Some ONE didn't.
Christian mythology developed over centuries. No one person, or one group of people at any specific time were responsible as far as I can see.
Christian mythology has never stopped growing and changing.
Quote: It must be in one of these..Matthew/Mark/Luke/John as those are the only scriptures which tell about Jesus when he was alive.
Actually,they tell us nothing for sure. I have never seen any credible evidence that the entire New Testament is anything more than the mythology built around a person who may or may not have existed.
Yes I agree.
I think it is all Greek mythology as Greeks had many Gods, one being Zeus who had a son with an earthling virgin. One of the Greeks characters even died and rose on the third day. There was a large Greek community living in Judea at that time and it is feasible that Jesus was introduced as the mythological son to the relatively new invisible God.
