Jesus was an aborted attempt (by Julius Caesar)to duplicate Abel to repay God for Abels murder. If Jesus had actually been the son of God (in Heaven) and he came and they murdered him that would be the 2nd son of God man murdered. Deeper doo-doo. The savior woiuld have to be a son of man to be a repayment of a debt. Duh!
Now come back with some born-agan crap.

umm - Julius Caesar was killed in 44 BC; Jesus was born around 4 BC.
Nor is there any reason that Caesar would have known about the Cain and Abel story, or that he would have cared if he did.
God never asked Caesar to repay him for Abel's murder; the Cain and Abel story is allegory for teaching purposes.
I respect your right to your opinion on religious matters, but try getting your facts straight and expressing them in a literate manner.

No. Jesus was not the image of adam, who challeneged God and screwed us up. think your taking the idea of 2nd adam too literally. When God created adam, He wanted adam to be like christ, but he failed obviously and created sin. the idea that Christ is the 2nd adam, should be taken as a fulfillment or the second half; what Adam failed to do, Christ completed. Adam created sin, Christ comes to show a way out of sin. So Jesus is the image of God, the way God wanted man to be so in that sense He is the second Adam; the complete perfect creation of what God intended man to be. i think you were thinking 2nd being another one, but it should not be taken that way.
why would the savior need to be a son of man? why do you think Jesus was born through human ways; through pregnancy. Jesus had undergone every action and emotion a human goes through, from birth and even went through death. there is nothing more needed other than what Jesus has done.

Jesus is the 2nd Adam, but Jesus is the version that didn't mess up. Kind of like the way it should have been. Jesus was completely opposite. Jesus was perfect. Adam was sinful. Instead of screwing life up, He saved it.
And he was born from Mary. He was born from man and was sent by God. 100% Human. 100% God.

Where did all this come from?
Just ignore it. Dont pay attention to all the negativity.
Make your own better religion , that would be better than hairsplitting everything we know about a man who was born , lived and died several thousand years ago.
Take Christianity for all the good that you can get out of it, the same as the best things out of every religion in the world.
Do not play it for power for yourself or for the perpetrators of this religions.

That's one theory, yes. It is quite true that all account of Jesus come from hearsay accounts, and not very good one's at that. One thing can be certain, the Jesus story is at least off to a decent degree, it would have to be with how and when it was written in relation to the events, anyone who says differently is just too brainwashed to be 'saved.'

To understand it all, you will have to be a character of the story of the bible. In my opinion, it is all fiction but with aim to explain the creation and the creator.
