I find it ironic that people can believe this story, could possibly be true or factual over most of the other religions stories, but they work almost the same ways
both stories work just like the stories about greek heroes and kings, as well as any folk story written in the last 300 years!
RR, sorry but this is just amazing to me that you could be this adament over folk tales that every religion has a form of, but you deem this one to be something other than a folk tale
its a myth just like hercules is or persus, or johny appleseed
its fiction

I guess your reading comnprehension is low.
it doesn't look like you really read the OP, how are the stories plausable?
as i said they are just like folk stories of all religions and like any of those, are not plausable
Please point out in this thread where I make an assertion that this story is true.
where did i say that i was talking about you?, aor are you just assuming that because i posted to you?
i would say you are trying to find consistancy in your mind for some stories that have none
Please find the line where I express how I feel about the story.
i guess seeing you flail at people for not agreeing with you isn't telling me how you feel about it?
What is the topic?
the plausabilty of these two stories? i think they have been shown to be nothing but stories - i mean come on a guy killing people with a jaw bone? thats immpossible - sounds like a folk myth to me, read a lot of those from other cultures
Until today, I used to think that everyone in EVC was smart
oohh i can play the insults too! if this is what you think now stop looking in the mirror

Re: nazarite / nazarene
awesome. the bible lies again?
nm, nazareth didn't exist as a town till 300-400ad
it seems the area was settled but there wasn't a town there named nazareth till after jesus died
even if there was the NT authors made up all the stuff about it
Nazareth - Wikipedia

Re: nazarite / nazarene
Archaeology in Nazareth confirms human habitation since the Stone Age and twenty three tombs from New Testament times have been found in what was then a small village
that doesn't mean that it was nazareth though, the site i believe says they where dated after when jesus died, after 100ad
it wasn't called nazareth till after jesus
