They thought birds could get pregnant from the wind.

There are literary strategies in the gospels to make it intelligible.

Yes, you can say that the gospels were written in Greek but you see literary strategies from the Aeneid which was written in Latin.

Medea would say, tell me the gospel; tell me the news.

This video is low key excellent.
There’s more there than what notes you see I wrote above.

This is hilarious: The Athena story at around 50:00 or a little after.

There is a journal called Early Christianity.

Harvard Theological Review – “What Paul Thought the Moon is”

The Journal for the Historical Jesus

Academia.edu – she has previews there, Laodecians, Jesus and the Magic Wand, Christian Art, Werde.

Yeah the gospels are loaded with all kinds of things: irony, contradictions, and hilarious stories because theologically they’re all still Jewish until being Baptized by the Holy Spirit which occurs after the Resurrection.

As a Christian the role models for being a Christian are not there until the Book of Acts, chapter 2. Their former selves in the gospels as Jews are not the role models for Christians.
