The Death of (the historical) Jesus

A great article about what I would hope to be the end of an era. From the outrageous “Jesus Seminar” to today, there has been this “quest” for some mythical Jesus. What has happened is we just keep creating Jesus in our own image.

There are “scholars” who just don’t want to believe the Scriptures, so they go off on their own trails, creating an alternative universe.

The author says this:

“I can establish that the tomb was empty and that resurrection is the best explanation for the empty tomb. But one thing the historical method cannot prove is that Jesus died for our sins and was raised for our justification.”

There is an admission that all scholars have done is create a fifth gospel, which isn’t “gospel” at all. There isn’t any good news in this Jesus. Only a portrayal of what we want him to be… in our image.


One response to “The Death of (the historical) Jesus”

  1. Interesting read. for me, by reading the Old testament I get the full picture who Jesus is by studying the character of God. I believe the God of the OT is the same as the God represented through Jesus in the New Testament. There are not different. And if I keep that focus, it will help me and hopefully prevent me from making Christ into my own likeness. Jesus is mercy, grace, forgiveness and love. and also judgement, power and authority.. among other things.
