A bit more of your merciful god.

None at all, but I did put a guy in the Marine Corps that worshiped Ares, so does that make Ares a real god?

Ares would be a demi god, small g. Fallen Angel. The book of Enoch is fascinating.

Thought you and I agreed that the flood was local, not planet-wide?

The Bible identifies nothing of a local flood. A local flood would not have left the planet depopulated with Noah and his cabal to repopulate the planet.

Jesus was a Pharasee.

He was eh? You just keep digging your hole deeper.

 

[Hollie]

It taught a lesson. What was it?

The Christian God is a sociopath.

If the flood tale is just a fable, what other parts of the Bible are mere fable and not historical record?

When Jesus railed at the Pharasees he was railing against the Edomites who were forcibly converted by John Hyrcanus

Exodus, the tower of babel, the wars of Joshua.

Not the way you read the King James Version. The original Hebrew has nothing about a planet-wide flood. You said you don't believe in a planet-wide flood, and neither did one of your teachers. You are either arguing a planet-wide flood or not. Which is it?

Most scholars think he was a Pharasee although there are a few who think he was an Essene. I posted a link.

No. The original author had no knowledge of Jesus or Christians. What did the author wish to teach his community?

Nowhere in your source is a claim that Jesus was a Pharisee, sorry. Jesus was such a good Pharisee that they forced Pilate to kill him eh? No most scholars do not think He was.

Now you are saying there was no flood at all?

Let's go back to the beginning. The author has a story to tell, a lesson to teach. The story's setting is a flood. Tell me about the main character, Noah.

Herod Antipas was indifferent. Jesus was safe in the north around Galilee. Pilate was a low level Roman prelate. He just wanted the Jews to behave and quit fighting each other and the Romans.

Which has nothing to with Jesus being a Pharisee. Try again.

Jesus Was a Pharisee (Seriously. He Was)

At that very hour some Pharisees came and said to him, "Get away from here, for Herod wants to kill you.” Luke 13:31 A few years ago ...

Prove Jesus was a Pharisee. "Most scholars believe He was a Pharisee". No, "most" don't.

When the Temples stood and people lived far away they needed local synagogues to congregate.
