Jesus should have been armed

The most amazing part of all this is believing Jesus is real.

Probably have carried a Peacemaker.

Woohoo the hard men are in. You're as bad as the yanks for historical inaccuracy.

There really was a Jesus. Even if you don't believe in God it is widely accepted that there was a man named Jesus and he died at the cross.

Didn't know that eh?

He had two arms and both were harmed.

You're getting mixed up with his father.

You said it.

She should ask her daddy the former professional wrestler who impregnated her mom with her in a one-night stand in Florida. Or her husband Mr. 'show my winky in bowling allies'. Such a classy individual our Lauren.

Jesus was dead by the time Saul became Paul and converted on the road to Damascus. So of course he never met him.

Of course Jesus was armed. Otherwise how else would they have nailed him to a cross?

I asked several questions. No one has answered them.

"In his epistles, Paul says he met Peter, as well as James, brother of Jesus. He definitely seems not to have met any of the other apostles. In Galatians 1:11-12, Paul even said that he did not receive the gospel from any man, only by revelation from God - something he could not have said if he had spent any time at all with the other apostles.

On the other hand, Acts of the Apostles (Acts 9:19) says that Paul was taught the gospel by the disciples. George Wells (Evidence for the Historical Jesus) quotes A. J. Mattill as saying that the dominant view of Acts' presentation of Paul is that in Acts and the epistles there are two Pauls, the historical Paul of the authentic epistles and the legendary Paul of Acts."

My personal interpretation of what happened was that early christians were a deeply mystical loosely affiliated group following a huge number of mystical Gospels - many of which barely mention a Jesus figure. The early mystical christians were far more like modern Q-Anon advocates aggregating around a fictional metaphoric Q type figure.

Paul came along and had his mystical encounter with Jesus and decided to whip the rag tag groupings of mystic christians into a coherent group with a common dogma. Part of the process was expunging all the gnostic contradictory gospels and replacing them with the four tightly edited coherent gospels we now have. None of these Gospels were written by the apostles and none of them were written by eye witnesses to the supposed events. All of them draw on the same root texts which are now lost and each builds on the ones written earlier than themselves. It is a common fiction that they were written by the Apostles of the same name. None of this is even remotely contraversial to actual Biblical scholars.

There was a significant break between the early christians and the church that Paul formed, and there was definite intent to shape a coherent narrative from the disparate strands of what came before. Part of the plan was to reach out to those "authentic" Jewish christians in the holy land - but when he did so he found they were so out of step with his intentions that he decided instead to persecute them as heretics.

Biblical scholar would not pass muster as actual scholars in any other discipline because no one but true believers ever enters the discipline, there is no such thing as a Biblical historian - there are only Christian Biblical scholars. As I said in my first post - all external references to Jesus in Roman texts are later scribes additions to the originals and this is demonstrated by their textual difference to the originals. Scibes were not great at emulating the tone of those they adulterated.

Ah here. Im out. This is mad. Your mad.

Enjoy.

Jesus wore hair long and flowing, wore a dress, and sandals. If appeared and walked into their church they'd call him trans and hound him out

What like that other prophet?

In fairness Muslims and Jews believe in him to. Although Jesus Christ appears to be a mish-mash of previous gods.
