"Cresswell carefully analyses the surviving texts to show how doctrines, such as the divinity of Jesus and the Resurrection, have been progressively introduced into the narrative. By establishing what has been added, he defines what part of the character of Jesus the Christian Church has, over time, invented."

For your own sake, Jesus', at least consider what I have said.

One must have proof there is a god before one can prove what he cares about; and if he were to exist, is there anything he would care about (and to what purpose)? Would a god (even) have feelings?

Why wouldn't He?
Especially if He's a God that created us in HIS image.
Wouldn't that image also include feelings?
Seriously, why do some of us think that having feelings means weakness?
Since when does having power mean you don't cry?
Many humans see crying as weak.
Maybe GOD doesn't see it as weak. Maybe it's our own hubris that sees it as weak....

Feelings don’t equate to weakness; they are not only human but necessary (the good and the bad) in order to experience life. At the end of the day, our experiences relative to such (love, sadness, joy and so on) are front and center to the meaning of our lives. Sans the ability to feel, what’s the point? Atheists have feelings; at least, most of us do.;-)
What (or whom) would a god be emotionally invested in, and for what purpose? Why would he care about one religion over another (other than bias, lol).

Christian scholars are being taught by Christian scholars, not by Jesus Christ.
They preach against the way to get saved and the way to have knowledge and understanding.
As for the historians, God hides things from such.

Do we see our 'humanness" as God-given or not? Our feelings as God-given or not?
Does God cry? If so, WHY would that be seen as a "weakness"?
Are we so filled with hubris that we see crying...that is, ALL crying as weak?

Christianity is a religion and you are correct God does not care about religions. God cares about us. Jesus came to make that absolutely clear because the religions simply misunderstood God. Unlike EscalaMike's beliefs, Jesus did NOT come to establish a religion, let alone the corrupt one of Catholicism.
Unfortunately, that also seems to be the views of those who adhere to one religion or another. It is the character and Holy Spirit of Jesus that we should be focused on, NOT the "precepts and doctrines of men" in ANY of the religions. In my view, Jesus revealed and demonstrated the True Nature of God, at least the one I encountered in deep meditation. Everything else is prologue, IMO.
