On YouTube there is an excellent (and timely) conversation by a number of professors and experts called History of Christianity; How Christianity was invented by the Julio Claudians including all the famous Caesars, long after the period in which there was supposedly a person called Jesus, who never existed. VERY interesting.

I find some of these things interesting. Bible believers claim prophesy is a big "proof of the bible" events. Wrong. The Gospel writers were not eye witnesses and the writings came later than we first thought. Some even after 70 AD. This meant the destruction of the temple was written about as a fact anf not prophesied the way people had thought before. Also, the NT writers wanted to tie Jesus in with all of this so they chose verses in the OT that often had nothing to do with the claim. The attempt was to make Jesus the Messiah whether he was or not. Some say this was an effort to help control the Jews in that maybe they would not rebel if they thought they could have killed their own Messiah.
Then 300 years later the take on it all was closer to what we have yet today. The problem is, what we have today doesn't make sense. It made more sense the Julio Claudian way. It makes more sense again that preventing uprisings like in 70 AD was the goal. "Two in the bed, one taken and one left" is not a rapture. It's a situation where you get soldiers for a battle.
