Let me leave aside both your lying and your trash talk.
I have indeed responded to the substance of your arguments. What I have not done is chase every attempt on your part to evade the issue at hand. My response has been that you don't have any substantive or authoritative basis for your position. 99.9 percent of actual scholars in the related field, friend and foe alike, disagree with you. Jesus is an historical person as attested to by the bible and secular history.
"Twice Josephus refers to Jesus. His second reference concerns the episode involving James, whom he defines as "the brother of Jesus who was called the Christ." Earlier, in the middle of his reports on Pontius Pilate’s administration, Josephus has a longer passage on Jesus. For centuries this had been dismissed as a Christian interpolation. But what is doubtless the original wording has now been restored. In view of its importance, the entire passage is presented here:
"At this time there was a wise man called Jesus, and his conduct was good, and he was known to be virtuous. Many people among the Jews and the other nations became his disciples. Pilate condemned him to be crucified, and to die. But those who had become his disciples did not abandon his discipleship. They reported that he had appeared to them three days after his crucifixion, and that he was alive. Accordingly, he was perhaps the Messiah, concerning whom the prophets have reported wonders. And the tribe of the Christians, so named after him, has not disappeared to this day" (Antiquities 20:200).

Flavius Josephus, Tacitus, Suetonius, and Pliny the Younger all mention Christ or his followers as well as Jewish sources. You say they don't; that sir is a lie and that makes you the liar not me. Your constant attacks on Christians and Jews alike shows that you are also a bigot. So then, it is completely reasonable to conclude that you are both a bigot and a liar. |
