    Jesus The Whipping Boy and Sin Eater

    So god sent Jesus to be the whipping boy of the human race? The idea of one person in a community taking the bidden of the collective guilt was not uncommon. Jesus being sent to alleviate sins was not a unique idea. Being cleansed by the blood of Jesus is a Christian theme...

    The Bible As Literature

    I am sure there are books on this topic. Learner Could the OT writers have been using allegory and metaphor not interring to be literal? Maybe some of it was just entertaining fictional stories? If you believe a reference in the bible to a behemoth means humans ran with T Rex why not...

    Should Biden step down?

    The Sound Bites Of Jesus
