Did St Paul believe in Jesus?

[_Abyssinia]

I didn’t watch the video but based on reading what @LateCatholic said in an above comment on this thread, this video is some form of Jesus mythism.

Ask professional historians with expertise in the areas of biblical historicity, ancient Jewish history etc. whether Jesus was a myth. Jesus mythism isn’t taken very seriously in the world of professional historical scholarship.

According to the following link, Professor Graham Stanton, “occupies the chair in New Testament Studies at Cambridge University” and he has said:

Today, nearly all historians, whether Christians or not, accept that Jesus existed and that the gospels contain plenty of valuable evidence which as to be weighed and assessed critically. There is general agreement that, with the possible exception of Paul, we know far more about Jesus of Nazareth than about any first or second century Jewish or pagan religious teacher.

Scholarly opinions on the Jesus Myth

A few people claim to have seen an empty tomb. Later, several people claim to have seen Jesus again. According to the Gospels, there was either one appearance, a few, or none. If You include Acts and 1 Cor, there were more appearances, and up to 500 people may have claim

Most of the word about the Resurrection spread orally by the Apostles and witnesses and only a small amount of that was captured in the New Testament.

Unfortunately, there is no historical corroboration outside of the Gospels for the Resurrection. Most scholars assume that either it did not happen or at the time, Jesus was a very minor figure not worthy of any historical mention

The Jesus movement was a major threat for the stability of the Roman empire, so they captured and destroyed all those things you would accept as historical evidence. This happened during the times of persecution, before Constantine. However, the Gospels are excellent historical resources that the Romans were unable to destroy because of church protection. You are blatantly wrong by saying the Gospels are not historical. What could be more historical than a story written from four different point of view that nevertheless agree on the person of Jesus?

People die for something they BELIEVE to be true, not a lie. All those people you mentioned died for something they believed to be Truth
