That you for making it clear that you have no intention of having a respectful conversation.

Conversation? With you? Maybe when you stop acting so damn condescending and you start utilizing reason but until then....not a chance, you are beneath contempt and deserving of nothing but derision.

I did nothing to provoke your personal attack, but I do understand how my response could be taken as condescending. I'm sorry.

Many of the biblical scholars you mentioned were part of the Jesus Seminar. That group leans very heavily to the liberal side. I considered them a biased source.

Yet your personal story is not? See why I say you are beneath contempt and worthy of nothing but derision?

Chad doesn't deserve any of this... He's by far the most polite person I've seen on the forums.

Exactly.

Quote:Just because John and Luke do not describe the 40 days Christ was with them after the resurrection, does not prove He ascended the same day.

What do you mean? John, Mark and Luke are explicitly describing the story saying it hadn't been 40 days.

No they are not, you need to read the accounts again. They actually never mention a time line from resurrection to ascending.
