Christians, would you have saved Jesus, if you had he chance?

[Pat Mustard]

Or far more plausibly, Yeshua was a man who either deluded himself or was deluded by another into thinking he was god, and as he was dying his delusion left him.

Or even more plausibly still, there was no crucifixion and the story was made up seventy years or more later when the creators of jesusism were trying to codify it.

When would you date 1 Thessalonians?

I wouldn't. But biblical "scholars" reckon about 50s ad, written by a man who never met Yeshua and was supposed (by the writing attributed to him) to be at loggerheads theologically with theJerusalem sect.

Though the biggest reason why I say no crucifixion was that Yeshua was convicted under sanhedric law, which proscribed stoning or hanging not crucifixion, and Rome was unlikely to intervene because a minor theological dispute involving non-citizens wasn't something worth angrying up a very prickly people.
