Then there’s the problem of the written manuscripts which existed 100’s of years before any organized religion was started.No, there's a fourth option.There are only three choices; he is what he said he is, he is lying or he is crazy.The sentence above the link. I summarized the link for your dumbass and you couldn't even read the summary.You did not say it. You provided a dubious link, like you have in the past, that is not safe to click.
Spell it out and stop being lazy.
And the time passed does not forgive the sins. And the fact that Jesus Christ would never have allowed it if he was the powerful being Christians says he is.
So you have to work that paradox out... See where it leads you.
Halting Gnostic Christian heretical beliefs being spread through Europe and the resulting aggression of the Gnostic Christians against the Church.Because that's the other option.He said he was God. Was he crazy or lying? If he was crazy or lying, how can you think he was a good person?I have never said that. It's possible he didn't, but I think he did. He's just not the son of god, that is the basis of Christianity.
I think he was a good person, like Gandhi. I love Jesus. But he was not supernatural. And a religion was formed around him to make money and power, and that is what you so fervently believe in. That's why you don't care about killing women and children and innocents, and torturing them and raping, etc....
You may believe in something, but it has nothing to do with Jesus. So you should question yourself about what you believe in, if you're a good person.
You can have faith in Jesus, and not believe Christianity.
Which one is it?
Your religion used Jesus, but never followed his teachings. Christianity, which started like 400 years after, was a money/power making machine, which is just unrivaled. And they made more money and power by killing everyone else who opposed.
Sine missione.
Manuscripts which tell us Jesus claimed to be God.
So still only three options. So which is it?
as far as I recall---NONE OF THOSE MANUSCRIPTS were written DURING the
life-time of Jesus-------after his death there developed a CULT around that person. FURTHERMORE-----none of them are extant. -----just not good enough. Even
worse, none of the copies of the putative "used to exist" manuscripts were clearly
written by people who MET JESUS or KNEW THE LANGUAGE HE SPOKE.
Most significant----IMHO----the, clearly, LITERATE Jesus----wrote nothing.
During and even before Jesus------other "scholars" ---actually did write and there
were very literrate scholars who------"forgot" to mention that "god is out there in Jerusalem"????
