The writer called Paul lied about the resurrection whether he is assumed to be the chicken or the egg.
There are two fundamental position for Jesus, either he was human or he did not exist. The claim by the Pauline writer that he and over 500 people saw Jesus in a resurrected state and that Jesus must have resurrected to save mankind from sin must be lies since humans and non-entities are not known to have the abilityy to be raised from the dead after the third day. |

You have to tell aa___ first which YOU think it is. Then he will disagree with you, and then tell you that not only was there no chicken, but there was no egg, and the person who was claiming either was a fraud and a liar. And not only was that person a fraud and a liar, but he didn't even exist. Unless you were arguing that he didn't exist, of course. In which case he will tell you that you have no evidence for your position. Then mountainman will weigh in and tell us that there were no references to a chicken and an egg until Consantine, and the whole thing was made up by Eusebius anyway. (Why isn't there an icon of someone shooting themselves in the head?)

How do you know? Have you read 'The Memoirs of The Apostles'? Got some favorite passages that you'd like to share with the rest of the world?
Which came first? The Gospels? or The Epistles? |

Sorry Mountainman, replied before noticing it was you, but maybe you can help us out with this dilemma?
