It seems probable that there was such a man. Maybe his name was Isaiah, or the Aramaic equivalent. Maybe he was a rabble-rouser. Maybe the Romans killed him for it.

That's all I'm willing to concede. Everything else in the bible was written decades later, edited and excised numerous times throughout the centuries to suit the political realities of the day, translated and re-translated into several other dead languages, and finally into English.

Anyone who professes to take the result literally is utterly and completely insane.

Cheers,
