Would Jesus ride the short bus to school?

As the Son of God, Jesus certainly must have known that people might
question his divinity, his teachings, his very existence. He was, after all,
omniscient, wasn't he? Why not leave some proof, some brain droppings? What
better proof than writings , documents, in his own hand, if possible, that
clearly and unequivocally demonstrate his existence, his superior knowledge,
his intention for the future, his relationship with his Dad, etc.

I'm sure many Christians will say that he did, and point to the Gospels. But
that's unsatisfactory for any number of reasons.

* First, the Gospels were not written by him. (They weren't written by
Matthew, Mark, Luke and John either, but that's another topic for another
day.) They were written by unknown authors anywhere from 30 to 100 years
after he allegedly died. Why didn't he write his own memoirs?
* Second, they are incomplete. They have little biographical information
in them about his first 30 years, for instance, dwelling on his last three,
and between the four Gospels, they contradict each other in many respects.
Where's an editor when you need one?
* Third, the fact that he was supposedly a carpenter's son, and hence
relatively uneducated, should not have prevented him leaving some evidence
of his own existence. He was god (for god's sake)! He could do anything he
wanted. To point to his apparent illiteracy is a non-starter of an argument
or defense. What's the point of having someone else write his biography,
when an autobiography would have been far more convincing?

So why did he not leave some evidence of his existence? A lock of hair would
be nice. Maybe a photograph? (he could do it, he was GOD after all.)

The obvious answer is.well.obvious, isn't it?

********************

John said, on August 2nd, 2007 at 2:36 pm

A year or so ago I decided to re-read the 4 Gospels. I can't find my damn
notes on the reading (I'd love to cite examples here).

I found some really interesting contradictions. And, equally, some really
FASCINATING agreement. 2 of the books in particular had many word-for-word
agreements. Anyone who knows anything about plagiarism will quickly realize
what this means.

If you and I see exactly the same event and then write a couple of
paragraphs describing it, the odds against us writing even a single sentence
exactly the same are astronomical. A whole paragraph? For all intents and
purposes - impossible. Now, if you argue that "nothing is impossible for
God", then the problem is that by not doing it consistently, the obvious
impression is left with any reasonable person that some of it was lifted,
either by the original author of one of the books or some scribe at some
later point. Why would God want to deceive you in to seeing plagiarism?

The parts that are contradictory are interesting. Here's one I remember - In
one book the scene from Jesus' burial tomb has certain people coming to it
and greeted by an angel as bright as the sun and another book has different
people as the first to show up there and greeted by a "man". Both man and
angel both give the same basic story that Jesus has risen.

We all know many examples from old and new testaments that we can criticize
on some level. I think these are particularly telling because the 4 Gospels
are the basis of what every Christian believes and fundamentalists will tell
you that it's the absolute unerring word of God. To them I say, how is that
possible based on the above?

Actually, Jesus was fully human, and most professions are that he didn't know of
his divine nature until shortly before his trip to the cross.

All he knows--- all he CARES to know-- is the catechism.

You mean "being learned". God is *our* Father also. That's doesn't signify his
divinity, which he certainly possessed, but did not necessarily understand "at
the time".

I could name you dozen of gods, if I wanted to do so.

Open the Bible and you can find as many names of sons of men as you
please.

I asked YOU who YOU know from His time other than Him.

Your answer suggests that you don't know of ANYONE from His time,
but Him, yet you seem so eager to attack Him and His followers!

What have we done to YOU?

Quite a bit really. People that did things & accomplished things are
noticed in history. It has something to do with his claimed rabbinical
status. He was not a rabbi according to & in spite of the claims found in
the Greek Testaments. No schooling [required], depending on the reader, no
wife, also required. Thirty was the youngest you could be & be a rabbi.

I don't see any logic to your argument. I see you fell in line behid your

yourself. Atheism is laughably shallow!
There are both internal and external evidences for the Bible, and
documentation that Christ lived. There is historical justification for
believing that Christ lived and that He started the Christian faith.

That's great, because the RCC teaches no such thing. I thought it was the

Jesus was fully divine and fully human. But that doesn't necessarily mean he

He was human. He didn't necessarily know that he was sinless. Just like Mary
didn't know of her sinless nature because her son Jesus had removed her sin at

Actually, Jesus was fully human,
Yes, fully human, and fully divine.
If the RCC teaches that He didn't become God until the baptism, then
the RCC teaches heresy.
That's great, because the RCC teaches no such thing.
I didn't think so.

But you have to turn Mary into an "eternal virgin" simply because
Jesus isn't holy enough for you!
We don't worship Mary. That's your delusion.

It's called "worship." It's called "Mary worship."

