[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hmm, who should I trust? Some rando DCUMer who is blowing hot air, or pp’s dozen scholars who have put many years into learning ancient languages and studying the extant sources?[/quote]

Again, and for what must be the 50th time, no one here is making the claim that Jesus the man didn't exist.

For the 50th time, one of you skeptics is obsessing over the fact that there’s no eye-witness testimony (except maybe John…) so maybe he didn’t exist. Finding one of the skeptic obsessive’s 50-some posts should be easy for you.[/quote]

Literally no one claimed he didn’t exist.

You’re playing games that everybody can see through. This thread wouldn’t be 43 pages if 9:01 and 9:05 (you?) weren’t obsessively asking for eye-witnesses.

Would it help you understand if we rephrase: 9:01/9:05 thinks it’s [b]probable[/b] Jesus did not exist because they’re unconvinced by all the scholarship they casually dismiss as “biased.” [b]The rest of us think it’s very probable he did, based on the same credible scholarship[/b].[/quote]

Ahhh…I remember back when we had consensus about “very probable”.

LOL. A handful of DCUMers with zero scholarly qualifications or evidence had a consensus. Because DCUM decides![/quote]

This is DCUM, not NTnerdcirclejerk.com.

Judging by the trolls here, a circlejerk about definitions is exactly what they want.

Anyways, it's adorable that a few atheists on DCUM, with zero scholarly qualifications, think they get to decide whether Jesus existed with certainty or not.[/quote]

I used the word “bias”. PP incorrectly called it “vested interest”. If you don’t want to debate definitions, get a dictionary and start using words correctly.
