On the James mention? I think it's authentic. From basic reading it seems like scholars are split on this and even the TF.
Scholars you say?

You mean................Virtually all New Testament scholars and Near East historians, applying the standard criteria of historical investigation, find that the historicity of Jesus is effectively certain...........

Now then trivial Rik. Do you see a pattern here? Every one of these 'bible scholars' is a priest/theologian. You know; people who's livelihoods depend on this idiotic story being true. And not a history degree between them, masters of divinity (Whatever the fuck that is) plenty, a masters in history, none. Not fucking one! Now here's a challenge for you. find me a comparative list of bible scholars that are>
a) Not priests.
b) Not theologians.
c) Has a degree in history.
*For every one you can name I will present another list of wankers as long as this one. And these are only the REMFs, I haven't listed any of the big guns yet.
Good luck.
