I can't even qualify as a "Dutch Christian."

I don't even think the Gospels are a valuable source of wisdom!

Is it not bizarre that we are now waiting on atheists to agree with those Christians who have now ADMITTED the probability that Jesus was Mythology?

It is time we stop blaming Christians because they are now saying Jesus was probably MYTH or accept such a possibility.

It is sad that some so-called atheists do not accept the obvious that the Jesus story is just a Myth fable of antiquity that was believed by people who themselves ALREADY believed multiple myth fables.

You can not change history very easlily, but you can distort it greatly. Men are wonderful creatures.

So, why are people changing the Jesus story and STRIPPING away the evidence that show Jesus as Myth?

It is people today who are attempting to CREATE an historical Jesus.

Once the stories of Jesus were written and CIRCULATED in antiquity with his description as the Child of the Ghost, God Incarnate and the Creator then there is NO need to change the Jesus character.

In the NT, Jesus was MYTH.

In which credible source of antiquity is Jesus just an ordinary man who was known as a SINNER having NO ability to remit sins?

You will have to ask people. I am not changing the story, at least the one I have been told and read.

Jesus is fact, not myth. I am the Southern Baptist, not atheist, agnostic or something else.

I better stop here before some good member gives me the :devil1:.

If Jesus is a fact, Perseus is a fact. Divine father and gorgons included.
