Ok well thats an entirely different posistion then.
But if there are no economic benefits...there should be NONE.

I'd just say bullshit, but which prophesis were those again?
Maybe this "failure to see" explains a lot ot things.

Isaiah 52:13 to 53:12.
It such an accruate description of Jesus that some Jewish sects have taken in out of the Bible.
Psalm 16:10-11
Psalm 22:7-8
Psalm 78:1-3
Micah 5:2
Zechariah 12:10
Zechariah 13:1-7
These are some that I remember that are fairly obvious and acknowledged by the Jews as being Messianic prophecies.

No he wasn't. He was often just as heterosexually promiscuous as other Greek Gods.
There is a myth involving how a young women tricked him into giving her the ability to see the future and past - in return she was meant to sleep with him. She didn't, so he made it so that while se could see what had happened, and what would happen no one would believe her. So she was trapped with a sight she couldn't use and considered mad as a result.

No, he had the hots for a mortal chick. I can't remember her name though.

As soon as you post some links to greek mythology, you might be taken seriously. But, as it is, you only post biblical passages. And while I'm sure those aren't self serving, I doubt they would reveal that the mythological Jesus was based on an amalgam of other historically religious figures.

Indeed I am.
And there was the case, as Ovid put forward, about the class of rational mind over emmitonal heart where "cupid" got back at Apollo by making him fall in love with a girl who was incapable of loving him back (mainly as Cupid had used his abilities to make Apollo repulsive to here.)
I have never seen anything to suggest Apollo is gay. Bisexual would even be a struggle to prove.

Daphne if I'm not mistaken, due to the above mentioned act by Cupid. Of course in Ovid's version she gets turned into a tree and has Apollo making out with it - from here the laurel wreath was derived.

OT prophecies were written between 1200 and 600 years before Christ was born. Jesus is placed solely on these. That is the whole premise of Jesus being able to claim himself as the Messiah. If Jesus was to influenced by mythology it would have happened in the Hellenic culture spread around 300BC, but the prophecies were already written before this influence.
