This isn't the first time that these things have been asserted on these boards, or by you. I'm not going to humor the weekly reset Steve. As ever, the drums sound retreat immediately, and the plebs burn the fields on their way out. "Well, we don't/can't know". OFC we can, don't be ridiculous....you're the one who decided to bring godman down to earth, after all.
That's ridiculous. I cannot make something 'untrue' because you do not believe the evidence that exists. I never said anything about 'we don't/can't know'. I believe the evidence and you don't. Is there a reason that the NT events could not be true despite the accounts?
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies.

I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
