In fact I’ve debated this topic in places like this for over a decade, even with folks like Richard Carrier, and Rook Hawkins.
Too bad you can't get your money back, I suppose? If you're well informed, then act like it, and stop saying silly fundy shit.
Quote:It’s pretty self evident that you don’t, since you dont even seem aware that the standard position among historians and NT scholars is that Jesus was a historical person, as well as Paul, that Josephus is a reliable source for 1st Century Roman Palestine history.I already told you that I wasn't going to let you gish gallup your way through this convo.
Explain why you're attempting to certify mythology by folklore, calling it a "first hand account"..lol...the first assertion you made, or I'm just going to leave you here to say more silly shit to everyone else who isn't listening.
