The Devil is Busy:Biblical scholar Joseph Atwill says Jesus Manufactured by Romans

Self-Professed ‘Bible Scholar’ Makes Explosive Allegation About Jesus That He Believes Could Rock the Christian Faith to Its Core

On Oct. 19, self-professed Biblical scholar Joseph Atwill is planning to make public some very flammable allegations. At a day-long symposium called "Covert Messiah" in London, England, he's set to unveil purported evidence that Roman aristocrats manufactured Jesus Christ - a claim that, if substantiated, would devalue the core of the Christian faith.

The only problem? Most Biblical experts disagree with the scholar's pronouncements.

A press release announcing the purported new evidence claims that Atwill has discovered "ancient confessions" that purportedly prove that Romans invented Jesus Christ in the first century. He has long argued that the faith system was used as a political tool to control the masses -- something he says is still going on today.

"I present my work with some ambivalence, as I do not want to directly cause Christians any harm, but this is important for our culture," he said of the alleged debunk - one that he believes will eventually be universally accepted.

Yes indeed we are inching closer and closer to the return of Christ.

Jud 1:18 How that they told you there should be mockers in the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts.

We've talked about this in another thread. He's no scholar and has no legitimate education in the fields he is critiquing.

The actual scholarly replied are pouring forth and, since he's previously made these claims, showing how ridiculous his points are with brevity and precision.

He is no serious critic. His claims are vapid.

Maybe Atwill never really existed? LOL

Yawn... what is this? 666th in a long list of books discrediting Jesus Christ as God come in the flesh?

Even Bart Ehrman says he is wrong about this proposal.
