![]() Different birth accounts? Different resurrection accounts? How could it be? ![]() My goodness. Whatever are we to beleive out of that book anyhow? (And, moreover, why the heck does anyone believe it enough to try and convince others to believe it? :huh: ) |

This is the first time I ever heard that. My impression is that the only extant extrabiblical reference to Jesus is supposed to have been in Josephus's work, but the historicity of that has been questioned.

Fundies don't require much in the way of proof. They have a disposition to believe nonsense if it suits their purpose. |

"Do you think that there are undisputed extrabiblical records that show that the Jesus referred to in the Bible existed?" regards, NinJay |

Even if we did by some fluke of history have a copy of the relevant census how on earth could Jesus be identified ?
I mean it would hardly say Joseph - Carpenter Mary -Wife and still a Virgin (Honest !) Jesus- Son Of The One True God and Saviour of Mankind ![]() |
