Evidence for Jesus outside the Bible?

[Shell B]

My comment was honest and from experience.

Sometimes honest and truth are not synonymous. As for experience, do you know any Christians who have died for their religion or you just know some who say that?

Having been one does, however, mean I know how it feels to be a Christian.

As do many of those who are debating with you. So, as a former Christian, you think you know better than other former Christians?

Quoting Padraic in my volcano thread.....'Interesting; I can't dispute that. I said only that Judaism was not monthotheistic BEFORE Exodus. In his recent book,"The Bible Unearthed" Israel Finkelstein reveals that he and others have yfound THOUSANDS of female deity figures all over Israel,dating to about 700bce. These finds indicate that although monotheism may have been the official religion by that time, many people still worshiped the old gods. (Obviously not true jews)'.

'True' Jews.

You don't have a problem with that then.

I just sent you the BB code guide. Please use quote tags.

Actually, I do have a problem with the statement, if it is not sarcastic. "Jew" is not just a religious term. It is also an ethnicity. Therefore, I would oppose someone calling a Jew not a "true Jew" based on their religious beliefs. Nonetheless, I take umbrage to your insinuating that I have a double standard when I never even replied to the comment he made in the volcano thread. I never even read it and you implied that I did and ignored it because I favor his beliefs over yours. That is not the case and you made a leap to suggest it.
