: Uh? Let's Go Met A Four? : : : : Among their pronouncements: : -There was no resurrection : -There was no virgin birth : -The 3 wise men and star etc is a fable designed to fulfill prophesies of the Talmud. : -Jesus was probably born in Nazareth : -Jesus had no interest in forming a church : -Most of the Gospels were heavily edited by later authors to conform to : what the Church needed in order to control people's lives (8s and 1s?) : -Most of the miracles were added to compete with very similar : 'pagan' (Greek) hero feats. : FYI the J Seminar is composed of about 75 or so phd level bible scholars : or ancient language scholars from the academic world (specifically; not : affiliated with any churches....too dogmatic). They vote on what Jesus : *really!!! ;-}* said and did, and have produced a book "The Fifth Gospel," : by Robert Funk to document their sorcery. A good intro to all of this is : "Honest to Jesus" by the same author. : One of their discussion topics and postulates was 'God is a metaphor' that : needs updating. : I doubt this is a very high stakes topic for most 5's...or maybe it is....anyway : I'd be interested in anyone's views.
