Re: Did Jesus exist?
I am in no place to judge you or anyone else, as to if you are of the dark or of the light. Everyone is on their own unique journey and there are many people now that are in complete darkness that will be transformed by Christ. It comes down to who you are at your core. Christ is an eternal being that existed before all creation and all creation was made through and by Christ. Jesus is the human manifestation of Christ.
I agree with you that the Bible is just a book and by no means tells the whole story (although the majority of Christians would disagree with me on this). But the Bible does contain the truth of the Eternal Christ in both the Old and New Testament. It depends on the heart of each person that hears the truth of the Eternal Christ to either accept it or reject it. For me, I already know at my core who Christ is and the life of Jesus is just a confirmation of what I already know. So I have no interest in exploring the possibility that Jesus Christ never lived, but I do understand that people who can only understand things intellectually may be drawn down this path.
As for the possibility that Jesus traveled and studied in other places, that I am open to and would be interested in learning about, if anyone has information about it. The video was very disappointing because I feel like I learned almost nothing on this topic.
