WRONG!!!!

Historians of that period recorded Jesus Existence, and they were not followers of his!!!

The first-century Roman Tacitus, who is considered one of the more accurate historians of the ancient world, mentioned superstitious "Christians " ("named after Christus" which is Latin for Christ), who suffered under Pontius Pilate during the reign of Tiberius. Suetonius, chief secretary to Emperor Hadrian, wrote that there was a man named Chrestus (or Christ) who lived during the first century (Annals 15.44 ).

Julius Africanus quotes the historian Thallus in a discussion of the darkness which followed the crucifixion of Christ (Extant Writings, 1.

Pliny the Younger, in Letters 10:96, recorded early Christian worship practices including the fact that Christians worshiped Jesus as God and were very ethical, and includes a reference to the love feast and Lord’s Supper.

The Babylonian Talmud (Sanhedrin 43a) confirms Jesus' crucifixion on the eve of Passover, and the accusations against Christ of practicing sorcery and encouraging Jewish apostasy.

Lucian of Samosata was a second-century Greek writer who admits that Jesus was worshiped by Christians, introduced new teachings, and was crucified for them. He said that Jesus' teachings included the brotherhood of believers, the importance of conversion, and the importance of denying other gods. Christians lived according to Jesus’ laws, believed themselves immortal, and were characterized by contempt for death, voluntary self-devotion, and renunciation of material goods.

Mara Bar-Serapion confirms that Jesus was thought to be a wise and virtuous man, was considered by many to be the king of Israel, was put to death by the Jews, and lived on in the teachings of his followers.

Then we have all the Gnostic writings (The Gospel of Truth, The Apocryphon of John, The Gospel of Thomas, The Treatise on Resurrection, etc.) that all mention Jesus.

Daybreaker:

Romans 13:1-7 says, "Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God; the powers that be are ordained of God. Whosoever, therefore, resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God; and they that resist shall receive to themselves judgment. For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou, then, not be afraid of the power? Do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same; for he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain; for he is the minister of God, an avenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil. Wherefore, ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath but also for conscience sake. For, for this cause pay ye tribute also; for they are God's ministers, attending continually upon this very thing. Render, therefore, to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honor to whom honor."

I know. This is why I said, not facetiously, that you must study the Torah, if you would like to be accurate on this subject. It would not have been mentioned as such in The Book Of Acts, nor necessarily anyplace else in the B'rit Hadasha (New Testament).
This was before Yisrael had a king. The Holy Temple was akin to the US Treasury, if you will. The Levites were the priestly tribe. In other words, the administrators of all governmental affairs. Citizens of Yisrael were instructed by YHWH through the priests to provide for the government, which would in turn provide for the needy.
I am not preparred to give a lesson on Torah at the moment, but I'll furnish a few examples.

The inescapable 10% flat tax:
V'yakra (Leviticus) 27:30-33
30 " 'A tithe of everything from the land, whether grain from the soil or fruit from the trees, belongs to the LORD; it is holy to the LORD. 31 If a man redeems any of his tithe, he must add a fifth of the value to it. 32 The entire tithe of the herd and flock—every tenth animal that passes under the shepherd's rod—will be holy to the LORD. 33 He must not pick out the good from the bad or make any substitution. If he does make a substitution, both the animal and its substitute become holy and cannot be redeemed.' "

Where the tax was to be kept, so that the sick, old, injured, and needy could have access to it:
Malakhi 3:10
Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house...
(Notice that He did not say, "Keep it safe at your house until you meet someone who needs it.")

An additional tax for the poor from landowners:
V'yakra 23:22
" 'When you reap the harvest of your land, do not reap to the very edges of your field or gather the gleanings of your harvest. Leave them for the poor and the alien. I am the LORD your God.' "

There are many other examples I might give, but as I said, not presently. But the society that was established in the Torah was one in which families worked hard for their own provisions, but also were commanded to provide for those who could not provide for themselves.
BTW, I'm not advocating for a socialist America. I'm simply discussing this subject.

It depends on what you accept as evidence, doesn't it?
The overwhelming majority of secular and religious historians would disagreee with you.

It's even funnier when a poster has to tell lies about another poster to make a point that could never be made if that poster was being truthful.

But that's liberalism for ya......

Why let truth get in the way.
