Since I'm not a scholar and can reference where the jesus had long hair or not. I do clearly remember where Solomon did and Deliahlia cut it and he lost his strength.

Jesus did a lot just to fulfill the prophecy's of the old testament. It's good to question things. If the book can't stand up to our questions it's not worth the paper its printed on.

to those that quoted Tacitus his accuracy on the subject is quite suspect considering that he was not even born until 20 years after the supposed death of Jesus. \n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tacitus_on_Jesus\n\n\nalso the description of Jesus by Josephus has been proven to been corrupted by Christian scribes especially when compared to copies kept in Muslim lands.

Making fun of a bald prophet...\n\nHey, it's in the book...\n\nIsn't it interesting that a Buddhist can recognize a Biblical allusion while several Christians cannot?

He didn't really give it a name as far as I can remember from the Bible.

I believe the 2nd story is correct. Not sure about the follower part, but yes, another man was subsituted. See, Jesus was pulled into the heavens and will return before the Day of Judgement, symbolizing that the Day of Judgement is near. So, yes, God did not kill Jesus.

Elhanan killed the brother of Goliath.  The King James is clear, and this is also a different battle & different location.

Christians don't think that.  What is your point?  Paul rebukes the Jewish Christians for telling the Gentiles to get circumsized.  We are to place our trust in Christ and not works or rituals.  We are to have the heart and mind of Christ.  Neither Greek  nor Jew, but we are one in Christ.

that might have been contradicting to the ideas of some other author.  This way you can see how the Bible is tried to be manipulated by some shrewd persons. In that case where remains the authenticity of the Bible, where any body can modify any part of the Bible?

I was not sure so I check a Bible scholar named Matthew Henry and he said "Miriam was struck with a leprosy, but not Aaron, because she was first in the transgression, and God would put a difference between those that mislead and those that are misled." I am still pondering the question but hopefully this will give you something to think about.

You are very right.  When people cut things out of the Bible, they start with Rev  22:18.  ; )  But almost everyone actually just chooses which things to follow, there are VERY few groups that obey everything in the Bible (keeping kosher, not eating shellfish, not allowing men to have long hair, treating their slaves well, etc.).  Really it's all just a buffet.

There is actually a great deal of doubt that he lead them across the Red Sea. It does not say Red Sea in the scriptures. That is just a supposition made by some people.

The last 12 verses of Mark were deleted in the Alexandrian texts. We know they existed in the 2nd century because several people in that time quoted them, Irenaeus in 150 A.D., and also Hypolytus in the 2nd century.

"For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him." (Isaiah 53:2)\n\nThis scripture from Isaiah foretells what Jesus would look like. His appearance most likely would have been more average or ordinary or plain. It does not sound like he would have had a very handsome appearance. This makes sense in that Jesus was humble. He was not a big military leader. He rode a donkey, not a large white stallion. Most likely he would have had an appearance of darker skin similar to someone of middle eastern descent. Jesus humbled himself and took a punishment he did not deserve to save us from judgment for our sins. God didn't want us to accept Jesus because He was tall, or handsome, or a great soldier, but because of who He was and what He did for us.

Mark was there.He was not a disciple ,but a teen following the group.When the Jewish guard came to arrest them,they tried to grab Mark but he spun away and they tore his tunic off and he fled in his gird(Jockey Shorts).See Mark 15 & 16.There was also always agroup of Disciples around them who were not the "inner circle "of 12,Jesus usually traveled with 50 or 60 people around,including,the women.I'm not upset,it's just that people love to jump before studying ALL the scripture.

The thing is this, Abraham still would have suffered the loss of his son, even though God had promised that the promised seed would be through Isaac, Abraham did not know when God would resurrect Isaac knowing he could, God could have resurrected Isaac long after Abraham had died and Abraham would have to live out his life without his son who he loved. Jesus still suffered the pains of that sacrifice, he suffered much, he was scourged by the Romans, meaning that they whipped him with whips that commonly had bits of bone and scrap metal braided into the whips that would literally rip the flesh from your body exposing the muscle underneath the flesh, had a crown of thorns pushed down upon his head that tore into his flesh, carried his own torture stake, was nailed to that stake hands overhead to make breathing difficult, mocked ridiculed during the entire time and in front of his mother and friends, accused of blasphemy, spit upon, struck by his persecutors, kept awake during the entire trial and punishment, and still suffered the final pangs of death itself, would you think after suffering all this that the sacrifice had no worth, and also Jehovah God himself had to endure this as he watched from heaven as his Son was treated this way and for the first time since his creation eons ago in heaven, God was truely without his Son as Jesus was truely dead, he no longer existed, because as the Bible points out, we are a soul we don't have one, when we die we go into nonexistence until God would resurrect us. Sounds like a genuine sacrifice  to me and one of  the greatest love ever shown on both parts of Jehovah God and his Son Jesus Christ.

There were quite a few Jewish sects in that part of the world around that time. Many of them were messianic sects, such as the Essenes - some of which had turned from traditional Judaism. In this period in history it was not uncommon to hear tales that this person or that person was the promised Messiah. Christianity was a sect that became firmly established by going cosmopolitan - after Paul promoted it in Italy and Greece and blended it with their mythology of virgin birth, the hierarchy of deities, and a fiery Hades place of punishment, etc., none of which had any connection to Jesus's religion (Judaism).
