You would be guessing wrong.  Even most Christian scholars have long since admitted the the traditional authorship has no basis in fact.  Your posts have not been remotely persuasive as the to authorship of the gospels.

Prove it. You must have a source for this, right? Cause you wouldn't simply assert such a thing because it fits with your presuppositions, right? Rolleyes

Quote:But and I repeat what ought to be obvious to you is that eyewitness testimony "is much better evidence than stories recorded thirty years later after having been been passed by word of mouth and translated into multiple languages by many, many anonymous tellers."

And I repeat that there are solid reasons why your cherished belief that Christianity is based upon "stories...recorded thirty years later...by many, many anonymous tellers" is simply crap.

But you can't let that go, because if you consider the alternative, your whole world changes.

As long as you can remain convinced that the gospels are unreliable...even fiction...you can go on living as you always have. Enjoy it while you can.
