I’m not playing linguistic games. Allow me to rephrase my question then: You prefer to operate under the assumption that Jesus of Nazareth did actually exist. If critical thinking has nothing to do with it, then why is that your preference?

It‘s using FSA (forensic statement analysis). You believe he existed. If critical thinking has nothing to do with it, then how do you know that he did?

The devil has his disciples just as the Messiah (the prophesied seed / descendant of the woman) has his.

The poor man has a demon @talons.

Jesus himself believes these stories are true.

I agree that the author of Hebrews may not be Paul. I don’t see any reason not to trust it on the issue of contested authorship. I’m glad to hear that you got out of hyperpauline doctrine, and I’m particularly glad that you spoke about it here for newbies to see.

Did you find his “no origin story” argument persuasive? What he has to say is a demonic response. He can’t harm me.

What would it take to persuade you that Michael and the angels were fighting not the Satan but a Satan; and not his fallen angel gang, but his human nature gang, in heaven? *** There is nothing (short of narcotics - which isn’t the culprit with the Christadelphians - that could persuade me to...

There is not more than one gospel in the Bible. There is only one gospel, newbies. Jesus himself preached it. All of the apostles preached it. It is the gospel of God for all mankind. Remember the parable of the sower; the seed of salvation. Don’t be deflected from it.

The revealed mystery is God’s immortality program. I would tell newbies that all of the apostles were aware of it and preached it.
