An offsping of a god and human who carries the weight of the world, dies in the sct of saving the tribe/culture, and returns to heaven.

Not an original theme.

You can't have the god-man hanging around in perpetuity, cramps everybody's style. But he can leave behind a dynasty with delegated authority.

In the RCC that dynasty is the popes.

Well, please read the earliest gMark, Sinaiticus or Vaticanus, because what you were told in Sunday School may NOT match the story.

In gMark, when the women visitors went to the tomb the body of Jesus was already MISSING. In gMark there is ZERO witnesses to any resurrection.

The women are WITNESSES of an EMPTY TOMB in the earliest Jesus stories in gMark and told NO-ONE that Jesus was raised from the dead.

This is the VERY LAST verse in gMark.

Mark 16.8

Quote:

8 And going out they fled from the sepulcher; for trembling and astonishment had seized them; and they said nothing to any one, for they were afraid.

The post-resurrection story was a LATER invention.

That is true but only to give snake handlers a sense of direction in hell as the Jesus of Mark went back to Galilee to preach in effort to set the whole world 'on fire for the Lord' instead dying to his own. Point in fact , he was not dead but was only reported to have been dead which is what the scribes in Matthew feared in 27:64 who so will be worse that the one crucified . . . and yes, he was as he took up his seat [as self-rigtheous prick] next to God and let his eleven do his dirty work for him, while he should be one with God and it would not surprise me if he invented the 'rally tent' as we know it today. Mark's Jesus was kind of like a [Theravada] Buddhist who wanted to walk on leather and tried to pave the whole world with leather so he could instead of putting on leather shoes so he would [be one with God].
