The New Testament was written from around his supposed time a few years after his death and the initial records of events were recorded orally. It doesn't automatically become a myth because the events were stored in a medium that didn't involve paper and ink. Sure it's possible that the account was embellished a little but we can't know exactly to what extent unless we build a time machine.
Quote:Father WHY HAVE you foresaken me - if he was all knowing - he would not have to ask.
Jesus had two natures as God he was all knowing as a man he just the same as us though free from sin.
Quote:If he was part of the ONE GOD - then he WAS the father as well.
Yes but he was also an ordinary man. It's not an easy thing to understand but this is because it's something that goes beyond what we can comprehend.
Quote:Now - when you consider human created myths - remember that he was NOT supposed to be human
Yes he was supposed to be human. You have no theological understanding of Christianity at all.
Quote:So a young character would have NOT been believed - and likely would have been stoned to death for a number of things he did.
Or crucified? That may have actually happened.
Quote:along with the fact that the christ MYTH could NOT have fulfilled the prophecies of the messiah in the bible already there - is why the jews did not embrace xtianity - and still do not.
It could be they got a few details of the Messiah right and few details wrong. They did make a number of failed prophecies but when it comes to Jesus they made a good number of hits. Certainly he fits with the prophesy of the suffering Messiah and he did bring the Pagans and Gentiles to the Jewish God.
Come all ye faithful joyful and triumphant.
