[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Deniers' positions going forward:

(1) Bart Ehrman and Jewish historians all have a vested interest in finding Jesus existed.
(2) Ignoring all the other evidence[/quote]

Having biases doesn’t mean “invested interest”.

Do we need to define bias now? 
[/quote]

Maybe, since you’re confusing “vested” and “invested.”[/quote]

Yes. Typing quickly on my phone.

Don't bother. Your claim that atheist and Jewish scholars Ehrman, Levine and Fredricksen are biased in favor of finding Jesus' existence is laughable however you define it.[/quote]

For decades they have studied the NT. They went to theological/seminary schools. Yeah, they are biased.

Keep making us laugh.

We all studied World War II in high school. That doesn't make us Nazis. [/quote]

You probably deeply believe what you were taught about WWII to be true. More so if you had spent decades of your life hearing and repeating the same stories.

It’s easy for you to verify what is true or not for much of WWII because of physical evidence or unbiased eye witnesses. That is not the case here.

Ehrman, Levine and Fredericksen have spent decades trying to disprove much of Christianity. They have nothing to lose. Proving Jesus didn't exist would make them go down in history.

They are trying to disprove supernatural elements by identifying inconsistencies in texts.  [/quote]

Exactly. But neither Ehrman, Levine or Fredericksen has any doubt that Jesus existed. [/quote]
