Josephus and other contemporaries on Jesus

[RoadRunner79]

The "traditional christian view" is that the parable so closely dovetails with mythology that it proves hes god...that its twoo..twoo...twoo.

Understand, however, that this view is actually agreeing with a mythicist reading of the text - and then adding their silly beliefs as sauce. You believe in the myths. That doesn;t mean that they arent mythological. You simply resent their accurate classification as you feel that it endangers those beliefs. Not all christians are handicapped in this way. I;m not a believer, so I dont have those hangups..and see one of the best stories about the christian god in the whole of the NT, realizing that it doesn;t have to be an ap news report from the gallilean front. Thats not important to the faith...or to the narrative itself.

No more important than there actually being a man upon which all of this was based, or an event..because the story is about god and what he can and will do..not a man and what he did.

I think that you misunderstood what I said. At most your reasoning brings you to it was designed to be that way, and that doesn’t necessarily support the mythicist view. If you think that it is numerologically significant, the you are going to think that it was by design, either by God or by man.

Also I think your latest trolling efforts of your twoo...twoo...twoo (whatever that is) is in conflict with your alluding to being an objective judge of things.
