An Alternate Jesus

Haven't we been through this before???? There's only a Christian movement because Paul hijacked the control of the little splinter group led by Jesus' brother(s)....and then warped the message to include non-Jews????

Sheesh...we don't need Family Guy to tell us that.....
 
Jesus

This is something I feel that is best left to the theological rather than historical community. I don't believe in an historical Jesus, although the gospel stories may be based on an obscure prototype.

What if people realized, in one of Jesus' miracles, all he did was this:

Would there still be a (small) Christian movement or would it fade away.

I don't think that Jesus (whether he was historical or not) actually did those miracles, nor do I think that people think he did. Jesus (if he was real) was seen as the Messiah because he told them that God has a special place for those who believe in him.

Thus, I don't think you can do a real AH, because I'm sure the miracles were added to the gospel stories later to appeal to converts from paganism.

Ah, so you don't believe in Siddartha Gautama or Julius Caesar then? Nice to know you're consistent.
