Historical Jesus, Biblical Jesus

[eider]

Maybe the quest for a historical Jesus is and always has been a conspiracy to discredit and defame Christianity.   Then again, a lot of what people do in defending and promoting their Christianity, or any other ideology or alliance, looks like that to me.

Not necessarily a quest with an agenda to destroy anything, but an unbiased search, the results which most certainly did/does discredit Christianity.

Paul and others who built up the new church didn't need anything from the person or life of Jesus (apart from mentioning stuff about his last hours) for the spinning of their new creed and so never wrote a word about him.  And so HJ undoes Christianity totally, imo.
