The Historical Jesus - John Dominic Crossan

[Grinthor86]

How can you call yourself a Christian and deny the "litteral" resurection? I've heard it said and tend to agree with "to realy screw up Christianity you need a theologist".

@Grinthor86 He's saying he loves the historical account of Jesus, but hates the dogmatic scripture surrounding him. What he means by Christian is someone who follows the philosophy and life of Jesus, while, when most people say it, they mean someone who believes in the New Testament. Many Agnostic historians are interested in the historical account of Jesus.

So I'm curious, does John Dominic Crossan believe in God? Eternal life? This is all really interesting.

The verb they used to say "they crucified him" originally meant pile-driving and fencing with pales. (staurow)

I have yet to understand atonement theology...very strange to me still. I guess the idea is that someone else takes the bullet FOR you...for your sin. Maybe...really from a mystical standpoint, SPIRT, does take the bullet since you can release all of your sins into SPIRIT where they are transformed. From a mystical point of view, where Jesus represents ETERNITY, the sins can be put into Him and dissolved there. But, literally...it makes no sense on that level.
