There is always the very likely possibility that Joseph was in fact Jesus' real actual father and this virgin birth thing was a later concoction. That changes nothing about Jesus' teachings and doctrine.

Don't you folks that hold Paul as the real deal admit that Jesus left this earth after providing the pathway to salvation? Without having to resort to the dubious pronouncements of Paul?

Even if you discount Paul, can a Christian obtain salvation? John the Baptist and his cousin Jesus were pretty clear that the law stands especially the big 10 and that repentance was the key to salvation. The parable of the prodigal son illustrates this clearly as did the parable of the sons and the vineyard.

Do the big ten stand today? Can a Christian throw them aside, violate the sabbath, engage in actual adultery, etc. and receive salvation because they believe in Jesus without making any attempt to follow the big ten?
