You said that it was written by uneducated goat-herds and that it was
full of 'war stories' and not the literal truth. Several times. Have
you changed your mind again?
no, no, and no.
I said the stories were the word of God written in the hand of man, and since
the "writers" were sheep herders, the type of words used would be those in the
vocabulary of a sheep herder.
I specifically said that some stories may be literally true and some not. And
no one knows for sure which ones are.
And I never changed my mind.

Well....THAT says it all. If "no one knows for sure which ones are
'literally true' and" which ones are not, then how do you know that
story about Peter and the gang standing around the firs is true?
Jesus may not have even said "Feed my sheep." Considering that Jesus
knew Peter was gonna shoot-off his big mouth in just a few hours and
curse his name in denying him, Jesus could have ACTUALLY said, "Peter
do you love me? Well I don't believe you because you are a damn liar
and the whole world is gonna know what a fraud you are."
If as you say, "no one knows for sure which ones are" literally true,"
then THAT could have been what actually happened. You have no
argument otherwise.
Thanks for letting us know that you really don't know.

So does my friend who has thought for THIRTY YEARS that God was going
to heal her eyes...so she put off going to the doctor until she is
almost blind.
So does my friend who thought Jesus was going to return...way back in
1973, so she has not bothered to fund any type of retirement plan.
She is 65 and has no retirement income.

buddhist, who doesn't believe anything..

Jesus' return has been prophesized for 2000 years now. One of the expectant
signs is the collapse of Europe into atheism.

Not really... like I said, believing that he existed has nothing to do

The name "Jesus" is not only a man's name, but an identification of the greatest
man in the history of the world.
It's called Communication 101.

It's still opinion.
