[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Basically dcum posters are putting themselves on par with scholars and historians of antiquity. And blanket stating how their opinions are equal to and supersede every scholar snd historian.

That’s where the skinhead Nazi holocaust denier and flat earth proponent and vaxxx denier comes in.

That’s not an attack. That’s an accurate description of your behavior. [/quote]

Wow. That is a whole lot of nasty just to say you don’t have any hard evidence.

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. .... 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.

Using the words of an evangelical pastor doesn’t make it any less ad hominem.

Today, nearly all historians, whether Christians or not, accept that Jesus existed and that the gospels contain plenty of valuable evidence which has to be weighed and assessed critically.
