- Jesus can be anyone you want him to be.
- Because he never existed. Only his story.
- Gospels were written by men at the time when rebellion against Rome was a popular movement.
- Greeks represented the intelligentsia, the cradle of civisilization, and hence learning, critical thought.
- The Roman emperor, seeing the growing popularity of Christianity, saw it politically wise to adopt Christianity as the official religion, thereby avoiding a mass Christian rebellion.
- It became their official religion.
Cheers!
Who was Jesus?
Why is there no historic archaeological evidence of his existence?
Who wrote the Gospels?
Why were they written in Greek, rather than Hebrew or Aramaic?
How did the Christian religion come to be centered in Rome?
Why were thefirst Christian pope and earliest saints all members of the Flavius Caesar
ruling family?
