So then, you believe there was a Jesus that died.... crucified?
Care to explain what parts of the NT you're cherry-picking?... it seems anything pauline should be removed, huh?
To me it's a matter of history, what is probable, and what is reasonable.
All that can be reasonably said with a good degree of certainty about Jesus of Nazareth is the following.
Jesus of Nazareth was crucified by Pontius Pilate.
Aside from a few teachings of his in the gospels, you can take everything else with a grain of salt.
Awesome!
Now, this raises a few tiny questions:
- Who was "Jesus of Nazareth"? (in your view)
- Why would Pontius Pilate have him crucified?
- What evidence gives you such certainty about this event?
