A good case against God
RE: A good case against God
Jeffonthenet Wrote:Mark is not the only source, and since you disagree with scholarship you ought to give serious evidence to back up your claim.
I have the evidence, which also deconverted me.

Quote: The letters of Paul, the other synoptics, John,
The other two synoptics are based on Mark and therefore not witness accounts. John is also not a witness account (written in 3rd person like Matthew). These 3 Gospels took Mark the wrong way and it's evident. Matthew for example has bits where the author clearly misunderstood what Mark was conveying.

Paul on the other hand seems to be preaching about a spiritual Christ. He doesn't mention anything about the life of Jesus, parables or miracles. It's actually not a surprise because the early Christians were divided into 6 categories about what they believed. These beliefs ranged from a fully spiritual Christ to a fully human and divine Christ.

Quote: and other sources such as Josephus, Tacitus, Suetonious,
It has been shown time and time again that for whatever reason these references aren't true.

Quote: and even the gnostic gospel of Thomas
Thomas is a Gospel of pure sayings which makes it even less useful than the canonical Gospels.

Quote:are used as sources by historical Jesus scholars.
Indeed they are used, but to no effect.

Quote: And I still don't see how this is relevant to the point we were discussing.

It's the most relevant topic for determining if your experiences are genuine. Without a Biblical Jesus it means your experiences can't even be plausibly genuine. No Jesus = no God experience.
"It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it" ~ Aristotle
