Change the paragraph section about Judaism's view of Jesus from the critical and hateful view taken in the 12th-century to a modern coexistent consensus with Christianity and Islam that still recognizes his importance and holiness as a prophet whilst rejecting him as a son of god or messiah.

"After his death,his followers became convinced that he rose from the dead, and following his ascension, the community they formed eventually became the early Christian Church that expanded as a worldwide movement."
It is understandable that not everyone is a Christian, and thus saying "his followers witnessed that he rose from the dead" is not appropriate for this environment. However, there should be another word to use rather than "became convinced" to describe how his ascension because known. Using the statement "became convinced" likely implies that they must have had to be convinced to believe his ascension, implying that his ascension didn't actually happen. Because Wikipedia articles aren't a place to assume one truth over another (as we cannot prove that Jesus' ascension didn't happen), we should simply use a term that shows how his ascension became popular, rather than implying it didn't happen. Could we use "his disciples believed he rose from the dead" to show how Jesus' ascension became popular, without implying that it didn't happen? In addition, this suggested statement leaves, whether his ascension happened or not, to the reader's subjective interpretation.~2025-40639-12 (talk)04:20, 14 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Because Wikipedia articles aren't a place to assume one truth over another (as we cannot prove that Jesus' ascension didn't happen)- that's lousy logic; concluding that natural laws were suspended by divine intervention is not the same kind of "truth" as those natural laws; the question would rather be: can you prove that itdid happen? No, of course; the 'fact' isn't even described as such in the gospels, no eye-witnesses. What they do narrate is that there were appearances of a living Jesusafter his death. Which makes the suggestion
we should simply use a term that shows how his ascension became popular, rather than implying it didn't happenoff the point; it already presents a supposed resurrection and ascension as a fact.Joshua Jonathan -Let's talk!06:12, 14 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
