Dude, this is so low tier. You can literally prompt Chat GPT and see that you're wrong. Idk where you get your atheist talking points from but you need to check the info before regurgitating it. Atheists are liars like their master.
A Jewish historian who wrote Antiquities of the Jews.
Mentions Jesus twice:
The so-called Testimonium Flavianum (Book 18, ch. 3), which describes Jesus as a wise man and teacher, and notes his crucifixion under Pontius Pilate. (Most scholars believe later Christian scribes edited this passage, but a core reference to Jesus is considered authentic.)
Mentions “James, the brother of Jesus who is called Christ” (Book 20, ch. 9). This is widely regarded as authentic.
A Roman historian who wrote Annals (around 116 AD).
Refers to “Christus” who suffered under Pontius Pilate during the reign of Tiberius, and mentions the persecution of Christians under Emperor Nero after the Great Fire of Rome (64 AD).
A Roman historian who wrote The Twelve Caesars.
Mentions disturbances among Jews in Rome during the reign of Claudius, attributed to “Chrestus.” Many scholars think this could be a reference to Christ or early Christians.
A Roman governor who, in a letter to Emperor Trajan (c. 112 AD), described Christians worshipping Christ “as a god” and discussed how he interrogated them.
This makes no sense. "Our spiritual connection to ourselves" is incoherent new age gibberish. It's all circular and self-referential. What if you're delusional? How would you know what is true spirituality and what is false if the only standard is whatever you feel is true? Have you never wholeheartedly believed in something that you later realized was false? This is the same thought pattern troons people use to convince themselves they're the opposite gender.
Believe what you want and suffer the consequences. God created us with free will for a reason. I know very well I won't convince you through reason and argumentation.
What atheist talking points? I'm not atheist. That's the worst trap.
and ya, I gpt too. The texts are not first hand account of Jesus healing people, creating food, etc. there should be lots and lots more.
What is new age? Anything that's not christian? Or would it be enough for me to tell you honestly I don't know anything about new age and never followed and even learned anything about new age. I think that's you too, but you just assume that if someone mentions things that sound like what I said, then it must be new age. It's logical fallacy.
How do you knows what's true? Same as I, faith in your source. I still need faith that the experiences I have with my connection to my soul, the feeling of warmth, love, knowingness, truth, is real. I don't fully understand where it comes from, does that mean it's God? No. Do I consider if it's the devil hiding in disguise, sure. I have tested everything to the next of my ability and found truth more than all my years as devoted Christian.
God, Jesus, religions are too good of tool to self manage populations. You haven't considered that? Every you believe was a set up to manage your region of this prison?
You're moving the goalpost. You said Jesus was not a real historic person and there were no accounts of Him outside of the Bible. I disproved that and now you make the argument to be about miracles.
That's a psychological report and it has nothing to do with whether Christianity is true or false. You are basically presupposing it to be false which is begging the question. I can say the exact same thing about any other belief system like materialism or non-traditional spirituality (which is in fact heavily promoted by the NWO - look up SRI's paper Changing Images of Man or the writings of Aldous and Julian Huxley, H.G Wells and many others; then there's the new age and the hippy movement, burning man, eastern religions and philosophies which align well with their agenda, etc). Anything can be a tool for control. Like for example sex, money or power. Does that mean those are made up too?
I have a coherent worldview that can justify knowledge, reason, truth, meaning, free will, morality, the soul, etc. I'm not sure how any of these concepts makes sense in your wolrdview, what binds them together and gives them universality and yet somehow you're pretty adamant God doesn't exist. Cool, where are those things located then and how do you know they exist? Because you feel like they do? Are they just in your mind? Well maybe all you're feeling are chemical reactions and meaning is an illusion we evolved to believe so that we could live and not fall into nihilism.
Btw I called the "spiritual non-religious" position you take new age because it is a product of the new age movement. I don't mean you hold the same beliefs as other new agers, because as in protestantism (which you were part of), there isn't a unified doctrine of the new age because the point of it is to be individualistic - to conceive of you as god or the ultimate spiritual being (in protestantism it is you as your own pope basically because interpretation of scripture is up to you aka sola scriptura).
But the common ground in the new age is that everyone is on their own spiritual journey and general hostility towards traditional organized religion (mostly Christianity) which is seen as limited/oppressive/controlling/manipulative and stands in the way of the ultimate truth about reality (the tool of control narrative which was made popular since the Enlightenment by jewish, communist and masonic authors who sought to destroy the old Christian world order).
