I guess none.So what outcome do you hope to achieve by supplying a riddle with no solution and engaging me - considering you agree with jane and my approach is laughable?
Cheers

Likewise.Hey hey thank you for your replies
How so? Do you believe this because perhaps my answers may not fit comfortably within your existing worldview?Usually i like ppl to explain themselves, however you do not wanna get caught.
You are asking a question which requires an analytical answer, rather than a categorical one.I would love a yes or no answer at this stage.
So to escape the wheel one must stop suffering, suffering is action and action is in conflict with nirvana?
Yes or no?
I dont know.Is the Biblical Jesus Christ a man-made invention?
Come to think of it.... was there ever an opportunity to compare the gospels to a living memory of the man?I dont know.
How could I know? The opportunity to compare the gospels to the actual man is long gone.
God's book are guidance, it will not subject to knowing it's true, through limited subjective and often misguided methods of humans, such as their analysis of history and historical facts. If all historians agreed Jesus was a real person and also confirmed his miracles, it would not prove it, and if they all agreed his existence is fictional and impossible to be real, it would not disprove the Bible.Come to think of it.... was there ever an opportunity to compare the gospels to a living memory of the man?

Great thread Phil.Is the Biblical Jesus Christ a man-made invention?
It's impossible to fabricate the gospels, and to fabricate Jesus, this is one of the arguments of Quran, but Muslims think Gospels are extreme or polytheistic because despite the warnings of Quran, for all holy books they rely on human interpretation and are not vigilant against translations and are ever hasty in seeing it with sorcery from Iblis and his army of humans and Jinn.
The gospels minus Paul, the gospels are definitely from God with maybe a mistake here or two, that I'm not aware of as of yet, but definitely they are from God and most of it is intact.
If anyone thinks there is anything that contradicts my beliefs in the gospels, bring it up. It took me a long time of avoiding them, because I Thought they were as Christians say they were, but now I See them for the majestic wonders they are.
IndeedI'm feel quite sure that a real person named Jesus existed. But he was the son of God only in the sense that each and every one of us is the son of God.
I've no idea, I'm ultimately agnostic on that question.
However, I will say that if he was truly almighty god, he could've done a much better job communicating, preserving, and authenticating his message. Therefore, I lean towards "yes", that the Jesus concept was invented by man.
How does that explain the near-death experience accounts of those who have visions of beings from other religions?John 16:25
"These things have I spoken unto you in proverbs: but the time cometh, when I shall no more speak unto you in proverbs, but I shall shew you plainly of the Father."
I believe that one of the major ways that Messiah Yeshua - Jesus is keeping this promise in 2019 is through near death experience accounts.
It doesn't, no, not at all. Those ndes (fake Christian experiences, fraudulent) posted now for months? in many threads have been proven false - and even before that, they and the motives of those deceived ones who are exploiting them, including on this thread/ forum, are contrary to all Scripture.How does that explain the near-death experience accounts of those who have visions of beings from other religions?
"Biblical" is not man-made.Is the Biblical Jesus Christ a man-made invention?
I don't put much value in private experiences like NDE's. I can't verify them for myself, just like I can't verify for myself similar claims in the rest of the orthodox Bible.It doesn't, no, not at all.

Good. So far, almost all of the ndes posted on this forum have already long ago been proven false, and presented by false teachers/ often for profit in the public publishing world. (the proofs are available if sought for, but not worth the 'trouble' to try to find them all and post them on this forum) (so far) ....I don't put much value in private experiences like NDE's. I can't verify them for myself, just like I can't verify for myself similar claims in the rest of the orthodox Bible.
I expect it for myself, it is my own personal standard for belief ...... The Creator does not expect anyone to verify for themselves similar claims in the rest of the orthodox Bible (actually there are NO similar claims in the Bible) .
< shrugs > People believe something. Not only not verified, but actually verified false, and people still believe something.I expect it for myself, it is my own personal standard for belief ...
The similar claims in the Bible includes all of the events recorded in the Bible. Just like I can't verify those events people may have experienced in their NDE's, I can't verify those events in the Bible.
