You fail to understand that your opinion of me is just worthless. I never ever even think about you or your qualifications when I form an opinion about the myth called Jesus. I am interested in passages like Matthew 1.18, Luke 1.35 and Acts 1.9, these are obvious mythical tales or blatatant fiction. Jesus came to earth as a fiction and left as fiction. |

Surely the Christian-Rabbi debate is one of wrestling for the God of Israel. Who is chosen. Who owns the history and where was it leading. That the word "Jew" was left to the Rabbi's doesn't change that Christianity is part of big-tent Judiasm, one that included Philo, temple-men, the Church etc. etc. |

The problem is that rabbinic Judaism "won." It gave us our Mishnah, our Gemara, all our voluminous commentaries, our most important insights into ancient Jewish life.
It has been said often enough that the victors are the ones who write history. razly |

Let me ask you this. What, according to the NT, is God's name? |

Sometimes the victors even steal parts of other peoples history to prop-up their own... |

You were speaking of normative Judaism, which is a red herring. I don't think it was weak to point that out.
God doesn't have a proper name in the NT. He is called by either kurios or Theos. I'd love to know what you're getting at... razly |
