Richard Carrier
#23
RE: Richard Carrier
Quote:This theory holds that the earliest Christians did not conceive of Christ as a man who had recently walked around in Galilee. Rather, he was a purely celestial deity whom early Christians experienced in visions, mystical revelations (comparable to what we now call "channeling"), and esoteric modes of interpreting the Hebrew Scriptures. Jesus was a specific type of divine intermediary between the wholly numinous spiritual realm and the earthly realm, most commonly referred to as the Logos.

Well, LPS, it's your time and you can waste it however you like but this is Drippy you're talking to.

It's like trying to explain electronics to your dog. Except the dog does not a vested interest in denying what you are saying. Drippy - and all the rest - do.
