Christmas is around the corner… and today we’re diving into a question most people wouldn’t dare ask out loud: Did Jesus really exist?<br /><br />In this explosive episode of Truth Be Told, Tony sits down with historian and author Dr. Richard Carrier — one of the world’s leading experts on the origins of Christianity — to explore the evidence, the myths, and the centuries-old assumptions that shaped Western belief.<br /><br />From Paul’s mysterious letters, to the surprising celestial worldview of the ancient world, to how Christianity may have evolved without a historical Jesus at all… nothing is off-limits.<br />Dr. Carrier breaks down the scholarship, the controversies, the misconceptions, and what modern people should take away from the earliest Christian writings.<br /><br />We also dig into:<br />✨ Why so many cultures invent gods<br />✨ How ancient people imagined the “heavens”<br />✨ Why Christianity today looks nothing like the teachings of Jesus<br />✨ What evidence would convince him a historical Jesus existed<br />✨ And how secular humanism reframes morality and meaning<br /><br />Whether you’re a believer, a skeptic, or somewhere in between, this episode will challenge your assumptions and push you to rethink what you thought you knew about history, faith, and truth. 📌<br /><br />Watch, comment, debate, and keep it respectful.<br />Truth isn’t always comfortable — but it’s always worth exploring.<br /><br />Become a supporter of this podcast: <a href="https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/truth-be-told-paranormal--3589860/support?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=rss">https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/truth-be-told-paranormal--3589860/support</a>.
