The Oil Drum

But from your tone, I know I am talking to a closed mind on this.

I have an intellectual passion for thruth and strongly feel it's unethical to lie, nor do i desire to subscribe to one.

Look at Paul’s writing carefully, without historicist preconceptions. He never attributes sayings to Jesus, but to God or to Scripture.

Hebrew chapter 10, verse 5.

Therefore, when Christ came into the world, he said:
"Sacrifice and offering you did not desire,
but a body you prepared for me;
6with burnt offerings and sin offerings
you were not pleased.
7Then I said, 'Here I am—it is written about me in the scroll—
I have come to do your will, O God.' "

You probably have another interpretation of this verse, and several others. Also, i don't see what rationale you have for rejecting the gospels as a historical source. At least Luke's writing style is very detailed and exact, with lot of (unnecessary) historical references and facts.

Perhaps you should do some critical reading of Luke, not just read books written by people whom made up their minds prior to the investigation?

I have never met any scholars (or non-scholars) subscribing to the Jesu-myth theory without also being an atheist and strongly opposed to christian culture.
