Don't know, think it's arrogant to claim one knows when one doesn't, and it doesn't matter to me whether he was or he wasn't.
So your saying one can't know and if one supposes he knows, he's arrogant.
As a follower of Christ,as I think you allege, should'nt it matter, and if does'nt matter to you, how do you reconcile your claim of being christian.
I assume that most if not all of the stories we have about him are mythological in nature rather than historical, because given their content, the time of their writing and their similarity to other mythological stories, that seems like a reasonable thing to do.
So would you say that the other ancient writings such as,Pliny, Plato. Lucretius, Demosthenes, Herodotus,Aristotle, Homer (Iliad), Caesar etc. are mythical and unreliable and probably fabricated.
Aside from that, the truth of Christianity is not in the believing in a history or ontology to me
The scritpures speak of the past present and future concerning man and the things of God,.......is this not history.
According to scripture, Christ is the epitome of truth among other things, so where do we find truth, besides a personal encounter with God. If it's not in the ancient writings of scirpture,God's word, which in essence are actually history.
What is the truth about Christianity???
