“Folklore” is defined as the traditional beliefs, legends, customs, etc., of a people; and this better applies to the NT than regarding it as reliable history...let alone inspired by God. “Evidence for Jesus is weaker than you might think. The more sophisticated antiquities scholarship becomes, the more it becomes clear that the origins of Christianity are controversial, convoluted, and not very coherent. “Originally posted by 37818 View Post

A tired rehash of rehashed claims, some of which have been refuted - others being simply a matter of jaundiced readings.Originally posted by Tassman View Post1Cor 15:34 Come to your senses as you ought and stop sinning; for I say to your shame, there are some who know not God.

Folklore is oral transmission of a story. Once something is written down, it is no longer oral. What proof do you have what was written in the accounts was nothing more than folklore before being written down?Originally posted by Tassman View Post

The Jesus story was not written down until 40 to 80+ years after the "wondrous events" by non eyewitnesses in a credulous age. There is no good reason to think that the accounts were not heavily embellished by believers with a view to converting others to the cause.Originally posted by 37818 View PostFolklore is oral transmission of a story.

I see. Readings that disagree with your presuppositions are "jaundiced"?Originally posted by tabibito View Post

One would hope that in the age of modern science there would be less credulity than previously.Originally posted by Doug Shaver View Post“He felt that his whole life was a kind of dream and he sometimes wondered whose it was and whether they were enjoying it.” - Douglas Adams.Comment
