Is Accepting Christian Evidence Special Pleading?

[downbeatplumb]

Steve is coming dangerously close to "since you can't disprove the miracles of Jesus, that means they must've happened."

Apologist philosophy, ladies and gentlemen.

Hmm. Let's see if that's how my argument went in my recent post:


k. The gospels dovetail nicely with Paul's writings based on his training directly from all the eyewitnesses (completing a loop)
THEREFORE it is reasonable to infer that the events of the gospels are at the very least good representations of what really happened.

I'll only address K.
Are you forgetting all the gospels that they threw out because they did not dovetail with pauls writing?

Are you forgetting the ruthless suppression of anything that did not fit with the "truth"tm as prescribed by the church and empire.

The reason for the hiding of the dead sea scrolls.

With the Gospel of Jesus, Judas, Mary and peter, none of which made the final cut because they all told different tales.
