Yet another empty statement. You are getting angry. Why? I am only confronting the sweeping statements you are making. This thread will probably get locked, but if you want to lay out in a logical, calculated manner why such a belief doesn't make sense, then I will respond with logic as I have up until this point.... but something tells me you won't repspond in that way...Originally Posted by Psychotron
Not so much a getting back to you as it was a note on the context of that. The entire "theory", and I will admit it is a theory, behind Paul having not known a physical Jesus existing in the human form is that when the case presents itself for him to use the life of Jesus as an example he doesn't, rather he uses the parallel that Jesus' life follows from the old testament. Read the book the Jesus Puzzle if you want to understand that quote, I don't remember what page it came from.
Paul surely referenced the physical life of Jesus. You should consider the crap you read before you call the Bible a piece of crap. To say you could write something better is a ridiculous statement. If you want to make such bold statements as you have, you should probably think a bit more before you type.
As to Paul referencing Jesus' physical life...
Paul made specific claims that Jesus had a physical birth (Gal. 4:4); was an Israelite (Rom. 9:5; Gal. 3:16); was of the tribe of David (Rom. 1:3); had a brother by the name of James (Gal. 1:19); was poor (2 Cor. 8:9); ministered among the Jews (Rom. 15:8); had twelve disciples (1 Cor. 15:5); instituted a memorial supper for His disciples (1 Cor. 11:23–27); was crucified, buried, and rose again; and was seen by a great number of people after His physical resurrection (1 Cor. 1:23; 15:4–8; 2 Cor. 13:4; Gal. 3:1, 13).
