***So you would have told Jesus to take a hike?***
When you are well grounded in BIBLE scripture you can tell a fraud very quickly.
Interesting, you say being well grounded in the Bible allows you to detect that Jesus is a fraud? My take on the NT is that it teaches that Jesus is real.
I find it hard to believe you believe that Jesus is a fraud. If Jesus appeared to you, you would really call Him a fraud and reject Him?
