Impossible to fake Truth

    

      The longer one dwells on the mystery of the Divine, the time will come when one will, like some boy staring hard and long into a murky pool,  start seeing things clearer, or start imagining non existent entities. Or one just gets tired and moves on.

    Is it so far out of reasonable conjecture, we humans having only limited mental faculties, to surmise that the entire Jesus Christ persona is more a concept than an actual flesh and blood, person? 

    Less a real life person who lived, walked, ate, did those miraculous acts so claimed and finally got killed on Calvary, to gloriously SAVE us lost, pathetic, denied-of-salvation Man?

   There is no cynicism intended, neither sarcasm, nor a lean toward atheism. And most definitely no intent to blaspheme.

   Just a wondering mind with an opinion.

  The concept of unselfish love, the so atypical idealism of  super-human sacrifice; the idealism of sharing not just what we do not want but what we treasure most with those we do not love. And the supreme ideal, the thought of which goes completely against our nature - the giving of one's life for others. All these character traits; that bode well for an ideal social, communal existence; these behavioral/self - denying characteristics that  will ensure the good of all future humans; are so alien to our normal human values. 

Could these fascination with the make-up of an Ideal Man/God find form and became personified/exemplified in a supernatural entity - Jesus Christ? 

Complete with angelic host proclaiming his earthly arrival, with the Star of Bethlehem? And over time, more attributes are evolved, developed and incorporated to flesh up the supernatural persona. Events are interpreted as miracles to lend credence to claims on Divinity, and were deftly woven into historical reality. The entire tale developed over the passing of time, embellished,  made perfect, and set down in written records from antiquity, to become utterly irrefutable? Coupled with many non- divine, human derived wisdom, the Book became one seeming divine tome.

The concept of a Divine being, who in a supreme act of Agape Love condescended  to the extremely unacceptable, despicable,  humiliating descent from on High, Divinity, to sink to the dark depth of sub-humans (us) who knew better yet unable to save ourselves because of our many undesirable self-annihilatory traits.

  

 Could all these be just our weak human longing for an ideal divine Being? One endowed with traits of Agape Love, with supernatural powers and in all other aspects superiorly a super human, to lend us poor weak humans a sense of purpose, divine support, and most of all to give hope to an otherwise meaningless existence?

Introspection would make one so conciuosly aware of how alien it is for any person other than a non living entity to possess traits Jesus did!

This  is NOT atheism, NOT cynicism. 

Call it whatever appropriate but should one attempt to describe the color of the rainbow to another who was never able to visually see, or to try describe a beautiful melody to one who never has hearing,  one  might get an idea of the shortcomings, the insurmountable difficulties, the utter impossibility of formulating a concept of the Christ persona, so ethereal,  so stretched over such a vastness of time, space, so completely vulnerable to contradictions to be able to even hint at factuality, that the only likelihood is -  IT IS THE TRUTH.
