You are confused and not making much sense.

I can tell you without hesitation that Jesus was described as a PHANTOM in gMark 6.48-49 and 9.2-3.
But you know and have stated the texts are fabrications and are untrustworthy.

I can tell you WITHOUT hesitation that the sea-water walking and the Transfiguration with the resurrected Moses and Elijah did NOT happen as described.
Oh? You were there?
Quote:
I can tell you that gMark is a Myth Fable as PRESENTED.
Then why do you accept its statements and employ them as though they were true?

How can I KNOW a text is a fabrication and untrustworthy WITHOUT FIRST SEEING the Text?

Do you want me to IMAGINE what the TEXT should have?

You seem totally confused.

The VERACITY of a TEXT can ONLY be assessed AFTER READING and ANALYSING the very TEXT.

Based on MY OWN UNDERSTANDING of SPECIFIC GRAVITY, BIOLOGY and the Human Anatomy Mark 6.48-49 and Mark 9.2-3 is FICTION and virtually all the so-called miracles are Implausible.

I can ONLY accept gMark as MYTH until there is EXTERNAL corroboration from non-apologetic sources.

So far, I can corroborate John the Baptist, Herod and Pilate of gMark using external sources of antiquity.

I have ZERO corroboration for Jesus and his disciples in gMARK.

What do your understanding of specific gravity, biology, and human anatomy tell you about Mark 11:11, mentioned by Sheshbazzar earlier?

Answer your own question. Your answer MIGHT or MIGHT NOT be correct.

So. You have seen the TEXT. You have been able to READ and ANALISE the TEXT, and asses the VERACITY of the TEXT.

In the TEXT of Mark 11:11 Is it impossible, and CANNOT BE POSSIBLE that a human being named J***S walked in Jerusalem and entered The Temple?

-Of course one might consider, that name was very common at that time. There were probably hundreds of Jews in that region with that name.
What would be the likelihood that one of these Jewish men by that name ever visited The Temple? What are the odds?

Answer your own question. Your answer MIGHT or MIGHT NOT be correct.
I already have given my answer. Now you give yours.
