If he reads them again CLK man, he'll come to the same conclusion. Paul was writing well before the fairy tales about Jesus were concocted to make him fit the old testament prophesies. You should read them and back up your reading with some research about when the individual gospels were written and by whom. There is a clear progression from the earliest to the latest. He goes from an essentially human historical figure to a magical son of God who went around performing parlor tricks in the later gospels. Your belief in the christ should not be challenged by such a study. Rather, you might come to see him as a real, human, man of god whose essential goodness has been clouded by centuries of childish magical thinking.
