The Official jesus Challenge of The jesus Birther Movement (jBM)

May 26, 2013

What is The Official jesus Challenge?

It is a test that nobody can pass. By failing, ignoring or refusing to take The Official jesus Challenge, the person confronted with it will personally prove that there isn’t any “contemporary or primary evidence” for a historical jesus. It is the first step in critically examining what jesus believers believe is “evidence” for their historical jesus. We start them with a concession that they cannot refuse to make.

The Official jesus Challenge

Please provide the name of ONE single person, along with their authentically written original manuscript that can prove the simple living-human, historical existence of the claimed christian New Testament jesus (the christ of Nazareth) that meets both (A & B) of our 2 simple requirements listed below:

A.) Name a contemporary 1st century person who has been proven to be historical, that lived between the years of 6 B.C.E. - 36 C.E., who was a first-hand eye-witness, who actually saw, met, spoke to, and knew jesus personally.

B.) Provide this person’s original and authentic manuscript that is: secular, non-christian, non-religious, unbiased, non-bible, non-gospel, and non-scripture writing, that is directly about jesus, with references/citations to prove that this person actually wrote the work in question. The writing has to be independently and Scientifically radiocarbon dated between the years of 6 B.C.E. - 53 C.E. Additional religious or christian writings that can’t be used: papyri, uncials, minuscules, lectionaries, didache, apocrypha, gnostic, catechism, and pseudepigrapha.

~Why can’t the New Testament be used as evidence?

First, the New Testament is a historical fiction. These writings are biased hearsay, which were written anonymously, on anonymous dates. We don’t have any of the original versions, if any earlier versions ever existed. The oldest versions we have, were written 300+ years after the claimed resurrection. It is proven and admitted to be anonymously altered, on anonymous dates, over 1000 times. The NT contains hundreds of contradictions. It contains many historical, scientific and geographical errors. The contradictory, erroneous, inaccurate and unreliable nature of the NT, makes it inadmissible, impermissible and unacceptable as evidence.

Ironically, even using the bible, a witness cannot be found:

“The four Gospels that eventually made it into the New Testament, for example, are all anonymous, written in the third person about Jesus and his companions. None of them contains a first-person narrative (“One day, when Jesus and I went into Capernaum…”), or claims to be written by an eyewitness or companion of an eyewitness. Why then do we call them Matthew, Mark, Luke and John? Because sometime in the second century, when proto-orthodox Christians recognized the need for apostolic authorities, they attributed these books to apostles (Matthew and John) and close companions of apostles (Mark, the secretary of Peter; and Luke, the travelling companion of Paul). Most scholars today have abandoned these identifications, and recognize that the books were written by otherwise unknown but relatively well-educated Greek-speaking (and writing) Christians during the second half of the first century.” ~Bart Ehrman (”Lost Christianities” 2003)

According to the new testament bible, who actually claimed to have met a historical jesus?

The fact that some transitional fossils are not preserved does not disprove evolution. Evolutionary biologists do not expect that all transitional forms will be found and realize that many species leave no fossils at all. Lots of organisms don’t fossilize well and the environmental conditions for forming good fossils are not that common. So, science actually predicts that for many evolutionary changes there will be gaps in the record.

Also, scientists have found many transitional fossils. For example, there are fossils of transitional organisms between modern birds and their theropod dinosaur ancestors, and between whales and their terrestrial mammal ancestors.

One reason why we have ironically used Bart Ehrman to help prove our case, is that many apologists will try to point out that he is a jesus believer.

Yes, we read his latest book.

Debunking Bart Ehrman’s belief in jesus that he is attempting to call a fact, with his newest book: http://exposingreligionblog.tumblr.com/post/20640153264

Spoiler Alert: Bart fails to supply any real evidence in the whole book!

The character of jesus has become the most famous person in history. The bible claims that there were tens of thousands of witnesses to jesus. Just give us one name and what they wrote that meets both of those 2 simple requirements. It is that simple and we will concede that jesus was a real person instead of a work of fiction. We will even delete this page.

Nobody in the world can defeat this challenge. Almost every single aspect of the jesus story can be proven false or is in serious debate by the leading bible scholars of the world. Christians are the ones that need to “find” their jesus. The truth is that the fiction of jesus has been a grand fraud to obtain: control, power and massive wealth for christian leaders, for over 1700 years.

The history of our challenge:
