I think you are getting this intelligent discoveries from sources like the web sites mentioned below, btw I really like to read your emails because it challenges my English language, I can see the effort you put in choosing complicated words and maybe this is why it took you more than a week to reply.

"The Dead Sea Scrolls and the Crisis of Christianity:"

Dead sea scrolls were mostly about the old testimony, and prophets' visions of the Messiah, prophets who came hundreds of years before Christ. It actually proofs that over 300 prophets' visions were fulfilled in Christ. With regards to the part about the last supper dinner, have you ever heard of Passover dinner for the Jews?, yes Jesus made his last supper similar to the Jewish tradition, because he was a Jew. If Jews used to make suppers 100s of years before Christ, doesn't make the last supper of Jesus a fake one.
Jesus said " I didn't come to cancel but to fulfill". His birth, life and death fulfilled what was written in the old scriptures hundreds of years before his birth.

You said
"In a nutshell, I had said simply this: 1) The Christ (IESAPL) of Pauline Christianity (whose historicity Allonehhob is trying to prove) and ‘Christ-like' claimant/s to messiahship who may have lived at the time, are as divorced from one another as imagination is from reality. ....etc"

I don't need to proof anything, there are countless of evidences about Jesus, it is you who is building arguments based on theories that have no proofs. I have sent you many historical evidences about Jesus existence but you chose to keep on arguing the same subject

You said
"A retrospect of the religion reminds one of a few quotes: 1. Pope Leo X – "It has served us well, this myth of Christ"; 2) Michele Sindona – "My operating philosophy is based on my personality which is unique in the world, on well-told lies …." [Yallop, p. 129]; 3. Pope John Paul I – "I have noticed two things that seem to be in very short supply in the Vatican. Honesty and a good cup of coffee." ["The Dead Sea Scrolls and the Crisis of Christianity", N.S.Rajaram, Minerva Press, London, p.35]."

You have previously said that Christians could create Jesus out of nothing, they could fool the Romans to build them an empire, they have fooled most of the world for 2000 years for political gain, they have collected furtune based on myth practice, and now you are accusing them with stupidity. According to you, Christians mislead the world for so long, however one of Popes who is supposed to be the highest priest says something like this?

So the Pope says in public "myth of Christ" risking all of the profit he is making from the poor world in the name of Christianity?

Please, try someting better than this.

Who knows, maybe next time you will say that Mother Teresa was actually a terrorist, I am sure you will find lots of proofs to support your argument.

Peace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you
