"The evidence shows there was no historical Jesus as depicted in the bible."

I previously posted this to Scott but it applies to you as well.

"..the sum total of the literary, historical and archaeological evidence from the ancient world dramatically supports the New Testament record on Jesus. Those who claim it does not are sadly misinformed, tragically closed-minded, or dishonest."
issuesetc.org

I wonder on what basis you disagree with the above statement? What are your credentials Solon? Do you have a PH.D. in any of these areas; "Ancient Near East; Ancient Greece; Ancient Rome; Christianity and the Roman Empire; Reformation Era"?

If not, which one of these are you; "sadly misinformed, tragically closed-minded, or dishonest."?

Buddhists, Hindus, and other religious persuasions around the world accord Jesus no more historical authenticity as a miracle worker than they do Dionysus or Thor;

But in China today , they do love Christmas time...

PS: A little pay-back for that period when they passed those immigration acts in Congress forbidding Chinese to immigrate here , and those here were hunted down , robbed , sent adrift in boats , massacred and forbidden to work .
Funny World ...keeps on spinning around and around !
