    Crossan’s theory

    Crossan's thesis is that the miracle stories were made up later, by other people, as parables about Jesus. My story is that the miracle stories were made up by the same person whose sayings and stories were the source for the sayings and stories of Jesus in the gospels. They are not parables...

    This is my path and what I believe.

    This is my path and what I believe.

    Can you give some examples, from your life, of using that line to live your life, to interpret right and wrong, and to learn things?

    Hi from Longfellow

    Thank you. I'm not sure if you're offering to discuss your path with me, or not. If so, let me know if there's a thread for that or if you'd like me to start one and where.

    Hi from Longfellow

    If I can find anyone who would like to do that.
