There's still reason to believe his dishonest attempt at conversions, unless you have something proper to say against my last post. Try again.
There is nothing to respond to. I gave you a time line that puts the works of luke about 20 years before the works of Joseuphs, I eliminated the works of barnabus, and the bit concerning the map.
So now you return to the works of Josephus despite what was said, and you take an account that was written some time after the life of Christ (for another purpose all together) and simply 'believe' that it is the inspiration of the works of Luke.. (And appearently Matthew and Mark as well for do not forget they both record the event.)
To which I said was fine, but also told you that your efforts were the result of Faith, and not 'reason.' I am not here to argue your faith, or what you simple wish to be true. I am here to simply clear up or straighten out any biblically based misunderstandings.
