I wrote this earlier about that story:
The Teacher of Righteousness was interesting. If illustrates that the Jews were waiting for a Messiah. A moral teacher and the same political climate would result in similarities.
Ahhh... indeed you did... it must have been hidden from me, because it got joined with an earlier reply by the forum.
ok, sorry about that.
But that's not what the story illustrates.
It illustrates that about a hundred years before JC, there was a man (maybe. This too could just be a story) who did a lot of things against the established faith system.
And these things became a part of the story of JC.
That alone should, at least, raise a few red flags on the credibility that the story of JC has.
The very same event, on the very same place, and a few decades apart?
