Wouldn't they have invented a wife and children for Jesus himself, then? At least a marriage?

You are continually misinterpreting me. No wonder since you are an (in-)famous judaizer of old de-judaizers with zero support among true scholars.

If Jesus comes from a perfect pious Jewish family (= with many sons and possibly davidic lineage) then are confuted the original Gnostic apostles who preached that Jesus is the son of an alien god (not the god of the Jews).

The entire process behind the Gospels is called "re-judaization" of Jesus: a new Jewish-Christian exegesis of the OT scriptures against the original Gnostic anti-Jewish exegesis of the scriptures.

You are an imbecile. That's the most essential thing to know about you. Since I remind you of that every day I am not misrepresenting you in any way, shape or form. You are not a scholar, you are not a thinker. You are a self-centered, self-serving imbecile. Your "theories" aren't theories at all but desperate daydreams born from misrepresentation, misunderstanding and a low intellect. I imagine you as an ugly troll furiously scribbling under a dark, wet bridge. Go away.

If this your so negative view of me may help you to go away from me and from my thread, then go away, please. :goodmorning:

I think those are admirable things to investigate, and propose and/or defend; but I don't think you can or should do that with a series of posts of cherry-picked single verses, lines, or phrases.

How can you doubt now that Jesus didn't obey to creator god (demiurge)?
Giuseppe , remember Luke 23:34, Then said Jesus, Father[alien god], forgive them; for they know not what they do.


Also that religious people find it very easy to call anyone a sinner and that sceptic people find it very easy to call anyone a fool. :)

For example: e: Impulsore Chresto a Christian interpolation?
There is no need of translating it, iskander. It is already known (and his author is a fool Catholic apologist of my knowledge).

I just realised: "Be fruitful..."

What do fruit do? They hang from 'a tree'... literally hanging in the sky! With its 'brothers' and 'sisters'!
