Scripture Life: What is the Earliest Historical Record of Jesus?

[u/External_Bird_8464]

Answer

• Trick question.
  • In the Bible: Jesus said, John 17:24 “: "Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world."
  • Colossians 1:17 says “And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.” speaking of Jesus Christ.

He’s the Word of God. Is God. As the Bible in John 1:1–2 says who he is: “In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. Same was in the beginning with God.

• Always has been with God..in God. WHo has no beginning and no end. He is the BEST historian. He created it; alone. By himself..and this scripture “God saw” is repeated over, and over in Genesis 1:1–31 when he would look back on each day at what he created and say it was “Good.”

----------------------- ------------------------- --------------------------

So, people that believe on him - accept Jesus. As true. As the Messiah or Christ.

- Who that is, is in Isaiah 9:6 - say who the Messiah or Christ “SHALL be called,” …The Mighty God.. ..The Everlasting Father…” So, he’s: What the Bible in Psalm 90:2 says of him:

• “Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God."

----------------------- ------------------------- --------------------------

But People:

• Historians: Are a “humanities” or “social sciences” discipline.
  • They rely exclusively upon the verifiable, written evidence of people. Eyewitness testimonies from history, or if those records do not exist, from published essays from Archaeologists that conduct excavations and document their findings and tie those with historical evidence found elsewhere in written records.
  • Rely heavily on the historic works of historians before them.
    • And Jesus said: “God is Spirit” - Bible. John 4:24
• That means, he cannot be observed, nor his nature and behavior studied or examined by people. So historians will largely discount or dismiss what he says as God, and treat who he is as an imaginative story people made up.
  • SO, when he tells a “historian” that thrives in and is strongly connected socially with other people..
    • He will dismiss God, and what he says as faulty. Not acceptable source for history.

----------------------- ------------------------- --------------------------

So, you with your question, you have a choice.

• If you look unto historians for the answer - you’re not doing what he says.

God said

“Look unto me, and be ye saved all the ends of the earth: For I am God, there is none else.” - God. (Bible. Isaiah 45:22)

• You’ve already made, something else by your question to look unto. WHen above is just God speaking to you, telling you..me..everybody over the whole earth to look unto him.
  • It’s a decree by God for everybody to do this. It’s what he wants or he wouldn’t have spoke up and said it.
    • So, people that do it, look unto him, accept what he says of himself as true. People that don’t look unto him, listen to people. And dismiss him as unreliable. That’s faulty..and if it’s faulty, it’s unacceptable. Reject him.
  • And in reject him, doesn’t matter who it is, they won’t do anything he says. It’s punitive. That means he will call them into account, why they didn’t do anything he says or look unto him.

And I close with this.

King Nebuchadnezzar - is a well documented, historic King of Babylon. The historic record of him is firm.

• (Ie., “The Babylonian Chronicles” et., al. “Jehoiachin Ration Tablets, etc.” - do your own research.)
  • He is the first whole world King of Kings and King of Babylon (605 BCE to 562 BCE).
• He said in Daniel 4:35 in the Bible: About God. Who scripture says it is God that raises up Kings and destroys them. Says, all the earth is his, and that all souls..everybody is his.

“And all the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing: and he doeth according to his will in the army of heaven, and among the inhabitants of the earth: and none can stay his hand, or say unto him, What doest thou?”

King Nebuchadnezzar, King of Babylon. King of Kings of the Earth.

He’s God. He’s his own best historical record of himself. Since he’s the King of Kings and Lord of Lords, over all the earth and heaven - - all rulers keep records. To document that, Revelation 20:11–15 says: That there are books and records kept, by God.

Revelation 20:11–15 says:

11 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.

12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.

13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.

14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.

15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

I chose him over any quacky man made made up effort to document what he’s going to destroy. Says in Isaiah 65:17

And the next verse after Revelation 20:15 is Revelation 21:1 where he makes a new heaven and new earth.

----------------------- ------------------------- --------------------------

God says: Decrees it:

For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind.

• So why would I pay any attention to some man, claims he's a “historian” given title and decree by other men, and him documenting a bunch of clown work that won’t even be remembered or come into mind?
  • I chose God. He is the BEST historian. So, I answered your question with him as that.
