Nice recant on your original definitive statement of co-equal.Flann 5 wrote:I don't claim or pretend to understand the incarnation Bishop. Clearly it involves certain self imposed and necessary limitations. So as a human baby his knowledge would be necessarily restricted and this statement about not knowing the time of the end arises from his speaking as a human in time, I imagine.Gnostic Bishop wrote:Jesus said --- Only the Father knows the time of the end.
So much for co-equal.
Maybe not. I don't claim to understand the trinity or the working of the mind of God. How could I?Who's he? The evil that we find within ourselves? Is there some gnostic equivalent apotheosis where the only devil you will ever know is you, and you discover this by gnosis?Gnostic Bishop wrote:Repent or get thee behind me Satan.

In a 2011 review of the state of modern scholarship, Bart Ehrman (a secular agnostic) wrote: "He certainly existed, as virtually every competent scholar of antiquity, Christian or non-Christian, agrees" B. Ehrman, 2011 Forged : writing in the name of God ISBN 978-0-06-207863-6. page 285
Robert M. Price (an atheist who denies the existence of Jesus) agrees that this perspective runs against the views of the majority of scholars: Robert M. Price "Jesus at the Vanishing Point" in The Historical Jesus: Five Views edited by James K. Beilby & Paul Rhodes Eddy, 2009 InterVarsity, ISBN 028106329X page 61
Michael Grant (a classicist) states that "In recent years, 'no serious scholar has ventured to postulate the non historicity of Jesus' or at any rate very few, and they have not succeeded in disposing of the much stronger, indeed very abundant, evidence to the contrary." in Jesus: An Historian's Review of the Gospels by Michael Grant 2004 ISBN 1898799881 page 200
Richard A. Burridge states: "There are those who argue that Jesus is a figment of the Church’s imagination, that there never was a Jesus at all. I have to say that I do not know any respectable critical scholar who says that anymore." in Jesus Now and Then by Richard A. Burridge and Graham Gould (Apr 1, 2004) ISBN 0802809774 page 34

Hi Bishop.Gnostic Bishop wrote:To believe in the Jesus of the bible, one has to believe that a God who is said to be all powerful, has to use a human to reproduce.
Quite the contradiction. So much for omnipotence.
We would have to see God coveting Mary, another mans wife, and cuckolding Joseph. Those are God sinning.
Not only does that negate the idea of the messiah being of the line of David, even as he never existed, if also makes Jesus a bastard son and a half breed chimera God.
Way too much garbage for any thinking and moral person to swallow.
Because we do not have a theology that gives us the mainstream garbage religions we now have.Flann 5 wrote:Hi Bishop.Gnostic Bishop wrote:To believe in the Jesus of the bible, one has to believe that a God who is said to be all powerful, has to use a human to reproduce.

You are as wound up as ever,I see. The fact that David existed is indicated in this very thread that you started, in the article on archaeology that I linked. Do you read replies to your posts on your thread?
As for the rest, I think that even those who don't believe in the biblical God can see the inherent fallacies in your assertions and hardly need me to point them out.
You really need to ask yourself why you are so hostilely fixated on a being who you claim to believe is non-existent?
If we unthinking immoral persons believe this garbage we have the right to do so even if you don't like it.
You can believe your Gnostic "Christianity" but I don't lose any sleep over it or feel the need to incessantly rail against it.
It's quite irrelevant to me.
After years of sounding the alarm to politicians and the media, yesterday’s official confirmation that teachers in at least one Louisiana school district use the Book of Genesis in public school science classrooms affirms what activist Zack Kopplin had been warning about since he was a junior in high school: Bobby Jindal’s “science education” law had nothing to do with better understanding science — and everything to do with promoting evangelical Christianity.
