Bamboozled Besieged By Lies Man Never a Sinner-True Or False?

In approaching the historical Jesus no question of his deity arises, since before the paganising of Jewish belief in the development of Christianity no authority identify the Messiah with the logos, the eternal Word of God,or conceived the Messiah to be an incarnation of God. The right understanding of Jesus commences with the realization that he identified himself with the fulfillment of the Messianic Hope. Only on this basis do the traditions about him become wholly intelligible. We have to accept the absolute sincerity of Jesus. But this does not require us to think of him as omniscient and infalible.  With the birth stories of Jesus, and of John the Baptist also, we past directly from the world of sober reality into the world of fairy-tale. The presentation of what takes place does not distinguish at all. Between the factual and the legendary,and no criteria are provided to enable us to separate the one from the other.
