It is a case for the sayings being said that is all.
Who? And how is James referencing it before it was invented and written down 35 years later (according to your point of view)?
Could have made it up, could be something he heard down the pub there are a vast number of possibilities I'm sure you could think of a few dozen if you put your mind to it.
There's possibility and then there's plausibility. They're not the same thing as you know.
And Losty, it doesn't bother me at all if Jesus in reality never existed, but I sure do care enough to point out flaws in certain arguments when I see them or point out how someone is being unreasonable with the assumptions they make. I guess for me it's more about intellectual integrity more than anything else.
