What I am saying is that the historical evidence for Jesus is incredibly small for such a person. To have only two passages to consider, leads one to consider there were none at all, when there is plenty of evidence of (1) later tampering of texts, to promote Christianity (2) many, many other minor religious figures around the "Palestine" area during that time, who are mentioned by the chroniclers of the day. Yet they do not mention Jesus of Nazareth. How about Mithra, who was born of a virgin around 600 BC, and whose birthday was celebrated December 25th? Mithra was slain upon a cross in Persia to make atonement for humankind and take away the sins of the world. Mithra celebrated "Last Supper" with his 12 disciples. The words of St Paul, "They drank of that spiritual rock, and that rock was Christ" are borrowed from the Mithraic scriptures, where Mithra struck the rock and water came forth. The Mithraists observed weekly sabbath days, and celebrated the Eucharist by eating wafers maked with a cross. Do some research on the more than 20 Savior/Sun gods who were said to be born of a virgin, and sacrificed to save humankind.

That's Equivalent To Saying.... >>I will look at your information later, but my guess is my understanding of your point that there is no historical evidence supporting Jesus (is that what you are saying?) will need revision. >> ...."there is no historical evidence supporting God." History EXISTS in the eternal now of the present moment for each one of us. If NOW didn't exist then history wouldn't be possible. When viewed from a spiritual perspective - absence the restrictions of space and time,. history becomes a living, breathing, connected, threaded pathway wich illuminates the eternal NOW more and more via infinite levels and layers of meaning. God writes history. This is God's creation....... His Kingdom arrived back on this earth when Jesus, our Lord, died and was raised again. The conjunctive Human was once again connected to the Divine. This was the final outcome of the Ressurection and the Glorification of Christ. No other figure in world history is recorded to have died and later appeared on this earth after death to living, breathing human beings. The Glorification was the final act that re-established the beginning of the time of the Kingdom of Heaven once again here on this earth. The spiritual world was once again connected directly to this world. The Old Representative Church was no longer necessary. Man could have immediate, direct conjunction with our ONE Lord God in Heaven Jesus Christ. Swedenborg writes at length about all this. He writes about how the Hells which have risen to the level of impacting, darkening and clouding even the realm of Heaven itself were pushed back down to the place where His order could once again begin to assert itself here in this world. The time of the prophets had passed for there was no longer a need for prophecy for the Kingdom of Heaven had arrived and has been operating directly with ZERO/NO mediation from mankind ever since. Mankind's religions want us to believe otherwise of course, but all Christian Churches have thoroughly been consummated long, long ago. This New Era which represents this Fifth Golden Age arrived on April 29, 1979. That date is part of a mathematical matrix of truth which connects/threads all the way back to the birth and death and resurrection of the Christ. And every birthday before and after of EVERY individual is part of this ongoing connection/conjunction with the birth, growth and development of this infinite Body of Christ for this consciousness of Love knows no limits or boundaries. Peace. Light! ONE - LOVE! GO!!