They won't admit that they do it, but they worship her WAY more than
they worship Jesus!

And why? I see Jesus claim to be God many times.

I don't see Mary claim to be a god EVER.

He was sinless His entire life! How could any HUMAN child not sin?
He was human. He didn't necessarily know that he was sinless. Just like Mary
didn't know of her sinless nature because her son Jesus had removed her sin at
her own conception.
I can assure you that having a sinless nature is far more superior
than having a contaminated sinful nature. we sinful humans may not
know what exactly a sinless nature is, but a sinless human has to know
his own sinless nature in order to stay sinless. If he didn't know,
then he could lose his sinless nature in a heart beat just like Adam
and Eve did.

days and nights could do better than that in terms of dealing with
hunger. Yet, he was just an ordinary man who could be vulnerable just

Yes. It is righteous anger, but it has to be contained for the greater
good. The balance is found in wisdom which is something that requires
years of practice. Obviously, Jesus was too young at the time.

Heb 4:15 For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with
the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as
we are, yet without sin.

According to what I understand, it only means Jesus can't be entirely
clueless about his sinless nature. The fact he did overcome every
obstacle that was put to him shows he does have certain innate
knowledge about the truth, but the fact he did have to fight in order
to overcome also shows he was not yet as invincible as God himself.

Would Jesus ride the short bus to school?
As the Son of God, Jesus certainly must have known that people might
question his divinity, his teachings, his very existence. He was, after all,
omniscient, wasn't he?
Actually, Jesus was fully human,
Yes, fully human, and fully divine.
If the RCC teaches that He didn't become God until the baptism, then
the RCC teaches heresy.

Rubbish!
He was sinless His entire life! How could any HUMAN child not sin?
That would be a contradiction. If Jesus was fully human, then Jesus
would have sinned just like a human. If Jesus never sinned, then Jesus
could not be *fully* human. So what is it? Is Jesus fully human just
like you are? or is he a crossbreed between human and divine instead?

Would Jesus ride the short bus to school?
As the Son of God, Jesus certainly must have known that people might
question his divinity, his teachings, his very existence. He was, after all,
omniscient, wasn't he?
Actually, Jesus was fully human,
Yes, fully human, and fully divine.
If the RCC teaches that He didn't become God until the baptism, then
the RCC teaches heresy.

Kindly don't make such statements ! ^ ^ I doubt seriously if

Support that statement! In fact, you can't.

Traditional theology states (and I concur/scripture supports that)
that He was fully human as if He were not God at all; He was as
fully God as if He was not human at all.

Try to not rationalize it. He represents the first and ONLY time in
human history that God Almighty, the Creator of all that is, took on
human flesh. The normal rules that apply to Deity, and the normal
rules that apply to humankind do not apply to that Man.

If Jesus never sinned, then Jesus

It is neither, since I don't consider you an authority on the
subject, and those I consider authorities (the prophets, Jesus, the
apostles), all disagree with you.

I believe that Colossians 2 sums it up beautifully.

In Him dwelt all the fullness of the Godhead (Father/Son/Holy
Spirit) in FLESH.

That is EVERYTHING that Deity (God Almighty) can be, Jesus the
Christ was, in flesh.

Is Jesus fully human just

Totally and unequivocally.

He was fully God and He was fully man.

He got tired, He needed sleep, He needed food, and He needed water.

Yet He walked on water, changed water into wine, and raised the
dead.

Support that statement! In fact, you can't.
I don't have to. You did. You said: "How could any HUMAN child not
sin?" Since you claim Jesus was fully human, then the human Jesus
child would have sinned based on your own statement.
Post by john w <***@yahoo.com>
Traditional theology states (and I concur/scripture supports that)
that He was fully human as if He were not God at all; He was as
fully God as if He was not human at all.
Sounds more like they don't know what they are talking about.
Post by john w <***@yahoo.com>
Try to not rationalize it.
In other word, it can't be taken seriously. Is that it?
He represents the first and ONLY time in
Post by john w <***@yahoo.com>
human history that God Almighty, the Creator of all that is, took on
human flesh. The normal rules that apply to Deity, and the normal
rules that apply to humankind do not apply to that Man.
Then how can you say he is fully anything? He is neither.
Post by john w <***@yahoo.com>
If Jesus never sinned, then Jesus
Post by Feng
could not be *fully* human. So what is it?
It is neither, since I don't consider you an authority on the
subject, and those I consider authorities (the prophets, Jesus, the
apostles), all disagree with you.
Disagree with me about what? I didn't claim anything. I was only
asking questions.
You are a liar. You are now saying that you haven't made any
pronouncements. Yet you have repeatedly told me what God can and
cannot do.

