Reply to: Jesus was invented by the romans

And people mock Christians for believing mad, poorly sourced material.

I think pity is more accurate than mock tbh. Although no more so than believers of most other religions.

In some ways some of them are quite worrying in that they look forward to being in heaven and non believers being tortured in hell, anyone who looks forward to people being tortured for eternity as part of their eternal paradise has a worrying streak.

Went out drinking with someone who has written a few books on the subject (Templar revelation, masks of Christ, scion revelation etc) she reckons Jesus was just a pretender who was jealous of John the baptists fame, and even had a hand in his death, in addition Mary magdalene was the brains of the outfit.

This could be a moment

I suppose that was one way to guarantee a steady supply of Christians to feed to the lions.

I thought Thomas was a tank engine not a transvestite

I don't know but trannies do go on about the Romans

Are you a-doubting Thomas?

I'm doubting the rep system

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to mudskipper again.

Only if you think the gospel of Thomas is true.

So heaven is full of transvestites? You can see why the 72 virgins thing caught on can't you.

Jesus said, "I myself shall lead her in order to make her male, so that she too may become a living spirit resembling you males. For every woman who will make herself male will enter the kingdom of heaven."[/I]

I really want to start a parody thread "Jesus was invented by the Mormons" but I don't think that sends the right kind of message. If one of you heathen lot wanted to, that'd be OK though

The First Council of Nicea

My own view is that something that was made up wouldn't have the legs to have spread to all 4 corners of the globe and lasted for over 2000 years. Just a thought though....

Why not? All it takes is for people to believe it and a government to take it up. Also, even if everything claimed about Jesus was true we have no reason to believe he was telling the truth about anything.

Do not forget the part about all of the dead saints coming back to life and wandering around! Although only one gospel saw fit to record that. Although it is also strange how God is all powerful but there are various things he cannot do etc.

As for contradictions in the bible ... surely not ... although ... Quiz Show (Bible Contradictions) - YouTube

Do you think scientology will be around in 2000 years ?

[Freaki Li Cuatre]

Sorry I thought this was already known...

The Romans had a documented meeting a few hundred years after the crucifixion and decided between them what went into the old testerment...

There was a very good documentary on it a few years ago
