    did jesus exist?

    The other point is, why do these folks even care about the existence of some person whose characteristics DON'T match those of the NT Jesus? It is illogical.

    did jesus exist?

    Theses folks can't seem to get this thru their heads, they're trying to palm off a historical Jesus on us that by definition cannot bear any relationship to the man-god character portrayed in the gospels. Like talking to a wall.:thud:

    did jesus exist?

    Again, they want to have their cake and to eat it to. The character of Jesus portrayed in the NT obviously has nothing to do with the historical Jesus they are trying to pawn off on us.

    did jesus exist?

    Keep going, you might convince yourself this argument from the negative makes sense, arguing that the LACK of contemporary historical evidence does nothing to diminish the idea of the historicity of a mythical Jesus makes perfect sense to me. :no:

    Ancient Aliens - Gods

    And SYFY has been taken over by "Ghosthunters". That's a real "fact" based show there. wink wink.:yes:

    did jesus exist?

    The "historical Jesus exists" apologists are faced with a Catch-22. If the real man the gospels were written about was just a normal everyday guy, then it is illogical to think the stories in the NT are based upon such a man. since they are stories about a charismatic healer and miracle...

    did jesus exist?

    Again you distract from the issue. Exactly WHAT Jesus we are talking IS the issue. Was the NT based upon a real man, or made up? If based upon a real man, how many of the stories are real, and how many were fictitious? Obviously, the NT is full of made up stories, I don't know how anyone could...

    did jesus exist?

    I've probably heard more sermons than you in my lifetime, in any case, please point to a specific Jesus and prove to me he is the man that the writers of the NT were writing about. Exactly how many of the stories of the NT were actually about this man, as opposed to being made up, and where do...

    did jesus exist?

    Prove it was Nazareth.

    did jesus exist?

    Uh, I'm talking about the following sentence: "There is a specific Jesus of Nazareth, born in 1st century roman palestine, who gathered together many followers including twelve central disciples, taught, and ended up being exectuted for his actions. ":thud:
  11. logician

    did jesus exist?

    Correct, there was not a Nazareth in the supposed time of Jesus.
  12. logician

    did jesus exist?

    I didn't really believe you were this misguided. To honestly believe these tales are 100 percent factual with no historical basis whatsoever is mindboggling.

    What makes something inherently good?

    Good and bad are relative terms, to the societal norms and mores. There is nothing inherent about it.
  14. logician

    did jesus exist?

    So logically, these historical Jesus(s) have nothing to do with a biblical Jesus.
  15. logician

    did jesus exist?

    Again, your post is an insult, that everyone on the other side is an uninformed jerk. Not really a great debating style.
  16. logician

    did jesus exist?

    What Jesus are you talking about? Certainly not the biblical one.:shrug:
  17. logician

    did jesus exist?

    Really, do so, with real historical examples, not extrapolated(made up) ones. I won't hold my breath.

    Halloween, celebrating Satan's birthday?

    For that matter when was the supposed Jesus' birthday? I don't think this info is necessary to worship something.
  19. logician

    did jesus exist?

    ROFLMAO Again you push and push the "my scholars are better than your scholars" argument ad infinitum. You have nothing else. The idea that you think it is "foolish" that I expect at least one if not more than one contempary historian to write about a supposed Jesus is quite quaint. Especially...

    Who IS "The Only TRUE God"- as Jesus put it?

    Any religion that claims to be the one true way, isn't.
