Here is an example of the resistance and doubt that the faithful encountered;
2 John 1:7 I say this because many deceivers, who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh, have gone out into the world. Any such person is the deceiver and the antichrist.
By the time the Gospel of...
We have the words of anonymous writers of scripture, people merely had to read their scriptures and pass on what they read to others, and that's all that was necessary, there is no need for conspiracy theories of oral traditions and a martyred man to support the scriptures.
The Bible itself, the source for all this conjecture of an historical Jesus, is unreliable. There is no need for sceptics to endorse any particular myth hypothesis, the fact of the matter is that sceptics simply remain sceptical of these historical Jesus claims due to the unreliability of its...

Where have we read that before?
2 John 1:7
I say this because many deceivers, who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh, have gone out into the world. Any such person is the deceiver and the antichrist.
