Merlin has many different disguises and seems that he can’t die from anything else but love, why not make a rumor so large that maybe he might be Jesus Christ. The Bible doesn’t speak of magic it only speaks of miracles. But yet in the tales of King Arthur magic is something that is so easily to come by. One quote that stood to me the most, and also yet so simple, was when Sir Balin and King Pellam were fighting with the spear that had pierced Jesus Christ on the cross and “Merlin appeared three days later and roused Sir Ballin from his trance.” (pg.36) 3 days being the key on most of the Bible stories but mostly in Jesus rising in 3 days, it can be assumed that Merlin knew this was going to happen but it just so happens that he comes three days later. Merlin states the tales of many prophecies and they all seem to come true aka Jesus Christ. I'm sure there are many other examples of Merlin being Jesus Christ but this quote stood out to me the most.
