[quote:Dr VIP 1:MV8zMjcwNzMwXzU4NjYyNjczX0U5N0IzOTRC] I want to deeply apologize for all the mean shit and the inappropriate stuff I said. I want to thank you for creating the opportunity allowing me to have an insight of experience to understand more deeply the issue of absolute/relative - good/bad truth/lie. thank you, I genuinely feel this made me a lot smarter in my spiritual mystical journey, and that divine providence has ordained that we should have this discussion for this sake. the insights you have gained... be whatever they are.

Modern archaeology and textual analysis have cast serious doubt on the historical accuracy of the core of the OT. But as myths of a glorious past, it proved powerful in its ability to shape the consciousness of a nation. This same desire for unifying the disparate groups of early Christians would have also been a motivation of the NT, despite the lack of historical evidence for Jesus.
