Okay, look: you cannot keep asserting that. You are ridiculously overstating and exaggerating your position, but when I've specifically shown you that there are at least three schools of thought on this issue in another thread, and you keep going on like I hadn't said a word of that, then you are also actively lying, because you have been shown clearly that there is this question within the scholarly community. You really think just trundling through as though nobody has presented anything to you is an honest or effective way to go about this?
Then again, maybe you do, because I've witnessed a hell of a lot of ridiculous shit from you since I last posted; from poisoning the well by characterizing those who disagree with you as "angry, bitter and hurt," lowering yourself to the utterly inane "why are you angry at god?" strawman, and more recently outright copy/pasting stuff you'd said to me, word for word, as a reply to Jormungandr.
... In fact, as a mod, I actually need to ask: are you actually writing any of what you're saying yourself? Because that bit about Eusebius and Papias is a carbon copy of something you said to me in a different thread, and if you're copy/pasting your responses from elsewhere then we may have a problem here.
I have most of my arguments concerning basic Christianity stored as Word files so that I can reference them as needed in this forum or others.
I don't feel I need to re-invent the wheel every time someone asks a question I've answered dozens of times in the past.
So, if I don't cite a website or book, then it's original material that I wrote. Per the rules, I am citing all other material.
