Video Description (from Youtube)

What's Up Heathens! Today we are talking about 3 reasons why I am a mythicist. This is part of my Did Jesus Exist series and I plan on doing a full set of videos addressing each of the extra-biblical

sources for Jesus.

The first reason is Philo of Alexandria. Not only does Philo outline the basic idea of a Jewish Messiah, but he actually uses the name, Jesus. Philo is the perfect example of a first century Jewish Historian that was looking for a messiah figure in the Scriptures. He describes this Messiah as the Logos which the Gospel John directly uses. Philo should definitely cause you to doubt the entire premise of Jesus being original.

Next is the scriptures. There are supposedly 353 prophecies of Jesus in the Old Testament. Philo, Paul, and the author of Mark are prime examples of how Jews were looking to the scriptures for information on the Messiah. Paul stresses he never got his info from humans but rather revelation and scriptures. Mark starts off by quoting 'scriptures.'

Finally, The parallels, mirrors, and allusions in the Bible hurt the idea of historicity. The gospel writers were not writing history, they were writing theology. All the miracles in the Bible are allusions to the prophets of the Old Testament. Several of the stories in the Bible are allusions and parallels to the Old Testament stories. Matthew mirrors the birth narrative of Moses with his birth narrative of Jesus. The very death of Jesus is parallel to Abraham and Isaac.

Who are Godless Engineer?
Who was Philo Alexandria? Philo of Alexandria (20 BC - 50 AD), was a Hellenistic Jewish philosopher who lived in Alexandria, in the Roman province of Egypt. Philo used philosophical allegory to harmonize Jewish scripture, mainly the Torah, with Greek philosophy. His allegorical exegesis was important for some Christian Church Fathers, but he had very little reception history within the Rabbinic Judaism. Philo adopted allegorical instead of literal interpretations of the Hebrew Bible.
Who was Philo? Philo of Alexandria (20 BC-50 AD) was a Hellenistic Jewish philosopher who lived in Alexandria, in the Roman province of Egypt. Philo used philosophical allegory to harmonize Jewish scripture, mainly the Torah, with Greek philosophy. His method followed the practices of both Jewish exegesis and Stoic philosophy. His allegorical exegesis was important for some Christian Church Fathers, but he had very little reception history within the Rabbinic Judaism. He adopted allegorical instead of literal interpretations of the Hebrew Bible. Some scholars hold that his concept of the Logos as God's creative principle influenced early Christology.