I believe that Colossians 2 sums it up beautifully.
In Him dwelt all the fullness of the Godhead (Father/Son/Holy
Spirit) in FLESH.
Actually, I agree with that completely.
Post by john w <***@yahoo.com>
That is EVERYTHING that Deity (God Almighty) can be, Jesus the
Christ was, in flesh.
Is Jesus fully human just
Post by Feng
like you are?
Totally and unequivocally.
Scripture says "He was tempted in EVERY CONCEIVABLE way like any
human, yet HE sinned not."
Then you are in contradiction with the scripture by saying: "How could
any HUMAN child not sin?" Well, the Jesus child didn't sin, right?
Post by john w <***@yahoo.com>
or is he a crossbreed between human and divine instead?
Post by Feng
:-)
He was fully God and He was fully man.
I don't object that at all. In heaven, everybody is exactly like that.
Nothing out of ordinary.
Post by john w <***@yahoo.com>
He got tired, He needed sleep, He needed food, and He needed water.
How about sin a little to be a little bit like the common folks? Jesus
lived his life like the common folks, right?
Post by john w <***@yahoo.com>
Yet He walked on water, changed water into wine, and raised the
dead.
This MAN stilled the raging storm (a hurricane) with a few words, and
cast out evil spirits (demons)
It's absolute nothing comparing with the ability not to sin. Don't let
the miracles get to your head. The real miracle is always called love.

I for one don't believe in censorship.

I believe each of us is mature enough, adult enough, to decide for
ourselves what to read.

Sad that there are those so psychotic, they believe they MUST, that
they CAN control the reading of others, and what some can and cannot
say.

Sad indeed.

No, it would not have been an acceptable miracle to a Hebrew audience, but
it was acceptable to the Greeks that wrote the Greek testaments.

Editorial: IMO, Christians hate like hell to consider the above
issues because it casts a shadow of doubt on their precious,
post-325AD, perfect-sacrifice dogma.
?????
Your opinion is bovine excrement. In fact, both events have been
discussed exhaustively in church and in seminaries.
Discussed & still not understood. But then, it's a mystery to believers &
a farce to those that think for themselves.

which wannabe this time johnniiee, the loose lipped paralyzed from the
eyebrows up bleater that hasn't a clue about the subject under discussion,
but pretends he does. That's one way to garner narcissistic supply points.

walksalone who finds it comical when jw tries to pull the old "I know more
than you" act. He implies knowledge that he can not demonstrate, & expects
as it's good enough for him, it must be good enough for everyone else. it
isn't, in either case.

Re: Christ's Return
Post by john w <***@yahoo.com>
Has anyone out there discovered (strictly from having studied the
scriptures, and from having had the leadership of the Holy Spirit) that
Christ returned by 70 a.d., as described in I Thessalonians 4, and as He
described in the gospels?
I don't recall anywhere I've read in the Bible that Jesus or any apostle
said He'd come back by A.D. 70. I don't see that anywhere in I Thess.I
don't
see such a proclamation in the Gospels.
I am confused. Or perhaps you are.

As the Son of God, Jesus certainly must have known that people might
question his divinity, his teachings, his very existence. He was, after all,
omniscient, wasn't he? Why not leave some proof, some brain droppings? What
better proof than writings , documents, in his own hand, if possible, that
clearly and unequivocally demonstrate his existence, his superior knowledge,
his intention for the future, his relationship with his Dad, etc.
I'm sure many Christians will say that he did, and point to the Gospels. But
that's unsatisfactory for any number of reasons.
* First, the Gospels were not written by him. (They weren't written by
Matthew, Mark, Luke and John either, but that's another topic for another
day.) They were written by unknown authors anywhere from 30 to 100 years
after he allegedly died. Why didn't he write his own memoirs?
* Second, they are incomplete. They have little biographical information
in them about his first 30 years, for instance, dwelling on his last three,
and between the four Gospels, they contradict each other in many respects.
Where's an editor when you need one?
* Third, the fact that he was supposedly a carpenter's son, and hence
relatively uneducated, should not have prevented him leaving some evidence
of his own existence. He was god (for god's sake)!
€€ How could he have been God if he was the sole student who attended a
40-day seminar in the Negev that was taught by God ? Also, if Jesus was
God. then was not Jesus Jesus' father ?
Post by Ghamph
He could do anything he
wanted.
€€ He could not revise history.
Post by Ghamph
To point to his apparent illiteracy is a non-starter of an argument
or defense. What's the point of having someone else write his biography,
when an autobiography would have been far more convincing?
So why did he not leave some evidence of his existence? A lock of hair would
be nice. Maybe a photograph? (he could do it, he was GOD after all.)
The obvious answer is.well.obvious, isn't it?
€€ it's obvious to me that it does not add up.

