Are you claiming that Acts of the Apostles supports an historical Jesus???

1. In Acts 1.9, Jesus ascended in a cloud to heaven. Such an act does NOT require a real human Jesus.

2. In Acts 2.1-2, The Holy Ghost Filled up the Disciples and gave them the POWER to preach--Without the POWER of the Ghost there would be NO preaching of the Gospel.

3. In Acts 9, Paul was Blinded like a Bat when he Heard a voice in his head--such a thing does NOT require a human Jesus.

Acts of the Apostles show that the Jesus cult of Christians started WITHOUT any human Jesus and that it was Belief in a Holy Ghost that started the Jesus movement.

Jesus had ALREADY gone to heaven BEFORE the Gospel was preached and Before the Jesus cult started.

The Jesus story is essential a 2nd century Myth Fable that was BELIEVED by some in antiquity.

No. I am stating that your posts consistently reveal that your comprehension of the content of, and the reasons these texts were written is extremely superficial and shallow.
You reveal that do not fathom anything beyond the superficial story.

I'll present you with this little example about fathoming the difference between the deep and the shallow from the Book of Acts;
For once in your pitiful miserable life aa, LOOK at this text, and tell us what you can fathom about it.

What does this particular text reveal to you?

What is the significance of these words?

Why do you think these detailed measurements were provided?

Do you have any comprehension at all of the significance of what it is that is contained and being revealed in these two verses?

I doubt it. But you are certainly invited to prove the depth and measure of your knowledge and wisdom regarding the content of this text.

You are just blowing a lot of hot air.

Why can't you FATHOM that Jesus in Acts was Non-historical??

[Acts 1 Why can't you FATHOM that it was the Holy Ghost--NOT Jesus-- that gave the disciples the POWER to preach the Jesus story in Acts???

Acts 2 Saul/Paul's BLIND conversion did NOT require a real human Jesus just what he HEARD in his head.

Acts 22Acts of the Apostles SHOW that a human Jesus was NOT necessary and did NOT START the Jesus cult of Christians.

Sheshbazzar

Dumb de dumb dumb. Talk about hot air.

I have argued for years, and in hundreds of posts in this Forum that 'Jesus' of the Bible (any Book) is not a real historical individual.
Why can't you fathom that it is just a fucking STORY? That NONE of this ever happened?
Are you just too fucking stupid to recognise mythical STORY when you read it? 'Paul' was the 'Jack' of a 'Jack and The Beanstalk' tale, not any actual individual.
You think any of this shit ever really happened??? Do you have shit for brains???

Can't you understand English??

LOOK at the OP.

Acts of the Apostles DESTROYS an Historical Jesus.

Acts of the Apostles is MYTH fable of characters called Jesus, the disciples and Paul.
Acts of the Apostles DESTROYS an historical Jesus. Tell that to EHRMAN and DOHERTY. NONE of the things happen.

People MUST stop using Acts of the Apostles to date the Pauline letters.

Acts of the Apostles is a Fiction story.
You appear confused. Now, LOOK at the OP. Acts of the Apostles DESTROYS an Historical Jesus. Can't you understand English??

People who use Acts of the Apostles as a source of history don't know that it is a TALE.
Please, read the OP. You seem to have a problem with understanding that I am ARGUING that Acts of the Apostles is NOT history.

You appear totally confused.

Sheshbazzar

Not half as confused as you are, with your loony fruitcake claim that there were no Jewish men named Jesus in the 1st century CE

Sheshbazzar

YOU tell it to them if you want. They will be glad to ignore your tirade.
They want to sell books.
Stating that the things that are written in the NT never happened, does not sell.

It is clear to me that you have some kind of problem because you are making all sorts of strange erroneous statements.

This OP clearly states "Acts of the Apostle Destroys an Historical Jesus". Please, it does NOT say that there was no Jewish man named Jesus in the 1st century.

I have SHOWN you that Acts of the Apostles is a Myth Fable, a Ghost story about a character called Jesus that Ascended in a cloud [Acts 1], that the disciples were POWERED to PREACH the Jesus story by a Ghost [Acts 2] and that Paul was Blinded like a Bat when he heard a Voice of the Ascended Jesus [Acts 9].

My argument is SOLID and cannot be contradicted.

Acts of the Apostles is a Myth Fable.

The Jesus cult of Christians did NOT require a real human Jesus based on Acts--just the Belief that the stories were true.

aa5874

Please examine your own statement. You seem to have forgotten what you said.

You seem to be terribly confused. Please take a time out. I am ARGUING that Acts of the Apostles does NOT support an historical Jesus.

So people came along and made up a bunch of stupid horseshit claims, and make up Myth Fables.
That they did so proves nothing one way or another as to whether the person that they made this horseshit up about ever lived or not.

A member of my old church claimed that Jesus had sat down on a stump in the woods and shared his lunch with him, and another time swooped down out of the sky and saved him from drowning in a river.

That this guy made up such horseshit is no reflection on the question of whether there might have been a first century preacher who may have been named Jesus.

The horseshit tales presented in Acts prove NOTHING regarding the possible former existence or non-existence of any possible first century preacher.
No more than that emotional horseshit that was spewed by these 'witnesses' for Jesus' just last week.

And no, no real belief that these horseshit stories were true has ever been required for people to claim that they are 'Christians'.
The churches have always been full of 'Christians' that are there for reasons other than any genuine belief in the Jesus mythology.
Constantine offered freedom from taxation as an incentive, hardly a wonder that he was able to quickly gain thousands of influential 'bishops'.

The lures nowdays tend to be more mundane, a 'respectable' venue to get married and buried in, and a local social club and help group.
"Christian" 'singles groups' are now wildly popular. They are hardly attended because people are genuine Christ believing Christians, just horny, lonely people that want to get laid.
