Stereotype? Fascinating.
Jesus did not have a scribe at his heels recording his sermons about his Good News.
The Teachings of Immanuel Yeshua "Jesus" , were written down hundreds of years later.
Everything you think you know about the real Christ began with the prophecies recorded in the Hebrew scrolls and foretelling the Moshiach.
Centuries later the testimonies of his arrival and ministry were spread by word of mouth. And then long after he was gone,were written down. And long after that various councils convened over many years so to decide what would qualify as the New Testimony,Testament, canon of scriptures.
And those who did this were citizens of the government that ordered Moshiach executed for sedition and blasphemy.
And then they created a universal church in his name that is actually an amalgam of his teachings and the paganism that pre-existed the Savior.
So, your "real Christ" belief is acquired from and through the channels you electively condemn and cast aspersions upon here.
And I very much doubt Christ would approve.
Fascinating? Sure. Wrong? Absolutely.
Let’s unpack the spiritual sleight-of-hand here.
First, the idea that Jesus didn’t have His words recorded until “hundreds of years later” is patently false. The Gospels were written
within decades of Christ’s death and resurrection—by men who walked with Him, lived with Him, and in many cases
died for Him. That’s not myth. That’s testimony sealed in blood.
The Apostle Paul’s letters were circulating
within 15–25 years after the resurrection. The Gospel of Mark likely dates to the 60s A.D.—when many witnesses were still alive. Luke, the most meticulous historian of the bunch,
explicitly says he compiled eyewitness accounts (Luke 1:1–4). John’s Gospel was written by the “disciple whom Jesus loved”—not some Roman scribe centuries later.
Second, your romanticized vision of the “Hebrew scrolls” as pure while the New Testament is some corrupted Roman product is pure
Gnostic mythology. Jesus
quoted the Hebrew Scriptures constantly—but He also said:
“Heaven and earth will pass away, but
my words will never pass away.” (Matthew 24:35)
If His words are untrustworthy, then
He lied.
If He lied, He’s not the Messiah.
If He’s not the Messiah,
you have no faith to defend.
Third, yes—some councils later formalized the canon. But they didn’t invent Scripture—they
recognized what was already
universally affirmed by the early church across the known world. That’s historical fact, not conspiracy theory. The same early Christians who were
martyred by Roman emperors weren’t crafting some “universal pagan hybrid religion”—they were
dying for Christ under the very sword of the empire you claim invented Him.
As for your parting accusation—that because I trust Scripture, I’m a hypocrite for rejecting Scofield, Christian Identity, or Zionism?
No. That’s just bad logic.
I trust the
Word of God, not the misleading footnotes, not the councils, and not the empires.
I follow the
Christ who walked, died, and rose—not the one you’ve reduced to vague mysticism and editorial suspicion.
You want to claim Christ? Then submit to His Word.
Not some DIY version cobbled together from Hebrew flavoring and historical suspicion.
He said what He said.
And His apostles were clear:
“All Scripture is God-breathed.” — 2 Timothy 3:16
“We did not follow cleverly invented stories… but were eyewitnesses of His majesty.” — 2 Peter 1:16
“Even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a different gospel—let them be accursed.” — Galatians 1:8
You can doubt the Bible all you want.
I’ll stand on the Rock.
Because the
real Christ doesn’t need to be reconstructed.
He needs to be obeyed.
