“Worse, the word “Christian” cannot be found in Christian literature composed in the first one hundred years after the alleged execution of Jesus. The term is found only in literature of pagan authorship. On almost every occasion the term is used to describe degenerate sects who disturb society by violent, illegal acts. The first pagan author to mention the term was Suetonius. After him it appeared in a letter of an Adrian, composed around the year 117 AD. Spelled “Chrestian,” it again turns up in the work of the disreputable Justin Martyr, between 147 and 161 AD. As we can see, these brief entries do not provide enough information to verify that the term signified the followers of the Biblical Jesus.”

“…Megiddo, Gezer and Hazor and Jerusalem were in reality more like villages...with small public buildings and poorly constructed dwellings with clay floors. The objects reveal a material culture, which, even by the standards of the ancient Near East, could not be judged sophisticated or luxurious. The ‘magnificence’ of the age of Solomon is parochial and decidedly lackluster – Professor James Pritchard (Solomon and Sheba)”

“How do we know that the Gospel story is true? Because it confirms the prophecies of the Old Testament. But how do we know the Old Testament prophecies are true? Because they are confirmed by the Gospel story. Evidence, so called, is bounced back and forth between the testaments like a tennis ball; and no other evidence is given us. The two testaments form a double mirror, each reflecting the other but neither the world outside – Northrop Frye (The Great Code)”

“Matthew lists twenty-eight generations from David to Jesus, while Luke tabulates forty-three. According to John Jesus visited Jerusalem at least four times, but the Synoptics (Mark, Luke and Matthew) assure us that he journeyed to that city only once. As to the length of Jesus’ ministry the Synoptics say one year, but John says at least 3 years. From the Synoptical account, we gather that the savior carried out his work chiefly in Galilee. But John informs us that Judea was the principle theatre of the ministry of Christ – John G. Jackson (Pagan Origins of the Jesus Myth)”
