Listen, I m not saying Christ did not exist, it is a matter of fact that he did. All I am saying is there is a lot of story telling going on in the bible of the NT as well as the OT. And yes even back then , politics were involved.

There seems to be enough evidence to confirm the historicity of Jesus. We can say that there was a Jewish man called Jesus of Nazareth who existed during the Roman Empire.

Anything more than that requires faith.

My point is that we can slay with 100% certainty that by as early as 50AD Christians were worshiping Jesus as God and celebrating his Earthly resurrection. If you want to get into the story telling we can see this happen with the gnostic Gospels that came about after ,200AD. Here we see a major divergence in thought and Jesus starts to do things like sin, marry, talk and walk at birth, kill a child and raise him from the dead etc.
