truthman2012:

Whether you believe it or not, Jesus was once in this world. I'm sure you know the 'BC' and 'AD' that are used for date. Nobody has so far denied them.

He might not be called 'Jesus' in his local dialecht, Aramaic, the truth is that people interprete his name to their native language for ease of pronounciation, I believe.

Since Jesus exists, who came for the sole reason of directing mankind to God, no one will be excusable for unbelief in the existence of God. Again, those places or points where biblical events too place are still there till today.
Good to see you once again brother. May God bless you.

Firstly, the original was "B.C.E" (Before Common Era) and "C.E" (Common Era). Roman Catholic Church, being the religious world power then, introduced their georgian calendar and then "B.C" (Before Christ) and "A.D" (Anno Domini, latin for "In the year of our Lord".)

Furthermore, I hope you're well aware that Bible scholars even speculate that Jesus wasn't born exactly in 1AD (some range it between 7BC and 4BC, do your research).

Nonetheless, I don't see how the existence of Jesus proves the existence of a God, perhaps Buddha, Allah, Zeus, Brahman, e.t.c actually also the True Existing God(s) for the same reason as well, don't you think?

What are you saying? if your name is "Jeff" and i call you "Henry", are they the same?

For ease of pronunciation, "Yeshua" is closest to "Joshua" in the English language.

this is a researcher!!.. Black brainwashed people don't know that who so ever rules the world. Changes the history.. All man are not equal because some jewish elite Are ruling .and changing the. game . That's part of the reason why world war 2 came up cos they could not afford to see Germany become the most powerful nation on earth..cos they know he will topple them.. The asians to know about this inequalities.. They also have their. Calendar .. That's why asians defend , protect their culture cos they know that infiltration of this western doctrines will destroy them as a nation Blacks are just the butt of joke.. We see nothing wrong and carry everything for head that is given to us ..so far its a white person its okay.. Today u see them sing father abraham has many sons..a lot don't even know the brave noble ancestors in their line..and are not even interested.. Blacks don't read and ask question to know that there are also god men that have existed on earth .. The likes of horus..he is a similar character like jesus to mentuon a few.. This saw dust brain non thinking people don't think at all.. It pains me but I have t o put it that way.. Where does a black man stands in the history and sand of time.. Its as if we seek to be adopted..shame

Joshua or Yeshua means Jesus.

When you call Jesus, the owner of the name, even demons know who you are referring to. That is the reason miracles happen only in Jesus name and not in any other's name. I have cast out demons in Jesus name on several occassions.

Gbam!!!!!

But wait ooh,

it's not just "closest to"

"Jesus" is the same as "Joshua" in terms of Hebrew-Greek Semantics.

In the Greek Septuagint, the Book of Joshua is writter as "IHSOUS" (the exact Greek for "Jesus"wink

*Jesus/Joshua (English) = Yeshua/Yehoshua (Hebrew) = Ihsous (Greek), meaning = Yahweh Saves.

Just as,

*Messiah/Christ (English) = Meshyach (Hebrew) = Christus (Greek), meaning= Anointed [One].


The name Jesus is not a "strange name" as I was made to believe when little, it's just a common name like Emeka.

Thus, I see no reason why the existence of one deluded commoner would bolster or prove the existence of an imaginary God..... (@truthman2012 could you please expand your logic a bit?)

nation on earth

I'm dumbfounded by your assertion sir.

Questions arise from this statement you just made:

Who are the 'they' that could not afford to see Germany become powerful?

Would you categorize china, russia and Africa as Jews too?

you stated that ' All man are not equal
because some jewish elite Are ruling .and
changing the. game'
Do you know this was Hitler's belief too and that on the basis of this he labelled the Germans the Aryan race?

Is a raving psychopath, who threatened to kill 6million people in the name of entrenching racist dominance your big fan?

Do you know it is acclaimed that the Vatican at that time was in league with this same Hitler and was instrumental towards his conquest and slaughter?

Pardon me sir! It's either you know little of world war II or you are just bent on exploiting irrationally any avenue to put forth a compelling argument!

BRAVE, NOBLE ANCESTORS!

what made our forefathers brave and noble!?

Many of them prefer to cowar and beg before a deaf, dumb, blind effigy pleading for peace and prosperity!

