Did Jesus Really Exist?
Refuting the Jesus-Myth Hypothesis
Dr. Phil
Fernandes
Cedar Park Church
August
3rd, 2016
Description:
In this lecture, Dr. Fernandes argues that the recent accusation that Jesus never really existed is itself a myth or fairy tale. Fernandes will show that the scholarly consensus, from both Christian historians and non-Christian historians, is that Jesus did in fact exist in the first-century AD and that He died by crucifixion. Internet atheists are losing any appearance of scholarly credibility when they claim that the early church invented Jesus by borrowing material from ancient mythology. Dr. Fernandes will refute the Jesus-myth hypothesis and show it to be mere wishful thinking on the part of historically uninformed atheists.
