Well, excluding the fact that Hellenistic Judaism was a thing, I don't think Jews had clear records on who David's descendants were, so there clearly could've been claimants, or they could've meant that he was the same on a spiritual level or something

Converts to Judaism were very rare.

There is absolutely no reason to suppose Jesus was anything but an ethnic Jew.

Those are all technically possible, but unlikely.

Except King David actually existed:

>The Tel Dan Stele is a broken stele (inscribed stone) discovered in 1993–94 during excavations at Tel Dan in northern Israel. It consists of several fragments making up part of a triumphal inscription in Aramaic, left most probably by Hazael of Aram-Damascus, an important regional figure in the late 9th century BCE. Hazael (or more accurately, the unnamed king) boasts of his victories over the king of Israel and his ally the king of the "House of David" (bytdwd), the first time the name David had been found outside of the Bible.[1]

The story surrounding Jesus is obviously myth but are you denying that he didn't exist as a preacher? That Christianity just sprung out of the ground based on the idea of some preacher that didn't exist? It's accepted historical fact that someone named Jew named Jesus became a travelling preacher and started his own religion.

>>1402555
I wouldn't know about whether it's accepted that he attempted to start his own religion.
The sources for his historicity are doubtworthy and it's definitely possible for such a myth to form around a non-person but Jesus being a historical figure as a foundation for the myth is probably still the most grounded theory.

there is this minor but devoted faction of "jesus mythicists" that will insist on jesus being fully fictional against all reason and evidence. there is no point in arguing with them, they just have an intense emotional need to see christianity as a malicious conspiracy and themselves as victims of it. so "there was this fringe jew mystic that inspired a cult", despite being the most sensible explanation, is unacceptable to them.

there was a hilarious book a few years ago about how christianity was this elaborate roman psychological warfare offensive to pacify rebellious jews. the romans wrote the new testament and filled it with secret hints about how it's all fake, you just need to know how to decode their secret communications! kinda like the beatles.
>>
>>1402787
>I wouldn't know about whether it's accepted that he attempted to start his own religion.

modern historical analysis usually sees jesus of nazareth as a doomsday prophet that expected the end of the world (or rather, a grand divine transformation of the world) to happen soon, certainly within the lifetimes of the apostles, possibly within months/weeks/days (remember that bit about not bothering to bury the dead?). so it's fairly unlikely that he would have long-term plans for an organized religion. roman catholicism famously legitimizes papal supremacy with that one time jesus made a greek pun but realistically he would not be musing on future church hierarchy if he expected imminent eschaton.

>The sources for his historicity are doubtworthy and it's definitely possible for such a myth to form around a non-person but Jesus being a historical figure as a foundation for the myth is probably still the most grounded theory.

basically you have multiple christian sources (which analysis shows are independently written by authors with limited or no contact with each other, so they're not just copies of one text) plus non-christian sources like josephus referring to a dude named jesus of nazareth, a fringe jewish religious figure executed by romans. the simplest explanation for why numerous authors from the period mention a dude named jesus is because there really was a dude named jesus. if you want to introduce a more complicated explanation (i.e. a conspiracy to invent a fictional character and pass him off as real, some weird misunderstanding etc), you need some serious evidence to back that up, and no such evidence has ever been presented. therefore a reasonable historian will stick to the simple "there really was a dude named jesus" explanation. notably this only applies to the basic facts (a jew named jesus of nazareth preached and got executed) and the rest of the new testament remains hugely unreliable as a historical document.

Not necessarily. Theres no reason why someone indigenous to the Levant can't look like that if there are Greek men who look like that
>>
>>1402915
Which christian sources are you refering to?
The various first century sources can hardly be considered completely independent from one another, especially given the nature of the synoptic gospels.

Tacitus and Josephus have their own score of problems even if they are non-christian sources.

The simplest explanation, being that there was a foundational figure that actually existed, is probably still the best one regardless simply due to the conservative amount of assumptions needed.

How to put this...The histrionically poor populations in the mid east are a touch lighter skinned then the rich populations. A lot of rich guys from good families (other then in say Syrian, more on that) are rather dark skinned when compared with other people in the area. Why is that?


Starting in the late 8th century trade in east African slaves in the mid east was very big. Female slaves were mostly used as concubines for rich guys. Naturally poor people did not really do that.

