Before Jesus, there were other savior figures whose myths inspired religions. These early "savior cults" came into existence long before Jesus is said to have lived.

In this clip, Jesus Seminar fellow and author Robert M. Price (The Incredible Shrinking Son of Man) tells us the excuse early church fathers offered for this very inconvenient fact. Price is a former fundamentalist Christian who, upon investigating his religion in seminary, became convinced that Jesus Christ most likely did not exist at all.

The Christs Before Christ

  • Jesus is the real deal....

    The Old Testament contains at least 334 prophecies of Jesus, all dated at least 400 years before He was born. There are also 27 1st century historical documents that claim that Jesus fulfilled all of these prophecies. There are also the secular writings of Pilate's letters, Josephus, Pliny the Younger, Tacitus, Lucian of Samosta, Seutonious, Tertullian, Thallus, Bar Serapian, Phlegon, the Jewish Talmuds, etc. All of these accounts were written before Constantine in the fourth century. And Jesus was witnessed by 500 following His resurrection. It makes sense that the Jews would have tried to remove the name of Jesus from all of their literature at that time. And that Muslims would call Him a prophet and not savior. But His name lives on....

    To deny absolute truth does not negate absolute truth. One hundred years ago, the U.S. was predominately a Christian nation. Today, it is relative truth that Jesus is a myth or that the Bible is false. WHy is Christianity attacked much more than any other religion? Because it is the "real deal" and Satan knows it.

    • old testimament

      well, it also says la ot of messed up stuff in the old testament like all gays should be killed, raping women is ok, slaves should obey their masters, and so on.........so maybe 1 book isnt the best thing to base everything off of. Coming from a former Christian turned to Non-Dualistic believer

  • no claims needed

    Anyone can claim to be someone or claim to be something, that all proves nothing. When you have an experience in your own life when you really see who you are and who God is and come to the realization that you are separated from him and have the opportunity to let him into your life, that's when you know that God is real. At that exact moment, you will know that Jesus is who he is, not who they say he was, but who he is right now, you must make your decision then, whether to let go of your past and accept what he has done for you and let him take away your sin, or to reject him and deny the shame and guilt that fills you and continue a life of questioning about religion or rules, or who did what when. It is not about religion, it is about what is in your heart. I have never heard of someone who works everyday with AIDS patients because Osiris washed away their sins and gave them the hope of eternal life, have you? I look forward to your comments.

    • good one

      just believe in religion so you won't live life questioning it. That's a good one!! Cause we all know it's wrong to question things because you will live life in torment and burn for eternity if you do.

    • Wrong?

      Wrong to question things? As if everybody has to kill themselves, would u follow them as well? That does not make sense for eternity if there is no questioning to find the real answer. So, if many believe, then its wrong to question? Why being afraid to be burnt in hell jst because askin question?

  • yes sir, that was a good movie

    This is from the movie "The God who doesn't exist." I found it very enlightening and enjoyed every minute of it. I encourage people to investiage the characteristics of folk-lore and mythical saviors that existed before Jesus's time and see what you find. After finding out they are just fairy tales, Christians say, "The devil knew what the characteristics of Jesus were going to be so he made people create these OTHER (Greek) folk-lore characters so you wouldn't believe Jesus is real later in time." I guess the devil is pretty clever because he has me convinced Jesus isn't real. Hell, I just dont believe in any personified energy of the cosmos.