They'd rather sacrifice VIRGINS, instead of sacrificing themselves like many a western hero in the hall of fame would!

They'd rather stalk strangers and use their body parts for sadistic rituals.

Noble you say, Noble indeed. Do noble people label TWINS an abomination and promptly execute them in honor of the gods!

It appears your definitions of NOBILITY and BRAVERY are quite different from those in the dictionary.

This so called WESTERNS whom you villify sought to end these varieties of MADNESS with the introduction of CHRISTIANITY but unfortunately we still have Africans loyal to their 'NOBLE and BRAVE' forefathers and they carrying on and defend their GARGANTUAM INSANITY in the name of tradition!

well thank u .. Am glad u understand..and I agree with u also.. But the problem is because there has been no reforms and plans regards to the education of the blackman as a tool to collectively free everyone from mental slavery.. This education flows into all sectors of our lives.. But we have had short sighted people leading us.. How much has been invested in education. and when I mean education I mean one customized for the black man, to enable him think ..and be innovative.. Inasmuch as am religious am also a free thinker. Our people don't know what it is to govern.. To solve this thing I propose a part solution that might sound crazy and demonic.. But I know it will achieve results.. We need to study for eg. All the tribes in nigeria, demography..every info needed to implement this plan, after that .. we need to use the same method the slave masters and colonist used.. “ Brainwash” !! Yes brainwash. To bring order and conform people to the way at which we will develop naija and africa ..its essential .. U can ask how if u skeptic

Several Christian writers admit
the belief in earth-born Gods (called Sons of Gods), and their coming into the world by human
birth was prevalent among the heathen long prior to the time of Christ. Hear the proof.
We will first quote St. Justin relative to the prevalence of the belief among the ancient
Greeks and Romans. Addressing them, he says,
“Here is the proof that the tradition of the Son of God coming alto the world, and "the Word becoming flesh," was
established amongst the
ancient Greeks and Romans long prior to the era of Christianity, or the birth of Christ. p. 207 And yet more than a hundred millions of
Christian professors can now be found, who, in their historic ignorance, suppose St. John was the first writer who taught the doctrine of "the Word becoming flesh," and that Jesus Christ was "the first and only begotten Son of God" who ever made his
appearance on earth. How true it is that "ignorance is the mother of devotion" to creeds”.
The story of Jesus as portrayed in the Gospels is revealed to be nearly identical in certain details to that of the earlier
savior-gods Krishna and Horus, et al., who for millennia preceding Christianity held great favor with the people in much the same way as Jesus does today.
Horus was born of the virgin Isis-
Meri on December 25th in a
cave/manger with his birth
being announced by a star in
the East and attended by three
"wise men."
His earthly father was named
"Seb" ("Joseph"wink. Seb is also
known as "Geb": "As Horus the
Elder he...was believed to be
the son of Geb and Nut." --Lewis
Spence, Ancient Egyptian Myths
and Legends, 84.
He was of royal descent.
At age 12, he was a child teacher in the
Temple, and at 30, he was baptized,
having disappeared for 18 years.
Horus was baptized in the river Eridanus
or Iarutana (Jordan) by "Anup the
Baptizer" ("John the Baptist"wink, who was
decapitated.
He had 12 followers and/or fellow gods,
two of whom were his "witnesses" and
were named "Anup" and "Aan" (the two
"Johns"wink.
He performed miracles, exorcised
demons and raised El-Azarus ("El-
Osiris"wink, from the dead.
The Egyptian god walked on water.
His personal epithet was "Iusa," the
"ever-becoming son" of "Ptah," the
"Father." He was thus called "Holy
Child."
Horus was transfigured on the Mount.
The Egyptian god/Osiris was killed,
buried for three days in a tomb, and
resurrected.
Horus, Osiris and/or Ra were called the
"Way, the Truth, the Light," "Messiah,"
"God's Anointed Son," the "Son of Man,"
the "Good Shepherd," the "Lamb of
God," the "Word made flesh," the "Word
of Truth," etc.
The Egyptian god was "the Fisher" and
was associated with the Fish ("Ichthys"wink,
Lamb and Lion.
He came to fulfill the Law.
The Egyptian god/Osiris was called "the
KRST," or "Anointed One."
Like Jesus, "Horus was supposed to reign
one thousand years."

