Do the many references to Jesus' flesh completely destroy the Jesus myth theory?  A quick informal chat on this but here are most of the flesh verses in question.


Hebrews 2:14
Hebrews 5:7 
Hebrews 10:20
2nd Corinthians 5:16 (this flesh refers to humans' flesh, carnal flesh)
Ephesians 2:15 
Ephesians 5:30
Colossians 1:22 
1st Timothy 3:16 (manifested in the flesh [what an odd way to say someone was human or was born as a human], seen by angels, why not seen by humans?)
1st Peter 3:18 (says put to death in the flesh, how else would one die? and isn't it redundant to say in the flesh if he was known to be a human?  All these "in the flesh" are indications that they believed Jesus had not yet taken ON any flesh until he did just before his death)
1st Peter 4:1 (jesus suffered in the flesh)
1st John 4:2-3
2nd John 1:7  (it's possible 1 and 2 john were addressing docetism.  If so, we could put these into the orthodox camp but it's not entirely clear that this is so)
