Was Jesus real?

[Peacetrain]

116. Sigh! Yes Jesus was real..

He would be considered a raving left wing lunatic in his time, especially with his embrace and raising up of women.. one of the things that got him murdered.

He never claimed to be God.

Mark the oldest of the gospels, written about 40 years after his death, possibly by someone who actually knew Jesus.. (and Lord only knows how many were thrown out when the bible was finalized about 4 centuries after the death of Jesus).. Mark does not talk of the birth of Jesus.. he was a Man with a Message that all were part of God.

God is in all of us.

There is no magical being who looks like Zeus.. Jesus was the first to address the Abba that is in us all.

The other Gospels are written well after the death of Jesus..written by people who did not know him.. John being the newest gospel in the Bible is so flowery.. and talks more of the magical God.. was written at least a century after the death of Jesus.

Poor old Paul, basically proclaimed himself the 13th apostle.. and he is the one that ties us all up in knots.. the apostles were most likely illiterate.. most likely wrote nothing and if they did, it would not have been in the Greek..

The Abrahamic faiths more grounded in the historical.. they are pretty darned wonderful that way..
