I will be waiting with a garbage bag. It is time that HJers realize their Jesus is NOT coming soon.

I do not see any real difference between those who look for the coming of the heavenly Jesus and those who look for Jesus in a book whose author declared publicly that his source for his Jesus is NOT historically reliable.

This is the 21 st century.

It is time the Jesus Myth Fable be recognized as one of the greatest deception of all time and then be dumped.

Ehrman's debate on the Resurrection with William Craig People are waiting for this guy's Jesus?????? People are going to pay money????? Jesus Christ!!!!

We know that Sai Baba existed but we dont have to accept that the miracles attributed to him happened.

Sure, but what about Josephus?

The existence of Sai Baba requires an Independent Inquiry and the results cannot be transferred to the Quest for the Historical Jesus.

One can be wrong about Sai Baba and be right about Jesus and vice versa or could be both wrong or both right.

In other words, the existence or non-existence of Sai Baba is IRRELEVANT to the Quest for the historical Jesus.

We need evidence for an historical Jesus but you are looking for evidence for Sai Baba.

I've noticed countless times before that mythers are incapable of grasping any such thing as an analogy.

Chaucer

___yet we don't know that any Historical Jeebus ever existed, thus we don't have to accept that -anything- attributed to him ever happened.

How dare you come on BC&H and called people "mythers? WHO the hell are you?

You BELIEVE the Ghost stories in the Bible contains the history of your Jesus.

You EXTRACT history from Mythology.

You seem to be a "MYTH historicists"

Now, are you implying that if Sai Baba existed then Robin Hood must have?

Are you implying that once Sai Baba existed that Plutarch's Romulus and Remus MUST be figures of history?

It is rather illogical and without merit to imply that the existence of a character can be ascertained by Analogy.

You seem INCAPABLE of understanding that YOUR Jesus of Nazareth NEEDS history from antiquity, evidence from antiquity, credible sources of antiquity--NOT analogy.


Jesus was purely analogical--NOT historical.

Over 1800 years ago, a Christian writer ADMITTED Jesus was ANALOGICAL to Myths.

First Apology XXI You don't seem to understand the difference between MYTH and history.

You appear to be a myth-historicist. Myth and history are analogical to you.

Please, go get a history book for your Jesus--NOT the Bible.

People here don't believe the Bible is credible.

How many times must you be told that the Bible is NOT a History book?

You believe Myth Fables of NT Jesus contains history--myth historicist!!!!!

Yes, but unless one attributes miracles to your Sai Baba, would one pay any attention to him? He would be insignificant. The miracles are designed to give him an unearned reputation.

We do not have any evidence supporting the factual existence of a biblical Jesus, on the other hand, so there is no reason to accept the mythology around this literary figure. The same applies to all of the biblical characters such as Abraham, Moses, the prophets, the "Virgin" Mary (an oxymoron if there ever were one), Joshua, take your pick. There is no more evidence for an historical Jesus than there is for Clark Kent or Batman. The problem is that most people seem to have difficulty separating fact from fiction, and that is a major failing of educational systems.

Steve Weiss

Are you referring to the well-known forgeries of Josephus Flavius? Even if this scant "evidence" were verified or verifiable, would that make the existence of a man/god a reality? What's your point? Jesus the miracle- worker is obvious fiction, and no amount of second-hand testimony as in Josephus would alter that fact in the slightest. The bible is less credible than a Dell or DC comic book. That people believe in it (the bible) indicates their lack of intellectual competence and their capacity for self-delusion.
