Bible Lesson: The Death of Jesus an Evolving Myth

[buddabobblehead]

It appears to me that the inconsistencies of the bible record are due to the history of passed down religious belief, as an oral tradition, where there are inconsistencies in peoples rendition of what happened and various other specific details when it comes to the recording of spiritual and religious events. The rendition of the myth probably varied from area to area. It was also a common practice to take other spiritual stories from previous religions and belief systems. Ex. the birth to a virgin, crucifixion, death and resurrection are not at all new events that just so happened to occur with the Jesus story. Most christian's dont realize that most if not all of the events that occurred in Jesus's supernatural life, can be found in ancient pagan religions. Same old, same old. - Inconsistencies are just one chink in the armor of the 'holy book'
