<< First of all, we need to dispose of the farcical "Jesus Seminar", of Funk and his colored balls. Funk and Company approach their study with the predetermination that miracles didn't happen, and that there was no resurrection, so they discount the testimony of the New Testament accounts before they begin. >>

And you start with the predetermination that the miracles did happen. That's not being objective Freddy. Your flippant dismissal of the Jesus Seminar isn't going to cut it. There are over 100 religious scholars from major universities now participating. It is totally proper to look for mention of Jesus independent of the Bible. The fact is that there is very little to be found in the first century. Doesn't it seem odd that such profound events weren't considered important to others in the area?

How is it that the dating of the New Testament writings are so easy for you, yet the Jesus Seminar scholars find it so difficult? Maybe you ought to join the Jesus Seminar and show 'em. They are asking for qualified people to join.

Nice seeing you back.
