Is it possible?

Do you not grasp the meaning of the word 'comtemporary' ? (the apostles did NOT write the Gospels,and Saul never met Jesus)

I think somebody said you claim to be a Phd candidate. May I ask,in which discipline at at which university? What is the title of your Phd thesis.? I'm trying to establish if you have any personal credibility or are being cavalier with the truth.

I was talking about witnesses to Christianity, not just the Bible. The people in Zeitoun all claim to have witnessed the Blessed Virgin Mary, if not the events of the Gospels. Similarly, St. Paul claimed to meet Jesus in a vision, as well as the other Apostles in the flesh, including St. Peter.

But like I said, I don't think most people, when converting to Christianity, are necessarily taking into account witnesses (unless they are a direct witness, as St. Paul claimed to be).

Now, I have not finished even writing/defending my research proposal yet, let alone completed my dissertation. I gave my discipline (molecular biology) but I am not giving my university or anything else. I'm not a student in theology if that's what you think. In terms of religion I am mostly self-taught and am speaking from my own experiences as a convert who has spoken to other converts unless otherwise noted.
