Yeah, that's exactly what people in the Middle East looked like a couple thousand years ago. Spot on. Please stop with all the accuracy.
The most important Bible verse is the one that tells you how to get into heaven. 1 Corinthians 15:1-8 1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. 3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: 5 And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: 6 After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. 7 After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. 8 And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time.
Lets think about cause and effect for a moment. If humans, animals are doing the right thing, there's harmony, balance, functionality. If humans, animals, machinery are doing the wrong thing, well stuff goes out of whack, out of kilter, there's dysfunctionality. The societies of Israel and America are a good example of dysfunction. Guess where the problem stems from? Humans are lying bastards but you trust the bible to be right, getting you to heaven. The truth be with many religious people, once they start down that road they never want to backtrack because it feels like betrayal. Betrayal to what? Betrayal to lying bastards? Religious people don't even want to question their religion because it feels like betrayal to their faith, you can't even question it. Next, for traders, ask this question of yourself, when you trade, how often are you wrong? If we humans are wrong so often, why should your faith beliefs be right?
One of the letters sent by Paul the Apostle to one of the early Greek churches, the First Epistle to the Corinthians, contains one of the earliest Christian creeds referring to post-mortem appearances of Jesus, and expressing the belief that he was raised from the dead, namely 1 Corinthians 15:3–8. Wiki ............. Letters of Paul to the Corinthians, either of two New Testament letters, or epistles, addressed by St. Paul the Apostle to the Christian community that he had founded at Corinth, Greece. The First Letter of Paul to the Corinthians and the Second Letter of Paul to the Corinthians are the seventh and eighth books of the New Testament canon. The First Letter of Paul to the Corinthians, probably written about 53–54 ce at Ephesus, Asia Minor, deals with problems that arose in the early years after Paul’s initial missionary visit (c. 50–51) to Corinth and his establishment there of a Christian community. The letter is valuable for its illuminations both of Paul’s thoughts and of the problems of the early church. Saddened by reports of dissension among the converts of various Apostles, Paul begins his letter with a reminder that all are to be regarded “as servants of Christ and stewards of God’s mysteries” (4:1). Then, while answering questions sent from Corinth, he addresses matters of immorality, marriage and celibacy, the conduct of women, the propriety of eating meat offered to idols, and the worthy reception of the Eucharist. To members of the community quarreling about the nature and distribution of spiritual gifts, Paul replies that jealousy among those working in the Spirit of God is as irrational as jealousy between the eye and the ear: both are essential to the well-being of the body as a whole. Then, in one of the most significant of all Pauline texts (chapter 13), the apostle explains to his fellow Christians that no gift of God—whether it be the gift of tongues, faith that moves mountains, or knowledge of mysteries—has meaning unless it is accompanied by love. He also reaffirms the reality of Christ’s Resurrection—doubted or denied by some—as the very foundation of Christian faith. https://www.britannica.com/topic/The-Letter-of-Paul-to-the-Corinthians .................. So 1 Corinthians written 54 years after birth is the first account written about ressurection. Jesus about 35 years old at death = 20 years after death was first account written about resurrection. "Paul also reaffirms the reality of Christ’s Resurrection—doubted or denied by some—as the very foundation of Christian faith." Even back then, 20 years after death, christians were doubting the story of resurrection. But 2024 years later christians are full blown confident about the resurrection LMAO.
From what I can tell, 1 Corinthians is the first written account of Jesus ever, which is about 20 years after his death and it's written by a christian as against a non christian.
These scholars collectively highlight that the belief in Jesus' divinity evolved over time and was influenced by the theological and cultural context of the early Christian community. 1. John 10:30 - "I and the Father are one." 2. John 8:58 - "Before Abraham was, I am." 3. John 1:1 - "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." 4. John 14:6-11 - "I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." Bart Ehrman: He argues that the explicit claims of divinity found in these verses are more reflective of later theological developments rather than the historical words of Jesus himself. - Geza Vermes: Vermes suggests that Jesus was primarily a charismatic Jewish teacher and healer. The idea of his divinity, according to Vermes, was a later development influenced by Hellenistic and Roman religious ideas. Maurice Casey: Casey emphasizes that Jesus did not see himself as divine. He argues that the earliest followers of Jesus viewed him as a prophet and a messianic figure, not as God. -James D. G. Dunn: Dunn posits that the high Christology seen in these verses represents a theological evolution rather than the historical claims of Jesus. He believes that the earliest Christians did not initially believe in Jesus' divinity in the same way later Christians did. - E. P. Sanders: Sanders believes that Jesus did not explicitly claim to be divine. He argues that the idea of Jesus' divinity developed over time as the early church reflected on his significance, especially in light of his resurrection.
