I beg to differ, at least insomuch as I am apparently not one of you. Ehrman believes there was a "Historical Jesus", whatever that means. I do not, he and I are clearly operating on different sets of standards, at least in this regard. There is nothing wrong with this, you're right...... unless you demand that truth claims be demonstrated. Then you have a serious issue. You may agree with scholars, I'd rather agree with demonstrable evidence, regardless of who presents it or what package it comes presented in.
Was there a historical Jesus? Not until someone can demonstrate such, nope. That's what they call "provisional certainty" with regards to the "null hypothesis".
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
