I did, and it’s already knowledge we know about the early church

A slur for indians pretty sure

What exactly changed, then?

There is The Great Isaiah Scroll from before Jesus which contains prophecies about Jesus

They are still comprehensive documents about Jesus written in the lifetime of His followers

Skimmed through some of these, like this which isn’t even a contradiction.

Even here you can see that it even shows a verse where Jesus drinks the vinegar in two gospels yet claim it’s s contradiction because He didn’t receive the wine.

Where?

The Gospel of John, the latest Gospel, was written between 90-100AD

… The four Gospels?

There aren’t any contradictions between the Gospels

If you compare that with records we have for the likes of Alexander the Great though being 400 years later, it’s not that implausible. And you’d be discounting the Christian Gospels and Paul’s Epistles which were mere decades after Jesus

To be fair, if someone said Jesus never existed, they clearly wouldn’t be Christian 🤣

An interesting thing about what we have now in Christianity though is that it basically spawned as-is in the first century, with the Gospels and Paul’s letters being written decades apart, as well as Church Father’s writings being very consistent. Main differences has been the Roman Catholic Church developing their own doctrine such as Purgatory over time, while the Orthodox and the Protestants tend to reject such developments.

So if it is just a legend, something must have happened to cause a consistent story to develop fairly quickly in comparison to the likes of other legends.

Jesus never led an army or ruled a country, so we cannot have coins bearing His face or remnants of an army, etc. However, there is plenty of physical proof of the early Church. There is evidence of pilgrimages to Bethlehem early on and Jerusalem as well, such as the church of the Holy Sepulchre, which is a plausible candidate for Jesus’ actual tomb.

Here’s a whole video covering the topic

This is why I believe in Jesus

Which episode?

Because the Bible doesn’t mention water Baptism as being a strict requirement for salvation. Such as the thief on the cross. Catholics also hold other unbiblical beliefs such as purgatory, indulgences, masses for the dead, papal infallibility, etc

Another employee, you say? 🦒

Within our lifetimes, God reveals Himself to us. It’s the following of the Holy Spirit which leads us to Jesus. However, it’s next to impossible these days for the vast majority of the world’s population to not hear about Jesus. God knows everyone’s hearts. I think this video explains it well. However, basically everyone who has access to the comment I made and this forum has access to the Gospel. It is very much a free offering. It’s also worth realising that missionary work is also important, and there’s a reason why I want people to have another chance to hear about Jesus
