WTF Steve?
You have sought out fringe theories that support your conclusion. I will stick with the 'most scholars believe...' prefix.
What fringe theories? Pitch straw elsewhere. Do "most scholars" believe that luke was a historian...or might that be exactly what I -just- told you it was? Do most scholars think that Peter, James, and John are -not- literary eponyms? What, of Paul, is the consensus view of the scholars who assign paul a measure of historicity?
Show me that you possess an ounce of knowledge, make your assertions, however vague and poorly worded...true. That's how this works. That's how we learn from and communicate with each other.
