Did Constantine invent Jesus?

the NT was written over a period of time by various authors but the earliest parts may have been about 30 to 60 years after jesus death

google "q" document

Constantine didnt invent Jesus but there are strong suggestions that he used the religion as a binding force to hold a disunited Eastern Roman Empire together

You may also like to google Josephus, a jewish historian,. the account of Jopsephus as to the existence of chrst as held by the west ( i.e. catholocism) is dfferent from that preserved through time by the Arabs. So the writtings of Nero may have also undergone some 'doctoring' to reinforce propagandist ideas at some point way back in the past.

in short, then as now politicians twisted things for propaganda purposes

Christianity can be looked at in early 4 stages 1. It was first a movement of people around Jesus and he would speak in Palestine 2. When Jesus died the Apostles didn't think of themselves as "Christians", they still looked at themselves as Jewish and Christianity became a Jewish sect 3. Paul was a prime reason that this sect was spread across the middle east. But this stage was mostly just the spreading of the Good News also called the Great Commission 4. Emperor Nero started persecuting Christians and when Constantine became emperor he turned Christianity in the official religion of Rome ---So who invented Christianity? Well Jesus would have invented it since to be a Christians you believe in the death of Christ

At best it only gives evidence of early Christianity, but not Jesus. However, Tacitus would have used Jesus' name not his religious title “Christos.” Also, Tacitus' reference was not noted by Eusebius or Origen or Clement of Alexandria in the third century. It was probably added in the 1400's (likely in 1468 by Johannes de Spire of Venice), because no mention is made of it in any known text prior to then, but there are many later references.

All reliable evidence points to Jesus being just a myth. There is no reliable evidence that Jesus even existed, and significant evidence that he didn't. The story of Jesus can be shown to be just a myth cobbled together out of prophesy and stories from the Old Testament and previous gods and myths -- created in the 40's and 50's by Paul of Tarsus (who exhibited evidence of epilepsy and had delusions of Christ talking to him), the other apostles, the unknown authors of the gospels in the 70's or later, and many other people. The reliable evidence for this is overwhelming.

Paul and the other epistle writers don't know any biographical details of Jesus' life, or even the time of his earthly existence. They don't refer to Bethlehem, Nazareth, Galilee, Calvary or Golgotha — or any pilgrimages to what should have been holy sites of Jesus' life. They also don't mention any miracles that Jesus was supposed to have worked, his virgin birth, his trial, the empty tomb, his moral teachings, his disciples, or even when he existed. To them Jesus was largely a sky-god, who existed in the spiritual past.

If Jesus had actually existed, Paul would have written about his life, disciples, and teachings. Paul did not write about any of this. Paul wrote (in Romans 16:25-26, Galatians 1:16) that he knew Jesus through revelation, which is another term for fantasy. He also wrote (in Romans 3:7) that he lied to further the glory of God.

If Jesus had actually existed, the gospels would have been written in first person format. Instead, they were written in third person fiction format like a Harry Potter story, with Matthew and Luke extensively plagiarizing from Mark.

If Jesus had actually existed, at least one of the approximately 30 local historians of the first century would have written about him. No historian of the first century (including Josephus) wrote about him or his disciples.

Therefore Jesus didn't exist.

The Jesus story also shows extensive similarities to other myths of the time. Some Christians attributed this to Satan who went back in time and created the religions that "copied" Christianity.

Jesus is worshiped on Sunday because he is a sun god, like Mithra, Zeus/Jupiter, Horus, Attis, Dionysus, Adonis, Tammuz, Hercules, Perseus, Bacchus, Apollo, Helios, and Sol Invictus -- whose birthdays are also on the old winter solstice of December 25, when the sun is “reborn.”

There were more than a dozen other deities and saviors who were resurrected after violent deaths -- Mithra, Osiris/Serapis, Inanna/Ishtar, Horus, Perseus, Bacchus, Attis, Hermes, Adonis, Hercules/Heracles, Tammuz, Asclepius, and Prometheus. Christianity just told the story the best, and managed to get control of the government under Constantine.

Their is some Merritt in what you say, as the Roman Catholic Church has always been for power over the people, as the Pope puts himself between man and God, as with the 'Treaty of Verona', etc.

The bible was taken from a number of other books of dogma, where about fifteen books were not used as it didn't enhance the the church, one such book was the book of Thomas, among others.

So even today we are under 'legal' laws of the Roman Catholic Church, which emanates from London, England, and spreads across our world like a cancer.

Constantine was called Flavius, he was the first Roman emperor since the Flavian dynasty to take the name. The Gospels where written during the time of the Flavian TRINITY.

Tacitus was VERY close to the Flavians.

Christus is a play on words. It is the combination of Christ and Jesus.

Yes , Constantine Invented Jesus , It's is Revelation 13: 13 -18 !!!

No he just exploited him.

Professor Bart D. Ehrman, “Not only do we not have the originals; we don’t have the first copies of the originals. We don’t even have copies of the copies of the originals, or copies of the copies of the copies of the originals. What we have are copies made later – much later. In most instances, they are copies made many centuries later. And these copies all differ from one another at many thousands of places . . . Possibly it is easiest to put it in comparative

terms: there are more differences among our manuscripts than there are words in the New Testament.”

Constantine obviously didn't invent Jesus.

However Tacitus' source was most probably Christians, so he was reporting what Christians thought happened to Christ.

It gives a little information that there could have been a cult of Christianity in the 1stC.

It is certainly not evidence that Jesus was real.

Jesus has always been around.

Genesis 1:26

26 Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals,[a] and over all the creatures that move along the ground.”

Us means more then two. And check this verse out.

John 1:1-3

1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was with God in the beginning. 3 Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.

The Word is Jesus!
