[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]John, the author of the gospel of that name never met Jesus. That assertion made here is unsupported. None of the writers of the gospels or Paul ever met Jesus.[/quote]

However, Paul met Jesus' brother, an eyewitness.[/quote]

I guess that's true. I can't dispute that. There is no gospel of James though. [/quote]

And neither of them are independent/unbiased sources. [/quote]

We have those too.[/quote]

There are no independent eyewitnesses. [/quote]

Other than Jesus' brother and the apostles?[/quote]

Keyword: independent

And claiming supernatural events lowers confidence in a source. [/quote]

So if Jesus' brother, James, told you the sky was blue, you would have some doubts? All observers are biased. To claim that there are special independent observers of history is ludicrous. [/quote]

Do we even know he was a brother? Not the cousin?

The early Christian evangelists are obviously biased.  :roll: 
 [/quote]

Well I guess there wasn't an independent unbiased observer present at both births. Regardless, he is an eyewitness to the various events in Jesus' life. Did he ascribe some events to supernatural causes? Yes. Does that make his observations invalid or his conclusions invalid? Again, claiming that there are special people who provide unbiased independent observations of history is ludicrous. I gather you fall for a lot of fake news from your special observers of history.[/quote]

Obviously they are biased. Can’t believe that needs to be said.
