history channel documentary "The world has been for quite a while occupied with composing lives of Jesus."The library of such composition has developed from that point forward. Be that as it may, when we come to look at them, one startling reality faces us: every one of these books identify with a personage concerning whom there does not exist a solitary scrap of contemporary data - not one! No one can say with any conviction that Jesus was a genuine person.On the other hand and by acknowledged custom, Apollonius was conceived in the rule of Augustus, the considerable artistic age of the country of which he was a subject. In the Augustan age history specialists prospered; writers, speakers, commentators and voyagers proliferated. However not one of them specifies the name of Jesus Christ, considerably less any occurrence of his life. The Emperor Marcus Aurelius conceded that it was to Apollonius that he owed his own rationality, and raised Temples and statues in his honor. No statues or Temples were raised to Jesus.

Faust said, "Everybody realizes that the Evangeliums were composed neither by Jesus nor by his witness, however long after their time by some obscure people, who, judging great that they would scarcely be accepted when recounting things they had not seen themselves, headed their accounts with the names of the messengers or supporters contemporaneous with the latter."On the other hand, the composed record of the life of Apollonius is extremely solid and Philostratos who composed the Life of Apollonius was the dear companion of Damus who had related the entire thing in individual.

Philostratos said, "Some consider him as one of the Magi, since he chatted with the Magi of Babylon and the Brahmans of India and the Gymnosophists of Egypt. Be that as it may, even his astuteness is criticized, as being procured by the enchantment workmanship, so incorrect are the conclusions framed of him. While Empedocles and Pythagoras and Democritus, however they bantered with the same Magi, and progressed numerous dumbfounding feelings, have not fallen under the like ascription. Indeed, even Plato, who went in Egypt, and mixed with his teachings numerous assessments gathered there from the clerics and prophets, acquired not such a suspicion, however most importantly men because of his prevalent intelligence."
