FOUNDERS Assertion Not checkable as stated

David Senra Apr 19, 2024 ▶ 7:28 The Life Story of Jesus
FOUNDERS Assertion Not checkable as stated
Jesus actively avoided being labeled a miracle worker or holy magician

David Senra Apr 19, 2024 ▶ 14:50 The Life Story of Jesus
FOUNDERS Assertion Not checkable as stated

David Senra Apr 19, 2024 ▶ 21:36 The Life Story of Jesus
FOUNDERS Insight
Jesus viewed the moral value of wealth as dependent on its use
“Jesus never made the mistake of supposing that poverty made people virtuous, but he was painfully aware that wealth offered endless opportunities for correct, for corruption. Jesus is general point. About wealth is that it all depends on what you do with it.”
David Senra Apr 19, 2024 ▶ 22:54 The Life Story of Jesus
FOUNDERS Assertion Supported

“Paul Johnson says something that's very interesting. He says, there's more agreement in the sources about the death of Jesus than there is about the assassination of Julius Caesar.”
David Senra Apr 19, 2024 ▶ 29:13 The Life Story of Jesus
FOUNDERS What-if
If Jesus appeared today, he would be persecuted and killed
