What about them?  You asked for sources, you got what you asked for.

Gee, a christian doesn't actually like the consensus of scholars after all.  How unexpected.

those other theories stack evidence against your posted theory. two of which are far more plausible. it seems you just cherry picked the most atheistic frendly theory and posted it with out any through to the biblical content you are pretending to discuss.

retard, there are 4 different theories these same scholars compiled/recognise. not just the one you posted that is why I gave you the other three. there are 4 possible innerations on how the gospels where compiled one not having favor on the other three. the compilation based on popular vote puts markian authorship first, most agree content says otherwise.

I don't have to repeat the line "the consensus of scholars" in these convos, so it's not all that worrisome to me.  If you don't actually agree with the consensus of scholars, then I suppose we can just remind you of that everytime you repeat the mantra, right?

I don't know what to tell you, as far as the historicity of christ is concerned, all of the potential historical jesus are "atheistic".

None of them posit, real godman, really true..because then the "history" game would be up, huh? Similarly, none of them certify the sectarian claims to timelines and composition..because, here again the "history" game would be up. Regardless of whichever historical jesus was the real jesus, if any, the composition of the thing you think is a magic book just doesn't have the past that your faith demands it must.
