logical story of christ

yo, im not religious or anything, and if you are deeply religious and unable to discuss ill warn you that maybe you might not like any different ideas i bring up here. and i am giving it historical legitimacy with what im about to analyse and trying to make it realistic.

so here goes... for the sake of christmas this is a christmas topic really.

i was looking at the story of jesus logically.

he claimed to be son of god... but yet in those days a god was a emperor of rome. not a god how we see it now....
so you see by claiming to be a son of god, its a claim that you are a son of a emperor of rome, and thus you are potentially a title claimant.
this is then likely the real reason behind his execution no?

now lets look at it another way, his birth. mary the virgin, ok there is a theory she got... censored.... by a roman soldier.... now lets take that and say perhaps it wasnt a soldier but a emperor and the soldier takes the blame...   or maybe it was a soldier and mary thought or claimed it was a emperor and told her son jesus that it was a emperor when he grew up.. this questionable birth and questionable father does lend weight to the fact jesus may well have been a illegitimate child, and that the lies and secrecy around it lends weight that it was a important figure.

then you have the emperor at the time of jesus execution. he was tiberius, and he was a adopted son of augustus as augustus had no heir of his own so had to adopt tiberius. you see being a adopted child for the sake of a heir like that is a weak ground for holding power, and so anyone coming along claiming to be any former emperors illigitimate child would have more right to the throne than a adopted heir. so jesus saying he is son of god, and god being a former emperor, that is a direct credible threat to tiberius reign. hence why he had to act on it and execute him in such a way that news spread through the entire empire that the issue is dealt with and that there is no more claimants to threaten the rule of tiberius.

so that all seems very logical and checks out, more so than a magic fantastical story. this seems more realistic and historically factual.... but then, we have to deduce who jesus father was..... was it perhaps augustus? augustus means the exalted and he considered himself to be a god which checks out with jesus claim to be son of god  ... if so that would be the most direct threat to tiberius reign..... 

so yeah, what do you think? more believable and realistic than the bible? although it kinda gets rid of that spiritual aspect that people wanted in it, but is perhaps closer to historic truth and real life.

  • As a traditional Irish Catholic, I’m willing to look at these alternative views on Christ and the Christmas story - I’ve heard it said in the past that many believe the Bible to be the history book of Israel, both the Old Testament and the New Testament and only in recent years since Vatican II in 1962, Catholics were allowed under the code of Canon Law to read the Bible - we know that over the centuries many versions and translations of the Bible were edited and rewritten right up to the present day and there has even been some books of the Bible that were omitted from the “official” version of the Bible that only recently came to light
