[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are you capable of a discussion? Or can you only copy & paste the same crap over and over again?

Here you go:
“Historical reconstruction is never absolutely certain, and in the case of Jesus it is sometimes highly uncertain.”

You think the words and works of every respected scholar and historian quoted here is crap? Why? [/quote]

Do “respected scholars” call people who disagree with them “skinheads”?

Apparently climate change deniers, holocaust deniers, anti-vaxxers, and flat earthers are all equivalent to historical Jesus deniers. If the comparison bothers you, perhaps look in the mirror.

The Historical Jesus DID Exist - Bart Ehrman

“This is not even an issue for scholars of antiquity.... The reason for thinking Jesus existed is because he is abundantly attested in early sources.... If you want to go where the evidence goes, I think that atheists have done themselves a disservice by jumping on the bandwagon of mythicism, because frankly, it makes you look foolish to the outside world. If that’s what you’re going to believe, you just look foolish.“

Nobody here is denying historical Jesus. So why are you calling people “skinheads”?

[/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. .... 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. 
M A Powell, Trinity Lutheran Seminary

If you don’t like to be grouped with holocaust deniers and climate deniers and covid deniers, then don’t talk like they do. [/quote]

This vitriol isn't doing you any favors.

People don't believe the same things you believe.  Vallibgnpeope Nazis for having legitimate doubts about a person for whom our primary sources are based at least 70 years after he lived is legitimate.

Again what people doubt isn't the existence of a person named Jesus, what they doubt are the veracity of the gospels.[/quote]
