And none of the disciples were murdered?Feel free to link.Your fantasy only lies in your head. It’s well documented what Pilate said about Jesus, even non Christian historians of the time.Jesus committed no crime against Rome. That’s why he bounced around between Herod and Pilate. None could find blame.Can you identify all the times Jesus defied Roman authorities or violated Roman laws?OK. Let me get this straight.
So some dude named Jesus is a bit of a rabble rouser. Often rails against the local and Roman government.
Then one day he gathers up a gang of a dozen thugs and occupies and violently attacks a market while armed with a scourge. And took the coins.
That's called armed robbery in today's parlance.
Today that could get you several years in prison.
Back then, armed robbery could get you crucified.
His problem with the money changers wasn't about the Temple Tax. It was about shortchanging the poor and the pilgrims to the Temple. They were just cheating the poor.
for a "scholar" such as yourself--SURADIE, your statement is EXCRUTIATINGLY IDIOTIC.
There is EXTENSIVE EVIDENCE that the PHARISEES despised the money changers who were lackeys of the ROMAN APPOINTED SADDUCEAN priests-------try to learn a bit of history. The foray into the temple courtyard nails Jesus for what he was-----a ROME HATING PHARISEE. It was an act of SEDITION AGAINST ROME and had nothing to do with short-changing anyone-------well----at least you did not do the usual sunday school bs ---"da high priests were grabbing taxes from da poor"
try again------he was a fugitive from ROMAN JUSTICE until the Sadducean "HIGH PRIEST" CAIAPHAS handed him over to PONTIUS PILATE. You really want to believe that fairy tale that Pontius washed his hands? You really want to believe that THE JEWS "wanted to kill him"-----but just could not figure out how to do it? "The jews liked" Herod, Pontius Pilate and Caiaphas with equal and reciprocated passion at that time <<<< it is a very suppressed history--------kinda like the suppression of the ongoing body count in the major cities like New York, Portland, Chicago-----etc etc
non-christian historians like Constantine, Paul
and some guy from no-where like "JOHN"----and, of course LUKE. Read some real history.
But I’m referring to Tacitus and Joesephus who lived at the time.
the only references to Jesus in the writing of
JOSEPHUS-----have been determined to be
insertions (tiny little insertions at that) and-----as far as I recall NEVER quoted Pilate. As to Tacitus, his comment SIMPLY confirms the ALREADY widely known belief that Jesus was crucified----ie nothing new or unique. ----no
handwashing history------lots of "Pilate crucified lots pharisees" (Josephus was a
pharisee)
Peter was murdered in Rome
