to Cora,
B, the name Jesus was invented by Justin. Before it was Isu.
You do not have stated specific evidence about that. For sure, there is no Isu or isu inscripted on that ancient Marcionite church building (318-319 CE) in Lebaba (Deir Ali).
The Jesus called Christ is out
Easy to say. Sure the main TF (Ant., Book XVIII) is an interpolation, but I don't see why "the brother of Jesus called christ, whose name is James" (Ant., Book XX) is not authentic: all mythicists attempts to show otherwise are unrealistic.
By the way Josephus could never have written that, because absolutely nobody is called Christ after his death.
Jesus was called Christ because believed to be resurrected, therefore alive again.
At the most you are then a failed messiah and not worth mentioning. Among jews that is.
He was still NOT a failed Messiah (as predicting the day of the Lord happening before the last of Jesus' contemporaries died: Mk 9:1) when the gospels were written (70-100). But if written by Irenaeus, as you claim, he would be a very failed Messiah and Irenaeus would be very stupid to write Mk 9:1 (repeated in gLuke and gMatthew).
Furthermore the Jesus of the gospels did nothing messianic. He was not a messiah at all. Even you must be able to see that.
I think that too. Certainly not as the conqueror of the world, or even the victor of the Romans.
I guess Justin invented that too, by changing chrestos into christos. Easy done.
Your guess is not evidence. Are you implying Marcion's corpus, the only thing you admitted written before Justin, had Chrestos all over? If it the case, there is no evidence for that. And if Marcion had "christos", Justin did not have to change anything.
BTW, Pliny the Younger' letter about Christians has "christianis', "christianus", "christianos" and "christo", but never "chrest ...".
Tacitus in Annals has "Christus" and probably, originally, "Christianos".
These two authors wrote well before Justin's times. So "Christ ..." was used in texts before Justin.
Where do you now get your "real Jesus" from????
From Paul's epistles (50-57), for a start. From gMark (70-71) (but beware of the embellishments and fiction). From Tacitus' Annals
Before shouting speculation again, I suggest that you start reading something.
What "something"?
I am still waiting for an apology.
I find your request rather bold, because you said I was one of the assholes.
Cordially, Bernard
