According to a Pauline writer Jesus did resurrect and he saw him in a resurrected state with over 500 people. Now, how is that you want to tell me about 2000 years ago when you are from a completely different culture? But, upon reflection, you may have the same culture of people 2000 years ago, you believe the offspring of the Holy Ghost of God was of human flesh. Quote:

Now, if the authors expected more intellect from its readers why do you not realize that the Holy Ghost of God was a story with some lessons for the Jews? This is what I understand so far. Someone INVENTED a story about the Son of God, the offspring of the Holy Ghost who came to warn the Jews about the wrath to come. The Jews caused the Son of God, the offspring of the Holy Ghost, to be killed innocently. The Father of Jesus, the offspring of the Holy Ghost, therefore taught the Jews a lesson and allowed the Romans to destroy the Temple. Quote:
Now, each mythical entity has its own specific trait or characteristic. Jesus is uniquely described as the offspring of the Holy Ghost of God and a Virgin Mary. No other mythical entity had such a baby. Quote:

Jesus taught in parables so that the Jews may remain in sin and confused. Mt 13:34 - Quote:

But what is most astonishing Jesus, the offspring of the Holy Ghost, gave fishing lessons or advice after he was raised from the dead. John 21.5-6 Quote:

If there was any evidence that the NT is entirely mythical then you'd have a point. All of the arguments in favor of a MJ in this thread are mainly a kind of argument of incredulity ( I can't figure it out so it's all a myth). However, as radical logic pointed out in his arguments, there can be natural explanations for extraordinary events. Thus, a Historical Jesus is a very sensible proposition. |

The faith perspective looks at every discrepancy and contradiction as God's way of challenging believers to harmonize everything with the core message. The first process leads to more questions, the second process turns back to the same answers. |

That is precisely what I have predicted. You will eventually get tired and admit that the HJ makes no sense.
You cannot show that your HJ did ever exist as human. You cannot really tell where and when he/she lived. You cannot really say what your HJ did. You cannot really tell what your HJ said. You have nothing but your imagination. Now, the NONSENSE about Jesus, the offspring of the Holy Ghost, are all documented for the world to see. Look at a partial list. Matthew 1.18-20 - Quote:
Luke 1:26-38 - Quote:
We have an HG baby not an HJ. The HJ is a most SENSELESS proposition since Jesus was multiple attested to be an HG with human flesh, a most mythical entity. |

You don't understand that the nonsense is actually from NT. And unlike you I don't make stuff up about Jesus I have more non-sense from Matthew 27. 50-53. Matthew 27:50-53 - Quote:
What non-sense! But, you believe that Jesus, the offspring of the Holy Ghost, had human flesh. What! The HJ is a most SENSELESS proposition since the Gospels makes no sense unless Jesus was really Supernatural. |
