You get out of the wrong side of the bed this morning, Hairy One? :-p
That is certainly possible but scamming is a somewhat ridiculous assumption on your part. It is equally likely that all of the parties knew is was an allegorical reference to a well known fable.
Kindly point out any references to where the disciples are portrayed as other than incompetent. Hardly any literary talents among them. Any evidence the Jews of that period understood the OT as allegorical in sections?
Why would Jesus know anything more than what he had learned during his life? Why, during the period of time that Jesus lived here on earth, would he be anything other than human?
Know any other humans of the period racking up miracles? That`s the claim.If you`re saying you don`t need divinity to water-walk, pollute piggies, restore a corpse, etc., etc., how come the secret disappeared with Jesus?
Another of your either silly assertions or poorly worded. Do you mean that the comment was a figment of the author (and this is one of the possible things from the Q source) or that Jesus was a figment of the authors? Certainly both are possible
What`s possible? That it`s one of my silly assertions? Or poorly worded?
