Jesus : The Early years

[Jackie]

Because i've read the bible

There's your first fucking mistake.

I wouldn't put it like that, many atheists are atheists because they did read it.

I think the mistake is swallowing first, not the actual reading.

Praise Jesus, the Bible is restored !!!

Dripshit will tell you that you have to shove your head up your ass and read it backwards in the original Greek so you get the proper context.

What can I say?  He's an idiot.

The idiot's problem is that he never read anything else!

[vorlon13]

He endorsed Luke's version.

It's a start !!!


Praise Jesus !!!

How do you know this? It doesn't say that in the Bible, so why are you making this shit up?

To all those who asked this question, you would think one person asking would be enough but I guess your insecurity overwhelms you at times.

 Now the answer, if you had cared to read instead of copying other posts only one would have had to ask.

 Luke 1: 1-4  Inasmuch as many have undertaken to compile a narrative of things that have been accomplished among us, just as those from the beginning were eyewitnesses and ministers of the word have delivered them to us, it seemed good to me also, having followed all things closely for some time past, to write an orderly account for you most excellent Theophilus, that you may have certainty concerning the things you have been taught.

Luke tells us that he learned from those who were there from the beginning and Mary was certainly there at the beginning. For people who claim to be logical you all sure have a hard time proving it, it is logical Luke asked those in the life of Jesus what happened and only Mary could have told him of the earliest years.

No, actually it doesn't say that. It says that because others had done so, it inspired him to write down the conclusions of his investigations. So it neither says that he interviewed people who were there from the very beginning, nor does it follow that, even if he had, that Mary was necessarily among those he interviewed. You're simply reading your own prejudices into Luke's account. If this is the sort of incompetent reading that passes for "study" in your mind, then you have no reason to boast that you know this or that from reading the bible, because obviously you don't.

G-C's reading comprehension is shockingly low, Jorg.  Probably from wasting his life reading nothing but bullshit.


In his case, he sees what he wants to see rather than what is there.  Sad, really.  But that's what happens when you waste your life on mythology.

Dude, my first post in this thread quotes this passage. And no, it doesn't say what you claim it says. You're making shit up. Admit it.

[CapnAwesome]

I thought he wanted 0-12.  The missing years aren't in the new testament so theres nothing to ask about what the writers knew or how they knew it.

Correct! I am looking for 0-12.

Maybe by talking to Mary? Or from the apostles talking to Jesus himself. It's a funny question though, since its a nonsense story. Why there would be missing years seems a more relevant question.

So, Mary told Luke this? :

 "In the sixth month of Elizabeth’s pregnancy, God sent the angel Gabriel to Nazareth, a town in Galilee, 27 to a virgin pledged to be married to a man named Joseph, a descendant of David"

She was the eyewitness?

If these people could get Mary's story down while she was alive, why not get JC's words down first-person? She would have been 47-53 when he "died", and in those days a poor person would be ready to kick it at that age.
