: : Whether or not the character Jesus Christ is real or imagined doesn't matter as much as what is being described by the writer, or the man. It is clear that this man, JC, real or imagined by a writer, was seeking to impress the people of the time that what they had perceived as reality, was about to collide. . .
: Jesus described himself as the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecy. How can you conclude that Jesus had any message different than that recorded in the Gospels? Jesus became famous in His day because of his actions. His message was ignored by all but a few. How can you conclude that Jesus was an example of relevant communication? The message is that the "who" was God made flesh.
"How can you conclude that Jesus was an example of relevant communication?"
If God cannot produce a "who" in the flesh able to speak in relevant terms of what use to man is God?
