And yes, that's a great point you make here.

Not frustrated, (at all) just surprised that's all you two have.
(LG you could have at least given credit to where you got "Paulianity" from.) That's not what YOU called it in this thread.
I asked asked for support for an argument from "consensus."
You failed, just as almost everyone whoever made it. It's a pet peeve of mine. No one really has any FACTS to support the argument,
and in fact very few real historians who are not "economically obligated" even study Paul, (ie those WORK for church related institutions, from which they would be FIRED if they actually questioned Paul or Jesus). Then you both (falsely) claimed I was a Paul mythicist. I am not. You failed to read the paper I wrote years ago and put in the spoiler.
So yeah, you both got it 110 % wrong.
ta ta
I did read your paper that you quoted within spoilers, which you posted only recently (unless I missed an earlier post in which you did). And that's why I asked you if you believed Paul was real then, because it seemed like you did when you wrote that paper. So why the fuss then about one part of what I said, when I didn't actually even use that as an argument in answer to your original question, but rather as a statement that the points I made are in line with what NT scholars say? Why did you drag us down into a very unproductive exchange where you wanted me to unreasonably list every single NT scholar holding to a consensus (and then furthermore, demand further a selection of these scholars meeting your criteria for not "economically obligated" which you now just confessed only few are with regards to the subject at hand, which confirms that you've indeed been trying to rig a game against me). Also, you can't be surprised if you knew you weren't going to get what you demanded. Hence, why I still think you did this in bad faith.
And anyway, you can;t fault me or LG for thinking you were a Paul mythicist if you were using arguments suggesting you might've been.
Also, in your response to Boru, unless I misunderstood you, you said something about a poll from scholars (I'm guessing NT scholars) on this subject? Couldn't this be a chance to show there is no consensus then? Do us layfolks have access to that poll?
What's with the "ta ta" thing by the way? Are you saying bye bye (in some supposedly humorous fashion) each time you reply to me now? You're playing hot and cold with me or something?
