If theists understood "evidence"

RE: If theists understood "evidence"
(October 9, 2018 at 8:23 am)Jehanne Wrote: Of course, the accounts differ, and hence, contradict each other.  But, every scholar (well, almost) agrees that the early Christian communities embellished and altered the stories of Jesus as time went on, and Paul's stories are no different.  I just wonder if RR is willing to defend the authorship of 2 Peter as being of "apostolic" origin:

Quote:Issue of authorship already settled for most scholars

The great majority of scholars agree that Peter could not have written this letter.[19] For example, textual critic Daniel Wallace (who maintains that Peter was the author) writes that, for most experts, "the issue of authorship is already settled, at least negatively: the apostle Peter did not write this letter" and that "the vast bulk of NT scholars adopts this perspective without much discussion"[20] Werner Kümmel exemplifies this position, stating, "It is certain, therefore, that 2 Pet does not originate with Peter, and this is today widely acknowledged",[21] as does Stephen L Harris, who states that "[v]irtually no authorities defend the Petrine authorship of 2 Peter."[22] Evangelical scholars D. A. Carson and Douglas J. Moo wrote that "most modern scholars do not think that the apostle Peter wrote this letter. Indeed, for no other letter in the New Testament is there a greater consensus that the person who is named as the author could not, in fact, be the author."[23] Despite this broad denial by the majority of modern scholars, other scholars view the arguments of the majority to be largely inconclusive.[24] Likewise, Stanley Porter points to the fact that 2 Peter's acceptance to the canon by early Christians presumes that they were sure that Peter wrote it.[25] In the end, Carson and Moo point to the controversy reflective of this issue, stating, "We are therefore left with the choice of accepting the letter's prima facie claim to have been written by the apostle Peter or viewing it as a forgery hardly deserving of canonical status."[26]

But Road and Steve deny contradictions and try and ploy them as "just different accounts  " then try and peddle the BS as making it more credible .
Seek strength, not to be greater than my brother, but to fight my greatest enemy -- myself.
