Has anyone set up a religion entirely fixed to chronology and various chronologies (i.e. 6000 AM, 490 years from Daniel, and "under Pilate") under a scenario where none of the things described in the narrative were historical? Yes! The Book of Mormon does exactly that. It keeps dating its...

Please show me this relevancy and it's similarity to early Christianity's year 6000 AM, 490 years from Daniel and "under Pilate" while maintaining that the messianic figure never existed. Well, do you believe that there is another world named Shambhala and that it has a human king ruling ...

A nefarious inner circle of evil men made up a lie. But such things keep happening in religion. Consider Mormonism, Mahayana Buddhism, and Yogi Bhajan's Sikhism, for example. All of them were based upon charismatic individuals who claimed, falsely, to have anciernt and true traditions which they ha...

The chronology is also essential to the Kalacakra Tantra.

When I look at the gospel there's a chronology. Whether it is the Marcionite gospel or the Catholic gospel. It's not just a "novel." There is an overarching "chronology" where Jesus's appearance fits. The chronology isn't superfluous. It's essential. As such it's not like all th...

But my point was the chronology in Christianity is different and doesn't exist anywhere else. That is a point which is obvious and has no bearing upon the issue of how accurate the gospel(s) were/are - because people can devise fictitous or real stories and situate them along all manner of chronolo...

Just show me an example in Buddhism where: 1. a chronology was developed from some fixed point in history 2. a "messianic figure" is said to have appeared within that chronology and predicted from that chronology (i.e. prophesies, predictions, fortune telling) 3. and where that "mess...

How Ironic that you insist upon my providing citations to books or articles So you don't really have an argument. Just a bunch of links to general information about topics related to Buddhism. You are either lying or revealing that you did not understand my purpose in writing. This post Cite some d...

Russell Gmirkin's theory is a subject of academic debate and discussion among scholars in the fields of biblical studies and ancient Near Eastern history. While some scholars find his arguments convincing and plausible, others have criticized his methodology and conclusions. Gmirkin's theory, which...

Where is the evidence that Buddhism (a) had a developed chronology from the beginning of creation and (b) calculated the arrival of a "messiah figure" to that pre-existent chronology and then (c) this arrival involved a wholly fictitious person who's legacy was wholly made up. I see no ev...
