OK. However, you have just made a positive claim; proof please. ( have a look at Minimalist's post above)
Quote:He really comes into the limelight when he is mentioned in Arthurian legend.
So what? That a mythological figure is mentioned in another myth is not proof of his existence.
By stating he is random, it just means he was a regular Joe Shmoe who rarely were recorded in antiquity.
I assume why some of you may be stuck on Joseph of Haramathea is because you know of the Arthurian legend perhaps from watching The Last Crusade.
But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin.
