Did Jesus want to create a poli-theism religion?

[Jehanne]

You claimed that it "was not a historical conclusion", and my point in response is that, sometimes, absence of evidence is evidence of absence.

Funny, I can't find a post where I said what you quoted me as saying...

You stated, "It’s a literary criticism, not an historic one." All the canonical Gospels, along with the Gospel of Thomas, are historical documents, in that they contain historical truths about Jesus of Nazareth, a human being. The mid 2nd-century non-canonical Gospels are literary documents, in that they do not contain historical information about Jesus.
