Is Jesus a Copy of Pagan gods? The Historical Odds | Part 3

One of the primary arguments a prominent Jewish counter-missionary gave us for why we should leave Messianic Judaism is that Jesus was a copy of pagan myths and never existed as a historical figure. In this final video of the three-part series, we show why this argument is historically implausible based on what our sources tell us about first-century Jewish views of paganism and the fact that the early Jesus movement was a sect within Judaism.  To support our work in responding to counter-missionaries,you can visit https://www.twomessianicjews.com/donateYou can also listen on our YouTube ChannelFollow us on Social Media:FacebookInstagramTranslations:  The Wisdom of Solomon – NRSV 1 Maccabees – NRSV Tacitus, Histories – https://penelope.uchicago.edu/Thayer/E/Roman/Texts/Tacitus/Histories/5A*.htmlJosephus, Antiquities of the Jews – William Whiston (1987)  Dr. Isaac Oliver's dissertation - Torah Praxis after 70 C.E.: Reading Matthew and Luke-Acts as Jewish Texts Recommended videos:Is Jesus a Copy of Pagan gods?