Wow then there is a basis for many religions to be true given that these religions have these reincarnatns as God figures...I stil wondr why folks
haven't started attacking you yet

iamord: Hear the proof.
We will first quote St. Justin relative to the
prevalence of the belief among the ancient
Greeks and Romans. Addressing them, he says,
“Here is the proof that the tradition of the Son
of God coming alto the world, and "the Word
becoming flesh," was
established amongst the
ancient Greeks and Romans long prior to the era
of Christianity, or the birth of Christ. p. 207

But i want to ask! Are these myths real. Was Horus actually a man? If yes, are other mythical figures like Zeus, Hades and Poseidon also men who walked the surface of the earth as legend tells!?

iamord: let me also attend to this your quote in detail.

when I use the term god man I am referring to the people over the sands of time that are known to have followed concept of divine incarnation. Of which jesus is not an exemption. I believe that jesus existed and that he was a god man.. To understand this things u must be religious tolerant and open minded. am also still learning everyday
Several Christian writers admit
the belief in earth-born Gods (called Sons of Gods), and their coming into the world by human
birth was prevalent among the heathen long prior to the time of Christ. Hear the proof.
We will first quote St. Justin relative to the prevalence of the belief among the ancient
Greeks and Romans. Addressing them, he says,
“Here is the proof that the tradition of the Son of God coming alto the world, and "the Word becoming flesh," was
established amongst the
ancient Greeks and Romans long prior to the era of Christianity, or the birth of Christ. p. 207 And yet more than a hundred millions of
Christian professors can now be found, who, in their historic ignorance, suppose St. John was the first writer who taught the doctrine of "the Word becoming flesh," and that Jesus Christ was "the first and only begotten Son of God" who ever made his
appearance on earth. How true it is that "ignorance is the mother of devotion" to creeds”.
The story of Jesus as portrayed in the Gospels is revealed to be nearly identical in certain details to that of the earlier
savior-gods Krishna and Horus, et al., who for millennia preceding Christianity held great favor with the people in much the same way as Jesus does today.
Horus was born of the virgin Isis-
Meri on December 25th in a
cave/manger with his birth
being announced by a star in
the East and attended by three
"wise men."
His earthly father was named
"Seb" ("Joseph"wink. Seb is also
known as "Geb": "As Horus the
Elder he...was believed to be
the son of Geb and Nut." --Lewis
Spence, Ancient Egyptian Myths
and Legends, 84.
He was of royal descent.
At age 12, he was a child teacher in the
Temple, and at 30, he was baptized,
having disappeared for 18 years.
Horus was baptized in the river Eridanus
or Iarutana (Jordan) by "Anup the
Baptizer" ("John the Baptist"wink, who was
decapitated.
He had 12 followers and/or fellow gods,
two of whom were his "witnesses" and
were named "Anup" and "Aan" (the two
"Johns"wink.
He performed miracles, exorcised
demons and raised El-Azarus ("El-
Osiris"wink, from the dead.
The Egyptian god walked on water.
His personal epithet was "Iusa," the
"ever-becoming son" of "Ptah," the
"Father." He was thus called "Holy
Child."
Horus was transfigured on the Mount.
The Egyptian god/Osiris was killed,
buried for three days in a tomb, and
resurrected.
Horus, Osiris and/or Ra were called the
"Way, the Truth, the Light," "Messiah,"
"God's Anointed Son," the "Son of Man,"
the "Good Shepherd," the "Lamb of
God," the "Word made flesh," the "Word
of Truth," etc.
The Egyptian god was "the Fisher" and
was associated with the Fish ("Ichthys"wink,
Lamb and Lion.
He came to fulfill the Law.
The Egyptian god/Osiris was called "the
KRST," or "Anointed One."
Like Jesus, "Horus was supposed to reign
one thousand years."
this is just one .. U can research for yourself.. All things occurrence calls for deep thinking

All these are mythology. Peter said of the Christ;

2Pet. 1:16

No, it was not by following artfully contrived false stories (mythos) that we acquainted YOU with the power and presence of our Lord Jesus Christ, but it was by having become eyewitnesses of his magnificence.

The apostles were aware of this myths, that is why he made it clear that their's weren't such. The historicity of early Christians is not in doubt by sincere people, even Richard Dawkins agreed that Jesus existed.
