[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread has gone so far off the rails. Seems like the like the people who want to debate Jesus’ divinity or what “fulfill the law” means need to start their own threads.[/quote]

Yup.

There is zero evidence of his divinity.

There is some evidence that he “most likely” existed in history.

I just don't see how the two issues can be separated. If the OP asks where did Christian theology come from? it has to assume the historical figure was divine or there wouldn't be any "theology."  No one builds a religion about some itinerant preacher who spoke in nice parables and beatitudes.  [/quote]

[b]You mean, like Joseph Smith?[/b] [/quote]

explain please?[/quote]

[b]He’s an itinerant preacher who told tales. They formed a whole religion around him. 
[/b]
Does the fact that he now has millions of follows make his tales true?

Trump has millions of followers. Does that make his lies true?

?  Christianity is based on the life and teaching (and alleged divinity) of Jesus Christ. The mormons don't worship Joseph Smith and their religion it's not called Joseph Smith-ism or Smithianity.  Your comparison is apples and oranges.[/quote]
