Some statements in the New Testament say that Jesus was conceived by the Holy Spirit or was the Word that was God, while other statements in the New Testament say other things about him. Some of those statements are things that cannot possibly be historically true, while others are things that might or might not be historically true.

In the NT, Jesus came to FULFILL the words of the Prophets NOT to save the Jews. It must be obvious that If Jesus SAVED Jews from Destruction then the Prophets would all be FALSE. Jerusalem and the Temple MUST fall. Mark 4 Quote:
What was the Bad News?---There would be NO GOOD NEWS for the Jews up to this very day. gMark's Jesus was a DECEIVER not an apocalyptic preacher. |

You claimed Jesus was an apocalyptic preacher yet have NOT shown the source for your claim.
I stated that NT Jesus was a DECEIVER and showed you Mark 4 where gMark's Jesus SECRETLY tells his disciples that he SPEAKS in parables to the Jews so that they would REMAIN in Sin. Mark 4 Quote:
Mark 216 Quote:
Please, now show that Jesus was an apocalyptic preacher or else I will maintain that you are an inventor of your own imaginative history of HJ. I need credible SOURCES for your apocalyptic HJ not Ghost stories. |

The bit of vagueness there is due to Jesus himself being vague, not the author or whatever. The author of Mark believed Jesus to be the Messiah, thus the verses. It makes sense psychologically and culturally for Jesus to be vague at times. Claiming to be the Messiah meant something big in the sight of other Jews. |

Vague for psychological and cultural reasons is too vague. |
