Re: Morning and Evening
I would have to disagree with you on the timing of the writing of the books of the NT.
​
I would also disagree with you on the point of Jesus not being spoken of as an earthly literal person.
​
the gospels are the account of his life and they certainly present a real person.
​
You may have every right to believe this but, for the sake of argument, from what evidence do you derive this?

Re: Morning and Evening
Regarding Jesus as being a real historical figure - Josephus mentions his brothers by name as "James the brother of the one called Christ"
And there are Roman writers such as Suetonius, Pliny, and the Roman historian Tacitus who all confirm the historicity of Jesus. For critics to claim that he was not a real person is just ludicrous.
​
Showing he was a real person does not imply that what he was alleged to have done was in any proved, Just that he existed.

Re: Morning and Evening
true, so why do many continue with the silly notion that he was not a real person???
​
I hope that is a rhetorical question, since I can't say what John Doe or Jack Sprat thinks.
