And once again you reveal your lack of liberal arts knowledge. Yes,

knowledge of religion falls under the liberal arts.



1. If Jesus were indeed the son of god, why would he need to receive a

formal education to know how to read and write? Would god create an

illiterate son?



2. Here's an easier one just for you. Jesus supposedly was an itinerant

teacher of the Torah and if he were, he was taught his knowledge of

Torah, the total knowledge base of things Jewish up until his time. This

would require the ability to read and write. You can hardly be a teacher

of the Torah without that ability.

Read??

"14 And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee: and there went out a fame of him through all the region round about.15 And he taught in their synagogues, being glorified of all.16 And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up for to read.17 And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Esaias. And when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written,18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,19 To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.20 And he closed the book, and he gave it again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him.21 And he began to say unto them, This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears." (Luke 4)

Write?

"2 At dawn he appeared again in the temple courts, where all the people gathered around him, and he sat down to teach them. 3 The teachers of the law and the Pharisees brought in a woman caught in adultery. They made her stand before the group 4 and said to Jesus, "Teacher, this woman was caught in the act of adultery. 5 In the Law Moses commanded us to stone such women. Now what do you say?" 6 They were using this question as a trap, in order to have a basis for accusing him. But Jesus bent down and started to write on the ground with his finger. 7 When they kept on questioning him, he straightened up and said to them, "Let any one of you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her." 8 Again he stooped down and wrote on the ground. " (John 8)


So, if Jesus was a teacher of the

Torah, what excuse can you offer up for his failing to leave behind even

a scrap of a scroll in his own words and writing?

Who said He had or needed too?

I agree there is testimony that Jesus knew full well how to read and
write. Taking that literacy into account, I find it more than just a
little curious that he left nothing behind in writing.

Jesus, of course, was born a Jew, lived as a Jew, and died as a Jew.
There's nothing substantive in writing to indicate he wanted another
religion to take the place of Judaism. In fact, wasn't Jesus opposed to
proselytizing to pagans?

Harry,then why did you just questioned his literacy a ile ago

"...For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins..." Mat. 26:28

No.

"Go ye therefore, and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them into the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit:" (Mat. 28:19
