    They think we can't tell the difference, as if we haven't read the story.

    did jesus exist?

    Why do the holy grail seekers bother looking for treasure that isn't there when the mythologies are perfect just as they are?

    did jesus exist?

    A "relatively obscure" Jesus is not the Jesus we read of in the gospels. The Jesus of the gospels drew huge crowds wherever he went. That relatively obscure Jesus must be yet another imaginary Jesus of the same name.

    Pre-Easter and Post-Easter Jesus

    Writings of a "resurrection" come first (the early epistle writers), and a story of a Jesus (the gospel) came much later. Some doubt the existence of an historical Jesus and for good reason, but most believe because it is ingrained deep within our culture that Jesus lived and died for us all.

    did jesus exist?

    Nazareth was unheard of prior to gMark. The location and name of present day Nazareth was determined centuries later. Holy grail seekers claim otherwise.

    did jesus exist?

    1. Correct, Paul was not writing a gospel. 2. Commenting on divorce does not make one a teacher. 3. The gospels write of a Last Super, borrowing from Paul's Lord's Super and incorporating it into a narrative. 4.Wrong, Paul explains that his and Peter' apostleship was appointed by God. Galatians...

    did jesus exist?

    Reading the epistles without any preconceived notions coming from the gospel story which came about later, we don't read of a Jesus of Nazareth, of Pilate, Mary, his trial, his miracles, teachings, and so on. According to Paul, apostles were self appointed, and we get no indication from reading...

    did jesus exist?

    Holy s*** Sherlock. A moron such as myself could figure that much out if all is assumed to be true just as it is presented to us. Sunday school anyone?

    did jesus exist?

    Of course it has been run into the ground, we're dealing with religion.

    did jesus exist?

    That's doing science backwards. Assuming there is an historical Jesus to begin with and then proceeding to take away the mythical evidence to view him is to put the horse before the cart. A starting point would be to take a neutral approach, assess the information and allow the information to...

    Pre-Easter and Post-Easter Jesus

    The entire New Testament was written in Greek. It can't be said with any certainty that Jesus existed.

    did jesus exist?

    It's not over 'till it's over but things are not looking good for the Rangers. I'd send you frubles to cheer you up but somehow most of mine have disappeared and my fruble power is a mere 1 point anyways. Game 5 tomorrow, Monday.

    did jesus exist?

    That's an ad homenim, rather than present a counter argument, that simply stooped to insult.

    did jesus exist?

    The oldest Buddhist writings reveal one with a scientific outlook, centuries ahead of his time, but the religion that follows is, well, religion.

    did jesus exist?

    They may as well as be hidden away in a cave as long as you make appeals to authority and popularity ad nauseum.

    did jesus exist?

    The following is a textbook case for the bandwagon fallacy and the appeal to authority fallacy because no other argument is being made. It is correct to appeal to the proper authority in that one would be wise to consult with a an auto mechanic rather than a dentist if one had car trouble, but...

    did jesus exist?

    But your not appealing to scholarly arguments, you are appealing to authority and to popularity. Two fallacies in one. Not to mention ad nauseum.

    About 9 point nine tenths of all the so called experts are believers in a Judaic-Christian faith. No bias there.
