[/quote] I don't interact with you. I witness interaction as it happens. I am not connected to a foundation. I am foundation. It doesn't exactly surround as much as everything rises within it and falls within it. But it just is and I am That. You are too. But not the you that is separate from the me as we, these apparent entities appear to be interacting. There is only God. [/quote]
Original Message
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.
