Since the stories were written decades after the purported life of Jesus, I’m sceptical of them being even remotely accurate. The case is made worse when considering that some of the stories are contradictory and mutually exclusive. When testimonies contradict, we typically doubt their veracity.
Since there’s absolutely no primary historical evidence of Jesus’s existence, I’m sceptical that I’d find anyone fitting his supposed descriptions and actions. It would be a complete shot in the dark—like going back to see if King Arthur were real, or Robin Hood.
All there is is a narrative constructed on the mere “rapid” emergence and existence of Christianity and the claims of the early adherents to Christianity, none of whom were contemporaneous to the supposed Jesus Christ. It actually amazes me how most seemingly serious historians specialising in this period believe in Jesus’s historicity. I can’t help but think there’s a huge systemic social desirability and/or Christian bias within this field. It’s as if almost the entire field of research has attracted Christians looking to confirm what they already believe to be true, or maybe they sell more books this way. But I digress…
If it’s a one-way trip. I’m not going for obvious reasons. I don’t even speak the languages…
If I can return, then let’s suppose I do travel back to ancient Judea two-thousand years ago. It could be difficult to verify a lot of the supposed miracles, even if I were to be there seeing them happen, but I could be convinced. And if I find that Matthew 27:52 happened, then I’m an instant convert.
