Anything that might require you to present an alternate or any uncomfortable explanation, you ignore. crafty.

Not my job to present an alternative explanation nor am I required to do so when the validity of your claims that are at issue I trust you've heard of the little thing called "the burden of proof"?

Many of the statements I have made are easily verified and have been extensively proven by academic scholarship and have long been part of academia's knowledge base.

I am not going to recite the collective content of hundreds of texts and scholarly articles for you. If you wish to be obtuse, you will continue to be obtuse.

I thought you said that you didn't and don't appeal to authority!

And no scholarship I know of dates the letters of Paul to 180, claims that they are all forgeries,, let alone as vastly interpolated and inauthentic as you claim they are, or argues that the Gospels preceded what are recognized aqs the authentic letters.

In fact, when I asked you about this previously, you mentioned that you didn't come to your conclusions on these matters on the basis of scholarship, didn't you?.

So which is it.

And BTW, I'm not asking you for hundreds of citations. Just a few.

Evasion but no substance. Typical spin.

There has been nothing presented to evade, ie no substance, and when solicited for indications of your being ignored, you evade. All you seem to have provided is bullshit and assertions. Typical Sheshbazzar.

Did I name any academic articles? or 'authority figures' ? No.

That does not mean that I do not acknowledge that there is expertise in various fields of study.
I avail myself of the collective knowledge of many, with discrimination in weighing the accuracy and value of what I read.
I just do not name my sources, or reinforce my positions or arguments via the citing of 'authority figures' names.

I didn't evade. All you need to do is reply point by point to an entire post.
Instead of taking up space with your usual supply of worthless and snide insults and put-downs.

Have you studied Greek? If so, what is the level of your competency in it? Do you read the GNT without the aid of an interlinear?

Enough.

Have you studied Hebrew? If so, what is the level of your competency in it? Do you read The Hebrew Torah without the aid of an interlinear?
