And in those very days, it was also publicly Circulated and documented that Romulus and Remus, the MYTH founders of Rome, were human brothers born of the same woman. See Putarch's Romulus. You should understand that the Myth Fables of Jesus, Romulus and Remus have ZERO historical credibility. |

Of course there is zero historical credibility there, I was simply suggesting that "man of men" means a pure human being born of egg and sperm. but the Christ was born of a woman's egg in her womb with supernaturai fertilization, enabling the Jesus figure to be considered a physical person because of that.

The epistles do not come as packages in the Nag Hammadi Codices. How did the authors/transmittors/translators who manufactured the Nag Hammadi Codices treat Paul and the Epistles?

The fact of a virgin giving birth meant to them without sexual intercourse the woman became pregnant and gave birth to a physical person.
Now would you remember to reply to my other posting?! Originally Posted by Duvduv aa5874, if the Book of Acts preceded the epistles, then why didn't the story of the revelation of Paul as appearing in Acts find its way into the epistles? Why didn't the historical Jesus of NAZARETH find its way into the succeeding epistles? Why didn't mention of the Baptist find its way into the epistles? Why did the Peter of Acts then have epistles written just as Paul did? If Acts was the first written text of the sect to appear, then what tradition(s) did it come from where "Peter" and "Paul" were revered as the great apostles, and who were these two important figures that got top billing in the earlier period before Acts was produced?

As soon as you provide the evidence from antiquity or admit you have none for your claims then I can deal with your other posts. |

I don't see why this is necessary. Many ancient people, including the Talmud knew about sperm ("zera") causing pregnancy. And virginity and the menstrual cycle as well in relation to pregnancy. As far as I am concerned this is a given. They may not have understood all the details we know today involved in IVF reproductive technologies, but they knew the basics. I don't have an inventory of sources for you about this.

Paul is such a lowly toad that he can't even be trusted to take this message back himself to his own congregations. So he is sent back with more worthy Jerusalem representatives along with letters instead in 15:22-24. In 15:32 we have these complete unknowns, Judas and Silas, confirming people in Paul's own Church. If that weren't enough, they also carry back some other commandments like not eating anything that was strangled, and not to fornicate etc. Paul does not even rise to the level of being a messenger boy in these passages. |
