[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote] Historical reconstruction is never absolutely certain, and in the case of Jesus it is sometimes highly uncertain. [/quote]

Yup. “Never absolutely certain.”

He [i]most likely[/i] existed.

[/quote]

Jesus did more than just exist. He said and did a great many things that most historians are reasonably certain we can know about today. ....[b] A hundred and fifty years ago a fairly well respected scholar named Bruno Bauer maintained that the historical Jesus never existed. Anyone who says that today - in the academic world at least - gets grouped with the skinheads who say there was no Holocaust and the scientific holdouts who want to believe the world is flat. [/b]

? What does this have to do with anything, you're arguing with yourself.  I second the other pp's question: "why?"[/quote]

Discussing the lack of hard evidence isn’t denying that he existed. It’s just saying we don’t have hard evidence.

More ad hominems.

So you think the academics and historians quoted here don’t have sufficient evidence? Why not? [/quote]

Ok. What is the hard evidence? Any independent, contemporary sources? 
[/quote]

You are automatically discarding all the evidence seen and considered by every historians and scholar why?[b] Because you are the atheist version of the Nazi skinhead that denies the holocaust and the atheist version of a flat earther and the atheist version of an anti-vaxxer[/b]. [/quote]

basically this is all you got -- the name calling. And not a shred of evidence has been mentioned on this thread to discard, so I don't know what you're talking about.[/quote]

You haven’t read these scholars and their writings? So you think I personally have a dossier of evidence I myself unearthed in a dusty library and have been keeping a secret?

Refute those historians and scholars, not me. [/quote]
