You mean Jesus became a zombie. Thats what the walking dead are truly called. Problems is you like to use big words as though it means something more and gives mysterious meaning.

Compared to today yup. Except for a few exceptions of people who still think like it is 70 ace and they should follow the words of bronze age sheep herders.:devil1:

You would think he would get his own story straight wouldn't you? :rolling:

Think about it. let's say you live in Los Angeles California and someone says that there's a guy there healing the sick and doing various miracles. All we would have to do is go to L.A. to see if it was true or not! The people in L.A. would already know this isn't true cause they wouldn't see anyone doing miracles!

So, how did the Gospels come about to be believed in the first century (if there was no Jesus) and turn out to be the world's largest religion based on ANONYMOUS "no one knows who wrote them" texts?!?!?

It's simple if you assume Jesus wrote them and I do not know why no one has ever thought of this before.
Exactly. Why would people circulate stories about alligators in the sewers unless the alligators were really down there? Why would our parents tell us not to cross our eyes because they would stay that way unless they really would? Why would stories about a fat man on a flying sled pulled by levitating reindeer who visits houses to deliver presents all in the span of one night pass around unless it was so? Huh? Huh? Answer that, doubters!

Exactly. Christians claim Jesus was a dead body that has been brought back to life by a supernatural force then they get upset when you say zombie and save all the time of writing out the formal explanation.

Zombie: a dead body that has been brought back to life by a supernatural force.

Much simpler to just say Jesus is a zombie.

Yeah Zombie Jesus I am loving it.

About the things in the gospels that only involve Jesus and nobody else was there - maybe Jesus later told his disciples about them, before he died.

he wouldn't be a zombie. Remember how you guys say that we are just making stuff up about God? Well, a zombie is only a zombie because we humans made that definition of a zombie, but we truly don't know what a zombie truly is since it's just made up.

jesus would not have been all green and disgusting looking after being in the tomb from about 6 PM Friday night to 6 AM Sunday morning. Jesus would still look like Himself.

Nice try trying to assign the "human definition and description" of a zombie to an eternal God.

So only zombies are green? Anything resurrected after death that's not green isn't a zombie?

Oh, and you really need to learn about human decomposition before you make statements like "he'd look like himself". This is my area of expertise

Which gospel?
Each is different.
