And that Herods command to have all the newborns slaughtered is recorded in the bible and nowhere else.

Strange that.

Go to the post Jesus Itinerary, see post #163.

I would address one issue...stating that 55CE is 'too early for legend'. Says who??? Anyone familiar with the outlaw West(US), is also familiar with how the James Gang was immortalized in dime store novels even as the gang still was operating. The stories romanticised the lawlessness because it made for sales, not because it was reporting the truth. I see no reason to consider the Jesus story as any different. It actually smacks strongly of legend, and has Jesse James to compare itself with. No doubt there are scores of legends assembled similarly.

The stories of Jesse James were embellished, for money. Guess what they were also true about Jesse being a murderer and a bank robber, no legend he was a real person who did bad things and embellished to make money. Christ is a real person who was recorded by eyewitness. It's written down, it's been spread all over the world, sorry you missed it.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
