[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maurice Casey, an irreligious Emeritus Professor of New Testament Languages and Literature at the University of Nottingham, concludes in his book Jesus: Evidence and Argument or Mythicist Myths? that "the whole idea that Jesus of Nazareth did not exist as a historical figure is verifiably false. Moreover, it has not been produced by anyone or anything with any reasonable relationship to critical scholarship. It belongs to the fantasy lives of people who used to be fundamentalist Christians. They did not believe in critical scholarship then, and they do not do so now. I cannot find any evidence that any of them have adequate professional qualifications."[/quote]

So what that an irreligious emeritus professor of New Testament languages and literature concluded that "the whole idea that Jesus of Nazareth did not exist as a historical figure is verifiably false...."  That doesn't mean that Jesus was divine.

There's no way to measure divinity.  You either believe in it, or you don't[/quote]
