  • To clarify, the 2nd century Gnostics believed that Jesus walked the earth in the 1st century, the same as the canonical Gospel writers. the difference is that these Gnostics believed that Jesus had no connection to the God of Israel (whom the termed the demiurge) and that his body was illusionary. Other traditions say that it was just something his spirit possesssed. So nothing like modern Mythicism existed back then.

  • And even after that there were ecclesiastical dissenters manifested as eastern & north African independent churches for centuries afterwords.

  • There has always been "dissent." That was true both before and after the councils. The video itself deals with the very popular theories that Jesus didn't exist, or was a mythical spirit being only, or was copied from pagan deities. The words of the left hand presenter are taken from actual discussions I've had with such theorists. The notion that Jesus didn't exist is not a position in evidence as having existed in the early centuries. thanks for commenting

  • It was not until the 4th century that questions surrounding Jesus/Christ divine/human nature was settled to the satisfaction of certain ruling elites and proclaimed doctrinally 'sound'.

  • On the contrary... Arianism continued to be a powerful force in the Empire for quite some time after Nicea. It's the caricature of history that is often presented, that Christianity was this diversely liberal group that tolerated every viewpoint and suddenly, Constantine stepped in and crushed every position but the one he liked best.

  • the Human 'Jesus' & the 'spirit' being 'Christ' was seen by most 'christion' tendencies as separate initially.

  • based on what, yorubablk3?

see all
