What are your reasons...

those were what the four of his 13 friends/generals who were literate wrote. two thousand years from now, how many written records do you suppose there will still be about the prisoners at abu grabe and guantanimo? i think that would be the context for any roman references, other then what can be placed as events and conditions contemporary to the time. i somehow doubt they kept a record of everyone who was born, let alone those they would have considered insurgents and terrorists.

no religion starts out big. for the first two or three hundred years, it was just some wierdo cult by the standards of its day. if it weren't for saul of tarsus who both popularized and perverted it, and constantine adopting it, and the big ruckass of the two nican councils, it is, in a materal sense, quite likely no one today would still ever have heard of it.

one alternate possibility is that the essenes made it up, almost a hundred years BEFORE the "event", to rally their countryfolk to resist the roman occupation.

as for the sun of god bit, every mainifestation can be considered the same only begotten, that is to say, the spirit of manifestation they are invested with by big friendly and invisible when/so that they can, channel it.

both equally probable and quite real possibilities.

 

True, little written about him except from the disciples. And nothing written about his 40 days on the Earth after resurrection. That should be a big red question mark!

 

thanks for sharing, keeping thread going. Good stuff.

 

the real resurection may have been marry magdaline's resurection of the spirits of the deciples after his exicution.

without her having done that, there would not have been even "the wierd little cult" that saul of tarsus decades later both perverted and popularized.

 

Maybe Jesus wasn't dead after crucifixion and lived 40 days before succumbing to the effects of the crucifixion. It could have happened. I'm sure there are stories of crucifixion survivors.

I've heard some crazy stuff about her. Lived naked as a hermit in the desert never cutting her hair. Don't know if its true.

 

i don't know if it is either, i don't claim to.
