John Michael Morgan Similar to other figures from history that are open to question, i.e, Robin Hood, King Arthur, Homer, Sun Tzu, etc. will anyone ever truly know what the Historical Jesus truly said or if he even lived? Surely not. It is possible, perhaps even likely, that Jesus reputation as being the Messiah did not solidify as we know it today until long after his death. Todays Christians read a Jesus Christ based on stories about him that were written no sooner than 30 and possibly as long as 70 years after his death. It was only after Paul (formerly Saul and later the Saint, of course) took Jesus pacifistic and egalitarian message and mixed it with Greek philosophy, many pagan themes, and Roman organization that the Gospels became I am the way, the truth, the light and all that. Regardless, devout Christians remain convinced of Jesus divinity and take the bible to be his word, incontrovertibly accurate. However, and just the same, skeptics and those of other faiths find reason to doubt that the Jesus of the Bible is really anything like that man who wandered the hills and deserts of Judea 2000 years ago. Curtir · Responder · 3 · 9 h Dean Garrett Do you ever conceded that there might be a counter argument? You have to fight the temptation to just call the rest of us fools from the pinnacle of the tabernacle, Satan. There is an art to argumentation. One does not have to use bombast, vibrato, and vitriolic speech at the very start of the argument. When we use such tactics the convinced, the choir takes flight, and those we see to persuade set their feet and stiffen their jaw and return our acid saying they would rather die than be convinced! https://youtube/watch?v=oWCxvoA_LqI
