I'm not sure where this goes so please move it to the appropriate place if necessary.
Lately, while listening to cryptid podcasts, I've been hearing a lot of supernatural claims of these creatures acting when someone evokes the name of Jesus. Some say that a true researcher will look at all historical documents when researching such things. I wonder if that includes ALL historical documents/writing or just the bible but that's another topic altogether I suppose.
So let's just use the bible here as that's where most familiarity lies with most people here.
Could the bible be a true and accurate record of a supreme divine being like most people claim or could it be nothing more than the writings of what was witnessed and then attributed to something 'more' later?

According to the Gospel of Phillip, he did more than touch Mary, Jesus married her and had two children.
Except that I can not fathom your point, I'd think you were preaching.
Whatever happened to his two children, why didn't they weep for him on the cross? Was there some obscure Jewish tradition that lasted from 32 BCE to 34 BCE that prevented them from being part of the story?
It all seems very odd.
Didn't his wife have rights?
Or is the Book of Phillip not one of the books people consider the real books of the Bible, and how are were outsiders supposed to understand when a book is good or myth?

I will never understand how someone who claims to know the ultimate truth, of God, believes they deserve respect, when they cannot distinguish it from a fairy-tale.
You know, science and logic are hard: Religion and fairy tales might be more your speed.
To continue to argue for the Hebrew invention of God is actually an insult to the very concept of a God. - Divine Insight
