Default Off topic comments split from the reason Jesus had to be baptized

Quote:
why it is that so many around here waste time debating the existence of Jesus.
They write and sell books which is an honest profession even if some books are impossible to like or justify.


According to this forum (kata foramus?) everything is a forgery and yet although marcion is only known through the second hand writings of the forgers everyone here speaks of marcion as a man of great authority. Even if marcion never existed in the flesh (kata sarka –ok this time)

Everyone here seems to know everything that there is to know about Judaism. It is such a pity to see Judeans forever maligned by friends and foes for no other reason that they provided them with the foundations of their culture.


Is Jesus real? It is a silly question to ask, I agree with that view. And writing and selling is the only explanation for wanting to argue about it.

Did the Baptist "baptize"? The is no such word in Judaism

Marcion according to the scholars in this forum is an invention of non exiting people and this gigantic fraud is all of it the clever work of the emperor Constantine.

You have been instructed to read many books about a nonexistent marcion as told by a nonexistent story teller and hate or worship the emperor Constantine.

It is very simple, but if you find this difficult to understand someone will soon come along to explain.

I'll admit it's a bit hard for a poor amateur like me to swallow, but I'm definitely not surprised.

It is also hard for me to understand that, but I was pretending to be as clever as the sacred consensus of scholars : Secular, Catholic, Muslim, Hindu, or Buddhist ... scholars.

Mea culpa mea culpa as the papist would say

This is rank nonsense.
