[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My understanding is that Matthew and John, who wrote the 1st and 4th gospels did actually know Jesus, and were eyewitnesses - but if anyone has contrary information I'd be interested in hearing it.[/quote]

That's cute that you think the bible is a reliable historical source.  :lol:

Not sure what you mean here -- if the question is whether Jesus was an actual historical person, I'd think the gospels of Matthew and John, if they actually were there at the time, tends to shed light on that question unless you believe they were fabricate d out of [b]while cloth[/b].  From what I've read [b]most biblical scholars[/b] deem them authentic.[/quote]

:oops: "whole cloth"[/quote]

I'd be surprised if "most biblical scholars" didn't find them "authentic".  :lol:

But why should anyone care what "most biblical scholars" think?

For the same reason you would care what anyone who has devoted their life to study of a given subject would think?

Or is expertise something we openly don't care about in America anymore?[/quote]