Alawites were for a very long time one of the out groups in the area. They only became powerful after the slave trade was over and done. I think that they are a good example of what earlier people in the area looked like in that region.

dude that ship sailed a long time ago. 300 years after christ his church became a roman institution that legitimized imperial power and justified brutal campaigns of foreign conquest. honestly even paul of tarsus, in the decades after jesus, was already reversing christ's actual teachings (ie. good christians need to work hard instead of christ's "abandon everything" policy). the church diverged from christ's actual views almost immediately.

This is especially true in the case of this supposed picture of what Jesus would have looked like because he looks extremely Arab, almost as if the "experts" that created the image just compiled modern day Palestinian faces. The problem with that is that Arabs were not in that region at the time, and there's no reason to think the inhabitants of the Mediterranean as they exist today are any indication of how they looked 2000 years ago, especially considering the recorded history of the very large number of invasions or settlements by a large number of people throughout the region.

Take the man in OP's pic

Take away the retarded wide eyed look, close the mouth and give him hair and beard in the style Jesus is usually depicted, and bam he'll fit right it in with how Jesus is usually depicted, albeit a shade darker which is likely correct.

OP's pic is actually a facial reconstruction of some random Palestinian man and you cannot reconstruct skin color, you can only guess. So he might as well have had the same color as your picture.

You can justify this genetically I suppose since southern Europeans tend to be closer genetically to Mid East than Northern Europe, just know that they're not white by the conventional meaning of the word.

Long hair was pretty rare to see on men in that period. The long haired Jesus meme comes from the mistaken impression that he was a Nazarite (as opposed to a Nazarene), who had to take a vow not to cut their hair or drink alcohol, among other things.

It also says nothing about skin or eye pigment, and it's very possible those skulls belonged to different ethnic groups or people not indigenous to the region.
There are just way too many possible issues with this to claim that it's at all reliable in depicting what an average semite in the region at that time would have looked like, much less what Jesus himself looked like.

Tacitus and Josephus are typically brought up as arguments for his existence.
They're not necessarily without a doubt, especially since they don't give sources among other issues, but they at least establish Jesus' existence in the 1st and early 2nd century as non-christian sources.

However I don't think that a December 25th birth is supported by anything and is most probably a later invention tacked on to the myth.

there's nothing wrong with depicting him differently tho. in europe, there's white jesus, in asia, there's asian jesus, etc. etc.

I think the importance of Jesus is really as a self-insert, so it is really most proper for everyone to essentially depict Jesus looking like they do. His actual, historical appearance is of very little (perhaps no) importance.

No I don't have that article anymore, but check out earliest depictions of Yeshu. One was an irreverent Pagan image, the other was first icon in existence Pantocrator.

There is also case of the Shroud of Turin and the Veilf of Veronica - Manoppello Image. Using this you can reconstruct likeness of Iasu in high to modern and more older depictions.

Icons are supposed to depict characters closely to how they looked like their lifetime anyway.

The pic in your first post is a reconstruction of random Galilean from his times...

Olive skinned doesn't mean brown or dark skinned. You can be olive skinned and have relatively dark skin, or very pale skin. Olive skin has a greyish--yellowish-greenish hue. A lot of people are talking about brown people when they say olive skinned, when it really means the color of an italian person.

I postulate that Jesus Christ was actually a myth by the Jews based on the historical figure of Julius Ceasar. Who was well known to be close with Jews and hear their plight.

Ceasar was definately setting himself up to be a god towards the end of his life like Venus and Jupiter, that was sadly never fulfilled for him while he was alive. But I think the Jews held him as a messiah by the time he was dead.

The samples taken have already provided good evidence that the shroud of Turin is a fake. It originated from Italy. The first time it ever showed up was around 1200. If i remember correctly, The shroud was also made with either a technique or a material that would have been extremely rare (or nonexistent) for the time period it was claimed to be created in.

From my understanding, much of the Catholic Church Clergy have also reached a similar verdict, but there has been no formal / public declaration, as it would put the Church in an awkward position.

The Church has been quietly been disposing of thousands of religious "relics" for years.

Your answer: Matthew 22:41-45(NASB)

41Now while the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them a question: 42“What do you think about the Christ, whose son is He?” They said to Him, “The son of David.” 43He said to them, “Then how does David in the Spirit call Him ‘Lord,’ saying,

44‘THE LORD SAID TO MY LORD,
“SIT AT MY RIGHT HAND,
UNTIL I PUT YOUR ENEMIES BENEATH YOUR FEET”’?

45“If David then calls Him ‘Lord,’ how is He his son?” 46No one was able to answer Him a word, nor did anyone dare from that day on to ask Him another question.
