20 posts held, back to 25 July 2026 — the reader has not yet reached the start of this channel’s public history, so older posts may sit further back, unread. Read across 1 page of Telegram’s post history, 20 posts per page.
Nothing published in the last 30 days. ERR and ER are rolling 30-day measures, so there is nothing to compute — we hold 20 posts for this entry, the most recent from 4 August 2026. An engagement rate over an empty window would be a number about nothing.

Thomas, updated on 24.7.26 https://bibleproclaimer.com/q1143-evidence-for-mosaic-authorship-of-the-pentateuch/ 'Authorship of the Pentateuch' by James Rochford https://evidenceunseen.com/authorship-of-the-pentateuch 'Did Moses really write the Pentateuch?' by Anna Kitko, 5.6.19 https://ratiochristi.org/did-moses-really-write-the-pentat…

‘Acharya S is a skeptic with an interest in mythology who has written a book entitled The Christ Conspiracy: The Greatest Story Ever Sold. This book presents an hypothesis of how Christianity came into being. Although it has received no attention from scholarship, with the lone exception of a negative book review and that from an atheist scholar,[1] The Christ Conspiracy has nonetheless gained support from a number o…
‘Although Jesus claimed to be the divine Son of God, His favorite self-designation by far was ‘Son of Man’. How do we know that Jesus actually referred to Himself as the Son of Man and what does it mean?’ Quote from the opening of an article by Mike Licona called "Jesus - The Son Of Man?" https://www.bethinking.org/jesus/jesus-the-son-of-man
‘If Jesus didn’t claim to be divine, then, when his disciples claimed that he was, were they promulgating a deliberate lie about their teacher? That seems highly unlikely: ‘if the story in the Gospels is a myth, if the historical Jesus never claimed divinity . . . then this myth was invented by Jesus’ apostles themselves, not by later generations or the early Christian community. But why would the apostles lie? What…
‘How could the Jewish disciples of a Jewish rabbi so radically misunderstand their teacher’s self-image in so blasphemous a manner? As Craig A. Evans writes: To assert that Jesus did not regard himself as in some sense God’s son makes the historian wonder why others did. From the earliest time “Jesus was regarded by Christians as the son of God. Why not regard him as the great Prophet, if that is all that he had c…
‘In sum, the author and audience of the Epistle of James were early-mid first-century Jewish monotheists who considered Jesus Christ to be their divine Lord. The evidence favors the traditional attribution of authorship to James of Jerusalem, the (half) brother of Jesus. This attribution both makes the high Christology of the letter all the more startling and suggests a publication date before AD 62 (when James was m…
‘In The God Delusion Richard Dawkins acknowledges that “Jesus probably existed . . .”623 Nevertheless, the admission is begrudging. It seems calculated to plant doubt in the uninformed reader’s mind. Dawkins writes that “it is even possible to mount a serious, though not widely supported, historical case that Jesus never lived at all, as has been done by, among others, Professor G.A. Wells of the University of London…
‘Having been content to draw attention to the existence of “historians who doubt the historical existence of Jesus”620 in 2011, Lawrence Krauss conceded in 2013 that Jesus “was a real, historical person.”621 Krauss said: “If you asked me, is the weight of historical evidence such that Jesus was a real historical figure, I would say, the weight of historical evidence is that Jesus was a historical figure . . . I do …
“I don’t think you can take the easy way out by denying that Jesus ever existed . . .” —Michael Ruse [1940-2024] 619 Quote from chapter 2 in ‘Getting at Jesus’ (2019) by Peter S. Williams
Showing the 12 most recent of 20 posts we hold for @Miscellaneous_Illuminations. View and reaction counts are the latest single reading for each post, not a live figure, and a recent post is still accumulating both. A view count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999. Unmarked counts are exact. Text is reproduced from the public post preview and truncated for length.

Channels on the register that have forwarded this channel's posts into their own feed.
Built only from forwarded posts we have actually read, on both sides. Coverage is early and deliberately incomplete: a missing link means we have not read the post that would prove it, never that the relationship does not exist. Counts are distinct forwarded posts observed, so they only ever go up as we read more.
A live page changes as we take new readings, so a citation should name the measurement it is based on, not just the URL. The line below cites the subscriber count as measured 13 September 2026 — this entry's latest reading, not the date you are reading this.
