MTG Cites Antisemitic Fable Jews ‘Handed Over’ Jesus To Be Killed - Lemmy.World

I’m Jewish and have been told very angrily that I killed Jesus more than once. It’s fun.

It is perpetually disappointing the extent to which so many people who claim to be Christians fail to understand even the CliffsNotes version of the Gospel.

Jesus’ arrest was probably bound to happen sooner or later though. As noted Biblical scholar Andrew Zaltzman has often pointed out, Pontius Pilate was a law and order administrator, and Jesus was absolutely guilty under the law at the time.

Tbh, Jesus probably didnt exist anyways.

They started writing about him almost 100 years after his supposed death, and AFAIK theres zero proof outside the bible that he existed.

This is patently false and easily disprovable with a cursory google. Please do not spread misinformation.

Prove it instead of casting doubt.

You’re the wrong party here, your search will prove it.

Historical Jesus:

Virtually all scholars of antiquity accept that Jesus was a historical figure, and the idea that Jesus was a mythical figure has been consistently rejected by the scholarly consensus as a fringe theory.

Scholars differ about the beliefs and teachings of Jesus as well as the accuracy of the biblical accounts, with only two events being supported by nearly universal scholarly consensus: Jesus was baptized and Jesus was crucified

Check the talk page on that (and similar) articles. There are some very zealous editors making sure that they come down harder than the sources really support on the “everyone definitely agrees that he exists” side of the argument…
