Welcome to The Rapid Bull, daily edition, where we provide a quick biblical interpretations and applications.

01:13

This is a ministry of striving for eternity. A common argument that we hear only in the last, say, 40 years, is the argument that Jesus never actually existed.

01:24

He was just a myth. Something that the gospel writers embellished, people later on in the

01:30

Catholic Church made up, whatever the arguments they try to claim, to say that Jesus was never actually a historical figure.

01:39

This is something that, well, it would be laughable if we didn't have to respond to.

01:45

Even Bart Ehrman, who is not a Christian, and spends all of his time trying to criticize

01:51

Christianity, he even argues, in his books, that Jesus, in the original gospels, was never claimed to be

02:00

God, and that the disciples embellished that. And yet he would say, there's more historical evidence for Jesus than any other person in antiquity.

02:12

So what you end up seeing is, we have plenty of evidence. We could look not only at the

02:17

Bible, that is actually a historical document, but we can look at the writings of Josephus and others, historians of the time, that also mention it.

02:28

We see Jesus mentioned in Roman documents. The best argument is, in the time of the writing, we see

02:36

Jesus mentioned in other historical documents, known as the Talmud, the

02:41

Jewish writings. If there was anybody who would not want to identify Jesus as having existed or making him up, it was the

02:48

Jews. So we see lots of historical evidence that Jesus was a historical person. This podcast is part of the
