It's both.So we agree that the purpose of each book is theology, not history.
He is exactly who he claims to be, however, he is not who others claim he is.
I did answer it. Go back and read what I wrote. No one believes the Santa Claus narrative is true.You did not answer my question. I asked who was responsible for the conspiracy and fraud surrounding Santa Claus. I await your answer.
You are side stepping the question. I asked you about the consequences of these accounts being true or untrue. You are afraid to lean into your conspiracy theory. Don't be. Lean into it.If all the sources agree, that would be a case of multiple attestation.
In biblical studies, the criterion of multiple attestation is a tool used to determine if certain sayings or actions of Jesus in the New Testament are from the Historical Jesus. It is also known as the criterion of independent attestation or the cross-section method. The criterion states that a passage is more likely to be authentic if it appears in two or more independent sources. The more independent witnesses that report an event or saying, the better.All the sources report that Jesus was crucified so it is pretty clear that event is as historically accurate as we can be. On the other hand, the two birth narratives are not so their historical accuracy it probably very poor. Where do the reports of the miracles fall?
If you ask a Left winger if abortion should be outlawed, they will respond that it should not because we need a separation of church and state.I've understood all of the above since childhood--fifth grade (age 10) to be exact. I am addressing those who think citizens who are also people of faith should not be involved in issues such as abortion, "wokeness", gathering other church members to vote for a specific candidate due to their political positions. I've read many times from those who believe churches should be taxed by governments because they do take a position on an issue or support a particular candidate. The faithful have just as much right to be heard as any other protester based on the fact we are also citizens. In fact--according to our faith--we have a duty to be heard.
