Re: What Do Mythicists Want?
to Blood, tradition becomes history, and history becomes dogma I can agree with that, but where do you put Jesus? (at least a human earthly Jesus exists in the gospels and Paul's epistles). He would be either totally fictional OR (according to my research) a real but not divine or exceptional Jew w...

Re: What Do Mythicists Want?
Of the two options, this seems closer to the truth. The state of the evidence for the historical existence of Jesus is consistently and egregiously overstated. . By whom is the question. Throwing out apologetic scholars with a limit of say Ben Witherington being way over the line, I don't think you...

Re: Jesus Was a "Man's Man" Feminized By the Church
File this under "looked deeply down the well and found Jesus in his own reflection." I agree Jerry is off base. Its my take as a Galilean zealot who traveled and taught, he "may" have ate better then most. As a healer he "may" have been healthier then most. While stone...

Re: Zealots aka Galileans
Another piece of evidence is the complete opposite types of housing between the Helleistic centers and the Satellite villages that supported them.
Nazareth was a hovel at best, I view as a work camp for the rebuilding of Sepphoris.

Re: Zealots aka Galileans
Zealots were sometimes called Galileans. http://peterkirby.com/zealots-aka-galileans.html Cheers. Its what I have always followed, and placed Judas at this cultural movements beginning. being under Herod's rule and the taxation as well as land displacement due to the building of Sepphoris and Tiber...

Re: The Propaganda War Against Mythicism [Vridar]
This could be worth a watch Not really. Not only is it biased, many parts do not make sense and it takes leaps of imagination to follow his view. More so then thinking men found a man to be important, and due to mythology associated with theology, described him using mythology. To date, nothing fit...

Re: The Propaganda War Against Mythicism [Vridar]
I don't imagine that folks living thousands of years ago, imagined Jesus as only a deity, residing somewhere up in the clouds of heaven. I surmise that those living two millennia ago, believed that jesus had been real, had been genuinely executed by crucifixion, and had died for their sins. . I wou...

Re: Historicity of Jesus - the Talking Points
Beside the common misunderstanding of Gal 1:19 (which certainly does not say that James was the brother of Jesus), you are outlining Paul's ontology, which in itself says nothing about the historicity of Jesus.. How can you be so sure its 100% ontology? Paul's Jesus dies for our sins and his resurr...
