"Are the gospels are reliable biographies of the life and teachings of Jesus of Nazareth."
The only rules I would request are
1. No appeals to authority (eg" most scholars agree") without reference
2. After introductory statements, one point at a time please. I hate those overlong rambling posts with 15 points being argued at a time.
Wow, this has to be a first, two christians utilizing the forum debate arena! Good luck to you both, I'll be following with interest

When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura
