Jesus learned his wisdom from the Buddhists?

Firstly, I'm not suffering. Just posting. Secondly a deity or in your case a demi-god, like Jesus, was all knowing. Which meant he knew it all. Which meant there was nothing he didn't know. Which meant teaching his would've been futile.

Hercules wasn't all-knowing . . .

No. I don't find it odd at all. Everything that's in the Bible is all that's necessary to know.

I'm not sure if it makes me more sad or frightened that people like you exist.

Just like with the dinosaurs. They are mentioned in Genesis 1:20-21 by the way . . .21-"And God proceeded to create the great sea monsters"

All dinosaurs are, by definition, land dwelling creatures.

That's cause he came from a fantastical and mythological pagan god from Greece whom was only the God of thunder. (and the God of Gods) but still...

Athena was smarter that Zeus was. She was the God(dess) of wisdom

Then you had Metis whom was the Goddess of and thought. She was smarter than Zeus was too. So Zeus wasn't all knowing if others knew more than he did. And therefore, and much less, Hercules.

There is NO way of knowing that "your" god is not mythological. Your belief in god and the bible is an act of faith, not fact. You might be right, you might be wrong, it can not be proven either way.

But, as I asked before, do you not find it perplexing at all that many religions and myths that existed before christianity have the same stories?

Your argument that Jesus was all knowing is:

a) Jesus is a god or demi-god
b) a god or demi-god is all knowing

I gave you Hercules (a demi-god) who wasn't all knowing which throws some doubt on the legitimacy of your argument. And yeah, Zeus was the God of all Gods, thunder and lightening were symbolic of his power just as Miracles were symbolic of Yahweh's power.

minor pc lapse there..

Do not be sad or scared cause of my existence or beliefs. I'm not sad or scared of you and you beliefs..

And dinosaurs were land dwelling creatures in the same way the massive sea creatures that coexisted with dinosaurs were sea dwellers.

By the way, Jesus was not a diety, the whole point of the story is that he was a man, subject to man's temptations and desires.

The problem is, is that your comparing mere mortal teachers and teachings and earthly thought to those of a demi-god. There is no comparison.

And of course i meant the OT. But i should'a specified that. My bad. And he learned it (the OT) well? He didn't have learn it. He is the Word.

And i've never heard of Jesus killing a child so i can't comment on that.

And no, i wouldn't worship you if you said you were "I AM" because "you're not". Jesus is. And He's proved it time and time again. And that's my belief. And you have your non-beliefs.

And what i said does make sense. Jesus is a heavenly being. He was a demi-God. The King of kings.

You have proved nothing. All you have done is stated your belief.

That's right, a god or a demi-god is all knowing if He comes from an all knowing source.

Would you consider yourself all knowing if you came from Nike the goddess of strength, speed, and victory. You'd be a demi-god yes, and most likely supreme in those areas maybe, but all knowing?, no.

And it's (about) 5 pm.

peace..

Christianity rips off stories from Buddhism and other religions as well as adopting themes from greek/roman/egyptian and norse mythology.

Back in the day when a travel heard a good yarn, they'd make it apply to their own religion.

Doesn't anyone question all the similar stories that you find in various religions?

Anyone?

Don't answer him. He'll start chanting again. 😂

I personally believe Jesus and Buddha are one and the same, just pretending to be one of us to steer us in the right direction

A common belief in some parts...

The thing about spirituality is that because we're scared of it, we cling to the supernatural stories in religion rather than looking at the truth and seeing how precise nature acts. It's quite ironic really.
