The Jesus Itinerary

[John V]

Yeah, in a surprise move, I go with professional historians and verified records instead of the rabbinic siblings of people who believed that disease was cause by demonic possession.

Dude, seriously? There was no NT for centuries after Jesus! How would the early Christians have even known about the error, let alone be educated and savvy enough to pick up on it?

The early camp thinks Luke was written ~60-65, and the late camp ~80-90. Plenty of people would have spotted a false claim of less than a century prior.