They challenged His deity to His face!
"If you're really the Son of God, come down off that cross!"
"If you're REALLY the Son of God, tell us which of us punched you in
the face."
"If you're REALLY the Son of God, do a miracle for me! I want to
WATCH!" (early voyeurism)

You truly haven't read much of the Bible, have you?
One of His most famous mini-sermons began with heckling.
"Hey, PREACHER! Do we pay taxes, or not?"
(this turned into the mini-sermon where He asked a person in the
audience for a coin)

Your comments indicate -- knowledgeable-- WORLDLY knowledgeable

there? You really aren't there, are you?"

^ ^ ^ Sounds like you have some doubts.

Why not leave some proof, some brain droppings?

Why don't you respect others? How EXACTLY does Christianity harm
YOU? Be specific.
I wonder why you-- such a KNOWLEDGABLE un-believer-- hang out in a
Christian group so much!

Why EXACTLY would Jesus need to write anything down?
He knew (being God, being omniscient-- as you said) that the
apostles would write it all down.
(they may have been taking notes while He preached)
YOU don't know otherwise!
You WANT to THINK otherwise!

knowledge,

Um... in most respects, he did!
It isn't His fault that you choose to not believe!

There are plenty of people smarter than me, smarter than you (MUCH
smarter than YOU), who DO believe.
Shall I list a dozen names of some very smart Christians?

I bet you'd call William J Clinton and Hillary R "pretty smart."
He's an openly-confessing Christian.

I believe the world will agree in 20 years (many already agree) that
Ron Reagan was one of our best, and one of our smartest Presidents.
ANOTHER openly-professing Christian.

Then there are two of the most famous GENERALS in the world, Gen
Colin Powell, and Gen Norman Schwarzkopf, both OUTSPOKEN Christians.

Then we have a dozen astronauts from John Glenn to Col Jim Irwin, to
Gus Grissom (the one whose capsule sank)

I don't know about you, but I'd say astronauts are pretty smart
fellows. Last I heard, one count has it that up to 1/3 of our
astronauts are Christians.
Pretty smart guys, and they're convinced.

What's YOUR problem?

I know judges (Judge Mullian - People's Court)
Judge Joe Brown, Judge Greg Mathis
Judge Maybelline Ephraim

shall I continue?

I know doctors who are Christians. They're pretty smart!
I know lawyers who are. I know nurses who are.
I know engineers who are. I know programmers and technicians who are.

In fact, when you sneer about "stupid, gullible Christians"
you're saying I'm stupid and gullible.

* First, the Gospels were not written by him. (They weren't written by
Matthew, Mark, Luke and John either, but that's another topic for another
day.)
That is not true. We do have evidence that

They were written by unknown authors anywhere from 30 to 100 years

Not true, and it's easy to challenge who wrote the gospels WHEN,
THOUSANDS of years later.

In a thousand years, I wonder if anyone will be able to prove, with
HARD Evidence, that YOU existed.

Unlikely!

. Why didn't he write his own memoirs?

I suppose you could make plans to ask Him.

Perhaps you'd like to take a moment and ask Him now.

* Second, they are incomplete.
In your opinion, which many don't share.

Most Bible scholars-- at least the conservative
theologians/scholars, don't agree.

They'd say-- as I would say-- "we have what we need."
It's a wonder, as old as the Bible is, that we have any documents at
all! That all by itself is a proof of their veracity.

They have little biographical

AGAIN, most scholars don't believe that matters.
Name me any citizen of the 1st century or before, who we have
endless biographical details about.

If we had exhaustive details about Jesus, some might be tempted to
worship places He slept, places He ate His meals. They might want to
worship cups He drank from.

and between the four Gospels, they contradict each other in many respects.
"Many?"
I don't think so. Having read the 4 gospels MANY times over 60
years, I keep looking for these "discrepancies."

They don't exist outside your mind.

* Third, the fact that he was supposedly a carpenter's son, and hence
relatively uneducated, should not have prevented him leaving some evidence
of his own existence.
As a Jewish male, He received the typical temple education, as
evidenced by His ability to get up on Saturday in the Temple, open the
scrolls, and read from the prophets.
He could read, and He knew the language of His people.
If you're going to make fun of a fictional character, making
reference to His inadequacies is not just not classy, it's down right
stupid.

And there is evidence of His existence.

And now, I've given you several paragraphs to show some evidence of
intelligent life.

You haven't.

Sorry! My bad!

I had mistakenly placed you among the intellects.
