remember jesus is the sun and satan represents darkness. the sun is in an endless cycle peaking during tbe day and being tempted back into hiding at night by evil. im of course speaking using terms the ancients would have assumed where true of how the world'worked. use the same approach and the gospels all make sense. there are no miracles, most of that text is simply a story about the starsand the zodiac.

mary is not historical. the bible says very little of her. most of what czn be extracted from the nt about mary would probably result in little more than a ifty words. the lineages back to david are simple made up. read and compare'mt v. lk, they arey wrong. count the genrations the numbers are very different, when they should be approximately the same. given david supposedlytwy livedabout 1000bce, simple math shows'everyone would have had his blood after one thousand years. given the insular and customs npt to marry marry not jews together w/ limited travel most jewsmarried otherjews. itwoyld have beenamiraclenot to have been related to king david.
do a search there are articles that after eit hundred years genghis khan s dna can be found in 7% or was it 10% of all people in all asia. this is shown by scientists today. again the math shows after say 40 generations everyone in israel was relatedto david.'2 ^ 40 is a very big number, againsta population of 1 million. the fact the number is so much smaller shows people married against others who were related at some stage. while this might not have been a sistwr or first cousin they were marrying distant cousins.
i watched a vid on youtube about genetics, and the prof stated most people marry a sixth cousin on average. this is of course changing rapidly in modern times due to wtransport.

yipu might want to also check the historicity of nazareth. it was unknmown even the fourth century until constantines mum, queen helen founded it. she personally decided whwre it was because nobody in the are had ever neard of it. the whole invention of nazareth was because the gospel writers misunderstoood nazarene as a place not as a religious order. for example samson is a nazarene, the town is never mentioned by anyone in the ot. outsidethe gospels it too is not mentioned. paul never wurtes about jesus home town or even mentions it in passing. the gospels were written in greek, the misread the septuigent and got this very wrong. archeology itself has not beenable to verify nazareth existed. some have claimed to find a small cave wor burial site and thats it. no town or hamlet and even that small claim is disputed.
given the motivations to invwnt and controla religion one has to ask why they are trusting the mother of the emperer who made xianity official but he himself did not believe. caesar was at one stage head of the religious beaucracy in rome. other famous creations that were immediately accepted included serapis. we have documentation about who and why this god was created. gods are great tools that rich kings and priests can use to brainwash and scare dumb illiterate masses.

qumran hardly is a proof for jesus. he is not mentioned there. the teacher of righteous may have parallels but he has many differences. the writings in qumran are most around and before the times of jesus. these simple facts are why no xian chuech ever quotres or publishes these writings because they are extremely embarassing. we can see the book of enoch quoted in james and other places, and yet churches like thw wts never publish this book, simply because it shows jewish religious writings to be stupid and pagan. no one would take a booo, serious that claims to have mega giants miles high who raped birdsa and other weird atuff.
