Jesus makes the Old Testament old hat?

[Vicki Q]

For the Early Church, Christianity was Judaism. The story within which they were living was the Jewish story, which had reached a climax and a new phase through the events around Jesus

You do understand, I hope, that there is no evidence aside from the tale which was cobbled together centuries later for that story. Right?

I'm a little puzzled by what you're referring to as 'the tale' and 'that story'. If you're suggesting that the historical Jesus is no more than a fiction invented centuries after it was supposed to have happened, then my policy on discussing mythical Jesus applies. Which, BTW, is the same policy as for 9-11 conspiracy theories, moon landing fake theories and creationist 'science'.

The Loch Ness monster isn't on that that list only because I'm hoping to go there this year, and I'd rather not let sense detract from the visit.
