New Testament Challenges
- In Matthew 27:52-53, it says that after Jesus' death, dead people were resurrected and were walking around Jerusalem. Empirically, how could this have happened, and why?
- Miracle stories were crafted AFTER Jesus died, and then included just to make Jesus look like a Jewish wonder working messianic figure. It’s called messianic fiction.
- The New Testament authors were all influenced by pagan religions. Sorry Christians, but Jesus is an unhistorical myth. If you don’t believe me, Google 'Jesus Mithras Osirus Horus'.
- There’s no evidence outside of the Bible that indicates the miracle stories about Jesus are authentic!
- Why does Matthew quote a prophecy about Jesus being a Nazarene (2:23), when such a reference does not actually exist in the Old Testament?
- Why does Matthew apply Hosea 11:1 to Jesus (2:15) when it is obviously referring to Israel?
- If you want to know the truth, read the Gnostic gospels – you’ll then understand why the Christian church repressed them for 1,700 years.
- How can you take the gospels as inspired when they don't even make that claim for themselves?
- The “Gospel of Judas” was originally in the New Testament and was conveniently “exorcised,” if you know what I mean. That was convenient.
- On what basis do Christians accept miracle-stories in the New Testament while rejecting those of other religions?
