from the dead and proclaiming he would be with us literally is a miracle unfolding to this day.When people do not see that life and the whole universe itself is a miracle,then the cannot see that miracles happen every day even in their own lives because they shrug it off as good luck.

[blackiebori]

The real miracle is that Jesus defeated death.......by accepting it!!!

[YoSoyDivina]

"blackiebori" That's all!

1 Corinthians 15

42-So will it be with the resurrection of the dead. The body that is sown is perishable, it is raised imperishable; 43-it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power; 44-it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body.

[yeyo1228]

Scholars "THINK" that these stories where made up. Just another biased opinion derived from complete speculation and extrapolation. We nee to work with what we have.

[krackermilitia]

"... and blessed is he who is not offended by me..." Exactly. There it is in a nutshell.

[Fosome]

The best part of this video is the quote from Matthew about John the Baptizer. He sends his followers to question Jesus if he is the one that is coming, the Messiah? John doesn't know? Really? Come on, really? Mt 3.13-17, Mk 1.9-11, Lk 3.21-22, oh and especially Jn 1.29-34.

Wasn't there a myth about contradictions in the Gospels?

[jcr4runner]

John had been in jail for all of Jesus ministry, and wanted a report of what He had been doing. If he was going to be executed for preaching the truth, he wanted to make sure he hadn't placed his faith in the wrong man.

Nothing shocking here.

[jcr4runner]

It's easy to miss the chronology of Mt. 11:2-6 because this is a flashback to an earlier time than the rest of the events in chapter 11. The purpose is to give the context of Jesus' message about John that follows in v. 7-30.

At this point, John has been dead for some time. He saw no miracles yet had asked for some good news from Jesus.

So Jesus is rebuking the crowd for having no faith even though they HAVE seen great signs and miracles.

[jcr4runner]

If you miss the chronology of the chapter it's easy to have this passage meaning the opposite of what is really Jesus' point.

Jesus is actually extolling John for his ministry and his great faith as a contrast to the crowds' lack of faith.

[Fosome]

(1)When God opens the sky and tells John that Jesus is his beloved son (Mt 3.17), I have trouble believing that John would want to make sure he hadn't misplaced his faith. In every baptism account, John either already knows or is enlightened to the divinity of Jesus, Jesus as the Son of God.

So yes, it is shocking that after Jesus begins his ministry, John grows curious about who Jesus is.

[jcr4runner]

And Jesus' disciples forsook him.

The prophecy was fulfilled, "All of us like sheep have gone astray, Each of us has turned to his own way; But the LORD has caused the iniquity of us all To fall on Him" (Isaiah 53:6).

John was a prophet, but he was a fallible human being like you or I.

[Fosome]

(2)John was being executed because he had spoken up against Herod Antipas (Mt 14.3-4). No where in the Gospels does John get imprisoned because he testified for Jesus, which is what I suppose you mean by "the truth."

[jcr4runner]

He was imprisoned for preaching the Law of God and the need for repentance. John's ministry was as a forerunner to Jesus. He was the greatest prophet in history. But he did not have the full revelation of the New Covenant. This was not given until after Pentecost.

[mmakram]

Wow...why do u find it so hard..The Israelites crossed the red sea on dry land with water on both sides as "Walls"...They had a pillar of light to show them the way at night...nonetheless they have placed their faith in a golden calf...an egyptian idol...the same idol that couldn't protect pharoh.

[preacher4thedeaf]

Like I said to "3lectricchild" No one has proven it does or does not exist. Some have shown there's a lack of evidence that it does, others have attempted to refute that evidence. You have made a very good case. In a descent court room, my guess is that you would definitely get another round. In the end no one will have proven anything. They will merely have shown sufficient or insufficient evidence of what "probably is, or isn't".

[koduckman]

i tell you to rejoice and hear the good news my eyes have seen the holy spirit,no man can tell you any greater truth

[3lectrichild]

the reason i don't believe in miracles is because they defy the laws of physics, my proof behind miracles not existing is years of scientific study by countless scholars and geniuses who's intellects far outweigh your own. your proof of miracles is a single book written hundreds of years ago, how arrogant can you get?

[preacher4thedeaf]

"how arrogant can you get?" I think it's pretty arrogant to believe that since you have shown a lack of evidence, that something exists, you then assume that you have "proven" it doesn't exist. All you have proven is that there is a lack of evidence to support it's, "existence". In many cases I doubt you would ever be able to prove something doesn't exist. Again, you can only prove there is not enough evidence to show that it does exist. Lawyers know this well.

[preacher4thedeaf]

For example: If you were a lawyer and someone testified that a certain thing happened and you wanted to show it didn't, to actually prove it didn't happen would be, just about impossible. It's always easier to show a "lack of evidence" that it DID happen. But, that's ALL you have proven. There's a "lack of evidence" that it did happen. This is one of the first principles real scientists learn.

[Alandjac]

Please educate me more and show me where Jesus states without question "I AM GOD!". Not "I AM" not "I will sit at the right of the father" or anything other than "I AM GOD!". Why the mystery, if he came to be known as God? So more people would doubt and burn in eternal hell?

[Alandjac]

Jesus sent out these twelve after instructing them thus, "Do not go into pagan territory or enter a Samaritan town. Go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. As you go, make this proclamation: 'The kingdom of heaven is at hand.' cure the sick, RAISE THE DEAD, cleanse lepers, drive out demons. Without cost you have received; without cost you are to give.

-Mat 10:5-8

Did the Apostles ever raise any dead men or women as Jesus instructed them to do?

[jcr4runner]

Your question shows a general ignorance of the scriptures:

Acts 9:36-42, Dorcas Raised from the Dead

This is typical of the average skeptic. You've read a lot of books "refuting" the Bible and claiming to show "contradictions" (these false claims are legion) but you haven't read the Book itself!

[Alandjac]

One of the reasons you give for believing Jesus to be god is that he raised the dead. However, Peter, who is not God did the same thing. If you say Jesus (God) gave him the authority without making him God, couldn't the same be said about Jesus' abilities? Again one of your reasons for believing Jesus to be God has been shot out of the water.

[jcr4runner]

Except for the fact that Jesus claims to be God over and again and Peter does not.

Please don't appear to be so arrogant and condescending as to claim victory on the basis of arguments that are weak.

[Alandjac]

Practice what you preach. Your whole video claims to "prove" the skeptics wrong on the weakest arguments ever given. "I AM GOD!" is claiming to be God. Instead he said "I am alpha and omega" and other riddle-like statements left to very broad interpretation.

[Kabane52]

Jesus forgave sins. This is a thing only God can do. "Before Abraham was, I am" This is NOT open to broad interpretation. This is claiming deity. Saying he is the Alpha and the Omega is also a claim to deity. It is a title Yahweh had. Furthermore, he calls himself the son of man. This is an allusion to Daniel 7, where it describes "one like a son of man" being worshiped. Who is the only one worshiped?

[MntrTodd]

That's the spirit. There aren't any contradictions in the Bible, it's just these dumb dumb skeptics taking everything out of context. Just keep repeating that to yourself.
