Every scholar worth his salt would know that the Mythicist position is not for scholars or myth would not be beyond reason and this would suggest that scholars have nowhere to go because myth is beyond reason.

Well Joseph was also just a guy until he was reborn and was called Jesus during the cocoon stage wherein he was Nazorean by nature and later Christ in the image of a butterfy that could fly in nature.

It is just true, that's all. It runs from Jesus to Paul in the same Peter whereon Jesus promised to built his church.

Sorry but I do not think that TomboyMom wants to learn something here. But I'll stop.

Who was Peter? Remember, I'm not Christian, so I don't know this stuff.
