Steven Novella is out of his depth on Jesus: Part 2 – The Curious Christian

I'm looking at Steven Novella's view on Jesus, which borders on the Christ-Myth theory. While he's a great scientist, he's simply out of his depth when it comes to history.

Post: If Jesus existed, the story you were given still makes no sense. Let's talk facts. One, The name game. Jesus never existed. The name Jesus didn't exist during his life. The letter J didn't enter the alphabet until the fifteen hundreds. So no one ever said Jesus saved me in ancient Judea. They say his name was Yeshua, but you can't translate names. Mohammad is still Muhammad in any language. Buddha is Buddha, even beyond, say, is Beyonce worldwide. So how did Yeshua become Jesus ? That wasn't translation. That was colonial branding to geography, fabricated. They say he's from Nazareth. But Nazareth wasn't even on Roman maps. Tiny village, barely traceable. Some scholars say it didn't exist yet. And Israel, that wasn't the name of the region back then. Rome renamed Judea. So why is Jesus talking like a politician from the future ? Three contradictions in the text. I was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel, Matthew fifteen, twenty four, Then suddenly go teach all nations, Matthew twenty eight, nineteen. So which is it ? Selective tribal savior or global mission ? And here's where it gets dark that go teach all nations verse, That's what gave birth to Christian missionaries. And guess what missionaries did ? They followed colonizers into Africa, the Americas, Asia, preach salvation, then burned cultures, banned languages, erased, gods stole children stole Land, The Church came first, the army came second. Jesus said, go and they went to colonize For the empires that use the Bible to rule, Let me list them. Rome used Christianity to unify and rule. Britain used the Bible to justify global colonization. America used it for slavery, segregation and manifest destiny. Spain and Portugal used it to conquer the Americas under Catholic banners. France, Belgium and the Dutch used it to rob Africa blind, while calling admissions. Even Islamic empires used religion for conquest. Asian dynasties used Buddhism, Hinduism and Shinto to enforce order. Every major empire used religion as the leash either. Five Bonus, This truth, The US and Britain almost went to war over which Bible version would dominate the world. King James vs. American standard, not oversell, Ovation over who controls belief globally. Final thought, You weren't handed a savior. You were handed a system, a spiritual colonizer wearing a divine mask. You were never meant to think you were meant to obey. Jesus said, Go teach all nations. But the nations weren't uplifted, they were broken. And the Bible. That wasn't your path to God. It was your entry into mental slavery. They didn't translate it for truth, They translated it to take everything from you. Share, believe, inspire, blacks, be.

Steven Novella is out of his depth on Jesus: Part 1 – The Curious Christian

Steven Novella is a great skeptic, but terrible historian. In this series, I dive into his position on the Historical Jesus, and show the where he falls short, while also discussing the idea Jesus didn't exist.
