Quote: James Tabor. A real quack, arguing for a Jesus dynasty.
James Tabor supports Simcha Jacobovici's asinine 'jesus tomb' in Talpiot. His credibility has thus taken a severe hit.
In 1996 the Jesus Seminar released its analysis of xtian bullshit.

Even this collection of theological con men found that:
Quote:Of the 176 events examined:
Only ten were given a red rating (indicating that the Fellows had a relatively high level of confidence that the event actually took place)
Nineteen were colored pink (suggesting that the event probably occurred)
The combined number of red and pink events (29) amounts to 16% of the total (176). That is slightly lower than the 18% of the sayings—primarily parables and aphorisms—assigned to the red and pink categories in The Five Gospels.
The deeds of Jesus the Fellows voted as most likely to be authentic are:
The Beelzebul controversy
A voice in the wilderness
John Baptizes Jesus
Jesus proclaims the good news
Peter’s mother-in-law
The leper
Paralytic and four
Call of Levi
Dining with sinners
Sabbath observance
Why these particular pieces of shit are considered authentic and other pieces of shit are not is a mystery as all derive from the same source. Nonetheless, when studied by leading jesus freaks of the day it looks like old jebus didn't do so well even among his biggest fans.
Imagine what WE think of them!
