Jesus Myth

Jesus of Testimony

February 20, 2014 By ELLIOTT NESCH

An indispensible look at the Jesus of history and the Jesus of the Bible. . . Jesus of Testimony is hands down the best and most comprehensive look at the historical Jesus.

For more information, visit the official Jesus of Testimony page. Did Jesus really exist? If so, what can we know about Him historically? For any Christian, the historicity of Jesus isn’t merely a matter of curiosity. The Christian faith is dependent upon the incarnation, life, death, and resurrection of Jesus as historical reality. But how can we know if the Jesus of the the Gospels is historical or legendary? Jesus of Testimony answers many of the important questions for skeptics as well as Christians in the area of Christian apologetics. [Read more...]

Zeitgeist: “Largest Grassroots Movement”

February 4, 2014 By ELLIOTT NESCH

According to a recent report: “Recognized as the largest grassroots social movement in the world with chapters in over 60 Countries,” (source) the Zeitgeist movement is gaining momentum. Zeitgeist: The Movie was a 2007 documentary-style film by Peter Joseph. It presents a number of conspiracy theory-based ideas, such as the Christ myth theory, conspiracy theories about the 9/11 attacks in 2001, and postulates that bankers manipulate the media and international monetary system. The film has been translated in multiple languages and the Zeitgeist movement has international chapters in over 50 nations.

Below is our film Zeitgeist Refuted Final Cut in which we debunk the claims made by Zeitgeist concerning Christianity. Also below is Zeitgeist, History Rewritten by Chris White in which he talks about the history of the theories presented in Zeitgeist part one and debunks a lot of the new material that has come out after the film’s release.

Did Jesus really exist? If so, what can we know about Him historically? For any Christian, the historicity of Jesus isn’t merely a matter of curiosity. The Christian faith is dependent upon the incarnation, life, death, and resurrection of Jesus as historical reality. But how can we know if the Jesus of the the Gospels is historical or legendary? Jesus of Testimony answers many of the important questions for skeptics as well as Christians in the area of Christian apologetics.

In Part 1: Lord or Legend, the historicity of Jesus Christ is demonstrated by the important non-Christian historical sources that are available to us today. Part 2: Are the Gospels Reliable? examines the historical reliability of the Gospels as eyewitness testimony to the life of Jesus. Part 3: Miracles provides strong evidence that miracles happen today and happened in history. In Part 4: The Testimony of Prophecy, many of the Old Testament messianic prophecies are quoted along with their New Testament fulfillments which establish a solid confirmation of Jesus’ credentials as the Messiah. In Part 5: The Resurrection - Fact or Fiction? the case is presented for the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. Finally, Part 6: The Good News concludes that the portrayal of Jesus in the Gospels, dependent on eyewitness testimony, is more plausible than the alternative hypotheses of its modern detractors and presents the Jesus’ message of the Gospel.

The participants in the film include many of todays top Christian apologists, authors and scholars including Richard Bauckham, Craig Blomberg, Michael Brown, Paul Eddy, Steve Gregg, Gary Habermas, Craig Keener, Mike Licona, Dan Wallace and Ben Witherington III.

Have you or somebody you know been healed from sickness, blindness, deafness or raised from the dead in Jesus’s name? For this film, Jesus of Testimony, we are currently looking for 2-3 testimonies from Christians who have experienced miracles, preferably with medical documentation, who would be willing to be interviewed. Because this project is intended for skeptics and unbelievers, we will be very critical as to whether or not any given miraculous testimony would be worthwhile to include. If so, contact us at [email protected]
