It stands to reason, simply logically, that if Jesus was born of a virgin, and was a great teacher, and lived a remarkable life, Paul would have deferred to Jesus teachings, and talked about his life, but he didn't even mention them. And Paul would have mentioned the virgin birth, but he didn't... Why not?
The "kingdom of god" back then was an independent Israeli state. Jesus was a kingdom of god zealot, against Roman rule, and they killed him. There were tons of people claiming to be a messiah, tons of people looking for a messiah, so it was a ripe time for a messiah.
So once everyone was long gone, like a hundred years after Jesus was dead, or so, they wrote the Jesus story, virgin birth and teachings, minimal teachings, really, and nothing really special. They say he was born of a virgin and all that, just like similar stories that had been told of other deities in other cultures.
Christianity is a false religion, it always has been.  |
I don` think it`s made up story. I think it is mis used story . People ( majority) tend to live life on automatic mode without research for their own good. Because of that, many lies were placed in the name of Christ and Christianity...
Look at this at this way;
Christ means Messiah, meaning Saviour( holy)
Christian means Saviour too.
Means if some one is real Christian , he/she is holy in their life resembling Christ and God.
How many people are like that???
Few .
Why?
They are not genuine and honest since that is one of the main things.
You can never be one with Father and Christ if you are not one with them in spirit of love, truth, honesty justice and wisdom.
You can call yourself whatever you want, do many deeds but be not surprised that God and Christ will not know you... Why?
Since you missed the core point...
Christ said: " depart from me, I never knew you! "
Many claim but also many does not know Christ and all that he represent.
