Emile, Do you get the A&E channel on TV? They have a great series on mysteries of the Bible. Comes on at 6 pm central on Saturdays. Very balanced and informative mixing verse and archeology. A couple of reports I found interesting, the Ark is in Isreal but no one wants to touch it, and the Dead Sea Scrolls will change all Yehweh based religions when they are released. Bill

Emile, How foolish of me. Of course I should have known that you are more of an authority on the Bible than a whole group of scholars that spent years studying and debating it. You have informed us of this many times. I never said that I agreed with the Jesus scholars. I only posted it here to show how you and others choose to ignore new findings by scholars that run counter to your beliefs. << The Gospel accounts are eyewitness accounts while The Jesus Seminar and the Babylonian Talmud are mosttly hearsay and prejudiced accounts collected many centuries after the events. >> Emile, I am shocked that a Bible scholar like you doesn't know that the gospels were not written at the time of the events by witnesses, but hundreds of years later, and that an Atheist like me does know that.

Emile, it isn't really true that thousands of people witnessed Jesus' death. That has been glorified A LOT over time, and the Bible was written over quite a period after his death. He was crucified as a common criminal at the edge of town, and it was no big deal in any way. There is not even any historical reference to him for about a hundred years, as his followers, who were led by women, incidentally, gradually spread the "good news" about him by writing Gospels, which slowly created and embellished a legend. Do you want to talk about Jesus' missing years, when many people believe he was in Tibet, studying Buddhist wisdom?
