OK.
Our professor wants to know what we would do if we had a time machine and went back in time to find Jesus, or Paul, or any of the Apostles.
We go back in time and find out that Jesus was just an ordinary guy who had a wife and did magic tricks, and that Paul was busy creating a religion so he could cause trouble.
In other words, we saw it all first hand, and you meet Mary and she laughs when you ask her about a virgin birth, and you go back to all the miraculous events of the Bible and find out that they are actually exaggerations and that you couldn't verify any miracle - not the flood, not noah, not a pilar of fire, not adam and eve, not walking on water - nothing!
In fact, you learn that Christianity evolved into the story it is today through forgeries and manipulation!
Q:1. Pretend this all really happened
2. How would your life change.?

You're not in seminary, you're under a bridge, with the other trolls.
I'm surprised people don't look at your other troll questions before responding to this troll question.
By the way, I am in seminary, and you'd be surprised how many of us actually approach the Bible with an open mind, unlike yourself.
Godspeed you on your journey of discovery.

This is not funny.
If I get to heaven, and God says I misunderstood some aspect of the bible, I will just be glad I'm in heaven.
If I went back in history and found out that my theology is flawed, I would literally be LOST!
I was lost, but I am found. I believe the word of God, the bible is inspired by Our all-knowing Father's Holy Spirit.
God said it. I believe it, and that settles it. Why invent this faithless fantasy in a seminary? It seems blasphemous to me!!!

The better question is what would you do if you went back and found out that the Gospels were true and observed Jesus' miracles firsthand...
probably join the mob with the rest of us and yell "crucify him" because he wasn't fighting back and he wasn't going to wipe out the Romans...
and strange as it may seem to all, this was God's will so in our dissappontment we all share the burden that would seal our eternal life by facilitating the death, burial, and resurrection of our Lord.
Interesting, isn't it?

That is really crazy that your professor would want you to do something like that!!!! If you DID go back in time that is NOT what you would find. Either way, it's crazy to even think such mockery.
Gal. 6:7--Be yet not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth that shall he also reap.

Of course, if it weren't real things would change. Thanks be to God that it is real!
