I mean, in the Bible it's explicit that Jesus knew Judas would betray him and didn't do anything about it whether he told him to or not. Not much explanation for that except that a martyr story is a much more powerful message.

That story in the bible has many different versions if you compare ancient texts that describe it.

There were originally major inconsistencies in the rebirth story between the different books in the new testament.

It seems odd to just talk about the current version as its written, when we know its been revised numerous times since then. Wouldnt the original documents be more useful?

That might only be important if the history of it matters, as it still makes a great myth.
