Comment on With how shitty some Christians are, you really have to wonder if Lucifer or Satan is truly "evil"
Hadriscus@jlai.lu 5 weeks agoI know next to nothing about Christinanity and this little taste had a nice archeological vibe to it. Can I ask you a followup question? What do we know about Jesus’ style? Are the different accounts of his life consistent enough that we can infer a style of expression?

One thing we know about Jesus is that he was very good at using rhetorics. Other than the accounts in several books about him using rhetorical techniques very advanced for the day, there’s also evidence that he was skilled enough to start a religion. But any information finer than that is hard to prove. The books are over a thousand years old, written at different times by different people, followed by several translations, so we can’t know his exact word choice or style of speech with certainty. The closest to the ‘source’ are ancient Greek texts which were likely translated from some other language.

Alright, pretty cool ! thanks !
I’d be curious to know more about his rhetorics, I’ll look this up but if you happen to remember specifically where I can find this, don’t hesitate to let me know. Cheers !
